The summary states $40 million has been allowed to help coal workers and other residents of the norther corner of the state - but will that really be enough to help them Native American communities that suffer from coal plant shutdowns? (html links for text don't seem to be working, check out https://www.abqjournal.com/121... for details).
It sure seems like the offer to buy the plat and retrofit it with scrubbers and recapturing technology was a win-win that should have been lauded as a green solution that also helped the residents of that part of the state.
Netflix already has ads, mostly previews for their original content.
You are thinking of Amazon Prime video, Netflix does not do previews before shows you watch (though it does do previews if you hover over an item, not really the same as an ad).
By tracking your viewing habits, they can give you better recommendations.
Maybe, but the article was specifically about ads...
I recall scrolling last month through a Google Drive folder they had shared with 1 million photos in it that they used as their source material.
Interesting, I hadn't thought they would actually share the dataset used for training so many faces as it is so large...
In that case you are probably right that the license ends up mattering, but I wonder if there is not some kind of fair-use argument to be made here since the image is used in an educational context.
It's pictures available for public conniption ("conniption" was an autocorrect error too funny to correct).
Consumption is just what model training is doing; they are not republishing the pictures in any way, just using them to train models - which do not contain any element of images they train from.
If you put your image in public, how can you be aghast someone has viewed it?
Seems like it will take a lot of the (remaining) fun from Twitter, not being able to see the ratio of likes to comments...
I can't see a good case to hide either. Seeing how much something is liked can be really inspiring for some meaningful or heartwarming tweet (yes there are such things).
Similarly, seeing reply count is kind of nice as a metric of, should I even bother to reply, or read responses?
Seems like all changes are made to fight content Twitter dislikes. But all it ever does is make things worse for good content, and for Twitter usability...
If it's up, is it really down...

