When Rolling Stone publishes a rape account without diligently investigating and verifying the facts as reported, the magazine and the author get sued by the associate dean, the fraternity, and the frat members involved. So consequences are a thing. What's your point?
If you went to/r/altright as an admitted liberal, they would ban you ASAP. And reddit admins were OK with that, and I'm very begrudgingly ok with that too. But the point is they had no interest in engaging in discussion with anyone who disagreed.
More accurately, it's witch-hunting. If they come up with some "evidence" and it leads to the wrong person, the angry mob could ruin an innocent person's life. And even if they found the right person, it risks vigilante justice instead of Due Process.
Even in imperial tons, 4000 pounds = about 1800kg. If they were 400kg, you could only make four and a half medals. That's a pretty big math-fail ya got there.
It isn't "silver-based" it's silver-baring. For reflow solder, in terms of lead-free solutions, the most common these days is Tin-silver-copper. The most common alloy is only 3% silver. Some alloys are as low as 0.3%. The amount of silver in a cell phone is on the order of a couple micro-grams at best. The same is true for gold; since it's electroplated only a couple atoms thick. There are tons of websites and YouTube vids about reclaiming precious metals from electronics, and absolutely no one in their right mind uses cell phones because they just leave you with a mess of ground plastic and silica and noxious chemicals and nothing to show for it.
The players were making comments that they were trying to change up their playstyle based on the AI, but it would change too. Revising algorithms at the end of each night. 120,000 hands is a pretty decent amount of time to build up experience; but they said libratus just kept getting better.
And you'd be thinking wrong. Other forms of poker may follow that model, but people have crunched the numbers on holdem decades ago. It's different. That's why it's a multi-billion dollar industry. Even taking away tells and just going by bets, as in online poker, it still has that dynamic.
RTFA; it did not use a camera to read tells. This was more like a game of online poker. Yes, it dynamically calculated outcomes, and used outcomes of previous hands to predict player behavior, and adjust it's decisions accordingly.
The machine isn't allowed to read players' outward signs either, so it is balanced. And statistics don't take players' dynamic heuristics into account. Guessing a players' hole cards based on their behavior, particularly when they can regularly change up their tactics, that's extremely difficult stuff. Playing in a manner that allows money to be won in a timely manner, as opposed to a zero-sum game, that's even more difficult.
For future reference, people asking "why does this matter?" or "why should anyone give a damn?" on slashdot is trollbait. You'll find at least one comment asking this in nearly every post.
If AI and sentience were one and the same, we wouldn't call it AI, we'd call it AS. Besides, sentience is a philosophical concept. The definition of which is the ability to have "subjective perceptual experiences". And going by that definition, one can argue that such a learning algorithm is indeed sentient. AI research does not particularly use the word "sentience" because it is such an abstract concept that it doesn't really add to the field of study. "Intelligence" just means that a thing learns, and potentially modifies it's behavior based on previous experiences; and that's unarguably exactly what this does.
Thanks. So far, this is the only comment that mentions this. A "transparent LCD" having anything to do with the focus of a lens made zero sense to me. The term LCD is also nowhere to be found in either article linked. It's not even some cool liquid-crystal effect; they're just stretching a bag of goo (glycerin) with little actuators to change the shape; vaguely mimicking the mechanism of the lens on the human eye. If you ask me, they should go further and make it a composite elastomere; like clear polyurethane rubber with fiberglass or plastic fiber reinforcement to direct how the lens deforms. I bet they went with a glycerin-filled bag because smaller actuators didn't have the strength needed to deform solid rubber properly.
That's not what T-Mobile's Binge-on (or Music Freedom) is/was about. It was about users being able to go into a mode indicating they wanted to receive compressed video at lower resolutions in exchange for not having it apply to their cap, (or in some cases, using their allotment less quickly). The "deals" made with content providers were contractual agreements, available to every content provider, even the tiniest of startups, at no cost. The agreement with the providers was either 1: do nothing, and if we notice you streaming HD video to a binge-on user, we'll try to compress/reduce it; but user still pays normal data rates. 2: work with us so we can know when data you serve up is streaming video, then we'll compress/reduce it when sending it to Binge-on users, and user gets free bandwidth. 3: Compress/reduce the video yourself, work with us so we can know when you're sending compressed video to binge-on users, and promise that you'll only send decent quality compressed video with binge-on users; and user gets free bandwidth 4: let us know you're opting out and that we shouldn't try to compress your data, regardless of the user requesting video being compressed by nature of being in binge-on mode.
Arguably, there are problems with this offer, but it's far from the preferential-treatment anti-competitive deals that really get people up in arms about net-neutrality.
Even if your description was accurate, your analogy is still inapt. The licensing agreements between content owners like Disney and content providers like Netflix are a completely different realm to the interactions between content providers and common-carriers. You can license your intellectual property pretty much however you like. A common-carrier must provide service without discrimination for "public convenience and necessity". And that concept goes all the way back to British Common Law.
It is NOT just you. WHY is no one mentioning this? I know Slashdot always jokes about not RTFA, but this just bizarre. Here's the correct link: https://qz.com/884450/which-co...
That's not what exponential growth means. Exponential growth means that the variable is within the exponent; not that the function contains an exponent. Exponential and linear growth are two completely different things.
Further, it's not uncommon for Japanese people when being photographed while making the gesture to also say the Japanified version of the English word "Victory" (sounding sort of like "Wikutorii"), similar to how Americans say "cheese", causing a smiling face.
"Previous estimates ranged within 100 million years, all the way out to 200 million years after the solar system's creation, not quite 4.6 billion years ago." is misleading. It sounds like before this research we had no clue. Scientific consensus has been that it's roughly 4.5 billion years old for decades now. As a lazy check, the Wikipedia article on the moon has stated the 4.5 billion figure based on a source from NASA since September 2002, and likely wasn't in there previously because Wikipedia was pretty new at that point. This research dials in the precision and provides independent confirmation.
Yeah, the remastered version is really nicely done. I picked it up as soon as I heard about it. I was surprised how much of the game I'd forgotten. Since I was short on time, I cracked and went to cheat guides pretty shortly after starting so I could blaze through it.
This is a good question, so I'm gonna reply even though this is days old: In 1997 when the Special Edition was made, editing was still mostly done by analog processes; physical cutting apart film and putting it back together. The technology to make a digital copy and manipulate that entirely existed, but Lucas chose not to use it. This wasn't entirely because he was an ass; the digitization process was still very nacent. And if you make an analog copy of the master, to use as your re-release master, then the rerelease ends up looking lower in quality than the original. That said, there are plenty of techniques that can be used to recover the original even if Lucasfilm destroyed theirs. You can take multiple preserved theatrical releases, scan them frame by frame, and perform digital merge operations that after processing, produces something that's so close to perfect that only massive audiophiles and their photography equivalents will have any reason to bitch.

Sounds like we agree; badass. I didn't mean to imply that no one got upset about the thing, just that it's a more subtle net-neutrality violation.
You monster.

Topologically speaking, a printer capable of making skin is a 2D printer, not a 3D printer.

If you can afford this laptop, you can also afford a netbook to use when on a plane. Keep the 12 pound monstrosity in the overhead compartment.
