Why AI should forget things?

Memory is like an attic. If there is lots of stuff that makes it slow and if the attic is full of stuff, that means the owner must check much more merchandise than in a clean attic. When people are cleaning their attics and carrying unnecessary merchandise away.

That makes it easier to use that room. People forget things because that makes their memory effective. If there are left only things. that people need that makes the memory effective. And one reason for removing things from memory is that we don't use them. In this text system, the brain and computers follow the same rule. They forget because their memory is not unlimited.

Why do we forget? Forgetting things makes our memory more effective because there are not so many memories. Memory is an impressive thing, but even human memory is not unlimited. When the system stores something in memory, it must reserve one memory unit for each memory. And when the system wants to find something in memory, that requires that it must check every memory unit. The memories of computers and the human brain operate the same way. They store memories in a network structure. That memory does not have unlimited capacity.

So, if we don't use some memories, we should not store them. If the system erases memories that it doesn't use, that releases those memory units for new memories. Memory is like a network of cells that form a network and reconnect those cells in a morphing neural network makes possible to reshape images and memory entireties.

When artificial intelligence erases some memories, it does the same thing that regular computer users do every spring. It cleans its memory from unnecessary data, which makes it faster. The algorithm determines how often a user or program must open a certain file. If the file is not open, or it has no other connections with used software, that means the system erases that file. That kind of thing makes the AI more effective.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
