It's not impossible to both help your kids when they need it and raise them to have a sense of self-worth and independence. These things are not mutually exclusive.
Yes and in the mean time you are spending your time on useless endeavors instead of spending time with your kids growing up. I am one of those working on a side business. It works for me, but only just, and I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. It becomes very difficult to balance family life.
My point is that it is difficult to start a company (and therefore be an owner) and make more money then you could make as a worker. It is not nearly as easy as stated here. For everyone who starts a side company and succeeds, there are 100 that fail, and so it is not simply as easy as telling someone to own their company.
But then every one's market should consist of the (entire world), not just the technology market. What technology companies have done is the equivalent of complaining that they don't want to shop in any of the stores available to them, so they want the stores to give them prices from over seas. None of us have that flexibility. Therefore it is putting me at odds with my own economy.
I pay a monthly bill because I would be paying most of it to have an internet connection on its own anyway, so I might as well pay the extra $10 for basic cable or whatever.
Can someone explain what AlphaGo is accomplishing by beating people over and over? I thought it was ascertained a month ago that it could calculate Go deeper than a human. How are they demonstrating that there is any learning going on at all at this point?
Clearly you missed the article yesterday about how the Uber cars are doing so bad in Philidelphia they are causing accidents, and the article about hoe Google has to take manual control of their cars all the time. They are nowhere close to mainstream use.
I guess I don't understand what a company like Air BnB would want with specialists like that. I thought it would be up to the house owners to figure out what the demographics are.
They seem to be under the impression that a successful business only takes an app. Obviously they also found many investors who thought the same thing. Now they are finding out there is more to it than just having an app.
Because when I take my watch off, I look at my bear wrist for the time all time time. That gets annoying, so I put on a watch! A watch is always on my body, a phone isn't.
Yes but when I see a solution to how you keep this massive GPS map accurate in real time with all municipalities reporting in not just in the same month that they make changes to a sign, but at the same minute; then that will be something. Right now there is nothing.
Let an older version play a newer version for thousands of games, and count the wins.
That doesn't work, because it would be the difference in programming between versions is not 'learning'. What would be better is to take two of the same version, let one 'learn' by playing many games, and them play it against the fresh instance. IF the experienced one is now much better than the fresh out of the box one, then it is learning.
It's not made to learn other things, so it won't. I will never learn to play an instrument well, because I wasn't made for that.
If it is not made to learn other things then it is not expressing an important component of intelligence. I wouldn't expect it to learn things that it is not equipped for, for example if there is no camera then I wouldn't expect it to know what 'red' is. But it should be able to learn checkers and chess by observing checkers and chess games, once someone tells it how the pieces look and what the rules are.
Why do you think a computer couldn't use a camera to answer a classic artificial intelligence test? I know there are issues with them due to cultural differences, but if it can analyze an image of paper then if it is intelligent it should be able to answer the test if it is true AI.

Well GAWSH, start a million dollar company, why didn't I think of that?? That's one of those things that is easy to say but almost impossible to do.
Slavery is the new working 9-to-5-with-healthcare-and-defined-retirement-benefits!
Clearly they didn't get invested enough into selling clouds.
The question in my mind is who the less-than-perfect apples go to. Someone has to get them. Will they complain? Will they have to be discarded?

But how can society survive without their shiny shiny?
Ok but what real life application does this have?
Yes but computers are getting faster, so at some point they were going to be fast and powerful enough to be good at Go.

What is 'data science' ?

Every marxist regime in history has been more entitled than their citizens.
And no self driving car has ever worked properly, what's your point?
You're only a sucker if there is a regime that feels like they are more entitled than you are, which isn't Marxism.

Under capitalism, everyone who works for someone else is a sucker..
I think coding is fun, but because I do it for myself. I can't say it would still be fun if I was working on someone else's application.
