  1. Re:Fair enough, let others pick it up... on 3D Headphone Startup 'Ossic' Closes Abruptly, Leaving Crowdfunders Hanging (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    This is not investment. It is a free grant of money where you might get something back in return if the producer decides he wants to.

    I wish. There will be someone talking about how "the experiment was flawed" because they didn't "twist the wires enough" or compensate for something, etc, etc, etc.

    It didn't have that much attention. Only 10,000 backers.

    Untrue. T-Mobile is the best network in the US.

    LOL. "Firmware update overnight". Pathetic.

  6. $75k Model 3 on Tesla Model 3 Falls Short of Consumer Reports Recommendation (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Lets keep in mind that the Model 3 is really a $75,000 car. It is NOT a $35,000 car. You cannot buy one for $35,000 (and it may never become available at all). Meanwhile other companies are producing affordable EVs, right now. Nissan and Hyundai have EVs that you can buy today starting at around $30,000. Ford and Chevy also make affordable EVs. The Chevy Bolt is around $38,000.

    Tesla is a terrible investment. They are stopping their Model 3 production line again. Executives and engineers are leaving. They just put their Fremont factory up as collateral against their lines of credit.

    The Nissan Leaf is $30k. What are you "backing"? Other companies are already producing affordable EV's.

    Natural Gas is a fossil fuel. Who writes this stuff?

    100% correct. Electronic communications (and networks) are NOT private or secure. Telegraph lines were monitored back in the 1800s.

    "advertising pennies"

    You are ignorant if you think that. Apple's advertising revenue is in the billions.

    Too bad this guy didn't do his job when he was at Intel.

  13. I don't understand. Why doesn't AI find programs that contain this behavior and remove them from the app store?

    No, a human needs to be taught too. You don't think Walmart store managers learn when/how to drop their prices??? They are trained by the corporation typically.

    No. Alpha Go and Clippy are just computer programs. They aren't "weak" or "strong", just programs.

    There is no such thing as AI. There are lots of problems that computers can solve better than humans. We have known this for at least 80 years now.

    There is no such thing as "AI" and computers need to be programmed. Explicitly.

    In the example, Charlie didn't have full access to the data, but even if he did he would need to be "taught" (a.k.a programmed), just like the store manager was taught by somebody. Computers aren't magic. They have to be programmed.

    Lots of young people don't know how software (or computers) works at this point. They think it is magic, and that neural networks are somehow new.

    The computer would need to know the data of what the competitors are selling the product for in order for it to consider it in its algorithm.

    " Charlie didn't understand that the previous (human) manager varied prices only when the competition did"

    This makes no sense. You don't need "AI" for this. You just need to feed all the available data into the program. The human manager had more information than the computer program did. If the computer program had the same information (and programmed rules) then it would make the same decision.

  22. In 2018 we don't need engineering analysis. Just a lot of taxpayer money.

  23. True, Musks ideas are 100% original.

  25. Because it would likely cost more to administrate the program that would charge for access. This is about 0.0000001% of Federal expenditures. Who really cares?
