Lol. I hope you are kidding. If you think this is is convincing. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. This is true both on the downside and on the upside, btw.
They are protecting it in a simliar manner. Just because it's the same door, doesn't mean that what you acces behind those doors is the same every time. It's a service. But the only company which has any chance of making progress on it is Microsoft. I don't know if they will, btw. But no one else will for sure.
I don't think anyone is beating Microsoft in AI. They are just not exposing their tech on client side. They are keeping it on server side and only letting customers use it on per-client request basis.
Musk has made it his business to repackage nascent technology as someone else's perceived dream and selling it to hapless investors. This seems like an attempt to force more AI researches to reveal their discoveries and rely on dysfunctional patent regime to protect them (instead of the stronger protection in the form of trade secrets). If researchers must give away their work for free, then it immediately becomes commoditized and the only people profiting from it will be those who repackage it. And that's exactly what he does.
I don't think any normal 14-year-olds use Facebook. I have a 14-year-old and she thinks emails are too much work to write. I think she is more likely to think of Facebook as something that her mom uses than a place to meet some mysterious stranger.
If the EU ministers didn't take any videos of their pre-teen orgies, then why are they so keen on being able to remove any content from the Internet as soon as it is exposed?
The only claim of interferene which they have made has been that of disseminating ideas. This is not technical hacking. They charged 13 people in Russia with essentially spreading false propaganda. But that's just speech. If they have evidence of any technical tempering, they certainly can't attribute it to anyone. Or, at least, they haven't charged anyone or made any public claims of charging anyone. So what should be a response to dissemination of flase information? Clamping down of information dissemination? How is this not an attack on free speech?
Why not online services? You can put pins on Google maps with fairly exact position and descriptions. You can probably use them to share info with individual home owners.
Someone mentioned a Russia-controlled candidate becoming President. So I wanted to remind them that the only candidate with proved ties to Russia lost.
No, it does not. It used to have a superb science program. It doesn't anymore. It now lives off of having the same language as the US. It has no manufacturing left to speak of. It is not producing great innovators or researchers. It just happens to trade on its language. US is responsible for most of the scientific research done in the world. US brings about most of innovation in medicine, electronics, and just about anything else that enables life. Who the hell cares that England managed to con a lot of people of the globe to think that British English is the real English. US English is the normative one. And Britain just charges businesses for being a gateway to the US if they can't get there on their own. Which brings back the question, "why should we, in the US, care about what that island thinks?"
So everything anti-Communist is Russian now? I get it that Russia became a country through a rebellion against USSR, but don't people realize that there are others who don't like what Communists stand for?
why do we have to care what that dumb island has to say? what has England done for anyone in the past 25 years? mod it "troll" all you want, but you know you can't give a straight answer to that question.
Not sure about security. Don't actually care about security. But Vista was a mess because it was unstable more than because of being not secure. It was not less secure than WinXP. But it was less stable than WinXP. This: https://slashdot.org/comments.... is why.
The summary is white noise. It doesn't say anything about why Vista was out the gate. Only that it would be hard to support post-release. Every system is hard to support post release though.
The obvious reason Vista was not stable (and could not be stable) is that 64bit Win Api did not support atomic 64bit operations in Vista version of the Windows runtime. The 64bit atomic operations only gained support starting with Win7 (64bit). So there was a bunch of 64 bit Vista application code written without atomic operations. In multthreaded environment that essentially guarantees that sooner or later corruption will occur. Given that the pipelining can reorder operations, there was no sure way to lock this down without slowing down critical sections of the code significantly. This is not the kind of code that most application developers are used to writing. So there it was.
If being Russian should raise a level of suspicions, then so should being British. The fact that British speak the same language as we do does not make them our fellow countrymen.
So "self-driving cars" will be buses controlled remotely. The actual driving will not be completely autonomous. It will be subject to human intervention by a remote dispatcher. But the little bus cabins will be guided on the road by something other than a driver sitting behind a wheel. Well, I feel better about that than I do about a car driven by the same algorithms that can't get GPS navigation to be without error.

AI front is not a technical field. It's a scientific field. And arstechnica kids are way out of their depth.
Yeah. ok.

You mean just like Google does?

And by "actual empathy" you surely mean ESP, right? Wouldn't ESP start an arms race to bend other form of perception to one's own will?

Can you and your friend do something as simple as make a can of coke? Indistinguishable from the real Coke?

Something I knew even when I was a kid myself: parents know *most* of the time when they are lied to. They just don't bring it up most of the time.

Shouldn't it be "hackers are buying..." instead of "hackers are selling..."?

the UK does extremely well.

You are mistaken about the Russian-controlled President. Hillary lost the election.
Or with multi-vendor stacks from other architectures.

This is related to Vista how, exactly? As an ad hoiminem of choice?
