i'm certainly optimistic that it can work, but i still don't see driverless trains anywhere. You'd think that would be a pretty easy problem to solve, yet we still have drivers on all the rail systems in all the cities i've lived in.
I see a lot of vitriolic hate towards trump on my facebook feed. against my better judgement, i'm tempted to vote for him just out of curiosity. Somewhere in my head, 12 year old me is begging me to go through with it.
I recognize this urge. Traveling in the rear facing seat of my parent's station wagon, after my brother had defined the edge of his sovereign territory, i just couldn't resist the tempation to wave my hand defiantly in his airspace.
I'm sure i'll get in trouble, but i just want to see how much squealing will happen.
20 years ago it was cool. There's new things now. People get more jazzed about the experience of showing up at a pokemon gym and finding hundreds of others there.
Pokemon, as lame as it is, is honestly a superior experience. You show up. There's a bunch of people there who you share an interest with. You can talk, or you can just leave if they annoy you. It's like all the good parts of going to a movie without the overhead of feeling trapped with these annoying people because you paid good money to be there. It also doesn't come with the risk that the movie will be crap and you'd rather just have it on in the background while you did something you want to do.
I hear they are also equipping the troops with other super human abilities. The technology uses advanced materials to protect the soldier's feet and lower leg from damaging temperatures and surfaces that would injure a normal human foot while still allowing the user to sense when they are standing on the ground. This advanced superhuman enhancement is definitely not just called boots.
I propose the installation of a giant aquarium bubbler at the bottom of the ocean.
the treasure chest that opens to release a torrent of built up bubbles is a classic, but i've always been partial to the skeleton at the helm with his head bobbing in the air stream.
the misleading part is describing the robots as ants. This evokes images of hexapod robots straining their tiny feet. The video even shows such robots walking around. Those aren't the robots that did the towing though. the actual robots are just a winch glued to the floor. For all i know. the touted synchronization is nothing more than each robot blindly executing the same timeline of roll, glue, pull from one synchronized starting signal.
Granted, they are tiny winches powered by the LiOn batteries that i use in little helicopters and quad copters, and the glue is some magic stuff that can be engaged and disengaged at will by the robots. That's all incredible stuff. I was somehow let down by it though as i was expecting to see something even more incredible.
hydroponics seems to be effective at growing a certain crop in berkeley. I bet you could grow it on mars as well. In fact, i think we can just go ahead and add that to the list of amazing benefits to this plant. not only does it cure everything, it enables us to live on mars!
According to ray kurzweil, we are going to have memory nanites injected into our brains next year! The singularity is coming in 2 years. I'm not as optimistic as ray, but it does seem like the tech to look up the entirety of human knowledge is eventually going to be inextricably linked to the human taking the test. We should probably start planning for that.
Maybe the skills of the future have more to do with using tech to access information than filling your head. I try to think things through for myself, but honestly i don't know why when the end result of someone just copying from stack overflow seems just as good as my result. looking shit up and copying it is the skillset of the future.
What we probably need are tests that acknowledge that and students can't just come in armed with a list of answer indices, but actually have to dig around for the right information.
Similarly, if Apple where to develop the tool and use it in-house, then there are brains in Cupertino that know how to defeat the protection. Think of insider threat, extortion, the increased attempts to break into Apples network, etc... Not to mention the requests from law enforcement to break into other phones.
Oh come on. apple is full of brains that know how to defeat the protection right now. They have always known. This has more to do with just having access to the right code signing certs than some epic level secret knowledge and coding skills.
yes. i was able to give the driver a bad rating. i don't know what happened, but i received a credit towards my next ride so i felt like something happened.
Trump just says stuff because he doesn't actually know how anything works. Business included. He's a complete moron who just got handed a silver spoon at birth. His apparent success should not be any indication he has a clue how anything other than bribing works in the world. He know nothing about politics, nothing about business, nothing about people, nothing about the world. He's gotten were he is simply because of money.
Sounds like every US president ever. What exactly was your point?
well, we know obama wasn't handed a silver spoon at birth. they don't have those in kenya:)
yes, and that's the interpretation i've always gone with. in RoJ, luke is on the cusp of succumbing to the dark side. he dresses in black. he is part machine. His lightsaber is green, not blue, not red. He's walked the line since his "failure in the cave"
The movies aren't really that subtle about it. They've established these symbols over and over. Darth Vader and the Emperor spit it right out and say they can feel the conflict within him.
in the movies defense it doesn't really say she had forgotten anything. We don't know anything about her past or what she knows, but she never says anything to imply that she doesn't know. She is uncommunicative about why she doesn't want to leave jakku, but it's not because of amnesia. Her vision upon touching the lightsaber is a revelation to the viewer, but maybe nothing she doesn't already know. in fact it could be seen as a vision of things she is very aware of and possibly trying to distance herself from.
just like american ninja! This is the thing that keeps me going in life. One day i'll remember all the training i received as a child and subsequently forgot.

You're almost there! Just take the time to fill out a little more personal info and give us access to all your data.

crouch in the corner and just keep hitting b as fast as you can.
It looks like the Star Trek type future won't be happening.
in case you missed it, the star trek future came and went. flipping open communicators was 20 years ago.

What passes as AI so far is still just all smoke and mirrors.
Yeah, but the shareholders don't want the ceo to declare this the era of smoke and mirrors.
i just built a gaming system over the winter. all i do is play games on it. windows 10 has been fine. It's not exactly a critical system.
but a factory in china can make them even cheaper with more pollution. robots + pollution == $profit$

How does AlphaGo feel about it's victory? i bet it's ecstatic.

TLDR: ted cruz is bad.

Ever seen a dirty Uber car? .
yes. i was able to give the driver a bad rating. i don't know what happened, but i received a credit towards my next ride so i felt like something happened.
i might. i'm not sure. i get all of my stuff printed from places like shapeways.

He probably thinks the Nanny State passed Ohm's Law.
there was a lot of resistance to that one. but it's currently on the books because it passed with enough volts
gah. i really had to force that last one in there :/
we need a dispenser right here!
