I watched the youtube interview linked above and the gentleman from UPS says that 20M miles was saved NOT just from left turns but their "package" technology. Whereas the summary provided above claims left turns to be the sole reason. What's with the lack of attention ?
He's a Muslim from India. -- His name is a bengali name from India and not a Muslim. Not that being a muslim would have made a difference.
You should not post statements about things where you don't know sh*t.
"ethnic background is from there"
There are tens of thousands of ethnic backgrounds in Asia. I think they should just ask the nationality for foreign nationals. The feds don't have the sophistication and possibly the need to understand the vast ethnic backgrounds in Asia. Classifying a big continent into a "race" is so primitive. As if no research and advancement happened in our understanding of the idea of race.
This is BS. Yes, there have been research papers on approximate computing in HW but none of them can give error bounds for applications. Your errors reported will be only on the inputs you run, anything else and all bets are off.
What the article says is that it is beyond a present day robot's reach to guarantee the same level of cleanliness as a human worker across different conditions. It is not just cost, we don't have the technical ability to make good enough robots that clean as well as humans. No amount of money helps.
I started with Red Hat because I was forced to use that at a start up. Then I tried Mandrake and SUSE for a while before being stuck with the Gentoo bug. The excitement soon vanished and I switched to Ubuntu. Have been there since. There was a tiny blip with that, when I switched to Mint for a while.
I kind of agree to this reasoning. Nintendo wii even now doesn't support a decent cricket game. If you want to sell your console in India, you should necessarily have cricket. That is the game 2 year olds start playing. People are crazy about that in this land.
So a reasonably strong hardware, priced at lets say ~100$, aimed at such a crowd will fetch big money.
How do mobile-phone servers distinguish between a switched off mobile phone and a one that is 'out of reach' of the mobile towers ? I never understood how I get those two different messages. What mechanism is used to differentiate between a switched off phone and a one that is out of reach ?

The datasheet on their website claims 1TOps/s within 0.5W! Any idea how that is being achieved/reported ?

Try doing it with hard facts and logic though. Usually very hard in contrast to you cooking your own experiments.

All right. So my phone goes out of reach if my battery falls off the phone suddenly ?
