From TFA: "The researchers also found that adding a little bit of domain knowledge, by having human players highlight interesting or important areas, sped up the algorithms’ learning and progress by a remarkable amount." This defeats the whole purpose of autonomous independent exploration.
It's fine if Apple cannot sell 200 million eyePhones. In fact, not only is it fine, it's great. It looks like monopoly is hitting physical limits. More brands should make more diverse phones built across the world. Not everybody has to have the same shiny toy ffs.
I never hear the fan on my my macbook. It's quiet as a mouse and it's one of the things I love about it. The fan fires up only when I play War Thunder or another graphics intense game to play and then sometimes I don't hear it because I put on headphones to immerse myself. My guess is that Apple doesn't put high-end overclocked GPUs in Mac's to keep the heat and noise levels down. It's just a guess though.
The patent link is for "device for controlling the speed of a spaceplane during the transition from a phase of space flight to a phase of aeronautical flight and associated transition method".
On how much time you want to spend maintaining it. I personally don't want to spend any time fiddling with the hardware. I want to pay for somebody to do it for me (i.e. pay for warranty, on-site repair etc.). In any case I'd say buy an entire PC from some manufacturer. I bet the individual parts (mobo/disk etc.) will be of better quality than those you buy retail.
Some people might this it's easy to bring a form online but when you're dealing with government magnitudes you're playing on an entirely different level. Huge databases, security, storage, sync, backups etc. It's not an easy task.
I'm also like you. I keep up with developments and make sure I'm always on top of my game. But arguably that needs to be done outside of work. As you're getting older and have family and other responsibilities, you don't want to go back home and work more on learning the new stuff. You just want to chill out and do other things. That being said, if you don't, given the pace things are moving in technology, you're soon going to be obsolete. And this goes back to the age-old question of what to do with the segment of the population whose skills are out-of-date or who whose jobs can be replaced by technology. This is going to be one of humanity's biggest challenges.
Until a better idea comes a long, like it or not, the only solution I see right now is a form of socialism. i.e. those with skills and talent have to pay a part of their salary to keep the others afloat. Because I'm not sure I would like to live in a society that uses people for a few years in their prime and then discards them like rotten fruit.

I've been on Slashdot for decades and I've never received any mod points. How does one get mod points?

Millions in crowdfunding and years later yet still no release :)
Oh, right! When we do it we're spreading freedom whereas when they do it it's malicious!
Reminiscent of Flashback (Delphine Software)
Hahaha :) Exactly.

You know something is seriously wrong with an operating system when a user needs to upgrade their kernel... [unleash hate!]
They should know better than to use galaxy related names. Might spontaneously combust like the Note 7.
It's for when you throw up in their driverless iCar...

I've been on /. for many years.. and it always struck me as weird how I NEVER got moderation points!! I thought comments were crowd-source moderated...
How is this Technology news?

I don't disagree that it can be broken down with proper management. It's just that people in government lack the necessary skills...
