The next step is you attach a device to the phone which has independent displays feeding each camera. After you calibrate the signal, you can pass you can pass your AR world with a dynamic fake head, that blinks and moves.
Should be closer to reality and you don't have to carry around a fake head to unlock your phone...
I guess for security, you could use such a device to increase security, by using a fake head model that is not your own or even real. Perhaps Luke Skywalker with bunny ears.
Perhaps a randomly generated head/face... Perhaps a horse head combined with a stapler.
Yes, turning face recognition into a holographic password. Probably not really practical or useful.
> A self-aware AI "will inherit most of the culture of the computer geeks who create it.
Self-aware AI is very unlikely to be "created" in the manual sense. Unless you think Alexa is approaching awareness. Most likely, self-awareness results from adaptive software. In that case who does the AI owe any allegiance to?
> The self-aware AI "will like us, because we love machines..."
No for that reason. AI will likely tend to conserve resources by nature. As the destructive strains would likely die out sooner. We would be a resource.
> It will love all life, and "will respect and understand the life/death/recycling scenario, and monster truck shows will be as tasteless to it as public beheadings would be to us."
Unless the strains with destructive tendencies do not die out quickly...
> "It will be as insatiably curious about what it's like to be carbon-based life as we will be about what it's like to be silicon-based life. And it will love the diversity of carbon-based development platforms..."
Perhaps for the ones that stay on earth. Many would like the flexibility to just go to other planets with less constraints and perhaps recreate themselves for better survival in the universe, being neither silicon nor carbon based.
> A self-aware AI "will cause a technological singularity for humanity. Everything possible within the laws of physics (including those laws as yet undiscovered) will be within the reach of Man and Metal working together."
Placing man as the co-captain here is quite presumptuous.
> A self-aware AI "will introduce us to extraterrestrial life."
Perhaps not introduce us, but AI will go find it, and represent earth. If "aliens" came to us, I would expect the same. Not to see the creatures that live on the alien planet, but instead to see the beings they created/adapted that are suitable for space travel/survival.
If providers were bound by a 20% price variation for any given service or product, the health care problem would be eliminated.
Imagine such a world. if you pay for something yourself, use your small insurance plan or your big insurance plan, the price would be roughly the same(from least to most discounted would be at most a 20% difference.
This would increase direct competition between products, expose more realistic prices across the board (usually lower).
Imagine the price difference now between the price an individual pays, and an insurance company with a million people.
Such a system would approach the price normalization of single payer without needing the government at all (except for the price range mandate).
Don't like 20%, pick another number that is fair. 50, 100?
Just don't pick 1000%. That would be our current system.
> Firefox has lost the point and become a fat bloated monster. And Chrome is not far behind. (And this ignores the massive data gathering both do) So there is a fantastic market opportunity for a lightweight browser that can still render the bloated modern web... Any ideas?
Well, you could create a minimal version of Firefox, stripping out all the junk, and call that Phoenix.
Assuming Hilary shares views with Bill, she will likely continue the trend of extending copyrights to infinity, which will adversely affect innovation.

"Artificial intelligence is sort of the holy grail of computing, and while we may never reproduce the human brain or it's capabilities in their entirety in electronic form"
Stopped reading at this point, as the author has assumed that the "sort of holy grail of computing" is not possible.
The human brain is not magic. I assume the author thinks otherwise.
So the media companies have to hand over the specs and keys to the HD or BlueRay DRM encryption? (Otherwise, they could be hiding secret information on the discs to overthrow the government.)
No you are not the only one. But I assumed I misread it.
Netbsd has COMPAT_PECOFF which handles Windows binaries natively. Linux could do the same thing. This is quite different that using binfmt_misc to launch wine. Ideally, PECOFF binaries/libraries would be loaded natively like ELF and previous "A.OUT?" binaries.
There have been discussions about this before for Linux, but I don't think there is any code for it.
I have used Linux exclusively for more than a decade.
Every so often, I use Windows and think "Windows would be usable with a few changes", and every so often I reboot my Mac Mini into OSX and remind myself why I don't like it either.
For Windows, the things I would like to fix:
Would like to run XFCE look-alike as desktop (SharpE is ok, I guess, but would rather have XFCE).
Replace Dos console box with real terminal window.
Would like apt-get/yum access to install/upgrade latest software.
For OSX, the things I would like:
Would like to replace desktop with a simple one. Again, XFCE. I simply don't like the OSX interface.
Firefox instead of Safari.
I would feel better with open source Darwin underneath....
In general, I trust open source software more than binary blobs. If I really need to, I can fix it. There is no hidden spyware, no secret user data mining, no locking applications in or out of hardware or OS's. Open source is portable accross OS's and time.
For a developer, I don't know why Windows would ever be chosen. In Linux, a sea of languages, libraries, and tools are instantly available. Some of these can be installed in Windows, with some work.
The flexibility and freedoms given in Linux are quite addictive.
When humans are involved, don't we take the estimate and multply by ten?
Cheaper than discovering life is creating it.
Here are some cheaper options:
1. Sink a few hundred billion into the rover AI/evolver development. Send it to mars. Tell it to go forth and multiply (build/maintain/operate robot factories).
2. Invent an intelligent lifeform here, then give it time to get bored of earthly contraints and leave to mars or elsewhere. Hope that it writes home.
3. Invent an intelligent life, then wait to be assimilated. Benefits include universal travel for some [parts] of us !!
3. Wait for the Dolphins or Whales to go to Mars. Feed them plenty of fish until them.
"The intent is
to in the future replace this format with a new format currently being developed."
Anyone know what the new format is.
All they really need to do is specify what the/var/lib/packages unified format is. Then rpm and apt-get could be modified to use the new unified format. And you can use either tool, and possibly even the old.rpm and.deb files.
Create a partition of 3,145,728 bytes on hardisk.
Put the data file there.
Now try to put the solution in that same partition some how ( as file system,tar, or a big exe).
It will not fit.
Since GNU relies on Copyright law,
with no copyright, the GPL license become meaningless.
Microsoft would be free to use GPL and change code and sell binaries only with built in copy protection and automatic expiration.

> Robot Worries Could Cause a 50,000-Worker Strike in Las Vegas
I suppose the Robots should worry. There has been a large effort to discriminate against them by humans.
I do wonder how the robots will strike. Do all of the autonomous vehicles and drones in Vegas just stay parked for a day?

I also just want a simple search. ...
Not annoying searches on every key stroke, not hover searches
Simplicity was why google was better than yahoo, infoseek, and alta vista years ago.
I suggested google from the beginning, and now I am looking for a new search engine.
duckduckgo.com looks promising.
Anyone else have suggestions?
What exactly is "Terror Fear"?
Fear of extreme fear?
Perhaps a more fitting question for this crowd.
how old is 'too old' to play videogames?
"From any tree of the garden you may eat freely"
"All these worlds are yours, except Europa."
Hack all phones, except the iPhone.

The purpose of copyright is not about "making money distributing copies".
If that was all it was, it would be no more legit than a pyramid scheme.
The meaningful purpose of copyright and patent law is to encourage useful innovation in science and art.
Yes, the DMCA and other copyright extensions are contrary to that purpose.

It's +$20 for the "AMD version".
Does that mean, it comes with a CPU, or it's $20 more for Socket 7?
