      Wow - and "only" £3820! :laugh: Think I'll stick with the free Merlin Bird ID app and a cheap (or should that be "cheep"?) telephoto phone lens for now.

        They should invent some kind of AI-spectacles which can directly pinpoint/highlight the buggy piece of code, while debugging. Should have the ability to read the coder's mind, to understand expected behaviour. Or, does this already exist?

            To read shouldn't be that difficult. To understand it... that's another thing :rolleyes: :laugh:

              On second thoughts, such a device would be harmful to coder's careers. A single coder wearing this AI-spectacles could potentially displace many coding jobs.

                I'd love to have a pair of these, but not at $4,800 US.

                  Geez, ok, that's cool but it seems like it takes the fun out of doing the identification oneself. In 5-10 years, nobody will be able to do anything without AI. And yeah, I mean anything. :rolleyes:

                    Actually that was my thought also. Not my thing but from what I have seen identification is only a small part of what people enjoy about it. Not to mention that at least some people already have expensive equipment used just to see the birds from a distance, so how do these match that quality?

                      The identification can be a big part of it if the birder has a list of species he wants to see in his lifetime. But that's only when spotting birds that you don't usually see everyday.

                      The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
