Looking at the video, specially in first person mode they look exactly like bots. Was hoping for something more. They follow walls and snap on target basically. Which also creates the bug when each time is being another wall and it loops. They either see through or hear through precisely and don't try to jump over or set explosives on the walls. That's quite basic.
wages will just go down. robots are certainly NOT free. if a human does it CHEAPER than the human gets the job. the only difference is that humans now compete against robots (and they already do TODAY)
there are tasks where robot costs are LOWER than humans (chain assembly for ex) and other task where its not (janitorial task), that's mainly because one robot can assemble a million cars, but can't clean a million offices. you need a million robots for that.
I know its cool to hate on Bill Gates but really he's neither a bad guy, neither a bad CEO and he did advance computing in more ways than you can probably think of. Certainly Linus did a lot too and certainly had more focus on solely computing - but both of them were also right-time-right-place. I know countless people who wrote their own kernels, some much more advanced than Linux (even Microsoft wrote OSes much more advanced than either Linux or Windows 10). But neither at the right time or the right place, let alone both.
unless its "fast and free". just like for amazon this only works for prime/amazon warehouse items
F&F has been more reliable for me than Amazon "guaranteed" shipping (the shipping time is guaranteed but not the arrival.. lol - so many 1 day *shipping*/ 2 days *shipping* amazon items arrived late... the hour thing is just to incentivize you to buy and brings no real warranty. it might work, it might not.)
I'm what you'd call left-wing, from Europe - but what I see is that anything anyone merely disagrees with is hate speech. This is madness. It has to stop.
The problem is that it kills competition with an unfair advantage, even thus in this case this is clearly not Amazon's main reason for doing this (unless they're playing 6D evil chess). This is similar to the monopoly problem. Step 1: provide service for free, pay users to use it, because you've more money and resources than many countries. Step 2: wait until all smaller competing businesses collapse as they cannot keep up with you paying people to get free stuff. Step 3: change the service price to now cost 100x more than during the step 1 period.
Imagine if Amazon did this for all fresh products all the time, then directed people to their Amazon Fresh Prime after all competition collapsed?
"Im a teacher and students don't listen to me" = tldr people who dont learn wont learn. people who arent good at teaching increase the odds that ppl wont learn
100k usd in SF was considered low incoming recently (thats a little over 8k/mo), according to another slashdot linked article. and it's probably true. 4500usd/mo housing for a small 1 bed room 35%+ taxes 8.75% tax on purchases
so.. 100k-54k = 46k.. - 35% (and thats a low estimate) = 30k left over of utilities, food, car, insurance, etc.
interns there, when you take other things into consideration such as free housing, free food, free laptop, etc. actually get more than many employees of these companies - and I'm saying engineers.
sounds about right, though im not a millenial even, and it still sound about right. work 7-8pm every day and some more on the weekend, til death, seems to be the norm atm.
The issue with Google, Facebook, MSNBC, CNN, you name it - is that they're heavily using double-standards. They just decide that if it does not align with their views, you're censored, fake news, etc. This is terrible and in fact an attack to free speech - even thus a company should be able to do whatever it wants, the reality is that today, if your ISP or Google in particular decide to remove your voice from the internet they can, they will, and today, they do.
Wikipedia has been so far rather successful at keeping a neutral stance though, in their articles. Of course, its not *always* neutral - far from it - but it's *mostly* neutral and that's what makes Wikipedia great: the data is mostly correct, concise, informative!
So basically, even thus this seems to be a very difficult endeavor I truly wish them well and hope they are successful. I for one am happy to hear about points of views I disagree with as long as they're reasonably factual. No more "allegedly-everything".
Pretty much People focus on "OH LOL 70K saved its nothing" which is true.
But the reality is why would you spent anyone's time on something that isn't actually useful other than to create a false illusion of openness? Might as well not...
Now I'd rather it would actually be open, but if they're not able to do it genuinely I'm happy that they stop doing so.
"no rational reason" how about "clusters of computers are lower latency and process more data faster than your brain". "they also do not get tired, do not lose attention, etcl" seems like a rational reason enough.
thats inaccurate though. humans will only be ok with automated cars that are always never wrong (as in 1 in 100million kind of chance), and if possible actually never wrong (might crash but was physically impossible for the car to take a better decision)
until them, humans will prefer dying among their peers.
multispectral cameras that are used aren't like your gopro. these capture ranges very wide, which includes IR and what you'd normally call radar waves.
At the end of the day its always the same. A wave hit an object and comes back.
I like how TFA and others make it sound like BK is the bad guy. What they did is funny and relatively harmless (except for Google's reputation maybe). It also shows the HUGE issue that always-listening devices are. I'd rather BK make fun of it, than someone else. Users have no control over these devices whatsoever. The company listens to everything they say, and can decide to act on it or not.
Otherwise, what's next? TV ads says BK burgers are good, and the Google voice comes up to tell you how you should get Google burgers instead? Or how about you're discussing with friends that you're going to go to Starbucks to get a coffee, but Google reminds you there is a closer coffee shop (that happens to be sponsored), which is Phil's ?
Sounds crazy today, but in 5y from now it will sound perfectly normal and something we have to deal with day to day. I'm all for making fun of it, showing the flaws and exploiting them in these ways before it become the new normal.
"bias" seems like the wrong word for AI though. Just like humans, it works by generalizing data. Just like humans, it needs to be aware that generalization means this is the statistically most likely case - but not the case for every instance.
So basically, it's not bias - which is why it bothers people a lot - it's pretty much statistical analysis results based on data with low chance of error. It's just that you cannot generalize things while working on a case per case basis and expect the correct outcome every time. It's just more likely to be the correct outcome, but not necessarily correct.
tldr: people wrongly think bias means you're making the wrong decision. bias just really means you're defaulting to the most likely correct choice - which may very well be incorrect depending on the case. Today's "AIs" are pretty much unaware of this.
Love how that troll comment went right to "you talk about piracy convenience and thus you're racist (against black people in particular) and you're stupid" You forgot to call him a Nazi btw.

nah i just read slashdot and it has a box to disable ads already ;-)

its kinda nice. doesnt seem to use mozilla's engine though. very fast browser actually, lol
its not because X does shit that it warrants Y shit. With that kind of reasoning you end up with a whole lot of shit ;-)
yay!

did you post that when spacex reached space a few years back?
it makes no sense lol.

thats exactly what its for.

this is all possible of course, but, please, link me to that 1900USD 2BR? Any. Please.

This sounds all true to me - but the point is that free-sharing systems like torrents keep them on their toes.
Without them, you will not get HBO Now. You will get "this is 500USD/month with ads and you can only watch at certain hours on certain devices".
