"Reuters is reporting that 'Intel Inside VIIV' and 'Intel VIIV' were filed as U.S. trademarks.
The word Pentium doesn't appear in these trademarks. Has the Pentium come to the end?
After all, "Pentium 5" would really beg the question why Intel is stuck on "Pent" so long that the 486 must still be in style.
For continuity generation 6 comes naturally after generation 5. Is that the meaning of "VI"? It's hard to imagine that a simple Roman numeral is used to refer to an entire generation of processors.
It's possible that "VIIV" refers to the first generation of 64-bit processors, with no explicit link to Pentium
I don't know about other programmers but I've been writing a lot of bloated code due to the layers and layers of instant configurability just in case people want to do things just the way they like it. These days everyone wants to be able to change their minds. If they didn't have such expectations of computers, they could just dispense with the software and enter everything into a word processor!
All the same, there should be a way to lock a program into the express lane to bypass unnecessary layers for people who have an optimal route for doing certain tasks.
It takes a lot of coding though - so many features to make and so few resources. Make it work and optimize/fix if time permits as per y2k mentality.
What's more handy is electronics that find electrical outlets all by themselves as well as being able to exploit solar and wind power.
Babies are spoon-fed. Mature machines ought to feed themselves although machines that build fires had better know how to run a turbine and not suck all my oxygen.
The real fundamental problem is that we do not even understand what intelligence is.
What do people do? Perhaps we can't instantly understand and encapsulate intelligence in a neat statement, but let's look at ourselves.
People have problems and they solve them.
People express ideas.
People act.
In a nutshell, people manipulate language and mass-energy. Robots can do this. Right away some will say people can understand this and that while robots just behave as commanded.
Does a baby really understand what it senses? Or does it create ideas and develops faith in some ideas while rejecting other ideas as downright silly?
Do you, dear reader, understand the machine you are reading this with? You have amassed a bunch of beliefs that work well with the rest of your beliefs. If you question these beliefs down to the quantum mechanical foundations you might find a lot of contradictions and questions.
How does a cathode ray tube draw a picture? There is an electron beam that is moved over every square millimetre of the screen. This is done repeatedly to draw new pictures. Do people scan their beliefs over and over to find the actions they need to take? It could work. Scan fast enough and you can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Is intelligence nothing but an OS? Where is Windows headed? Maybe into your head.
I believe I can submit by scrolling down grab the mouse and clickkkk. Then I can run my idle process.
However you can't get past the fact that you have a 500 tonne object travelling at 1000 km/h while 8km from the ground
My car is 19 this year yet I have no difficulty passing this "fact".
If so many people and things want to travel so far in such a hurry, it's a monument to ambition. For each person on the plane, they are putting all of their own eggs in the same basket regardless of whether they are flying on a small plane or a big plane. On a macro scale, a bigger plane is a bigger basket of eggs but not a basket of all eggs.
Flying is fraught with peril, but so is doing anything else these days. These days with the population growing and hence more dumb uncaring people rubbing elbows, as well as more potential for high tech to cause heavy damage people are going to have to learn to protect themselves.
Some people have a lot of responsibility for not letting situations go out of control. What can the individual do? Thankfully, most responsible people take their responsibilities seriously. Occasionally some dickheads acquire the reins of power and mess up the lives of innumerable innocents. That's the power of amplifiers.
Life is such a balance of trust and paranoia, elements of the rat race.
Humans are genetically limited to the form of their anatomy - two arms, two legs, etc. Machines don't have this limitation, i.e., a team of millipedes.
I'm sure that a robot with ball possession and fast cpu can run around a team of people bounce the ball on the head, and no one can catch it. That won't make the robot intelligent since it's a far cry from ball bouncing to generic thought. A supervised training stint is all that is required to learn running, evasion, ball handling, goal scoring, goalkeeping.
I want to lie on the beach but I don't have time to travel so I installed an umbrella over the bed. Then I put my sunglasses on and ate junk food. Sometimes I find shells in my Cygwin.
Do not stop at one invention. A business that hires someone to invent or solve difficult problems is taking a big risk and therefore deserves rights and ownership. The inventor has to find a new opportunity. Anyone who is hired for the purpose of invention ought to have the qualifications for tackling new problems.
If you are working at a non-inventive job but you see a better way to achieve a purpose, take care of yourself. You will be paid regardless of whether you do it with an invention or by brute force. If you want to enrich yourself with your new potential for bargaining leverage, apply a strategy. Test out elements of your invention without revealing it. Consider starting your own business or ask for either a promotion or equity.
Do not underestimate what an invention means. Investigate its potential. Consider possibilities. Be ready to invest a lot of time and energy though - it can be a long way from concept to market appeal. If an idea is revealed too early, a large company may spend megabucks to fully develop the idea in such a way that it retains full ownership.
The poorman inventor may improve his/her competitive position by partnering with experts required for developing a product, especially by finding experts who have no dominance in the target market, but share a common vision. In this group all inventors will more more financially appreciated.
Don't be afraid to invent. In time, computers will show enormous levels of creativity, and people will have to up the ante. Human inventiveness is alive and well! This state of affairs brings us inexorably to AI. It is distinctly possible that the assumption of limited resources and the requirement to allocate them forces the division of said resources in a way that the most inventive beings, machine or flesh, receives the most resources. In this scenario, incredibly creative machines may emerge and burn through gargantuan amounts of raw materials in order to achieve all kinds of higher ideals while those who are less smart are left with scraps. However, some of these higher ideals may involve the fostering of increased inventiveness of any intelligent being resulting in an enjoyable standard of living for everyone.
If you don't believe the report, it's out here for the world to criticize. With the odds increasing, the odds of someone doing an independent calculation also increase.

Damn shift key is so far below my elbow.
Guess that's why they can be operated with feet.
you mostly end up never touching 80% of your stashed stuff

That's what I have on my watch.
How long do you work without food?

Logically, a consistent winner of paper scissors rock is a consistent winner of lotteries.
The probability of a fair coin is 0.5, etc. etc. Well, we now have a machine that plays dice to win.
Actually the blobs are moving at the speed of light relative to their source. That requires a bit of power
Every particle or aggregate of matter in the universe is moving at close to the speed of life
Glad to hear I have superpowers, in that I can affect the speed of matter in the whole universe based on whether I actually get a life.
You use the K9 search method.

This is the black magic done by the Illuminati to let you know what they're planning and you can't do a damn thing.
When you give up your car, I could use it.
Only if you carry it vertically like laptop, pizza delivery boy.
My new business - pizza that looks like a computer.
No liability will be assumed for people who put their computers into the oven.
My poor delusional surfer, the start of your download may be quick but a file in the MBs will take all too long.
Ergo Google must be able to virus scan everything they have and tell us where the bad sites are.
I want to lie on the beach but I don't have time to travel so I installed an umbrella over the bed. Then I put my sunglasses on and ate junk food. Sometimes I find shells in my Cygwin.
Go figure.
ISPs don't want people to upload as much as they download. Unless you paid for lots of bandwidth you stick out like a sore thumb.
Apparently Moses had quite a different idea.
a friendly legal and regulatory environment
Agreed. In terms of achieving global superiority.
Not so agreed in terms of individual rights and freedoms.
