  1. Re:New Employee? on The Smithsonian's New Tour Guide Is a Robot (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    The technology exists such that at a given room location, your cell phone can offer the same verbal and optical solution. And with an inexpensive cardboard VR viewer, one can view the Smithsonian, or any other museum without going to it. But nothing is ever as good as going there and seeing it for yourself.

    So, ignoring the 1950's reference, how about looking at Pepper's ability to climb stairs?

    the Zeroth Law? Hell, it's daunting for H1B's to wrap their head around laws 1 thru 3.

  4. I think of the lost knowledge that was communicated by the Neanderthals in their survived paintings and carvings. I see the same solution to western knowledge being buried in the libraries of the Vatican. It is the lack of sharing of knowledge that the Vatican and the Neanderthals will both have in common when someone else shares to all the same idea to others.

    Consider this definition of Irony: I have never considered the likes of Bill Gates, or Elon Musk, or any their friends to be anything Media. None of them are, or were reporters. And none of them could explain why one would even begin to consider how to use a Bayesian Filter. But they have figured out a way to take your money using AI, and they say that's bad.

  6. A well moderated site doesn't need attitude to be useful. I'm thinking that a moderated version of stackoverflow could do just as well?

  7. It is the main reason I stopped contributing and reading. The venomous tiraids of the unwashed became non productive from my view point. Who needs them, there are other places that have the same, (same?), information.

    maybe one should consider an AI that caters to a single person, and that that AI is 3 Laws safe?

    Has anyone else noticed that the people that are touting the ills of AI are the same ones that are using AI to take your money?

  10. Re:Not zero emission in China yet. on Electric Buses Are Hurting the Oil Industry (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If I had the points, I'd mod you as informative. Ya, the power is currently generated by coal, but not diesel. That's the beginning. When the power is generated by renewables, then things will be pretty fair, for buses.

  11. I think this path offers a download of Ubuntu; wonderful doesn't begin to explain it.

    One idea is that the device will be continuously transmitting data to its owner. Another bother is when one lives at the beach, rust and termites are always present.

    Well, using accidents that happen the home would be a good way to test the device. Also, the test that simulates a Tornado.

    A machine that can clean my 3 story home; no, I am not joking. This machine also has to be able to repair and maintain my home. I would respectfully suggest getting this request "full filled." Honestly, I am already looking. Cooking will be the next requested upgrade.

    listened, for a little bit, to your rant about /. i cannot help but wonder why buy /.? why not just start your own version of /.? and make it the way you would like to see /.?

    Sadly, Machiavelli's statement is not based on the importance on your perception or understandings; but that informing you is wasted energy, and that it is OK. Machiavelli's narrative is for a leader, not the rank and file folks.
