  1. Re:Will they drive on normal roads on It's Official: Apple is Testing Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 2

    and what is the update cycle for those roads. I know the cars will stop working after 2 newer models become available but the roads at least i hope they support beyond 2 revisions.

  2. lets suggest that instead of committing suicide, Entity allowed for freeish thought/action. and then disabled the preview button. then instead of re-enabling the preview button just decided to force by torture the commandments.

    kinda like the old sim city games where you can enable or disable cheats but the game is more fun for longer if you try to make things work without cheats.

    idk.

    this would be a better option and maybe the wording makes more sense with that in mind.

    that attorney typically would be the DA and they are already paid off by big businesses. Money is speech.

    yup or stop paying rent and get your own.

  7. you don't have to use comcast's router... so if you care about it, put your own cable modem/router out there.

    perhaps you have overestimated their writing abilities to actually mean what is said and not implied.

  9. an "infinite and all-powerful being" can still be petty and vengeful...

    do not underestimate the power of the darkside.

    oh yeah I believe in the force too.

  10. lets grant everything you and others say is 100% correct. (even when contradictory)

    my point however was that any game (or process), that is based on computational expertise should have the computer (AI, NN, DL) ahead. these games are relevant as a measure to compare a human's logical processing capability against other humans, and actually we as humans mostly fail at being good at them because ... chemicals or distractions or boredom make us less perfect players.

    thus this is not a measure of a computer thinking like human but ... a computer thinking like a human trying to think like a computer.

    as with traditional AI, i think the approach is wrong if you are trying to "think" like a human.

  15. dont worry it will be.

  16. "designing a computer with human-like understanding that can solve problems like a human mind can"
    we are talking about a game here with rules so in essence its actually the reverse.

    this is an exercise where a human is trying to play like a computer that can plan out a million moves ahead... and some how is able to stay close!!

  19. i was pretty sure there wasn't anything like 4k 3D, also the last ST was in UHD not true 4k anyway. but just wondering if XD = 4k3d

  20. 1. The big screen. Have a big screen at home, all THX like and stuff
