  1. Re: The devil is in the definition on A Big Problem With AI: Even Its Creators Can't Explain How It Works (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Human intellectual history is filled with two very smart people observing the same set of facts and disagreeing with the conclusion.

    Citation needed: one or both may have been a bit dumber than they were given credit for.

  2. Yeah, well... on Sorry America, Your Taxes Aren't High (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Our taxes may not be high, relatively speaking, but what we get in return for them in this country is still a complete fucking joke.

  3. Re: Okay, but someone wrote the algorithm on A Big Problem With AI: Even Its Creators Can't Explain How It Works (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 0
    From the article:

    ...has proved very powerful...

    Indeed; no doubt the fine work another grammatically-ignorant Millennial... were none of you guys readers when you were young??

  4. I'll tell you what's experimental: on A Big Problem With AI: Even Its Creators Can't Explain How It Works (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll tell you what's experimental: msmash's use of "English" - two blatant fuckups in the first goddamn sentence.

  5. Your mind seems to rev at a high rate while cranking out comparatively few 'instructions per clock cycle,' as it were. Just an fyi, less refined carbs and more leafy greens can sometimes aid an ailing brain...

  6. A sentence can be technically correct yet still reveal the writer to be an idiot... sometimes in subtle fashion that other idiots wouldn't necessarily pick up on...

  7. $250/hr is an "outrageous rate" to charge a bank? What are you, 14??

  8. Re: Another way to avoid supplying proper offices on Staples Tries Co-Working Spaces To Court Millennials And Entrepreneurs (pilotonline.com) · · Score: 1

    so it's not an isolating experience.

    And there we have it, folks; millennials' real priorities - fulfilling-emotional "needs" - eventual float to the surface. ;)

  9. Re: We need more H1B's* to fill the gaps on Employers Added Just 98,000 Jobs in March Below Expectations of 180,000 (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Your meaningless jabber would be a little more bearable if it didn't smell like dick...

  10. Re: Not what personal computers are for on Canadian Town Picks Uber For Public Transit (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Spoken truthfully and rationally in the spirit of the late 90's Slashdot (before the statists, the politically correct, the gov't and NGO shills, the CNN/NPR and Fox/Rush sheep, the fundies, the climate deniers, the Microsoft shills and the Apple fanatics)... I'm pretty sure we've lost the battle over "smartphones;" the baseband processor* is proof of that (and on x86/64, we have iME)...

  11. Re: Can't use on Canadian Town Picks Uber For Public Transit (cnet.com) · · Score: 1
    To take advantage of all the potential benefits to transportation and logistics offered by portable GPS devices with wireless connectivity, you've got to use a portable GPS device with wireless connectivity.* I know; go figure.

    *Personally, I can relate; I'm forced to carry one of these around (for a whole slew of reasons) and I'm definitely growing weary of it.

  12. Re: Asian corporate culture... on Security Researcher Says Samsung's Tizen OS Is The Worst Code He's Ever Seen (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    That would certainly explain the "quality" of Microsoft products.

  13. Asian corporate culture... on Security Researcher Says Samsung's Tizen OS Is The Worst Code He's Ever Seen (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Asian corporate culture seems to get in the way of cranking-out good code; I wonder of that's because their management fails to realize that programming is as much an art as a science...

  14. Re: Doesn't Keep Up With ME on Why Intel Insists Rumors Of The Demise Of Moore's Law Are Greatly Exaggerated (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Come on, you can shill better than that; if transistors are allocated for anything other than core functionality, of course you're losing potential performance.

  15. Re: TOTALLY LEGIT on Teenagers Think Google is Cool, Study By Google Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    ... faint whiff of kool-aid and desperation

    That's just the smell of marketing people.

  16. Re: Our parents and grandparents had their handout on Student Loan Debt Has Nearly Tripled (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Indeed. My dad (born in '43) was able to pay for a Harvard master's degree in the 60's by selling hotdogs... and he's made it abundantly clear that he takes full credit (and then some) for the feat. Good fucking luck achieving that today...

  17. Re: cost up, quality down on Student Loan Debt Has Nearly Tripled (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    I don't think the quality of education has deteriorated at all

    If you're "afflicted," you wouldn't.

  18. This? The.

  19. I disagree; embedded (vs expandable) GPU ought to be the difference between this iMac and Mac Pro. However, soldering the CPU and RAM to the motherboard... Apple executives need to be stabbed with a pencil every time they do that.

  20. Re: Frosty on The Mac Pro Is Getting a Major Do-Over (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    reliability is the key factor

    Flexibility and expandability are equally important.

  21. Re: Ban bitcoin on Bitcoin Becomes Legal Payment Option In Japan, Prices Spike (investopedia.com) · · Score: 1

    In that case, then what's the point of using Bitcoin?

    Exactly.

  22. Re:This is unnecessary and stupid on Companies Start Implanting Microchips Into Workers' Bodies (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Note to self: do not implant secure access microchip in dick.

    Not adequate.

    Unless it comes with 80 PCI-E lanes, it doesn't deserve the name.

    You don't understand women very well, do you? If you don't find her clit, it'll annoy her a bit (they're quite used to that); it's if you're able to get her off repeatedly and then you blow her off... omg, are you scorned: the saying is not "Hell hath no fury like a woman frustrated."
