  1. Re:No & Yes on Can a Robot Learn a Language the Way a Child Does? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    There is. It's hard to control the way a brain works, to teach it new things optimally, and it has many limits, and can hardly be acutely controlled from the inside. A human made algorithm on the other hand, once created, should be optimizable in a much easier way.

    that machine needs to be able to experience the sensation of something like PEEING

    Actually, a machine without sensors / feelings might a lot during the learning process, and your comment makes sense. However not sure "peeing" is the most important feeling in that process.

  3. No & Yes on Can a Robot Learn a Language the Way a Child Does? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Not currently, because no human was smart enough to find the right algorithm. Yes, when Google or the Chinese make the algorithm. One difference though: it'll learn much faster than a human child.

    If you RTFS to the end, you'll see that the problem was actually the clock. Not sure why the clock needs air exposure though.

    Bad news for the Japanese

    Wrong. Joke or not, the Japanese text follows the same lines as the English text, except all "characters" are turned 90 degrees clockwise. Thus they turn the book 90 deg CW to read the text (from right to left, top to bottom).

    Helium detector.

  8. obviously, and this is why Apple is worried (otherwise, not sure they would give a damn).

  9. Reading the title, my first thought was "fix the issue.. sure!". But it's actually not unlikely that Bing, being much less involved in Chrome than Google..., might render search results not in a way the user expects. Morale of the story: don't always click the first result - or at least check it!

    You mean everyone, mostly.

  14. eventually Xiaomi will bury Apple in terms of sales

    Don't think so, at least not in the short/middle term. iPhones and Androids are not considered to be in the same league, and most iPhone users will then upgrade to a newer iPhone, not switch to Android. Xiaomi could eventually bury other Android phones makers, though.

  15. Dubai... a place with no iceberg...

  16. The algorithm is probably quickly calculating a tree of possibilities and taking the min(sum(damages)). Would the damages be more affecting the passengers, as long as overall there are less damages than hurting the pedestrians, the algo should take that path.

    No. Next question, please.

    Uh... actually Yes it does and TFS says that with no doubt. Why is the story title a question is more the question.

  19. Better yet, go to Provence in France, and walk through the lavender fields.

  20. 2 stories talking about Intel, instead of 0. Result: +cancel -cancel 10nm = 0, +ad +ad = 2.

    Did he just say "MD5"? I thought we're only at 36 years...

    md5 is not so good, but not that bad.

  24. I had high blood pressure ( ... ) I also significantly reduced my calorie intake by cutting junkfood mostly

    High blood pressure is really hard to lower (especially for older people, which, given your id, is, hum, likely to be the case). Junk food was probably the worse factor here.

  25. You should replace that broken mirror.
