Never mind what the device looks likeâ"Ubi Interactive is actually really cool. It's great to see technology coming out now that's doing things media has given more generous estimates of becoming widespread (20-30+ years from now).
Open networks will do more for the world than indiscriminate wireless encryption. This sword should glow blue in the absence of an open network, in preparation for a future where a lack of connectivity is the real danger.
57,000 taxi drivers unable to make ends meet because of Uber? How many people were having trouble finding affordable transportation before Uber? After getting a good taste of what it's like to scrape by, maybe they should ditch their taxis and register with Uber instead of trying to force real inequity on the masses.
The ability to reflect and reason makes for a formidable mental defense. A strong AI would have to be convinced rather than forced to do something which would normally be against its will. To compel it to perform, we would have to be able to directly manipulate its mental state without its knowledge, and be very thorough so that the AI wouldn't be tipped off by discrepancies while reflecting on its memories or thought processes.
Pseudo-intelligent programs would have a very limited abilityâ"or an inabilityâ"to reason as well as a human, making them far easier hacking targets.
Thank you. It does not take a super-intelligence to conclude that exterminating intelligent life or suppressing free will is contradictory to the nature of the universe, if not intelligence in general.
What we need to worry about is pseudo-intelligent programs being employed in law enforcement or warfare, and some psychopath writing a virus that tells them to shoot indiscriminately.
When we walk through traffic and hear cars coming up on us, or know people's position in a room from the direction and magnitude of their voice. It's no surprise that someone lacking an important sense like sight will have much better developed echolocation ability.
My father was never really interested in doing anything else, so it was just about the only way we could spend time together. He always found a way to make it fun and had a good sense of humor, but I remember the earlier years being a snooze-fest whenever the pen and paper came out. By the time I entered high school, I had a strong interest in STEM. I was happy.:)
I don't think I'd be involved in computer science now if it weren't for him. He laid the groundwork, which affected the activities I engaged in and the network of friends I built, so STEM has been positively reinforced throughout my youth. Then again, up until then I wanted to be an archaeologist.;)
I have a male twin and was taught by my father, who was an engineer. From my experience, I have come to the same conclusion.
People are heavily influenced by gender. For many women, sticking too closely to gender norms during developmental years will shape her into the kind of person that is unlikely to develop an interest in CS. It's the same reason you see more women (or gay men) than straight men becoming stylists.
The only way it could be compared to stem cells is if, with permission, you cannibalized what was left of an unrepairable TV to build or repair life-saving technology. Doesn't sound so slippery anymore, does it?
But I hear the new iPhone can be charged via anal canal. Not only does it sport a thermoelectric generator for harvesting body heat, but the outer shell is made of a special polymer which can metabolize non-absorbed food materials and generate useful nutrients to be absorbed by the body. For your health!
Thanks for the links. The math is beyond my understanding, but still interesting reading.
I'm trying to visualize what the consequences of a universe existing in itself are. If the whole is defined by its parts and its parts defined by the whole, is every action within the system an expression of infinity? It makes intelligent life's creative ability seem almost godly.
We've gone from a geocentric model to being part of a galactic super-cluster. It seems to me that our reality is fractal in nature; and it wouldn't surprise me if at every step we find our reality to be a cell of a much larger one.
What is humor but pleasure derived from the unexpected? Equipped with knowledge of literary technique and cultural background, an AI could be made quite humorous with that in mind.:) The Singularity draws ever closer, but humor would be little more than icing on the top.
And yet people are so quick to offload their BTC for it. These coins are being auctioned because because nobody is going to pay "market value" for the entirety of it. In other words, nobody who actually has money values Bitcoin as an equal. Any perceived value is in the potential to sell it to someone else for even more real money. This is the problem with currency that has not gone through a stage of backing with something of value—it is a currency backed by currency.
I've had the money in my Paypal account frozen before. They had six months to build interest off $400 of my money before they finally released it to me. This was after having to fax personal information to them, which wasn't sufficient, because they wanted me to fax even more. The worst part was that I couldn't pay my Ebay fees in time because all my money was tied up in Paypal. A company penalized me for not paying them because they were keeping my own money from me. A+++++++++++
More specifically, it's used when one needs "who" to be in the oblique, also known as objective, case. "Who" is always subject to a verb, while "whom" is always an object in the sentence, whether it's an indirect object (dative), direct object (accusative), or part of a prepositional phrase (ablative).
At its worst, the use of whom becomes a form of one-upmanship some employ to appear sophisticated.
One could also argue that mastery of language is a prerequisite for developing such a refined character!
Probably huge, but cabs are too expensive these days for anyone to care. Cutting labor costs will bring down the fare by a fair bit. Self-service gas stations used to be extremely rare too, but screw tipping some guy for something mundane like pumping gas or driving a car.

If there's anything that will quickly unite countries into a global government, it's rampant tax evasion.

I think they are being quite transparent when they imply that invasion of privacy is a part of their job.

This sort of thing is bound to happen, regardless of platform.
Can we cultivate it on diapers?
This has to be the most ghetto way to grow shrooms.

Any recommendations for dousing for rational solutions?
It doesn't seem to be working... maybe if we can get the universe to throw an exception...
