Geography

Kiataussaq Island is the northernmost island of any size in the northernmost part of Upernavik Archipelago, located approximately 8.5 km (5.3 mi) to the west of the Nunatarsuaq nunataq on the mainland of Greenland. To the north of the island, only small skerries of diminishing size dot the surface of southern Melville Bay.[1][2] The island is rocky, culminating in an unnamed 420 m (1,380 ft) peak in the western part of the island.[1]

Skerries

Kiataussaq Island is surrounded by several skerries in the north and west: collectively known as Kiataussaq Skerries (Greenlandic: Kiataussap Qeqertarsue, Danish: Bluhme øer):[1]

gollark: "Pluck it out" is also easy to say, but it's actually even harder.
gollark: "Find useful stuff" also sounds pleasantly easy, but it's *not*. Even a human reading a repository or paper may struggle to find "useful" bits; reasoning about the relevance of a new set of information or methods for a project is a difficult general intelligence task.
gollark: I mean, "list of AI" is probably easy enough, you could just... search github using some keywords, and maybe research papers.
gollark: Just because you can describe a task in a sentence or so doesn't mean you can give a description clear and detailed enough to think about programming it.
gollark: Early attempts at AI back in the last millennium tried to create AIs by giving them logical reasoning abilities and a large set of facts. This didn't really work; they did some things, hit the limits of the facts they had, and didn't do anything very interesting.
