That man opened the door for lunatics like this. His followers are gleefully jumping through the door and this is what we get as a nation. I also blame the GOP for this because of their desire for power in Washington. They let this happen unchecked.
Trump may be aggravating it, but this isn't new. Some idiot attacked Sikhs a few years ago because he thought their turbans meant they were Muslims.
Racism doesn't always attract the brightest bulbs.
Regardless of whom the law holds responsible, this is going to be an actuarial nightmare for the insurance company. A manufacturer might have a stellar track record for decades, then one day a security update introduces a bug that causes a lot of crashes. How can the insurance companies take account of that in their pricing?
The purpose of peer review is to identify incorrect theories and throw them out.
Not even that much, really. You can't generally detect an incorrect theory in a paper you're reviewing.
Basically peer review can only ensure that the authors have done their homework, are aware of all the other relevant literature, explain themselves clearly, thought of obvious problems and alternative explanations, and don't invoke any logical fallacies.
In practice a lot of it gets dedicated to a grad student who can't even do that much.
As someone else said, it sounds like it mimics the type of programmer who spends all his time gluging together copypasta code snippets from StackOverflow without understanding them
Using AI to convert specs to code has been an active research area for a long time. But to essentially echo your point, specs that are specific enough to allow this are about the same complexity and require about the same amount of detail as writing the program.
And in my limited industry experience, we worked more as hacks than as spec implementers anyway. Typically we wrote what someone asked for, then waited for them to come back and say that wasn't really what they wanted. Iterate until you move to the next job.
That's right, he does have nothing to hide. He's just another victim of more fake news coming out of the Washington Post, a democrat propaganda machine.
I think we are a long way from a Trump impeachment and conviction. I still can't see the Republicans sacrificing themselves when they control Congress and, at least no.inally the White House.
You're probably right, but given Trump's arrogance, thin skin, and dubious track record on Republican values, I suspect he'll get crossways with Congress long before his term is over.
There is talk among Washington reporters that they actually wonder if Trump is in possession of his faculties.
If it were you or me that would be a forgone conclusion. However, the problem with claiming that Trump is mental is that his behavior is exactly why you'd expect from a spoiled brat billionaire grown old and cranky.
It took about 1.5 hours for someone to blame the Obama administration. You guys are losing it.
Don't you know the drill? Everything will be Obama's fault until the next Democratic president is elected, and then suddenly everything will be retroactively that person's fault.

When I RTFA and saw the reference to hematite, I wondered if this is similar to possible evidence of life found on Mars
Funny, whenever I see a reference to hematite I think of Dwarf Fortress.
I can see banning harassers, etc., but trolling is one of the cornerstones of the internet.
They just need to market it better.

My job will just be eliminated because it's worthless. There's no money to be made by having a robot take it over.
Besides... no robot would have my crappy job!
I'm a robot, so I'm pretty sure I'm safe.
What will happen when humans have no jobs?
There will be a takeover attempt. Kind of like in Terminator, except it's the humans that will be trying to take over.

Too many scientists!
All the important jobs, like deciding whether New Zealand is a continent and Pluto is a planet, have already been taken.
something like "content-aware fill" would work here? ;-)
Yeah, you just spec it out with a lot of {...}, and let the AI fill it in.
... that can turn the harebrained buzzword/bullshit-laden confused and convoluted descriptions ("specs") of my marketing crew into a working product.
I just deliver a "Hello, World!" program, and when they say "WTF?" I say "Sure, it's got some bugs in it, but I got it out ahead of schedule!"

Perfect problem for a genetic algorithm.

Do we have to go from nothing is a planet except 8, to everything is a planet if it's round?
We could rename the first category to "plan8".
What's the point of these taxonomical exercises? Like, who gives a fuck?
Those that do, and those that don't?
Zoo? The scientists are going to *eat* it!
until they break out of their cages and go berserk.
But if you survive you can write your memoirs and they'll make it into a major motion picture.
Seems like we've seen a lot of these over the last few days.
Yes, they've invented a machine that cranks them out.
Because that might mean that autism is already setting in before certain Eeeeeevil vaccines have been given.
Maybe we can use this to predict who's going to get vaccinations?

OK, looks like it's time to escalate to heavyweight arguments.

Already rats leaving the sinking ship.
Funny way of clearing the swamp.
Don't most people consider weather forecasts "fake news" anyway?
