If it's like all the other top tier video cards' histories it will still be playing new games at high levels in two years, and at mid to low levels for at least eight years. You don't get to call it obsolete until it's just not worth using anymore for its original purpose. I'm not saying it's worth $700 a pop, but it won't be obsolete in one or two (or three or four) years.
like pretty much every delivery person and warehouse worker in the country?
Their job description also includes knowing what to pick up with minimal instructions and an extremely low error rate, as well as where to take it and when and how to drop it off, the ability to work for up to 12 hours repeatedly and reliably, independence from wall power, and the ability to deviate from this routine where and when required in reasonable ways.
Nature wrote a solid article on the dangers. IMO it's going to lead to some seriously damaged humans before it's closer to perfected. But IMO it will be improved until it's in common use, unless a different technique comes along. In the mean time there's little point to banning it.
Governments that fight markets never win. If Europe and the US ban this technology that just means progress will continue in otherplaces. And there are other reasons than eliminating disease. I could argue the ethics, but that's not the point. Like it or not people are going to do it. We live in the last fully nature-made generation.
Sure we need some new bridges, and there are probably a thousand or so that actually need to be replaced. But our infrastructure is deficient in many more important ways. I just hope money needed for less sexy projects doesn't go to bridges. Her e are some of the things we need more than bridges:
Municipal water supplies. Flint wasn't just a case of local mismanagement, it was just the most visible. Local election reform is needed, but more importantly there are thousands of towns with aging, blocked-up pipes and waterworks. They don't get fixed until someone's house burns down because there wasn't enough mains pressure for the hydrant. Sewage overflows that cost millions to fix, inappropriate water savings programs, and high water taxes for businesses are just three of the symptoms of an aging water supply.
Research on longer-lasting roads. If we spend a billion on this now we'll save a billion per year from now on.
Better isolation and more intelligent routing for the high voltage mesh electrical network. We've spent a good deal on this, but shortcuts have been made. Sagging lines can cascade into regional failure. The most effective and least sexy way to deal with it is building more electrical transit capacity for cities that need it. A few places could definitely use municipal and larger power storage via hydroelectric, batteries, or whatever's clever.
And while we're talking about electricity it's time to reform municipal power to encourage user level solar power. Switch pricing to grid plus/minus usage with an instant rebate for the poor. I know that's not something the federal government regulates, but a study that strongly proves the economics should encourage local adoption of the plan. If it doesn't add in some bullshit grant to encourage it. After it's been working well and obviously saving money for a few dozen cities phase out the grants.
Nuclear power, and use the united house, congress, and prez to tell the NIMBY's to stuff it. Sell it politically by pointing out the fact that coal jobs are never coming back and jobs jobs jobs.
The hotter something is relative to its environment the faster the heat moves away. I hope this science can be used to make mainstream desktop chips that can safely operate at much higher temperatures for quieter cooling and better performance.
You're not talking about a people shortage, you're talking about a training shortage. When every company hires only the top few percent and expects people on the job market to train themselves whilst unemployed that's what happens. It's just an extension of the low wage problem. If you don't pay enough for people (whether by refusing to train them, offering a low salary, cutting back benefits, or whatever else) you don't get good people. Of all the people on the CS job market a fraction has the drive and income to train themselves while not employed. If you want that top 10% of the labor market you should expect to pay through the nose for it.
Let's take a number the government has always loved to manipulate: unemployment. It's supposed to be between 5 and 6% right now, but we all know it's much higher. So obviously they're lying. But! They still tell the truth. While they feed the press easy-to-digest lies, they're publishing real numbers for underemployed, part time but want more, and so forth. So even if the cake is a lie they're giving you all the ingredients you need to make your own delicious cake of truth. Take the numbers they publish and choose on your own which ones tell the real story. THOSE numbers don't lie.
How can I make my chocolate not come out grainy? What temperature do I need and how quickly should I cool it? How can I, with basic home kitchenware, not get it too hot whilst melting it fast enough not to dry out?
3...2...1...At this point all the Wu critics have voiced in, and the story has been up a little while. It's time for the Wu supporters to make the top comment something about how Wu is a powerful womyn who deserves to be in congress because of her social insight and experience running a gaming company.
They're constantly graded on every aspect of their performance, tightly micromanaged, and working in an extremely competitive environment. What I'm hearing is the business is designed to extract every possible erg of work from its employees and then spit them out when they're burnt out and no longer competitive. I would only work there if they paid enough to retire after five years.
