It's for developers. Developers are very often developing apps for multiple OSs. This makes doing that, easier, because it allows them to stay within one environment.
Damn you! I came to say the same thing. Maybe Amazon can start doing home improvements too. To install 6 windows and put vinyl siding on my 1,600 sq ft home, Sears wanted $45,000. Amazon would probably only charge $8,000 and give me free shipping. I'm a prime member, so...
You know, these ISPs have the ability to see encrypted data, right? I mean, legal or not, they CAN do it. Maybe they do it sometimes, if they feel suspicious about certain traffic, dunno. And so, maybe, rather than go through the whole legal system, they just include a bit in their terms of service that says that if you pirate stuff, they kick you. Then later, all they have to do is say, "We think you're pirating stuff, you're banned." and then it's up to you to bring it to court if you feel the need.
This is almost along the same lines, logically, as yelling threats of murder at someone, getting arrested for it, and then claiming you have rights to free speech.
We need definitions in the more productive, concrete, and probably simulable/testable "cognitive science" terms.
Right, that's the whole problem. Mankind has yet to understand itself! However, the longer mankind tries to create AI, the more mankind will be forced to understand it's Self, and work these things out. And once they do that, they'll conclude that AI is unnecessary.
One thing that needs to be crystal clear. We do not have to achieve qualia of consciousness for an AI to understand the world.
My conscious experience probably differs from yours - probably everyone has a different conscious experience. What I know about consciousness is that it's one of 4 pieces of 1 part of what we are. Those pieces are:
Ego
Mind
Intelligence
Consciousness
In order for you to have any piece of any of that, you need at least a little bit of the others.
All I need to get "understanding" into the AI is to give it a self-model...
Maybe you can enlighten us as to how you plan to set parameters for this AI's "self". Perhaps you could even give us an example of one of your own (very un-snowflakish human) parameters of self. And don't forget that our (very un-snowflakish human) consciousness is itself comprised of subtler levels of consciousness (both lower and higher).
You and I are Americans, and we're both far better than hypocrites. So when hypocrites come over, we can help them to understand that not all Americans are evil/satan. The best way to do this is with universal love. The first step to universal love is universal acceptance. No need to accept people for any specific reason, other than that they're imperfect humans, like you and me.
Luckily that was still the time you where a wizzkid if you could start up a computer.
Many IT managers where selected/apointed, because...
They where the people who called and asked to change the private IP ranges, because they had mistyped...
Where = "Where are all of my friends?"
Were = "All my friends were out back."
I'm really bitching out for "Informative" points, eh? Well anyway:
Elsevier is an information and analytics company and one of the world's major providers of scientific, technical, and medical information. It was established in 1880 as a publishing company. It is a part of the RELX Group, known until 2015 as Reed Elsevier.
Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Revenue: 2.48 billion GBP (2017)
CEO: Ron Mobed (Aug 2012–)
Parent organization: RELX Group
Subsidiaries: Cell Press, Current Opinion, MORE
Imprints: Academic Press, Mosby, Churchill Livingstone, Saunders, Pergamon Press
I thought these 3 bits were worth pointing out to those that never read the articles:
The Wellcome Trust, which gave out £1.1 billion (US$1.4 billion) in grants in 2016–17, is also the first funder to detail how it intends to implement Plan S. Its approach suggests that journals may not need to switch wholesale to open-access (OA) models by 2020 to be compliant with Plan S — if the initiative’s other backers decide on a similar line.
The biomedical charity already has an OA policy, but in some cases it allows an embargo of up to six months after publication before papers have to be made free to read. The organization says that by 1 January 2020, it will ban all such embargoes.
Wellcome-funded work will not be able to appear in Nature, Science and other influential subscription journals unless these publications permit Wellcome-funded papers to be published under OA terms (Nature’s news team is editorially independent of its publisher, Springer Nature).
Whether you change your work schedule or a clock, what's the difference to you? Both are silly to me. The movement here isn't against clocks or work times, but rather changing ANYTHING to do with time at all. We want to stop pretending like the sun coming up earlier or going down later affects anything but plants.
