We've all hit the wall with our current deep learning approaches and we're hoping one of you other guys can figure out how to bail us out.
How right you are. Par for the course for the AI effort - they spectacularly solve the easy problems, they get carried away, promise heaven and earth - and then they get stuck for years on the not-so-easy ones.
Nice finding, but not the big thing that NASA had been hinting at. They seem to do such thing distressingly often. Soon, nobody will take their press releases seriously - you can only cry wolf so many times.
She is a perfect example of an individual who owes everything to timing - she happened to be at the right place, at the right time. She is pretty useless.
No, really, who is in Facebook? I created a Facebook account a few years ago, so I could use as a convenient way to access sites that require you register. I never ever log into my Facebook account directly; in fact, I have no clue about what it contains, if anything. The kicker is, most people in my professional and social circles seem to be using their Facebook accounts in a similar fashion. More damning, their kids seem to feel embarrassed about the possibility of having to use Facebook. Leaving aside the obvious bias in my personal experience, who is using Facebook actively, in the sense that they log into their accounts and regularly post stuff there?
They are losing subscribers, so they have to charge more. This is an exponential process, which will keep going slowly for a while. However, if left untouched, at some point it will start growing explosively, as the higher and higher fees will compel more and more subscribers to cut the cord. Pay TV as we know it has its days numbered.
It is about time that you guys fix (among other things) the Google Play Store app auto-update feature, which has a way to work erratically, if at all, in many Android devices. Only searches reveal that Google engineers do not seem to understand what is going, always resorting to voodoo suggestions: clean this cache, and see if that solves the problem. If not, do this, that and the other. If still no cigar, do a hard reset of the device. Excuse me?!? A hard reset because you people do not know what is going with your app? Even worse, the hard reset is not guaranteed to solve the problem.
This technology can be used to read truly interesting documents, like e.g. charred scrolls in Pompey. This document in particular, as it turns out to be the case, is of relatively low interest.
Just when smartphones at that price are popping up. For a market expected to be dead and buried in three years time. Consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.
Indeed. If the company that you work for is a small one, and it is acquired by a large one, you will have reason to celebrate only if you have a significant stake in the small company. Otherwise, you are pretty much screwed. As somebody who is likely to be in that situation in a couple of years time, chances are that, if and when that happens, I will be laid off in short order, but with a nice payoff that might allow me to retire with dignity, if not with opulence.
I have tried RemixOS. For simple chores (read email, surf the net, watching videos) I prefer it over the desktop offerings that Red Hat and Ubuntu are pushing. For serious work, I prefer far simpler desktops, like XFCE and LXDE. Gnome, KDE and Unity are trying to be everything for everybody, and the only thing that they are achieving is to alienate almost everybody. It is, in this light, that I am happy that Linux on the desktop is going nowhere - if the atrocities that these guys are pushing were the only choice in the desktop for Linux, and the *BSDs did not exist, I'd move to the Apple offerings.
Who says I do? All other things being equal, I never trust any company when it claims that its junk is much better than the competitor's.
This is about a particularly despicable company, not about another not yet quite as particularly despicable.
A test specified, run and controlled by a party with a huge vested interested. And one that has been convicted for criminal behavior twice. Yep, that inspires confidence.

Microsoft garbage in our phones. Following a time-honored tradition, consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.
Say it ain't so!
Slackware user here.
Probably one of the worst CEOs ever, down there with Stephen Elop.
After all, Microsoft needs to develop some intelligence.

PCs can and do last a long, long time. In my case, I have an old 486 from Compaq, '94 vintage, still up and running in my basement.
And, after this, I sure as hell won't be opening one any time soon.
That's what Microsoft always does: buy a company, and destroy it.
Nice finding, but not the big thing that NASA had been hinting at. They seem to do such thing distressingly often. Soon, nobody will take their press releases seriously - you can only cry wolf so many times.
At least it will be quiet.
Coming very late to the party, and probably with nothing but a run-of-the-mill offering. Is Yahoo still relevant?

For that money you can get a decent Android tablet or a Linux laptop. This device ought to be compared with those, not with a Raspberry Pi.

Silicon Valley went along for the ride. The person responsible for the whole thing is Ms. Holmes, who is nothing but a scammer.

Trust Microsoft at your own peril - the road is littered with corpses of organizations that trusted Microsoft at some point.
Explain also why you trust Google.
