While the brain may have a bunch of parallel processes going on, they share a single physical state, and that state does remain highly interconnected, especially when it comes to the effects of chemical levels in the brain as opposed to neuron firing. Shared state still means sequential dependency.
A human assistant's largest asset IMO is empathetic situational understanding of what you're trying to accomplish, so yes it is a limitation that matters well beyond a linguistic communication tunnel.
No, it's that the computer has no associated perception data on which it can perform labeling.
Many things in human language are vague associations to physical and/or emotional stimulus. Words like "scary" vs "frightening", or "hungry" vs "peckish", or "wet" vs "damp", harken to experience and overall situation, not to quantification or rational definition. We have all of these sensory inputs, then learn a rational label to apply to those, so that we can communicate.
A machine with an information dump as its "experience" source would only be working with the labels.
What's your definition of "mind" in this scenario? And what possible tests are you referencing?
There's no NN that can properly simulate a human mind, and neuroscience keeps bringing little problematic things up from the physical brain implementation that aren't expressed at all in the ultra-simplistic mul-add coefficient NN model.
Because experience is not attained in parallel. In both the human and statistical training scenarios (neural nets, etc), you go through situation X with no experience, then through experience X' with the experience of the prior, then through experience X'' with the experience of X', etc. This is how useful knowledge based on experience is reinforced and built up, and false conclusions culled through testing.
You cannot simply independently experience all of these from tabula rasa and hope to add them together. The only possibility to do that is with symbolic processing, and going that route caused the AI winter.
33,170 patents were awarded just in the companies listed in TFS. That means the USPTO granted almost 100 patents *per day* in 2012 to just these companies.
Now, I know that granting a single patent can be a multi-year process, I do not believe for one second that every single one of these patents should be granted (especially from software companies), nor that the USPTO made a reasonable and informed judgement on each application.
It's not even really about discernible pixels, IMO. Most shots are framed to look at one thing. There's only so much detail about that's necessary. Think about how large an object of focus is on a display, and how small in relation the pixels need to be in order to capture all the relevant detail. 1080p pretty much covers it, at the level of seeing fabric detail and skin texture.
Where 1080p and higher res is actually useful, and not just a luxury enhancement, is sports. Consider a wide shot of a football game. The players take up MUCH less of the screen than what you see in movies and such. There, the detail is very welcome to discern, and beyond 1080p might be good.
I don't watch sports, so I really don't care, but I do acknowledge that it's a different style of framing where high-res is useful, as opposed to typical TV/movie framing.
In Washington, the US state department said it had seen the reports of the two men's sentences and had raised the issue with the Kuwaiti government, which it urged to respect freedom of speech.
"We call on the government of Kuwait to adhere to its tradition of respect for freedom of assembly, association, and expression," spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. "You know how strongly we feel about locking people up for their use of Twitter."
Yeah, how many Americans have been locked up or are now labeled terrorists for saying dumb things on the internet?
This is a problem with more than Barium. Tons of nutritionally beneficial trace minerals and other such things are all being flushed into the oceans via sewage treatment & disposal, as our stool doesn't return to local soil.
Most of the people in 3rd world countries are being oppressed by their governments. Tyrannical dictators actively preying on their subjects, and the inability to have proper ownership, enforceable contracts, and markets. These people know how to get food and water off their land well enough, if they are allowed to. Helping them out with rampant diseases like malaria is going to do a whole lot more tangible good for them than trying to give them more "information" while their countries are still in shambles from the top.
That's a useless assumption when dealing with dynamically loaded/dispatched code, or editing library code that will be pulled in by multiple projects. Logging always shows what's actually in use during a run.
Besides, if you break the static call graph, the compiler will complain anyway. No need to graph.
If they're smart enough to figure out how to pry through complex systems and look at daddy's files, exposure to what they see will have a self-determining effect on them. Either they'll be scared of what they saw in the "grown-up movies" and will leave it alone (and you can talk it out with him), or the kid will find something he likes and expand his horizons a bit.
You don't say how old he is, but I generally believe that you've got to let curiosity run its course for everyday sorts of things like this.
The conclusion is to bring it up with your boss (or the team lead) and let them deal with it, deferring to their authority. Show how it's affecting productivity.
Shutting up is a dumb option. Odds are, those with authority over the problem worker are unaware of the issue. If they are aware of it, then by talking to them at least everybody knows where everybody else stands, which defuses a lot of tensions.
Any new connection standard that's limited to the paltry "full HD" resolution should be aborted before it sees the light of day. It's okay for movies, but not for computing displays.
Buying in pairs is a bad idea. Chances are high that you'll end up with two drives from the same manufacturing run. If there's some issue with them that leads to very short life span, both drives are very likely to experience the same problem. It's best to purchase more sporadically.

So the headline should really be "Pakistani shop keepers refuse to stock latest crappy Codblops game".
There. That's a lot more fun to say.

what was the form factor precedent for an original Mac?
You never heard of the quite popular Commodore PET?
Are you sure you don't you mean "Two robed guys walking in front of a green screen, discussing politics for 80% of the time" again?

If they do crank these out, 4K computer monitors should come down in price. I don't care what happens to the TV market as long as that happens.

This is especially true as people move to mobile devices as their primary computing interface. And you thought your crappy cable/DSL internet was bad.

Delete whatever you want behind a well-defined API barrier, as long as it still does the job when you're done.
Delete entire unused and obsolete APIs where appropriate.
Individual function bodies count as APIs, as well as large modules.
You've got it backwards. LHC saved us from the 2012 disaster. Its difficult and secretive mission now accomplished, it's taking a much-needed rest.

The processor, and officially supported Ubuntu. Have you even read TFS?
That's an Allwinner A10, thus a single-core Cortex A8, not a dual A9. The A10 is in everything that's curiously cheap.

Odds are that the NSA is already "watching" you. They're just not paying attention to the collected data until you spark their interest.
