It shouldn't be up to someone else to do your work for you. Why does someone else need to double check some MIT researchers work? According to them, they are all geniuses. Do your research properly.
Because you are too stupid to realize that Google, Apple, Microsoft, insert random company here, is doing it too. But you don't care, because you are a good little consumer. Since people like you won't get mad, nothing will change. Stupidity at a massive level affects the rest of us.
I don't think you get it. They only care about you when you are on your way to and from a movie so they can track you and sell people that information.
Uh, what makes you think they are not selling the data? Because the CEO said so? They could be selling the raw data, aggregated data, anonymized data, analytics, or any combination. How would you know? You guys are truly naive. No wonder we are in the situation we are now.
What they do is tell the restaurants that after seeing Black Panther you went and visited the local McDonalds. They then suggest to the restaurant that they might want to offer a coupon to their restaurant to keep people from going to McDonalds after the movie. Of course they are selling the data. So is everyone else. The fact that you are still using the app after knowing this, just shows how hopelessly stupid people are. They didn't even disclose it in the privacy policy. But you still aren't mad, so I guess why should they bother?
Exactly. The end of the road we are on is only allowing closed "secure" devices to access the Internet. We are almost there. It just takes the major ISPs to get on board. After all, think of the children and terrorists and terrorist children!
Why several decades? I thought this was right around the corner, along with AI and trips to Mars. You mean someone will need to put in decades of hard engineering work?
So why can't this system tell the difference between a sheep and a post in the ground? Neural nets have been around for 40 years now. Why aren't they working?
" I think it's shown a bunch of pictures of fields of sheep and told those are sheep, so it assumes fields with white blobs are sheep"
Why doesn't it learn what is a sheep and what is a field? Isn't it "machine learning"? When is AI going to advance? We have been training NN for 40 years now.
But the system isn't approaching a 3 year old. It can't even tell the difference between a sheep and a post in the ground. A 3 year old can. Instantly. So you are saying we will need years to make a system to recognize a sheep, and then another few years to make one to recognize a cow, and then another few years to recognize a plane? Wow. I heard AI was right around the corner. I guess not.
So as long as it says everything is a sheep it is fine? My two year old can recognize a sheep. Why can't a neural net? Are you saying they are using a neural net for the wrong thing? Or the researchers training it wrong? Are they just stupid? Why did you bring up human facial expressions? This system can't tell the difference between a post in the ground and a sheep.
Really? Wow. So now that we have computers that can do "matrix math" we will have AI. So why can't this system recognize sheep? Did they buy the wrong matrix math cards from Amazon?
Was there some recent breakthrough in computing power? I wasn't aware. So now that we have the cloud, we will have AI? So why aren't the researchers using the cloud so that their system can recognize sheep? Are they not aware of that. The reason I am being sarcastic is because I have heard the "not enough power" argument for the last 20 years. It isn't a power problem. If it were, someone would just throw a bunch of CPU power on the problem and presto we would have AI.
My two year old can tell the difference between a sheep and a letter, yes. So you are saying that all you need is a big neural net with different training set, or multiple sub-NN? If that is the case, why don't we have one? NN have been around for 40 years. When are we going to have one that can recognize sheep? What is your explanation? Researchers are too stupid to figure it out? Not enough CPU? Not enough memory? What?
"I don't know enough about their training to say why they did it wrong. I would guess that grass and mountains are appearing in too many images with sheep"
So do you people need to start taking pictures of sheep without grass and mountains so computers can start recognizing sheep? When are you guys going to start doing that? And once you are done with that, will you start taking pictures of cows? How long is this all going to take?

So you only made $2/hour, net? How many hours did you work for Uber last year?
"Why bother making ridiculous assumptions" immediately followed by "I'd be surprised if drivers are making minimum wage". Classic Slashdot!
You are right. It can't be much. Can I see your research? It sounds excellent! Thanks!
...all the slashdotters that said drivers are bad at math and lose money were wrong too? It can't be!

OK here it is: 1234. It is the same number that I use for my luggage.
I like it, but I couldn't find where to put in my credit card number?

Suspension or even termination of an account to a free service? The horrors!
I don't understand. What devices other than Apple devices produce music?
That will be nice. I know I will be getting one! Hopefully they will be white.

What is really cool? It can't even recognize sheep yet.
