Doesnt have to be 10 year old crap. Fiery printers made in the last few years blow up if you try to use 1.7u45 or newer, because they enforce certificate signing which Fiery doesnt do. Theyre not the only big vendor with such issues either.
It sounds like YOU have no clue what you're talking about. Classically, multiple JVMs were required for such things as the Cisco PIX / ASA web interface (doesnt work with anything newer than 1.5), HP iLO (likes 1.6 / older), Blackberry Enterprise server (tends to blow up when you attempt an upgrade of the packaged JVM), and Fiery printer interfaces.
You dont have to guess, they came up with their own explaination: Blue-light irradiation injures organisms by stimulating the production of ROS. Many microbial cells are highly sensitive to blue light as a result of the accumulation of photosensitizers such as porphyrins and flavins29. Mammalian retinas can also be severely damaged by ROS produced by blue-light irradiation4, 5. It is probable that the lethal effect of blue light on insects is caused by the production of ROS, because the effective wavelength is species-specific and not always associated with the amount of photon energy delivered.
Really now? You trust a some random moron who's motivation and skills are complete unknowns?
This is called "living in a free society", and you do it every day you encounter strangers on the road, in the supermarket, at work, and so forth. Somehow you manage to get through a week without dying a hundred times.
Pretty sure none of the things you mentioned have anything to do with my post, which was about STRONG AI, that is self-learning / modifying / aware AI.
I'm actually growing convinced that if and when we figure out AI
We'd first need to start by figuring out consciousness, self-awareness, and free will, and then determining whether its even possible to implement them in binary hardware.
Theres a heck of a lot of speculation here by people who I suspect are speaking way beyond their expertise.
I've never heard a news source support any of these....
* pro-choice
During the Dr Gosnell investigation, NPR made a particular effort to present "the other side of the story", bringing people on who indicated that the closure of his clinic would remove one of their few options.
Thats right: During a case where the abortion clinic was literally murdering born infants, NPR felt it necessary to remind us all of the good he may have done.
* needle exchange programs
Heard this morning on NPR, comes up every 6 months or so. Generally a piece on how helpful it is.
* Legalization of marijuana
A number of fairly supportive pieces were done by NPR recently.
I dont think I stated a position on those. I was simply listing classically liberal positions. As an example, Im not particularly "pro-war" (though I think a blanket "anti-war" position would be silly as well).
Of course, the people on slashdot being hyper-partisan, theres an inability to have a discussion on the politics of the media without people inferring all sorts of things.
has a liberal bias (which also indicates you have no idea what "liberal" even means), instead of a corporate one
Would that corporate bias be why, 5 years ago, you couldnt open a magazine or turn on the news without hearing about how evil Google was? And prior to that, Microsoft? And these days, Tesla and their horrendous fires (which may or may not have been caused by a Tesla)?
Corporate bias, are you off your rocker?
You want a liberal bias? Tally up the number of large news organizations in the US who support classically liberal / progressive causes vs conservative ones:
* Same-sex marriage
* Legalization of marijuana
* needle exchange programs
* anti-war sentiments
* pro-choice
I think you will find the ratio is at least 2:1. For real "fun with hidden biases", lets see who responds with "but thats just because theyre the right positions!"
His objection was not to taxation, but to the terming of taxation as if it is the default state and any deviation (ie lower taxes) somehow requires a justification.
It may seem like a trifling complaint, but consider the difference between calling freedom of speech a right and calling it a benefit.
Emulating small parts of a brain is a different problem than emulating consciousness to some small degree.
Its like saying "I've drawn a picture of what a perpetual motion machine might look like, so we're probably only 20-30 years off". Theres a categorical difference between imagining or even modelling the thing, and actually doing it-- and we havent even modelled how consciousness / self awareness work.
The problem with flash media (aside from its insane cost) is that they tend to catastrophically fail unpredictably, especially when improperly dismounted..
weather system aren't digital either yet we can simulate them on a computer.
We simulate them poorly, over very very short periods of time. Any forecast beyond 3-5 days is pure guessing, and even up to that point its a crapshoot.
if we can understand the brain
Its not even been shown that we can, aside from the interesting philosophical questions that raises, but OK...
then we can model it in code
Does not follow. Our brains are analog, and it is possible that an analog brain is required to either understand or model said brain. If that is the case, it would be fully possible that we (having analog brains) can understand our own brain, but that it is impossible to represent in a digital form.
An example of this principle is quantum behavior. People understand it (to a limited extent) but it cannot be fully implemented in code; it requires a quantum element.
Slashdot Mirror
percentage of Chinese who identified as homosexuals were very low because of the illegality and implications of coming out
Forgive me, but arent you, like everyone else in this thread, speculating?
It's an emotional attachment to a position
Oh, well its a good thing Dawkins doesnt have one of those.
Honestly, I dunno anymore
Sounds like you lack the ability to differentiate the gap between "sort of bad" and "terribly oppressive".
Have you ever wanted to know how to ensure that noone wants to have discussion with you? Cause I think you cracked the code.
Autoremove is not a magic bullet, and I have personally seen it nuke things that were in active use (as evidenced by the immediate breakage).
Yes, my VCP training class used vSphere as the host for several vSphere vApps, so that each student could have their own cluster to play with.
It actually makes a lot of sense for testing.

But I guess none of that stuff counts.

Pretty sure it is legal to carry a gun, however. Also, its already illegal to bring a plane down regardless of whether with a gun, rocket, or drone.
No, I support rational risk analysis based on empirical data, rather than hysteria.
Slashdot has spoken: risk management should be performed with no mind whatsoever paid to the likelihood of a risk.
I hope yall have meteor insurance.

How exactly is Apple an industry leader? They dont hold a majority in any of the markets they are in.

People need to realize that strong AI is sci-fi fantasy that has had no meaningful progress since the dawn of computing.

I dont think you know what a fallacy is, both because you misused the term and because you committed one yourself.
