I'm wondering what text they are using to train the AI about what was said. I sure hope it isn't the closed captioning text on the news broadcasts. In my experience that is only about 50% accurate itself.
I guess for the exact same reasons that the snowflakes that sued the university did just use it themselves. Like it isn't really ready yet, isn't very accurate (particularly when used on academic subjects) and just wouldn't work. Maybe the snowflakes can sue someone for not providing them the magic software, since, after all, they want it.
Your wishing such things on people reveals what a bitter hateful person you are. Actually, I do have a handicap, and in fact it is hearing loss, exactly the issue here. Mine is not complete, but severe enough that I watch TV and movies with closed captioning on. But I'm not damaged enough that I would say that if I can't hear something then no one else should be able to either.
Yes. How dare a University say "We have all of this valuable information recorded on video and we are going to give it away to anyone for free.".. It is really great that a couple of handicapped people were able to say "If we can enjoy it as much as you then no one should be able to see it".. This result will really empower people. I'm colorblind and I'm going to sue all of the movie studios and TV stations for presenting their product in color. If I can't see the shows in full color them they should all be forced to present the shows in only black and white so we can all be equal. Screw you, you non-colorblind elitists.
Two handicapped snowflakes sue the university because the videos didn't have closed captioning in them and therefore they discriminated against the handicapped. The university look at what it would cost to add captioning to what they were giving away for free and decided it wasn't worth it. So if the handicapped don't get it, you can't have it either. No surprise here, this was an anticipated resulted when the Americans With Disabilities act was passed. Makes about as much sense as forcing the government to built expensive wheelchair ramps on buildings in a national park that can only be reached by hiking trails.
Quoting from Wikipedia (which is well known for never being wrong): "Ultima Underworld has been cited as the first role-playing game to feature first-person action in a 3D environment, and it introduced technological innovations such as allowing the player to look up and down.". I remembering seeing it just before I saw Wolfenstein, and it was much richer. In addition to being able to look up and down, the playing surface wasn't all on the same level, you could step up or down (I don't think that paths could actually cross over each other, although I'm not certain of that), and walls were not always of straight unit lengths, there were curved walls and other refinements that made Wolfenstein look crude. Of course, it was a commercial game and Wolfenstein was shareware (for the first part) so Wolfenstein got lots more play and attention.
He wrote a 3d shooter. He certainly didn't invent the 3D shooter. There were other, better, richer, shooters out there when his first shooter came out. What he did bring to the table was a shareware shooter (shareware for the first part anyway) and a system where others could build additional levels for his products.
Getting them there is only a small part of the problem. The real issue is that Australia can throw lots of roadblocks in Elon's way, from customs to building permits. And there is a hell of a difference between delivering enough batteries in the stated time and building up a power system to use them. I think Musk's ego go the better of him here and he shot off his mouth too fast. Betting that you can do something in 100 days or it is free against the very people who can block you at every move isn't the smartest thing to do.
OK. I hear you. You are saying that there are some nonsense videos on the Internet, therefore no video can be trusted, not even ones made by NASA engineers. Thanks for clearing that up.
Even if there is a god and an Easter Bunny and we made it ti the moon 48 years ago, you don't get to plant a flag, abandon the place, and then get indignant if someone else gets there and tries to claim it. In addition to stupid statements that the U.S. made at the time, we failed to colonize the moon. If you want to claim ownership of a place you have got to go in and kill the natives and start exploiting it. We dropped the ball on any claim to the moon. Get over it.
We need to give tax money rebates to the rich people who can afford a Tesla, and we need to have more special taxes on these cars while we are at it since they don't pay the road taxes that are built into the purchase of gasoline. And while we are at it we might as well force big brother GPS systems on people to report wen and where they go because, well, there must be some good reason and besides we can.
Remember last year when they just gave nominations to good shows and performances and the racists got all in people's faces about how unfair that was? So now in over reaction the Oscars gave Best Picture to a movie that few will ever see. Think about how much your life has been impacted by the Oscar goof this year (meaning announcing the wrong winner, not the goof of giving it to Moonlighting in an act of appeasement) and you'll eventually realize that if the awards no longer matter then the cards that the winners are written on don't matter either.

In other words, a racist organization. What outrage there would be if I ran a similar organization for white programmers. But this is apparently not only OK, I expect that I'll also get modded down for even mentioning it.
It looks like Wu is just trying to give me false hope. After all, how could anyone target the sodomites and perverts with such rocks? It isn't like they all cluster together in specific cities like San Francisco or Austin Tx. or Chapel Hill N.C. where the problem could be easily resolved.
Even I can see through this lie. It's really just Maxwell's daemon sorting molecules. Just another BS story on Slashdot that will get hype for a few days and then no product will ever come to market. An obvious clue that even the "inventors" know this is complete bullshit is the claim "All the work is done by the huge temperature difference, about 290C, between the surface of the Earth and that of outer space,". Is anyone buying that crap? 'cause if you don't then it is pretty obvious this can't work.
Slashdot Mirror
So I guess we are not counting the NSA's code breaking quantum computer. Why not? I might be classified as secret, but it's hardly secret.
They are gonna catch Obama now!

Hopefully you'll get handicapped some day ....

Why would there be any hate speech? Personally I love the fascist Nazis in Germany who have decided that they get to control what others say.
Ultima Underworld
Maybe, I overstated. Ultima was all of that, but maybe it was the only one.

You should let NASA know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
The joke will be o them when they find out humans can't survive above low earth orbit or pass through the Van Allen belt.

Really not useful since, like Google, most other mail services limit the size of attachments too.
Thank you moderators for proving me right.
