For calibration, look at how long it takes human babies, with their onboard superdupercomputers, to learn anything. Especially if you're not so much of a Chomskyan, believing Piaget's development track has more to do with the brain figuring out patterns in the world rather than with a developmental program... if the brain's figuring out language and physics (and walking) through advanced statistics and iterated recalibration, well, it's taking quite a while. Our piddly little AIs now have their work cut out for them. -xx- Damien X-) ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
