    Musk takes this seriously?

  2. What is There to Work With? on Ask Slashdot: Who's Building The Open Source Version of Siri? (upon2020.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, we'll need a voice to text generator. Then we'll need some kind of AIML handler. Finally, a text to voice generator. IBM use to sell a Voice-To-Text interface card in the late 1990's. Text to Voice is a small software routine these days.

    The Machine Learning part is the intriguing part. Books have been, and will continue to be written on this. What the hard part is, "Is how can a computer program find a valid fact, and be able to defend that the fact is valid?"

    I know of 81,000 iPhone users that agree with an A/C.

  6. I find myself wondering if these iPhone 81K'ers are also Trump supporters. Even though Trump really doesn't need a "supporter.",(jock strap for the unwashed).

  7. One should ask, "If elected, what is Trump going to do for Trump?" Anyone who benefits is an inconsequential by-product, for Trump. We do know that there are at least 14 million voting personalities that are willing to give that self serving fat ass a try, and this is a Republic, NOT a Democracy.

    Administrative Note: If a man has a fat ass, he's got an exploitable problem.

    I heard that a Racist Robot will be the next GOP presidential candidate; the Rimshot Drum is a little bit extra.

    Maybe it's time to start building a system that is 3 Laws Safe?

  16. Let me see if I understand this correctly. The state of Oregon accepts a 95 million dollar settlement while paying 240 million dollars in damages because Oracle's dumb ass stupid H1B village idiots can't do a simple credit card web app?

    Then the state of Oregon says "YES!" to doing more business with these dead weight morons for more years to come?

    Well, this does thoroughly explain the nature of Dark Matter.

  24. Why use the word Stingray? Wouldn't Hydra be more descriptive?

  25. I think that if they, the government you live under, did respond; it would be hard. As for a FOI, I'm surprised any other country except the U.S. had such an instrument.
