You don't get it. Humans can have mercy, can see that this guy in the wrong uniform just was helping a buddy of you etc... AI can't. And won't be able to do that in the near future. They do can recognize uniforms though and faces:)
The biggest difference lies in mercy and for the shorter term, recognition. But on the longer term, mercy, At the end of WW2 germany had mosty kids left. You could shoot them or just threaten them and they would give up. That is something technology won;t be able to do for the foreseeable future.
I tried, honestly, but it's all bullshit. Assumptions. Without caring for reality. We now have robots that can decide to kill. Do we really want those? See what happened when you had drones shoot missiles at people? A lot of weddings got bombed. That is what happens when you take emotion out by relinking b&w video to an 'operator
' that pulls the trigger. Now imagine to take emotion out completely, because that is the direction we are heading. Especially, but not alone, the US. And the all other nations will have to follow. And as of now these systems exist and are being used in the field, as tests. Robots that decide who gets shot. Great fucking idea. Not.
It's the combination of that and the simple fact that when I have allready paid you, I am not going to pirate it. I just bought the right to see it. I gave you money for it, while I could have just downloaded it instead. The combination of first letting me pay, do extra stuff I wouldn't need to do for a torrent etc etc. They got me to pay for a lesser experience. The reason I am still paying is because I find the price very reasonable for what they offer (I do use hola though to also access US-version and UK-version). So why bother with it. I am already a paying customer. Yet netflix really does use your browsers useragent to determine if you can get the stream. I mean, that is not really a security, it's easily spoofed. All in all, these decisions don't compute for me.
The install isn't that interesting, it's what it does that is interesting and that part will not that differ on ubuntu. Wether you apt-get on debian based systems or use pacman or yaourt on arch based systems. It's the fact that I am technical able to simply watch netflix in html5, but they won't let us. So now we need multilib support for netflix. I agree, it works, but it still is a hack and a pretty dirty one. (no offence to the coders of pipelight btw, they did an excellent job nonetheless.)
You actually have a good point there. I forgot all about netflix own productions. Some of which are hot and good. I can imagine they want netflix to be the only way to get to those series.
Yeah its idiotic, but probably a demand from the contentprovidors. But indeed... I am a paying member of netflix... If I would have wanted to rip your stuf, I would have gone straight to the pirate bay or usenet or whatever is the fastest source of new material at the moment.
It's horrid to install. These days you have to use a custom compiled version from wine with pipelight. Enable 32bit support. Install agent-changer for your browser because netflix will refuse to play when seeing you're on linux. It's idiotic. I've already paid for netflix I'm not the guy who is going to rip the streams. I would have used the pirate bay for that and just get the avi or iso. All in all the install works fine, did it yesterday again on arch, but so many steps and the end result is netflix easily consuming a complete core. Not much of a problem on a desktop, but on my laptop I don't like heat building up.
The only thing I can't seem to find is how to put 2 pages next to eachother in Focuswriter. Instead of the central screen allignment of the text.Other than that, for creative writing to me it's perfect. Absolutely nothing on the screen but text.
Neh it's totally different. Vim is really good at technical writing with lots of editing but I don't want to think about insert mode when I try to write some song lyrics or a poem. Focuswriter btw, is also free and open, but I wouldn't want to use it for coding. While it's true both edit text, they really are different tools.
As a visual minded person I would like to say, thank you. Thank you for that image. I do think you are right though, but I do hope he doesn't slashdot, he would it just for the nerd-points.
For creative writing I use focuswriter, for the simple reason I can focus(!) better on the creative proces. All you see is your text. It's awesome. I can't do without internet, but I'm sure if I had the balls to disconnect my laptop I would become a whole lot more productive.
Listen, I develop hardware as a hobby, My current project is a nice oldschool z80 system. I need direct memory access. In the z80 project I use assembly language (hell, I wrote my bootloader in a hexeditor!) if I was to use a arm-cpu I would have used C for the most part. If you design your own systems or (toy) OS you absolutely need to use a language that let's you access everything. You can't boot a system without that access. It's impossible. What MS platform are you talking about? Is that the xbox or the x86? If the latter is true, I would call that a linux or bsd platform.
Hi, if you don't mind, I like to do with my computers what I want. Including direct memory access. If I want to be limited I would buy something from Apple. Thanks.
After reading your question this one came to my mind. Those who can do, those who can't teach.
But it does makes me wonder what you are teaching these kids if you have to ask us how to get a job in the tech-world. I hope your pupils won't have to ask that same question.
Well, while I feel sorry for you. I really think every child has a right to see / speak both the parents on a regular base, we don;t know if there is a divorce. Might as well that the father is in the army overseas. Or something else.
The problem with the phone is next to the fact that these devices aren't suitable for 4 year olds might as well be taken away.
I agree with you, if the parent where the kid is, is unwilling, you have very little to fight back with and is something that should change, but it's also beyond the scope of the question from the poster.
Anyway, I hope you also will get in touch with your kid on a regular base. You and your kid have that right. Or better, should have.
Read the article, they are being used to sense gunpowder, not drugs. For once I actually think the police has got one hell of a new co-worker, the lady that noticed the mine-sniffing rats from the army could also be used in the police force to quickly get an idea if someone had fired a gun or not. I am sure there will still be lab-tests, but at least they can go on with their investigation based on a pretty acurate source.
I don't feel my tone was like that at all, but I understand your view and for some comments you are completely right. But the author of the comment I posted this comment too, chose to put his comment under mine. So I tried to explain my thoughts. Nothing more, nothing less. I really do wish the father wisdom in his decision and I really do hope he will consider other options. Like maybe regular skype-calls. But I don't think he is crazy for wanting to speak/see his kid at all. Not at all. I completely understand that. Who wouldn't?
I don't think that is what most people here are saying. It's not what I'm saying. Just that there might be better ways. While we don't know if this is the case (the father might be just a hard worker, might me overseas, whatever...) if it is, the father might be able to get an agreement with the mother to do skype-talks. There might be lots of other options instead of giving a 4yo a mobile. And there are. Lots of people got divorced, lots of kids have fathers in the army. There are other options, since this is a quitte common problem.
While I don't disagree with you, there is nothing in the question of the submitter that tells me we have a such a wonderkid here. Allthough I asume the kid is exceptional, as all kids are. Regardless of development. It is however also our task as parents to give the kids a chance to be kids. It's nice that you are really gifted and could understand those books and yes, we need these 'odd' people. I do hope your case is documentend btw, because it would give us a chance to learn more about the human brain than we do now.

Hi, this is 2014, ai, agents, selfteaching systems, neural networks - have made great progress.
And because someone is using them. But yes. We probably agree on this.

he would do it* Life is too short for proofreading, I read after and then correct. Much less time consuming. :'(

Yeps, they are named after famous tv-detectives. I found that rather funny.
