    I know of only one country using drones in a few provinces, China, since 2015.

    Other countries are testing and have trials...but it's not a mainstream thing anywhere.

    hahaha, nothing new in AI in the last couple of decades other than faster hardware. tell me what you think is new in AI and I'll tell you what decade in the 20th century it came from....

    what a farce, machines aren't going to be intelligent in the near future, artificial or otherwise....

  6. No, they hear it because it's fucking loud, and can be painful or damaging to dog's ears at close range. Stop using it, asshole.

    tell me what you imagine is new in AI and I'll tell you which 20th century decade it came from. Yes, my employer is using AI (not to make anything physical) and I set up systems and APIs for our analysts. We have faster hardware to run the same old algs on them and high speed networking, that's the change. Useless for many of the things that require a human brain and body.

    A sewing machine of the type that makes our clothes and shoes is not a robot, it's a tool for a human brain. That's been true for decades and it won't change any time soon.

    You are so funny with your misunderstanding of on board diagnostics systems and what they do. You never worked on a modern car, eh? I have. Root causes can be far removed from error codes, it takes a human brain to fix a car. Really.

    Seems you are misled by venture capitalists regarding manufacturing, engineering and AI capabilities.

    Nothing needs re-evaluated, I'm well aware of tech demos....but as engineer I know why things are not done that way and won't be for a very long time if ever.

    don't be fooled by venture capitalists doing absurdly expensive things in an area with absurdly expensive real estate (that will crash soon, btw) such as Bay area.

    nope, your clothing and shoes are made by hand. houses and roads are still made by crews doing a lot of manual labor. how is the work on your cars and trucks done? oh yeah, by mechanics. how is news made? how is building inspection done? oh, by people.

    engineers design things, scientists study things, tradesmen build things, repairmen repair things......

    this won't change anytime soon, because AI is mostly a farce with nothing fundamental new in decades.

  11. Re:keeping America safe? on FBI Again Calls For Magical Solution To Break Into Encrypted Phones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    it's even better than that, don't forget where the FBI seeks out low IQ impressionable losers, befriends them and fills their minds with crazy violent talk and ideas over months, then gives them access to fake bomb materials or guns. Then they swoop in to arrest them in what is trumpeted as a "great victory in the war on terror" with mutual back patting and cock sucking all around.

    False Flag Attacks, Incitement, etc.

    The FBI was watching the 9/11 attackers to see what they would do. The FBI was warned by Russia about the Boston marathon bomber. FBI was given tips about Florida school shooter.

    Funny the fad of using the term "best practices" thinking that by the power of those magic words anything they advocate becomes the right thing to do.

    No, the NSA does not employ "best practices" in either the technical or legal sense. Their security has been breached, they are careless with data, they spy on U.S. citizens illegally, they invade allies systems.

    No, it takes a severe level of autism to conclude that saying a sequel is unworthy is equivalent to saying it must equal or surpass the original. The sequel was a bad movie, it could have been a merely good movie and I'd have no complaint. But since it was bad it's unworthy.

    I believe the original Blade Runner movie was the greatest science fiction movie ever made, and many agree. This "sequel" was unworthy garbage.

    wait I think that is for packets with "evil intent", i.e. that wants to make you horny, which might be accomplished with packets that have merely suggestive, revealing, lewd or naughty content as opposed to pornographic.

  19. Jewish writings and the Bible (if someone smuggling them) were categorized as pornographic in the Soviet Union, and in South Africa black liberation works were. Maybe the swimsujit issue of Sports Illustrated is pornographic in parts of the Bible Belt....
