Ancient dreams of intelligent machines: 3,000 years of robots
The French philosopher René Descartes was reputedly fond of automata: they inspired his view that living things were biological
machines that function like clockwork. Less known is a strange story that began to circulate after the philosopher’s death in 1650.
This centred on Descartes’s daughter Francine, who died of scarlet fever at the age of five.
According to the tale, a distraught Descartes had a clockwork Francine made: a walking, talking simulacrum. When Queen
Christina invited the philosopher to Sweden in 1649, he sailed with the automaton concealed in a casket. Suspicious sailors forced
the trunk open; when the mechanical child sat up to greet them, the horrified crew threw it overboard.
The story is probably apocryphal. But it sums up the hopes and fears that have been associated with human-like machines for
nearly three millennia. Those who build such devices do so in the hope that they will overcome natural limits – in Descartes’s case,
death itself. But this very unnaturalness terrifies and repulses others. In our era of advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI),
those polarized responses persist, with pundits and the public applauding or warning against each advance. Digging into the deep
history of intelligent machines, both real and imagined, we see how these attitudes evolved: from fantasies of trusty mechanical
helpers to fears that runaway advances in technology might lead to creatures that supersede humanity itself.

More than 100 South African gold miners treated for smoke inhalation
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Hundreds of South African gold mine workers were rescued and over 100 treated for smoke
inhalation after an underground fire, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Thursday.
Safety is a huge issue in South Africa’s dangerous deep-level mines and a focus for investors. A spate of deaths at SibanyeStillwater’s
gold operations, including a seismic event that killed seven miners in early May, has highlighted the risks.
In the latest incident, more than 600 miners were initially trapped after a fire broke out at a mine east of Johannesburg operated
by unlisted Gold One, NUM said.
This comes almost two weeks after five miners died in an underground fire at a South African copper mine operated by unlisted
Palabora Mining Company in Limpopo.
Company officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
“As the NUM, we vehemently condemn this kind of incident as it is becoming a trend”, the union said in a statement.

The photography exercise book by Bert Krages
Training your eye to shoot like a pro
A while ago I was asked if I’d like to have a look at Bert Krages’ book. My initial thought was that it
would pretty much be a list of ‘try this’ exercises. Well in a way it is, in that you really need to go out and
try the exercises, not just read about them. In much the same way that my piano playing won’t improve by
just buying more books about playing the piano…
Try the technical exercises – a desk lamp and an egg really can teach you an enormous amount
about the realities of lighting, shadows and reflected light. I’ve been a pro photographer since 2004 and
taking the time to do some of the exercises has been of real benefit.
A well-written book that is packed with useful images to illustrate the matters at hand. It’s nice to
see the author didn’t fall into the trap of only including ‘perfect’ photos – you will look at some and think ‘I
could do better than that’ – good!
It’s a book for people who want to take more photos and increase their satisfaction from doing so.
Definitely one to try if you feel you’re perhaps clinging to some of the technical aspects of photography as
a bit of a safety blanket, to avoid the fluffy artsy stuff.

Bert Krages is a photographer and attorney who is the author of two previous photography books,

Many graduates earn ‘paltry returns’ for their degree
Mr Halfon, a former skills minister, stated in his speech that the nation has “become obsessed ______(1) full academic degrees”.
“We are creating a higher education system that overwhelmingly favours academic degrees, while intermediate and higher technical offerings are comparatively tiny. The labour market does not need an ever-growing supply of academic degrees. Between a fifth and a third of our graduates take non-graduate jobs. The extra return for having a degree varies wildly according to subject and institution. For many, the returns are paltry.”
Mr Halfon said that there is a strong need for intermediate skills. “There are skills shortages in several sectors. And there are millions ______(2) people who want to get on in life – preferably without spending £50,000 on academic degrees,” he added. “There has been growing concern about the amount of debt students are accumulating and the interest being charged on that debt.”
A spokesman for UUK (a representative organisation for the UK’s universities) said: “Official figures are clear that, on average, university graduates continue to earn substantially more than non-graduates and are more likely to be in employment. A university degree remains an excellent investment.”
“We must, however, be careful to avoid using graduate salaries as the single measure of success in higher education.

I. Fifty percent of the graduates take non-graduate jobs. II. Having a degree doesn’t necessarily mean having great salaries. III. The labour market lacks intermediate skills. IV.

German explosives experts defused a massive Second World War bomb in the financial capital of
Frankfurt on Sunday after tens of thousands of people evacuated their homes.
About 60,000 people were ordered to leave in what was Germany’s biggest evacuation since the war,
with more than 1,000 emergency service workers helping to clear the area around the bomb, which was
discovered on a building site last week. Police set up cordons around the evacuation area, which covered a
radius of just under a mile (1.5km), as residents dragged suitcases with them and many families left by
bicycle.
The fire service said the evacuation of two hospitals, including premature babies and patients in
intensive care, had been completed and they were helping about 500 elderly people to leave residences
and care homes.
More than 2,000 tonnes of live bombs and munitions are found each year in Germany, even under
buildings. In July, a kindergarten was evacuated after teachers discovered an unexploded Second World
War bomb on a shelf among some toys. British and American warplanes pummelled Germany with 1.5 million
tonnes of bombs that killed 600,000 people. Officials estimate that 15% of the bombs failed to explode.
Frankfurt police said they rang every doorbell and used helicopters with heat-sensing cameras to
make sure nobody was left behind before they began defusing the bomb on Sunday.
