I think a true strong AI, and what would cause me the most fear would be manipulations, knowledge or social engineering attacks. Not the attack of your toaster.
I must trust everyone on this bus not to pull out a gun and steal my tablet. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken it out.
I must trust the guy at the corner store, because I believed that after I paid for some goods, he wouldn't come running after me calling me a thief.
On the other hand, must I trust anyone or any entity to do the same thing they did in the past? Well only to the extent that it fits with their own best interests. Unfortunately the more removed they are from my circle of influence, the less likely that their best interests coincide with mine. Still I must trust that the sky wont fall, otherwise I'd never get out of the house.
Why do you feel entitled to dump your FUD on my community?
This wasn't meant as FUD, just good natured jibing. Relax:D
Perl isn't the most popular choice but there's a lot of us making a decent living at it, so please if you don't get it, or you don't like it, unless you have a grudge with Perl that hasn't already been mentioned 100K times what's the point of saying anything at all?
I don't doubt it. I have no hate for Perl, I was joking. Notice how many qualifies I put on my statements? It was just the first thing that popped into my head when I read a slashdot headline, no biggie.
Ok, I know I'll get modded down to oblivion for this, but my first thought on reading the headline was "Modern Perl Web Framework, isn't that an oxymoron?" Any others think that as a reflex at first too? Even if you don't really believe it?
I know I used to love Perl, but that was a long time ago...
Well if we are using sperm and egg then we really need to develop robot parents that have strong AI modelled after ourselves to take care of the children and raise them as best they can. Send along all the accumulated knowledge we can, and hope for the best. Long term they probably wouldn't turn out too much different from ourselves. Even if the first few generations were really messed up.
a long-term vision of the project is to make flying accessible to more people
If people have problems driving without distractions, imagine if the car went where they were thinking/looking.... Now let them do it in 3 dimensions..... What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately this really needs to get modded up... There are huge privacy concerns doing this... Certainly it takes advantage of the removal of Skype end-to-end encryption that we enjoyed so many years ago:(
Totally agree... Regardless, it definitely seems more like an auto-immune disease then a cancer. Besides, it seems to have spread to other countries...
I'd liken this to the difference between the immune system and a cancer.
There are legitimate activities undertaken by the FBI daily. Such examples as child porn, kidnapping, and other Federal law enforcement duties. I think of these as being more like the immune system.
There are other activities the FBI engages in like entrapment of mentally deficient individuals into terror "plots" where they convince some nearly retarded guy that he's got a truck full of explosives, and to drive them into a sensitive target. This is more like cancer.
A common thing that people claim is that this will reduce accidents caused by drunk drivers... I would trust my son or daughter to drive more then I would trust myself to drive drunk.. As I would trust a autonomous car to drive us better then either of us.
Now what really concerns me is what if the computer of a driverless car is under the influence of ethanol?:P
More likely scenario: It would cease acceleration and break at a speed and accuracy you could only dream of and pull into the pocket behind the truck or family and match the speed of the truck exactly enough to slowly pull away from its bumper. A maneuver that not within the abilities of your average human driver. (Though I'm sure there are some stunt drivers who could handle it.)
Yes. He did his actions in blind rage at the spur of the moment. They did their actions with cold calculation, over years, despite numerous and various warnings against their actions.
I'm sorry, I don't see how a discussion of the fiat money system and debt is Offtopic? The main reason we have to work as hard as we do is we are paying back debts that can never be repaid to companies who can magically create money out of thin air. There is a whole systemic problem on top of that, but in the end most of us work for money which is needed to allow us to live pleasant lives. (And oddly enough to pay taxes to the government, who, if they didn't outsource it, could print their own money.)
Slashdot Mirror
As always, people are the problem.

That explains a lot of code I've read over the years.....
Depends on semantics.

I'm sure in a month, some teams of 60 people will claim to have 5 years combined experience in swift....
I believe this in so far as I think some congress people are jealous and want larger "campaign contributions" as well.

Yeah, been reading OpenSSL Valhalla Rampage
Once it is released in Linux, I'm definitely switching.

Driverless party bus!!!!
Not to mention when they breathalyze it and detect that it has been ingesting large quantities of 10% ethanol beverages....
Unfortunately I think this will be hugely delayed by unions...

I'd liken that more to AIDS...

Yes. He did his actions in blind rage at the spur of the moment. They did their actions with cold calculation, over years, despite numerous and various warnings against their actions.
At which point it collapsed into a state where it has been released, but fails to be able to do anything useful.
You trust it on a virtual machine, on a honey pot host, in a virtual network, that is disconnected from any other system...

The fiat money system at work.. Most people have more debt then assets because tautology.
