On Saturday, two of the Democratic nominee’s events were headlined by prominent musicians.

Flash on the pate While research in Ireland suggests that hats can protect scalps from the sun (see Feedback, 13 July), research in Germany suggests that letting rain soak your head might – just maybe – help you survive if and when lightning strikes your pate. The researchers used a wetted artificial head, having chosen not to experiment with a wetted genuine human head. Their report, called “Rain may improve survival from direct lightning strikes to the human head”, aimed to “measure the influence of rain during high-energy direct lightning strikes on a realistic three-compartment human head phantom”.

Lesley-Ann Knee credits her father for introducing her to the world of patents. He’s an engineer who specializes in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and holds several patents on technologies he developed while working for Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. “I would hear stories of his experiences through the patent prosecution processes,” Knee says, which taught her about different kinds of patents, the importance of documentation, and using detailed language. She remembers one litigation battle over a patent that went on for years, which her father’s company lost because someone forgot to delete information in a patent claim.

He, too, explains how he attempted to create a neural net back in the 1980s and came to the realization that no matter what the movies portray, there is no such thing as Artificial Intelligence that would be Consciousness. As I have said, I created Socrates in the late 1970s and used my children as test subjects to interact with it and have a conversation. My daughter would bring her friends over and tell them her computer talked to her. I caused a bit of a…
Kamala Harris, Usher Kamala Harris can’t drum up support unless she buses people in or invites a celebrity to headline her events. Harris will campaign with singer Usher in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday with less than three to go until Election Day. But the location is private. So it really isn’t a campaign rally.

The concert will be held at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta. I’m at Kamala Harris’s rally at…
