  1. I am paying $100 a month for basic+ cable and another $100 for Internet.

    Cable companies can't die fast enough.

    And they intend to be the ones to release the nanobots to kill everyone except dear leader for life.

    Why are you even talking. Whatever else, China is economically more free than it was, and is reaping the rewards. Is that "less corruption"? I dunno, but your comment is useless.

  4. Some robo-trolling is to discourage participation in erudite discussion sites. This state-sponsored trolling furthers the dictatorship.

    Is Slashdot even looking into this?

  5. comma he typed on his phone and pressed send, then went off to get a pizza and not stand in line for bread somewhere, like his boss Vlad would have him do.

  6. This board is lousy with state-sponsored disruption trolls.

    Slashdot, are you even trying to investigate this?

  7. This is some troll, leaping from hot button topic to topic.

  8. It isn't just "savages", but any defeated society takes on a connotation of nobility, fierce, great fighters, and so on. In spite of the generally positive nature of the beliefs, it is a kind of reverse racism.

    Crimean Warriors, anyone?

  9. It begins.

    Giant Internet gateway providers begin filtering content (that isn't inherently illegal.)

  10. Re:What? on Three European Countries Block Tax On Tech Giants (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    This arena never existed before. Politicians don't want to tax it to balance the budget. They want to tax it to have another wad to spend and then apppend the current borrowing on top of it.

    The rhetoric will remain the same, which is that, in spite of times being better than ever before, the dire needs of The People are more severe than ever before.

    The proof slipped under the radar of the mathematics community for seven years -- apparently only one professional mathematician spotted it at the time, and he didn't check it carefully.

    He was too busy studying the Kim K. photos; this was before the third hip siliconization expansion.

  12. So it's basically an old-school overtraining on Opinion: Artificial Intelligence Hits the Barrier of Meaning (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wonder if these AI vision systems that input millions of images are actually doing a deep learning, or are just canvassing pretty much every image possibility such that any possible live image is just a tiny automated delta calculation away from an answer.

    This would explain why tweaking the input in the described ways would throw the AI into a tizzy -- the tweaked input isn't within a tiny delta of any of the millions of categorized images.

  13. Season one of the show, which involves time travel, had originally aired in nonchronological order

    Which isn't actually a problem for time travellers, give me a break editors!

  14. What's down, doc? on Why Doctors Hate Their Computers (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    Medicine + computer = computer

    But if I don't talk with a grody cashier while buying a poorly-mixed and watered down dier Pepsie Super Big Gulp, what kind of life will I have left?

    Is that a problem in a democracy? Normal laws people go to jail for should be done in ways that "get the politics out of it?"

    No. But nor is it beyond the reach of the FCC to add it (again), which was the point of this ruling.

  18. Image-ine that! on Why Big Tech Pays Poor Kenyans To Teach Self-Driving Cars (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder, are these AIs really learning to generalize? Or are they having millions of examples, so many that any live image must be within a tiny delta of a known image?

    Roads are primarily for movement of commerce. People driving home are secondary. Cyclists don't even show up on radar.

    Pretty much this. Both parties saw doom on the horizon for social security when the boomers started retiring, which is now. So either inconceivable borrowing or taxing (2 workers per retiree ain't gonna fly, old man) or import young workers hand over fist.

    Nobody cared until (and this is debatable) one party decided, or was accused of shifting its voting base to the newbies.

    True or not, that is the prime motivator of the politics of the day. Enjoy.

  21. The aliens in Independence Day never stood a chance.

    You only think that's not the real reason behind almost all legislation.

    In about 2/3 of the world, you go into government because that's where the money is -- getting in the way of business and people, so you can get paid to get back out of the way. And I'm not just talking politicians.

    It's much more restricted in the West, but far from gone.

    Don't worry about Java hackers. That's impossible. Google will make sure nobody knows what you do except them, their gigantic advertising database putting you into advertsing categories based on automated analysis of every web page you visit even in incognito mode because the site probably tells then anyway, a million companies and advertisers, and the government.