Facebook is Down
·
· Score: 1
It could be some people cannot access Facebook, but for me it's been up all morning (and still is) - I see content from as recently as 11 minutes ago...
So it doesn't seem like Facebook is down so much as, there is some kind of large scale network anomaly somewhere. Are any other sites affected for people?
I wouldn't be surprised to learn if there's some dedicated hardware that's been added to the SoCs in the latest phones that enable doing this on the device itself.
Yes, just like Apple has the Neural Engine, Google has the Pixel Visual Core
The name is misleading because from what I can tell (and what the article says) it is like the Apple chip, and can help with arbitrary neural network processing.
What I'm not sure of is the speed of the iPhone chip compared to the Pixel one, the iPhone chip took quite a leap in speed this year...
Yep looks like Portland citizens just don't believe real science. They don't like vaccines,, so it follows that the same kind of faith-based "science" that claims all wireless signals cause cancer would be believed as well..
I eventually found a local farm producer that raises their chickens humanely and doesn't use the super-growing varieties. The cost is not significantly more than factory farmed chicken, it's better for the birds and the quality is night and day better.
I totally agree, we get chickens from a local farmer and we noticed the chicken was a lot better than most packaged chicken. I haven't had commercial stuff for a while so I didn't know the quality had gone downhill...
I don't know that everyone can find farm raised chicken like that, but if you can it's worth the effort. We subscribe to a co=op from the farm, were we get a certain amount of chicken and other products per month, that helps address the costs and helps keep the farm in business.
The article I read said the kids were not being charged, and that "none of them knew".
How does someone take a test for you and you not know? How does an application get sent in for you with pictures of you in the rowing club, and you have no idea?
I'm not saying the kids should be charged for the sin of the parents... but I am saying you cannot reasonably claim they did not know.
It's funny, I'm not keen on lab grown beef, but I'd probably go for lab grown chicken... maybe it's because it would be essentially what we have now, without the suffering of millions of chickens raised in really poor conditions.
Also because it appears lab grown chicken has a much lower bar to meet commercial chicken quality as the summary illuminates.
When they get to the point they can emulate a relationship and we can develop feelings for them...
I thought that's what people are for.
They are, but not everyone can have someone.
I'm married myself, but I realize something like that is not possible for everyone, and I for one will not judge those who find relationships elsewhere. Everyone seeks comfort and you can see a future where for some it might be personal assistants deliver some measure of that.
That is what I mean by "you might have something", that could be a thing that would be a runaway hit for all sorts of reasons. For people with kids for example, would you rather them watch TV to get some quiet time, or have conversations with a personable all-knowing nanny?
Black Mirror has shown some dark sides to this, Her shows the brighter possible side... somewhere is the middle is the future. Are you going to stick your head in the sand and ridicule it? Or would you rather try to understand what will happen?
That is a great idea for a voice assistant, the only issue is that everyone in the house would be learning Chinese also... not a problem for anyone single.
The interesting thing is, it's only every families I've seen buying home voice devices. I wonder why that is.
I think someone could not do what you are proposing through Alexa though, maybe through Google or Apple devices as I think the apps would have more direct access to servers than you can have from an Alexa skill.
Home automation is a cool application, but only a handful of people really go for it. Many others try it as a novelty (with, say a single lightbulb) but go no further....
So you can't really classify it as a runaway hit.
Setup Alexa to notify you if the baby's room gets too cold and auto increase the temp in the house if it does.
Hey guess what, now you are programing, with devices instead of something more abstract. What have we learned after decades about how many people like to program?
THIS is the future.
I agree the abstract concept of home automation it's the future, it will just get better and better. The question is what will make the future viable for most people to want and enjoy.
The reality is that the future will look something way more like, the system figures out what temperature you like when and just makes that happen without your complex programming even needed. Humans are ultimately creatures of habit, it should be pretty easy for an AI to learn how to manage home automation in a way don't don't even need to tell it what to do. You just live, turn on or off lights and just temperature as normal, and over time find you aren't doing that as often, or eventually ever...
If you listen to the whole recording, you see that he's talking about how women act around famous or very rich people. Is he wrong?
You might be mad he took advantage of it, but why? What would you truly do if women were throwing themselves at you? The reaction of people to Trump describing a situation they will never encounter always amuses me, because most people would act with hardly more honor in similar situations.
In contrast to that single audio tape, we have countless women working for Trump before he was ever president, and working with him now - along with having daughters. That all balances out Trump's profile in my books, he obviously thinks women are capable of anything. Juste because he also likes to have sex and has fewer scruples in that regard than most people most people doesn't really alter that fundamental point.
That's the real problem with society and especially with liberals today, they cannot separate sex from ability. It's why they also shamefully attack sex workers and slut shame women left and right with the slightest pretext... and supposedly Trump is against women? Please. His only crime is loving them too much.
The reason there's not anything compelling out of so many apps, is that Alexa is really the equivalent of the computer terminal for voice access of computers...
That is to say, it's pretty primitive and early days of what is possible for interacting with computers via voice.
Until we get to interactions like you saw in the movie Her, I don't know that people will find voice assistants beyond mildly useful. When they get to the point they can emulate a relationship and we can develop feelings for them... then you might have something.
And how would one write a text file to a disc that only stores ones and zeros?
HMMMMMM
Pretty telling you weren't even smart enough to link to a single source, all you could manage was a Duck Duck Go search. But then you AC's were always a few monkeys short of a barrel.
I'll let you have the last word so you can gibber on about how files composed of ones and zeros are not binary.
P.S. I don't have any "certs" because I actually know how to do things, instead of needing a paper that claims I can.
Slashdot Mirror
Pi just got bigger.
You missed a real opportunity there to say:
There's now a lot more PI to go around.
It's even more delicious than you think at first glance... "around", get it?!?

Maybe, but the article was specifically about ads...
I am highly suspicious there is even a single AV app that is of any use, even if not actively harmful.
On the one hand, I don't mind if they replace existing ads.
On the other hand, they mention Netflix in passing here - so would that mean Netflix playing on this TV would have ads? No thanks!

Turns out that all Google projects are really just 20% side projects at this point, if someone takes up racketball an entire hardware line is out.
Many of us are not narcissistic attention seeking whores and do not want to be in the spotlight for any reason.
(Not sure why you were down-modded?)
If that is true, you wouldn't have any photos up they could use to train right?
Also any photos used for training, are never in the spotlight as it were.
It's pictures available for public conniption ("conniption" was an autocorrect error too funny to correct).
Consumption is just what model training is doing; they are not republishing the pictures in any way, just using them to train models - which do not contain any element of images they train from.
If you put your image in public, how can you be aghast someone has viewed it?
I know, right? I think "color coding" of responses would have been waaayyyy down on my personal list of desired changes.
Seems like it will take a lot of the (remaining) fun from Twitter, not being able to see the ratio of likes to comments...

Their customers will eat anything.
Close, but the truth is Arby's customers will eat anything that has Arby's cheese sauce on it.
Even though it makes me feel slightly odd, who can resist its moist pleasures?

...for some companies to switch to ARM.
Who is ready, I wonder?
