As much as I await the promised low latency 5G, i do not believe it will enough for gaming. Games today already have about 100ms delay between controller and action on screen. Bluetooth controllers and whole stacks for HID devices etc all adds up. It's already near unacceptable. You put cloud between that, it's not gonna work. Home fiber already gets 1-6ms ping times, yet we don't see massive streaming happening. And a lot of companies have tried. Maybe if they did a complete end to end overhaul, from game - device - network - servers and back.
Working on horrendous legacy code, we did a whole system rewrite and saw our server costs cut in half. Our main expenses are staff wages and server costs. Performance is a real issue.
Apparently Google has the AI which makes it tremendously simpler to scan and label millions of photos somehow./s
No people will still do the bit with the scanning and labeling. But they will also use AI to generate more labels. Which requires more people but special Google kind of people
This. Its a complete publicity stunt by the Norwegians saying this hasn't been done before. While technically may be correct, there is no way they didn't know about Saildrone and what they have been doing for years
I'm more interested in the display. Can't wait for cheap spare parts. Until now the largest e-ink display you could get was from a 13" $700 Sony e-reader. Or settle for a 6" $50 Kindle
How do you share files over wifi on Windows? I'm always baffled by this. Ethernet is literally "older than internet" yet every windows release breaks compatibility with previous versions and even within same version it kinda never works. How? Why?
Also, i would like to add that for years there has been an even better system. They put the keys on a SIM card and you don't even need your ID card or the reader. It's called mobile-id and it's awesome. Whenever you need to authenticate yourself there's an API call to the central system, which sends you an SMS. A tiny program on the SIM card prompts you for your PIN number and sends back the response. Bank transfer on my mobile is almost as simple as a debit payment at a cash register: enter recipient and amount, enter your PIN. done
It always amazes me when americans debate electronic voting. Of course it's bad if you use 15 year old servers from the local city council. Now you guys are thinking of creating a biometric identification system? Who comes up with this? Why not have a simple PKI setup and hand out ID cards?
A reader costs $10. Everyone has them.
No papers, no signatures, no fuzzy biometrics. File taxes in 1 minute.
No credit cards, only debit. Authenticate instantly and securely. No credit fraud. No identity theft.
Vote from home in 5minutes. Only way to make it more secure is to add a blockchain. Maybe next election?
That's pretty cool, i never thought about that. I guess until then, all space flights were one-off deals with no room for bargaining. Goes to show the difference between state financing and capitalism.
Gone are the days where people wanted to design a better product, and money was just a side effect of succeeding at that.
While I generally agree, I wish someone from the 1920s would see this comment. The wizards from the future whine how their magic boxes can't be held to their ridiculously high standard.
Gone are the days where everything was universally shitty. Instead everything is a slight variation of absolutely amazing.
That said, coil whine drives me crazy.
As a former-soviet-state citizen, I think it's because of "deficit". A very well known word for soviet people. You couldn't get anything. Food, clothes, household items. Everything was in deficit. And it came in batches, so you needed to go on hunting trips around town to find some new item in a shop.
So naturally, computers were a deficit when I grew up (20-30 years ago). You didn't go to a shop to buy new one. You got an old one from an institution and made do. You got bits and pieces and hacked something together. Software: obviously piracy. Who pays for software!? With piracy comes lots of little hacks and cracks, you get to know and learn the systems. You don't have a support line which caters everything on a silver platter.
I don't know. It just feels like this hacking and cracking mentality is coming from that.
What would be interesting is letting AI observe the emotions and then letting it choose content to affect those emotions, to learn how it's actions affect the emotions. It's sort of a communication. Like you're talking to the news.

It's definitely going to get net-neutrality flavored special treatment
He's talking about interpolation and it does not slow things down, just adds another delay. We're talking about delay here, not throughput

It seems to me most cotchas appear in legacy functions. New features are actually modern and well designed.

If you're going to compare it to PlayStation VR that's tethered to a console box, you might as well compare it to the Rift which is tethered to a PC
I don't know who this creimer is but.. are you him? If so then brilliant
That's probably it

This is not for linux desktop. This is so valve can build a console for their huge library without paying Microsoft licensing fees
Instant international publicity
It might mean it can only travel in 2 directions: forward and right. To make a left it needs yo make 3 right turns

Requires PIN1 to identify yourself, PIN2 to sign documents. 3 wrong tries blocks the chip. Go to your local police department to apply for a new card.

This. I heard that t-cell therapy currently only works on blood cancers. I guess because you can just inject it and it doesn't need targeting
this is what it looks like http://i.imgur.com/78C1K68.jpg
That'll be $35,000 in legal costs
