    Interesting proposition. The reverse could also be approximated: how many people would the power used by this system represent?

  6. It's worst than that on OpenAI Built Gaming Bots That Can Work As a Team With Inhuman Precision (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    The AI's learned the equivalent of 180 years of gameplay for every day it trained.

    And the AI's will never forget even the smallest detail and always use its knowledge to 100% efficiency.

    If it was confined to games it would already be scary enough. Now imagine the same thing being applied to AI connected to real-life machines.

    Indeed. The problem isn't the limits of 16-bit. The problem is the loudness war.

  9. Re:Any bets on price? I say $299. on Apple To Unveil High-End AirPods, Over-Ear Headphones For 2019 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    At $299 for headphones they would be in the same price range as some Bose and Sennheiser headphones. The Bose QuietComfort 25 aren't cheap. Let's just see if Apple can at least equal Bose in the active noise cancellation department.

    Your post sounds like a derivative of the Crunchy Frog ad.

  11. The Mac mini? You mean the Mac that hasn't been updated since 2012?

    That's a computer that's six years old, which makes me wonder why Tim Cook went on stage and said that people using five years old computers was "sad". He's an iPad-centric hypocrite.

  12. Noise cancellation? on Apple To Unveil High-End AirPods, Over-Ear Headphones For 2019 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The Cupertino, California-based company is working on new AirPods with noise-cancellation and water resistance. There are over-ear headphones coming from Apple, too. Those will compete with pricey models from Bose Corp. and Sennheiser.

    Let's assume their headphones will also have noise cancellation, the real question is - will their noise-cancelling headphones be better than Bose? You may not like the Bose audio quality but they are the king of noise cancellation.

    Canada has lots of power. Most of it is built out using parts from the US.

    Yes, but the production of the energy itself is under our control.

    Think of it as "buying a software license that works forever" vs "paying a monthly fee to be able to use the software you need".
