How is it that most of you ACs can put together (more-or-less?) coherent sentences here on Slashdot, yet be so completely incompetent when it comes to reading comprehension? Are you using some half-assed AI to correct your spelling and grammar? Would the uncorrected post look like LEET-speak? Did you start working at the Jiffy Lube after you dropped out of grammar school, is that the problem? How do you even work a computer being this dumb?
I didn't want to have anything to do with so-called 'autonomous cars' before, and I sure as fuck won't want to have anything to do with it if one of the biggest enemies of the West is going to have this much to do with it. I sure hope for Volkswagens' sake they audit every single line of code that comes out of China.
Hey, UK: You do know this will only stop the most casual and unintelligent of underage kids from seeing porn, right?
They'll use TOR, or a VPN, or a proxy, or get access to someone else's 'porn license', and that'll just cover the actual out-and-out porn sites, it won't cover all the other sites that can have porn on them, or Torrenting porn, and so on, and so on.
Meanwhile, where are UK parents, whose job it really is supposed to be to monitor their kids' accessing of the Internet in the first place?
Let's just be frank about this, UK legislators: what you're really doing here, is trying to legislate morality. Your 'age verification' requirement is really just a 'shame factor', to discourage people from accessing pornography entirely, regardless of age, by requiring them to reveal themselves in a public setting. You're just hiding this effort behind the age-old 'think of the children!' tactic.
Then, of course, there's the age-old problem of defining what is and is not 'pornography': basically, you can't. It's literally in the eye of the beholder. So then your 'protect the children from pornography' law will be used for censorship of any number of things on the Internet that you Torries find 'objectionable'. Wonder how long it'll be, before that turns into censoring any and all criticism of the Government?
But I digress. Enjoy your wasted Taxpayer money and wasted effort. Things like this flavor of censorship have been tried before, and they never work.
I remember when I was a kid going to the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and among other wondrous things, seeing a crickets' leg connected to a couple electrodes. You had a control for frequency and another for amplitude of the signal being sent through the electrodes to the cricket leg, and as you 'tuned' it, you'd make the let twitch in various ways. Very much a dead cricket-leg, but it was still capable of contracting the muscles, given the right stimumlus. Why should brain cells be any different? I'm not saying you can necessarily restore a previously-dead brain to full functioning, but what they describe in this article? Why not. Biology is just applied physics and applied chemistry after all, it's not like there's 'magic' involved. Besides which: 'magic' is just 'science' you don't understand yet.
They do this, it'll become Target Number One for every hacker and hacking organization on the planet, like an Eagle Scout Merit Badge for hackers. Just imagine it: a giant ASCII penis in your night sky. Or "KILL {insert country leader name here}". Political propaganda.
Overall? Worst idea EVER. This is graffitti on a cosmic scale. Should not be allowed.
I think you need to drop this or I might get the idea you're Just Another Internet Troll, because you're going on about it well beyond what I consider reasonable.
*shrug* whatev. I'm glad I don't get paid to code for a living and I'm glad I made that decision a long time ago. I'd rather work with hardware anyway. Also if I ever wanted to write anything serious I'd use C anyway not Python. Despite the legitimate business uses for it I take Python about as seriously as I'd take BASIC today.
..but I would also question why you're creating a one-item tuple in the first place.
It was someone else's test script, and I needed it to run a single temperature test on a DUT, not multiple temperatures. It couldn't be rewritten just to avoid this it had to be run with minimal modifications.
"I personally think that being able to work 996 is a huge blessing," he said in remarks posted on the company's WeChat account. "Many companies and many people don't have the opportunity to work 996," Ma said. "If you don't work 996 when you are young, when can you ever work 996?"
No shit, I read this and thought "this bastard sounds like an internet troll". What a total piece of shit this guy is. No wonder workers in China commit suicide, who wouldn't being treated that way?
If there was ever a cautionary tale of a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future, it'd be one where Trump gets another 4 years to continue destroying the United States and torturing human beings.
Because that would be ONE robot with MANY appendages, not MANY robots.
I think perhaps you're just another iteration of the shitty, half-assed excuse for 'AI' they keep trotting out, because your comment exhibits a distinct lack of actual cognition.
You can't 'teach' the shitty half-assed excuse for 'AI' to do any of those things because it has no capacity to THINK and never will using the current approach. We don't even know how *we* 'think' so how does anyone expect these ridiculous excuses for 'intelligence' to do it?
*weary sigh* listen buddy it won't work plain and simple, basic arithmetic will show it'll bankrupt the country in the first year or two that on top of everything else I've ever said shows it just will not work I wish you people would just accept reality and more on, please?
I have to admit that after 20 years of dealing with Windows to the point where it was childs' play I have to struggle a little with non-routine tasks and problems with Ubuntu but I know it's worth it in the long run and so far I've been able to solve 99% of anything that comes up. Com-port problems with WINE are still kicking my ass though, as are com-port problems in general.
..or was it? YOU decide.
Meanwhile the members of The Resistance who were responsible for this have been rounded up and 're-educated' in Facebooks' private re-education (blacksite) facility, no doubt. Or perhaps straight into unmarked graves.
Only people who have no concept of 'respect' would say what you just said.
If you're going to make 'public appearances' to get people's votes, then you have to make a public appearance, not mock them by sending a 'hologram'.
If he can't be bothered to make the effort then why should anyone believe he'll make the effort as POTUS either?
Won't happen anyway. UBI is a dark Pipe Dream, that alone guarantees his failure.
That was the second thing I thought of.
The first thing I thought of, was "..he's for UBI? Well that excludes him from serious consideration, he's obviously either delusional or wants to destroy the United States".
UBI won't work. Period. Why? Look at how rich kids, who have never had to work a day in their lives, being handed everything gratis, act: entitled, spoiled, lazy ('work' would be a totally alien concept to them), despotic. Now imagine a low-rent version of that. That's what the fist generation raised in a world of UBI would be like. We'd ruin the country, we'd ruin entire generations of kids. Nope, nope, nope.
In my last job I had to learn some Python.
Python kinda gives me an icecream headache. When I spent an hour trying to figure out why the code blew it's brains out when I took a three-element array and put only ONE element in it, I wanted to grab the workstation and defenestrate it.
So I started with something like: temp[-10, 50, 110] ..and needed it to be something like this: temp[50] ..which, in any sane language (like C/C++), would've been fine, but in Python? Oh, no no no!
In Python, it had to be like this: temp[50,]
Mind: BLOWN. *facepalm*
The three main features of Python so far as I can see, are:
1. You don't have to compile it to executable code, it's an interpreted language, everything is plaintext
2. You more-or-less can't completely crash the whole computer running Python code
3. It's more-or-less BASIC for the 21st Century, any fool can learn to code in it.
Otherwise if I was writing something that needed speed, small size, direct hardware access, and so on? C/C++ or Assembly.
'Microsoft' and 'security' in the same sentence? AAAHahahahahaha, that's hilarious, my sides, they're exploding, I'm laughing so hard!
The only 'security' I'd want if I had to use Windows anymore (and I don't; Ubuntu master-race, here) is securing it against Microsoft intrusion into my computer that I bought and paid for. Bugger off Microsoft.

First taste is cheap, people. Just like everyone else, they'll let you get all settled in, then start jacking up the price. 'Cord cutters', indeed.
