Apple wants you to do anything that they can call 'your fault' and sends you to the Apple store for more expensive parts replacements and/or a new laptop. After having the bottom half of my laptop I am literally having to vacuum the keyboard daily for fear a will get a speck of dust in it that might destroy it.
You size your bags to a millimeter threshold? What bag maker does that? I hate when people say first world problems, but talk about a first world problem. What kind of snowflake are you?
If they are going with smaller bezels, it would be nice if they reduced the touch sensitivity of the outer 50 pixels or so. A semi-circle on the edge that is 10 pixels deep and 20 pixels high should NOT register as a touch.
Skype handles file transfers better than Discord. In Skype you can just drag and drop the file, but in Discord, it opens a browser and downloads it that way. Brutal. Otherwise, Discord works.
I doubt the establishment cares. They can use Facebook to sway the opinions of people, or they can use censorship to sway the opinions of people. Either affect is the same, because the people are too stupid to know whether it is happening either way. All the trustworthy media outlets that are going bankrupt because people find them too boring and slow to justify the expense of actually being reliable, are really the only defender of the people.
Except you can't hand a non-developer a database file and expect them to know what to do with it. The point is to provide a report for non-technical users.
How is Linux with battery capacity now? Windows (and I'm sure ChromeOS) users always used to have to take a huge hit to install Linux. The battery usage was so bad that I actually feared for the long term health of the battery.
I can understand using it in a school, because all the basics are there. But your company must not have very heavy requirements for spreadsheets. Recently I had an occasion to take hundreds of files from hundreds of servers and transition them into a hundreds of columns spreadsheet. The thought of doing something like that with Google Docs (aside from the fact that it was all confidential data) makes my head hurt.
I've never found a distro of Linux that didn't cut the battery time to 1/3 on any laptop or netbook. That seemed to be a sticking point for many users. Don't know what the situation is now, this was back when my Asus Eee's still worked.
All we can do is move from point A to point B across the surface of the planet
Airplanes are largely free of obstacles and we can't operate them without air traffic controllers and a mountain of regulations and safety checks; what makes you think we can drive cars through thousands of constantly moving obstacles a day?
Driving will never be 'full AI'. For one thing, people like control too much. For another thing, there will be too many edge cases, like AI not wanting to drive on long windy grass or snow covered driveway this forcing you to carry everything from it.
Except this is what is being reported by actual real people. You may wish to listen to what the robots say, but I still respect the testimony of human beings.
Completely agreed, but there is the rub... how do they accomplish that when a simple audit of their code would determine that they are not following the law? Therein lies a huge problem with self driving.
Correct. Humans know the kind of ill logic that is in the other human's head. A robot car gets something in its sensor, which is then put through a neural network which has a loose approximation of a result from the videos, and then passes through several magnetos and gets a result that ends up entirely inhuman.
Have you ever actually driven in real winter conditions, with snow plows in the road that don't scrape the road 'smooth' because they don't want to destroy their blades every kilometer?
Yup, fuzzy logic. My impression is that there is a rule that provides 95% of the decision and the 'neural network' buffers the other 5%. AI is nowhere near thinking like a human.
If a hundred humans wouldn't have slammed on the breaks in the same situation, then it is safe to say that the reason the robot car is doing it for is not valid.

No, LibreOffice is fine for my case, but we were talking about Google Docs, not LibreOffice.

(From the perspective of a computer which must interpret every single thing coming at it)
Exactly, very little comparison. Flying is much, much easier.
Uh, lawyers understand the legal system?

Oh brother, yes people are idiots. It's a wonder we get rockets into the air, or perform successful surgeries.

Again.. it depends on what 100 humans would do in the same situation. You can't say humans would have done the same thing without testing it.

Uh, that's what it says in the article.
Machines are not humans and never will be.
Then they will never reduce accidents, or reduce driving safety, and we should act as if they are a novelty not as if they are a savior.
Correct. Humans know the kind of ill logic that is in the other human's head.