The Luddites really got started in the early 1800's. The full impact of the benefits of mechanization didn't happen for 80 more years. That means a whole lot of Luddites starved to death. A social safety network would have enormously smoothed the transition and prevented untold human suffering. And one more thing; AI is unprecedented in the history of automation. "new jobs have always been created" is not a reason to believe "new jobs will always be created."
I dispute that. "makework" means to literally create work for no purpose, whereas your proposals would all benefit society. The TSA is make-work. Actually helping one's community is just work.
When I was a child I read about a children's cartoon, Scrooge McDuck, who had an automated home. The doors would open ahead of you, the kitchen would prepare your food, it had a traditional style barber, (but automated of course) a tailor that would take your measurements, and many other pleasant robotic friends.That has always been my vision of an automated home. Don't get me wrong, I know we're 30 years from that being possible. And I'm not complaining about these "home automation" apps. If you're into that sort of thing at an immense cost to privacy so be it. I just don't like things without physical automation being called "automated". Let's save the term "home automation" for when actual physical automation is in the home doing things for people.
Russia steps in and ends the Syrian conflict just to piss USA off.
Not wrong, but not right either. The US fucked up plenty in Syria. Russia just opportunistically threw a wrench into the works. The complexity of that war puts it far beyond your implication that anyone could unilaterally make a decision to end it.
Russia runs rings around the U.S. by performing cyberwar on national elections and demonstrates to the world that the U.S. system of democracy is a fraud.
It wasn't cyberwar, it was leaked information. It wasn't Russia. And US democracy isn't as fraudulent as you imply. The primaries dice are loaded but everyone with a brain already knew that.
Russia continues to launch more space payloads than any other nation.
What's your point?
China owns the majority of U.S. debt, hence the U.S. economy.
Not anymore. But more to the point, owning the most does not mean owning most of, nor does it imply or give ownership or control of the economy. It means the power to cause a recession. Wow.
China can, not only easily find but also, pluck U.S. military technology from a very large ocean as a demonstration of technical superiority that should not be ignored.
I regret to inform you that being able to use a crane to pull up a sleeping submersible drone is not a demonstration of technological superiority.
The only point you have right is that Russia is currently sending up more material than any other government. Your entire argument is impressively wrong.
You know, you're not going to convince anyone by running dozens of slanted articles. Why not present the whole (weak) case including all the evidence and let readers decide for themselves? Or have you learned nothing from losing the election?
There's still a long way to go. There are myriad tasks truckers take care of besides driving the truck. Small repairs, paperwork at both ends, balancing and certifying weight, changing the route when necessary, refueling, loading and unloading, security, and not least important, monitoring trucks on the road for problems. If an automated long-haul truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere that's going to be an expensive fix.
I'm predicting no more than an initial 30% loss once the driving is fully automated.(because teams will be cut down to one driver) And a lot of truckers own their own trucks, meaning they do all the work involved in subcontracting the loads.
In my opinion that's a serious mistake. You can reduce manpower without consequence right up until you're in combat. At that point you didn't have enough sailors to check the radar cables, or you didn't send someone to organize the fire locker, or you didn't have an extra pair of eyeballs on lookout, or you're going in to combat with guys that just worked a double shift and that's BEFORE the fur starts to fly. Do your sailors go to an extra firefighting team or to the radar screens? Do they help the loaders or repair a loose line? Do you have an extra electrician if there's a failure in a gun that you haven't fired in the past year? Has someone had the time to learn how to unstick the lifeboats? How many sailors can you lose to a fire and still fight?
If you're short on manpower in combat, you're short on capability.
In the real world if a woman gives you enough positive nonverbal cues you go in for a kiss or make a pass. they "let you" (if you had seen the full Trump quote) do it. It's not sexual battery, it's normal human sexuality. Asking at every turn would turn off most women because it shows a lack of confidence. The world where overt verbal consent is given at every step does not exist. Fucking deal with it.

I don't even publish in closed journals. Use it, say you invented it, add to it, lie about it. Information wants to be free.

My 2 cents.
I don't know about recent editions, but Playboy used to have some of the best writing out there. Seriously.

Not that meat is bad but the food pyramid you're referring to is decades out of date.

If you want that top 10% of the labor market you should expect to pay through the nose for it.
Don't worry, by removing red tape, excessive regulation, and barriers to business Trump will let the free market solve this problem.
