Even then, we would first need to know how to build a self-sustaining robot factory. Or any self-sustaining factory for that matter. Right now factories depend on logistics and infrastructure more than anything: No roads, rails, ports --> no products.
No, we have a very good idea how close we are to human-level AI: Infinite far away. We do not even know the fully capabilities of the human brain yet, despite huge progress in the last year. Some things are just as much of a mystery as they were 100 years ago. The artificial neuronal nets are crude oversimplified approaches to how neurons work. They are the dot-shaped cows in a vacuum, nothing more.
To have real AI we first need to have I (that is, to really understand how intelligence works).
Throwing more computing power at machine learning and implementing minor tweaks will not yield a real, strong AI.
The guy who ignores the fact that no one is currently researching strong AI accuses the guy who uses actual AI (well, enhanced pattern matching really) of having a limited understanding of the subject??
Lets face it: To have killer robots and the like as Musks imagines, we need to have a strong AI, of course we need to also have it go off the rails for some mysterious reason (whatever reason that causes this behaviour in movies wont cause it in reality), but first of all we need human-like AI. This is a bit of a problem as we only have very, very limited understanding of natural Intelligence and no plan or clue how to even start implementing artificial intelligence. People have been falling for the "ZOMFG AI nau!" hype since the creation of Eliza. But so far neither the formal knowledge systems pre-AI-winter nor the deep learning and neurnal nets approaches have yielded anything more than very sophisticated pattern matching algorithms. Take Googles Go engine: Impressive but it can play Go and only Go. Proof: they now have to spend a long time to retrain it for other tasks. This is not at all what the general population (and Elon) understands by AI.
No, its Firefox. I am using uBlock Origin and NoScript. The former without exceptions and the latter with only allowing scripts that are absolutely necessary for a website to function. Any ads, tracking, etc... is not allowed to run.
So they are going back to how it used to be? I recall having hundred(s) of tabs open. Back in 2006 on a single-core centrino Laptop with a whoping 2GB of ram and a terrific ATI x700 GPU. No issues were had. Then they brought in the UX-torturers, started with their ridiculous high version numbers and it all went downhill from there.
Another evidence for the complete bias of the capitalistic West against Russia. They are investigating the Fidget spinners after Reports claim that they gayify youth. The legitimate threat of the homofication of a whole generation prompted our dear and belived Czar Putin to act on behelf of this glorious nation.
Gawker has zero shit to do with anything resembling journalism. Gawker (and all its subsites) is just industrialized slander, nothing more. If the HH-case were the first mistake they made, I would think different, but this case was really just the straw that broke the donkeys back. 10 years of abuse towards its interns, readers, the general public, gun owners, photographs... that finally came crashing down.
They were one of those street thugs that thought messing with a made man was a good idea to show everyone how tough they are. Now they lie in the ditch with a hole in the head and whine about it.
A monster in a horror flick does not become the innocent final girl just because it has flayed her and now wears her skin and face; Gawker is not journalism even though they occasionally employ journalistoid techniques.
Wait, formal proofs in Ada? Are you sure you did not mean Agda?
I think too that Ada would be a great replacement for C and that its type system is quite powerful, but formal proofs should probably be left to Agda, Coq and maybe Haskell.
The problem is the imbalance that is not present with a minimum wage. Sure I can start paying much more than the market average, and I might have success with it, see Ford. But with minimum wage I know that there is no huge corporation that is warping the market by paying significantly less than the livable wage.
I call bullshit hat huge minimum wages are automatically bad. This is only a gut feeling and not really corroborated by hard evidence. Switzerland for example discussed a minimum wage of around 28 CHF (more or less 28 USD), this would not have been a big increase and in some cases would have been a decrease to what is being paid. Lidl, a German discounter franchise pays its cashiers (typical minimum wage receivers) 4800 CHF a month, they are currently in the process of butchering the established shops here.
Previous increases in minimum wage eliminated the truly entry level positions and the associated on the job training that would have allowed these people more freedom both to move...
Correction: Previous increases in Board-level greed and decrease in humanity have eliminated entry level positions...
Than just a plain old TBM. Yeah ok, so he is drilling tunnels with it, but I dont see any differences to any other run of the mill TBM out there. Elon being Elon, I would have expected at least a plasma drill or maybe even better, a subterrene: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What the hell would he know about leaving earth, dude cannot even leave his wheelchair.
Joke aside: This, like his rant about the dangers of AI when no general AI is even being developed, shows that brilliant people can be utter morons as soon as they leave their areas of expertise.
Because if it turns out that what she said was not truthful, that would only be another example of SJW-witchhunts of which we have had way too many in the past decade.
No, I am not a friend of Uber at all. While they may shake up (positively) the encrusted taxi market in some countries, in others they have shown that they are unable to play by the rules while still making money. Like in Germany.
After failing both 2008 and 2016 for the exact same reasons, namely that people really really hate her character and dishonesty, she still does not get it. I guess there really is no cure for stupidity.
And there I thought it was the conservatives that had the occasional fake-news problem
It seems impossibly hard to believe for some that Trump won because people were honesty, genuinely fed up with the alternative. Instead its one nutty conspiracy theory after the other about why he really won.
I think that the thousands of people dying from infections they caught from the designated shitting streets are a bigger problem than the few who may die by car-based pollution. Then again it might not be as glamorous for the government to announce as making every car electric.
And no this is not racism, out-door defecating is indeed a huge problem in India:
Strawman alert! We are not talking about objectively bad things like blackface (which, ironically, was very popular with blacks of that time, same reason why The Big Bang Theory is so popular with nerds I guess), we are talking about speaking the truth that offends people. There are only 2 genders: Fact! There is no such thing as mansplaining: Fact! Disagreement is not hate: Fact! Feminism has reached its goal of equal opportunity in the west decades ago: Fact!...
Intolerance towards the truth is the worst form of intolerance, its going back to even before the middle ages and antiquity.
There is not much professional journalism left in the USA to marginalize, that is the big problem. Recall the case of that supposedly innocent black teenager getting shot by an evil white neighborhood patrolmen (appologies for the lack of details, its been a while and I am not from the USA): Some TV station even got sentenced for editing the telephone call the white (well latino) guy made with 911. Or how CNN really worked hard for and earned its nickname as ClintonsNewsNetwork. The alt-right are right to call out the MSM (which I honestly just used because I was too lazy to type out Main Stream Media), unfortunately they tend to add a lot of their own bias. Occasionally it can be just as bad and on rare occasions a bit worse than the bias and subjectivity in the MSM.
I think that those conspiracy theories that are propagated by more than the usual crackpots may be a result of people realizing just how much fake news, biased news and "opinion pieces" there are in the mainstream media. They overshoot the goal and now see fake news everywhere even when in some cases there are none.
Sure, officially it is independent, but my point was that it is not at all, which is a huge problem for many people. Their money comes from the state (well it is collected with authority of the state, not like a private company), their program is set by the state (through politicians who look for a job after their term and often simply through calls or letters from politicians still in office) therefore they are state funded media by all definitions.
