  1. Photoshop is an AI program. Who knew?

  2. Nokia: $29billion in revenue
    RIM: $1.7billion in revenue

    Why do you ask?

    Wow! You are a wizard!

  4. Yeah, now they only have $300billion in revenue last year. Those chumps.

    If only Apple would provide some explanation of why they did it, and post it somewhere on their website so we could read it.

    Yeah. Apple should have a policy of a $29 replacement of any battery, no matter what the diagnostic says!

    Yeah, but what if the battery was $29, not $120? It might make sense to replace it, rather than throwing it in the garbage. Nah, just throw it away and replace it.

    Maybe someday they will start replacing batteries for a reasonable cost (like $29). Yeah, right! I wish.

    Thanks. We will let HP and Dell know.

  10. Meltdown is an Intel only problem. Don't be fooled by people who say "but ARM is affected too". Baloney. None of those ARM processors are even on the market. And those ARM processors were co-designed by Intel.

    Our coastlines are getting battered because we have removed all the buffer wetlands that used to protect them. That is the real danger, not some multiple centimeter of rising ocean. But you can't solve that problem, because people really like to live on the coastlines. I am sure carbon credits will fix the problem.

    Yes it makes more sense to build a mylar space mirror (with ion drives) rather then launch about 10 million square km of foil. Space nutters.

    Definitely. Microbes from Earth regularly travel across space to other planets. And when they get there it triggers life (when they go in the ocean). Scientists have proven that already!

  14. Very cool but we already have AI-enabled self driving cars all over the place, and trains are on rails on a controlled environment. Surely this is a solved problem?

    That seems unlikely. Much like deep learning neural nets, these closely resemble how the biological equivalents operate. Otherwise they would call them something else other than "neural nets" or "artificial synapses".

    Exactly. If life didn't exist in space, then explain the space station? And some of the people there are actually scientists, so it is scientifically proven because they can self-verify their existence.

    So it could be the key part of the brain that "brings it all together", or it could not be. Definitely useful.

    No. It is a "brain on a chip". You need to read the summary.

    You must be wrong. They wouldn't call it an artificial synapse if it didn't work like a real synapse. That would be misleading and what would be the purpose of misleading people?

    His approach is as valid as any other, since no one has any idea how the human brain works.

    Yeah, it is hard to believe that the brain controls if you are conscious or not. I always thought that was the big toes job. Fascinating!

    Excellent points. And people say Space Nutters can't be coherent!

    Definitely expected. They key to it all is how they implement the feedback weights. You can't have a brain without those. Once we have that, we have AI. Good idea on the memristor. I hope they have thought of that.
