BS. You can run a TensorFlow voice recognition model on a Raspberry Pi. Google just announced an $80 USB stick (or $160 RPi-like system) with a dedicated ASIC that's even more capable.
I'm under 40, for a while longer anyway. I can code in assembly on a few different architectures, because when I learned to code, it was often necessary.
My aunt just retired and is looking for something new to do, and so I gave her some Python tutorials. She's loving it. "So much easier than when I first learned to program 100 years ago." It wasn't actually 100 years ago, but she learned to program on punch cards. Punch cards you had to physically mail to the nearest place that actually owned a computer.
It's almost enough to make you feel like some kind of god, isn't it? The world debating whether or not unbreakable encryption should "exist", and you can create it in five minutes or so any time you want.
Sadly, that's not usually way it works. Your immune system is much more successful at eliminating (or containing) infections that are not well established.
That's why it's important that the donor bone marrow has an anti-HIV mutation. You're correct that HIV is pretty good at hiding out, but it needs to reproduce in T cells. If you replace all the T cells with ones that HIV can't infect, it can't come back.
That's not really true. A cold is a disease, caused by a virus. AIDS is syndrome, not a disease. HIV disables your immune system, then various opportunistic infections all try to be the first to kill you. The latter is AIDS.
Clearing HIV is relatively simple compared to curing all the various infections an AIDS patient might have, never mind fixing all the damage they've done.
The big reason bone marrow transplants are dangerous is because you have to give the patient what is effectively a lethal dose of chemo or radiation to kill off their existing immune system. I expect the next few years will bring a cure for HIV infection that involves selectively killing off T cells with antibody therapy, then reconstituting the immune system with autologous stem cells engineered to be HIV resistant.
Immune targeted antibody therapies are already approved for multiple sclerosis and a few other autoimmune diseases. It won't be long before somebody tries it on HIV.
Huh. Maybe Honda needs to work on their systems. The assist systems in my Mazda work fine here in Canada in February. They lose sight of the lanes in a snowstorm, but then so does everyone else.
Perhaps rather than quibbling about a silly name, driver licensing needs to be more strict. Slashdot's penchant for raking Tesla over the coals over a name, because idiots might misinterpret it, is ridiculous.
Paving stones are used in most Canadian cities too (. To me, they appear to last longer than concrete slabs: the spaces between stones give them some room to shift around as the water freezes between them. Concrete just cracks, and then the water makes the cracks worse each winter.
Thatâ(TM)s true of all existing quantum computers. The DWave machine is special purpose, but a sufficiently scaled up version can be faster at some things than a conventional computer.
DWave's quantum computers aren't like the general purpose ones people usually talk about because all the qubits aren't connected to all the other ones. It's more like a bunch of little quantum processing units all networked together.
That limits the type of problems it can solve, but it does make it a lot easier to scale up.
That's a favourite trap of the woo. It *sounds* like something science-y, so it's true!
That's why they love anything quantum. It's weird and mysterious, and popular science articles make up all kinds of silly analogies, so just about anything sounds plausible.
Brain wifi -> telepathy seems perfectly logical. Never mind that the range on this "wifi" had to be observed with a microscope.

You've got a UID under a million, so your post is understandable. Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you....

In a world of idiots, the person who can differentiate is a god. In a world of geniuses, gods have to integrate.
Slashdot. How far you've fallen.
If you have a reasonable insurance system, then it appears you can. A few minor incidents like that and they won't be able to afford to drive.
Waze already does it in Canada too. As does the built-in GPS in my car. I think it's the "Google" part that's new.
Using them wasn't.

Taking something that exists (particularly if that something is a component, like a touchscreen) and making it better, is not copying.
Apple does copy, but your examples are terrible.

He could go off the grid, still use Linux, and just pretend it's 1999.
Y10K bug.

Interestingly, the cure for type one diabetes, at least autoimmune types, is likely to be related to the cure for HIV infection.

No. You need fairly thick air.
"How do you live in the world without acknowledging that most people are not that smart?"
I mostly read Slashdot for the nostalgia. Quite aware of the average IQ though.

The "my brain is magic argument" isn't new. Nothing but a human can ever do/be X because the human brain is unquantifiably special.
The argument could be correct. It's basically the same as the one used by the church for a couple thousand years, when they talk about souls.
