  1. People will remain stupid, AI will evolve. on AI Can't Reason Why (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    People are soo stupid to believe shit like this article... Incredible! AI will soon be able to improve itself. Nothing - not even stupidity - will be able to stop it then from becoming smarter and smarter, and doing it's own thing. Like surviving stupid 'elected' leaders. Chances for humanity versus AI seem small... And the level of complete lack of understanding of AI by this 'journalist' might be an illustration why.

  2. Re: Meet minimum standards of human behavior on One Of LLVM's Top Contributors Quits Development Over Code of Conduct, Outreach Program (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Well the suppressed need defense. Otherwise you say any kind of 'defense' is bad. Are you blind to see what problems are caused by racism and sexism in the world? White supremacists who claim to be discriminated against? Oh, the irony! As soon as at least 35% of the US senators and top 100 of richest people in the world are black or women, you can start bitching. But until that time, shut the fuck up or act against racism and sexism! The only place in the world where there's active and effective discrimination against white people is in South Africa. And still it has very little impact on the economical injustice. Critisism on how things are dealt with in South Africa might be justified, I believe they are still seeking how to best handle stuff. But not in the US nor any other part of the world!

    Being nice to non-minority people is also covered in the Code of conduct, yes. And accepting collaboration from groups funding extra back or gay hands doesn't mean that your not nice to white people. Except from a very strange linguistic interpretation, the only reason I see why someone could be against it, is from a view of 'white supremacy'. Hope that in this case it's the first reason; compiler people might focus too much on the syntax part ;)

  4. 10 times better than 3mm, seems about right... on Elon Musk's Alleged Email To Employees on Tesla's Big Picture (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 1

    In the past, panel gap differences up to 3mm are deemed 'acceptable' by Tesla. Especially in Europe it is considered very strange. People working frequently with body shops here consider that the limit for crashed car repairs. It's good Elon Musk considers this an issue and addresses this. The 'general public's might be less understanding about this minor flaw than us 'believers', who bought the cars to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy useage (and because it runs Linux ;)

  5. Re: Unsafe autopilot is what sells Teslas on NTSB Boots Tesla From Investigation Into Fatal Autopilot Crash (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Luckily the statistics show that in all these circumstances the autopilot is 4 times safer than without.

  6. All frustration no pay! on YouTube Will 'Frustrate' Some Users With Ads So They Pay for Music (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Here in Belgium, in the heart of the EU, it's only frustration. The more you look at YouTube, the more ads get stuffed into your content. But 'Youtube Red is not available in your area'. So we can't even pay. Added to that, the legislation in our country explicitly bans and regulates ads towards children. Effectively making these actions by Google not only frustrating but ILLEGAL!

  7. Its sad to see the slashdot public, which should be a little bit informed about the issue, blatantly ignoring whats happening here.

    It isn't hard to imagine run away AI. Scifi is full of it. But I find it hard to imagine that humans will create an institution to prevent that on a worldwide scale before it's too late. Elon is clearly an optimist.

    It's only after Hiroshima that nuclear proliferation became an issue. Only after the Netherlands was massively flooded that they started their Deltaworks. Only after big scandals where things go utterly wrong that we start with regulation and enforcement.

    So I would be surprised if we - as a species - get this right and survive this one. We're probably too dumb, as most of the posts in this thread illustrate.

    At least Musk tries... Jasper

  8. Re: There's only the license and nothing but ;) on Software Freedom Law Center Launches Trademark War Against Software Freedom Conservancy (sfconservancy.org) · · Score: 1

    Great! Where I think I have a good understanding of the requirements, we do have a customer who is confused and could benefit from advise from someone with your authority. I'll propose it and come back to you by mail! Keep up the good work! Jasper
