  1. Re:In The Beginning... on Yes, You've Still Got Mail (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    humph arrgg iiiiaa oooo wadawada?

  2. I worked on autonomous Humvee's about 15 years ago and that same technology is whats driving the cars now.
    The things that have changed are the sensors and computers are faster and better, the algorithms and NN's are better and deeper and there is so much data now.
    We already have autonomous cars and people are diving them and the stuff that they can detect even at fast moving speeds is quite a bit.
    They can definitely read signs and getting t\o be under all light, weather conditions.
    The higher level decision making processes are simple, but they will get better.
    I would say 5-7 years is about the right time frame.

  3. Re:Probably a minor oversight. Will likely be fixe on Blinking Cursor Devours CPU Cycles in Visual Studio Code Editor (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    That actually happened to me a long time ago. I was on a dumb terminal at a contractors site. I never used Emacs before and I needed to just write a few notes, I some how opened Emacs and then I couldn't figure out how to quit, save or get out... I ended up killing the process and opened vi instead.

    I did later learn Emacs and used it all the time.

  4. I think the same ting happens when using Google Drive on Windows.

    Let me fix that for you - they don't want to eat us *** until we get to Mars***

  6. Re:What a novel question on Who's Liable For Decisions AI and Robotics Make? (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The poster was being funny. Yes this question is not new and has been covered in TV shows since the Outer Limits and Twilight Zone, not to mention many older Sci-Fi books and even the Animatrix.

    It's no long a question of the object, but who owns the object. There is user error, manufacturing error and design error. All of them are responsible depending on the situation.

    When an object makes it's own decisions and does something bad, then it goes to jail like any other human.

    You can't add a blanket law, and you can't control technology and you can't instill ethical thinking in a thinking machine no more than you can in a human being.

    Until someone builds a AI that is responsible for it's own actions and does something bad and someone sues them, then this will start a precedence on how to deal with this issue.

    Those stats are Good Enough for Me!

  8. Winklevoss on The SEC Just Handed Bitcoin a Huge Setback (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess another loss for the Winklevoss'. First Facebook and now this, how are they going to cope?

  9. So Atom Ant is real!

  10. A Cat? or 50 Cats?

  11. Good Marketing on Why Typography Matters -- Especially At The Oscars (freecodecamp.com) · · Score: 1

    Well things like this are bad and good. Good because of all the free marketing they got, bad because it was not the kind of marketing they wanted.
    It lives on in each award show for this year, now the standing joke will be to give the main top award to La La Land...

    But really, what about color coding the top card to Gold. I know you can't color each different category, then you would have to remember what the color means, but at least the Top award should be a different color than the rest.

    And yes, the type and size of the text inside the card should have been designed differently. And the presenters should have been informed and planned for what would happen in the "wrong card situations".

  12. Taxation without Representation on 'Robots Won't Just Take Our Jobs -- They'll Make the Rich Even Richer' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    That is what will lead to the Robot Uprising..

  13. Re:Well no fuckin shit on Why Your Boss Will Crush Your Innovative Ideas (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    And the next month the person whose idea won was to reduce the award to $25

  14. Why did the Chicken... on DNA Test Shows Subway's 'Chicken' Only Contains 50 Percent Chicken (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Why did the Chicken cross the Road?

    To get to the Subway.

    But they only made it 50% of the time, it seems.

  15. Details already worked out on How To Get Back To the Moon In 4 Years -- This Time To Stay (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Look they already did this in:
    Space 1999
    2001: A Space Odyssey
    Independence Day: Resurgence
    Moon
    The First Men in The Moon
    A Trip to the Moon
    Transformers 3: The Dark of the Moon

    So what more proof do you need?

  16. Not for you on Studios Push for $50 Early Home Movie Rentals (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    They are not aiming this service at all of you who don't want to go out, wait for the movie to come to Netflix, are cheep that you don't want to pay for it, will download the pirate version anyways, or think that going to a movie is a loud and obnoxious thing (Which maybe it is on your area, but I have only encountered that a few times in the many years at the theater, but I don't go to the discount theaters anyways).

    The point is, it's not for you, this is for the demographic of people that will pay to see it in their home early or don't want to go out.
    This is to get an extra buck from those that want to see the movie but don't go to the theater for whatever reason.

    Soon it will turn into same day releases at higher costs (and $50 is not that much.)

    How they will combat someone ripping it and posting it, that will be the big question.

  17. Schrodinger's cat on Owning a Cat Does Not Lead To Mental Illness, Study Finds (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Schrodinger owned a cat, did they call him crazy? I don't think so...

    But is it Kosher?

  19. Yes soon someone will patent the Human Body and we will all have to pay for it.

  20. He is right, its just the technology is not here yet. But it will be. Once we get genetic level wireless computer interfaces that can connect to the neurons in the brain then we will be able to do stuff we have never imagined before. Voice interfaces are loud, but neural interfaces are quiet and private. Put that along with genetic engineering and HUD displays in the eyes and we will be walking up-gradable computer systems with access to information like never before. Its coming, and if you just deny it then you are out of touch with what needs to be done.

  25. That is why I never bought a Console, I could never get used to the controller. For fighting games it's great though. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.

      I started with DOOM and the arrow and WASD keys and we had a mouse vs Arrow keys and the mouse won, it was close though.