Just think, willy-nilly, we change clocks back or forward a whole hour, and we don't even do this world-wide. If we can do this - change time itself, something that has such a heavy importance in every society - couldn't we change any societal norm at the drop of a hat?
But, careful with that ax Eugene, once something's set into society, it's hard to change it, regardless how ridiculous it is.
If you've got an extra box laying around, it's worth installing slackware with KDE. When I first started using slackware, in 2007(?) I only used it as a mail/ftp/dns server, and router, so I only ever used ssh to conenct, and it was all command line from there. Then around 2012 I decided to try to ditch windows, and loaded up the latest version at the time (I think it was slackware 13.2) and loaded the desktop. I was not very impressed, but fought through it anyway. Now it's on version 14.2, and the desktop environment is much better. Most all hardware is usable now:)
Slackware still installs (as default option) and runs KDE very well. And if you like installing everything from source, like me, then slackware's great, even if it'll probably die in a few years.
And thanks to Red Hat for giving us all a 5-year heads-up.
Because technology. WOOP WOOP!! Some head at the school probably had to spend money on some new technology upgrades to keep the school at the cutting edge of...whatever. Seems pretty standard that every piece of electronics in the world has to be upgraded into oblivion every few years, even something as trivial as cables (don't get me started on software).
I feel ya, but when your sig says "In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you" then you have to admit there may be a reason for a slightly different usage of the word 'evil' that you just don't associate with, but is still valid for others to associate with.
Actually, yes. I mean at least as far as food and things go. And just like any other community that achieves a constant food supply, mixed with a constant supply of things, the Americans are striving be entertained. And just like every other community that's striving to be entertained, there need be no limit to the vast expansion of "what's entertaining", no matter how perverted. And so this will continue until some natural course resets it all.
It's the communities that aren't striving to be entertained, that are entertained by the little things in life, thus they enjoy things more. Americans have all the food and stuff that life requires, and yet they're mostly hateful towards themselves and others. Whereas communities where the main portion of time is spent in order to get food and things are mostly loving toward themselves, and others.
So yes, it's true that things are great in America, but 'things being great' is a concept that's underdeveloped in America.
Yep. Of course my point is to not work for free. However, if you do find a reason to work for free, then there's probably a heart-felt reason to do it. And with that in mind (in heart), when whatever thing you worked on becomes successful remember that, in your heart, you got paid.
I worked for a company that hired everyone as a salary employee. This was ok when everyone was hired, but then later, some folks got pissed when they were made to travel long hours, and stay working out late. Some folks got upset and checked with a lawyer. The lawyer told them that if they could get X amount of people to start a class-action settlement. They did, and in the end, everyone got a year-and-a-half pay, and the lawyers got a third of it all. This was setup that way to enable people to get a year's salary, and pay their lawyers.
So sometimes, it is about getting money, and 'don't do that again'.
I worked for a company for 6 years, developed many things that helped them stay ahead of the competition, worked to develop good internal relations (in Alabama this is difficult) and educated many in other departments to fill in knowledge gaps.
I did all of this for a set price per year. Now, whatever that number is, or was, was agreed upon prior to my starting to work there. One day the company sold, and the owner made millions, and I got none of it. But I never expected to get anything of the company's either, because I already agreed to work for $DOLLARS per $TIME. I think here it's the same, no? I think they agreed to work for $DOLLARS per $TIME prior to working. Even if that number is zero, it was agreed prior to working. Maybe they expected that the company wouldn't sell.
I have contributed a little code to the open source community, and never expected to get anything in return, aside from a slightly better world around me. So I wonder how many, that gave to the efforts of Red Hat, are actually upset about the sell, and that they didn't make any money from it. Or is this just addressing a few people?

Oh stop. You know you still use Lynx once a year to get into that one stupid router.

It was monitored for signs of radio signals as weak as one-tenth of a cellphone-strength signal, but nothing was detected.
Obligatory...
