Computers and AI do automate jobs, with worldwide impact. That tends to accelerate the revenue "production", earned by fewer people / entities. 30 years ago the job automation was already predicted - this was regarded as a good omen: people would have had to work less thanks to automation, and earn the same.
However automation proved over time that it's also a good way for the company to earn the same (more or less depending on fields of work) with fewer people. Human beings have the natural tendency to expect philanthropy when it comes to an ideal future. Reality is different, and people are looking out for their own interests, naturally.
Society needs rules (laws) to balance people interests and freedom, this is the only way most of the people might get a fair share of the cake. Unfortunately, not only governments didn't anticipate, decades ago, the necessary societal changes due to computers and automation, but the current growing inequalities and losses of jobs are not addressed the way it should, i.e. adapt our laws to conform to the changes we see in technologies.
What's amazing is the number of people who, nowadays, and even in IT, don't understand that. AI has always been the Holy Grail. The difference is that, now, we are much closer to reach it than 20 years ago.
I wonder how the increasing lack of privacy may psychologically impact indirectly the death rate, and more specifically the suicide rate. The amazing revelations from Snowden, the recording of whatever / whenever, the increasing ability to flag any light wrongdoing, or being reachable at any time and place are all factors that add their small amount of permanent stress.
Uh no. Precisely the point of my post: 1) Uber will be part of the self-driving business, 2) Uber diversification 3) you should really use a handle and stop posting as AC, that'll improve your life in a way you don't comprehend
Uber interested in self-driving cars, Uber makes partnerships with Toyota, and here and there... Regardless what one may think about Uber, they're definitely a very dynamic company with a promising future.
Not sure, but after purchasing a new macbook pro last year and feeling being ripped off big time, suicide may sound like an option. That may explain the suicide rate.
730 vs 723 is not even 1%. The thing is, thanks to medical progresses mainly (and food supply...) life expectancy tended to get longer, i.e. a whole generation (seniors) who would have died earlier otherwise, is given a few years more. But everyone dies eventually, and we are maybe just witnessing the "older generation who was the first to benefit from those progresses" starting to die.
20 threads is the number of threads handled by the CPU itself, quite a lot! The OS handles its own threads and processes (which are in the hundreds/thousands usually).
The idea is the guy assumes that no path will have a longer length than MAX_PATH. So for already compiled programs (before win10 option) the guy may `strcpy` into `path` any path given by the system with no much care. This would be indeed buffer overflow. But MAX_PATH may be given a much larger value by default in the new win10, in this case stack overflow... (and likely a warning by the compiler).

But when you see a commercial on TV about product XX you've never heard of, you don't wonder "why are they talking about XX", right?
Or act like a grownup and stop playing games.
That makes almost as much as us telling you to grow up and stop masturbating.
Who are you to judge what we should do with our free time?

How is it that from such a huge number that these are the best people you could come up with???
What? These are the people who are the most talented to become president. Having the most competent people to be president is another story.
Ageing population was already corrected for.
Ok, but ageing population death rate grew relatively more than the others, these are the raw figures.

more offensive photos being reported by AI algorithms than by people
So it seems the AI algo does better than humans at identifying "offensive" photos.
Oh that's why the CPU has an integrated floppy, that makes sense!
20 threads is the number of threads handled by the CPU itself, quite a lot! The OS handles its own threads and processes (which are in the hundreds/thousands usually).
Indeed, some places are messier than others. The "registry" is a big awful mess.
Undefined behavior, indeed.
The idea is the guy assumes that no path will have a longer length than MAX_PATH. So for already compiled programs (before win10 option) the guy may `strcpy` into `path` any path given by the system with no much care. This would be indeed buffer overflow. But MAX_PATH may be given a much larger value by default in the new win10, in this case stack overflow... (and likely a warning by the compiler).
Because as stated in another thread, MS/W devs do `char path[MAX_PATH];` So if MS removes the limit most programs will stack overflow.
But no thanks ; not using OSes that have registries.
Agreed, unless you want more memory/disk.
