    Nope. I am sure these chips work just like the human brain.

    According to futurists, 5 years ago. Right after they figure out how to patch Spectre and Meltdown they will be working on that.

  3. It is a perfect field on In the Search for Alien Life, 'Everyone Is an Astrobiologist' (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    That is a perfect field because you can apply for grants in many different fields. Plus they have to deal with a flood of information (buy computers) and figure out how to get scientists to work together (attend a lot of conferences and meetings). Sure beats working.

    Definitely. Then the learning would be even deeper.

    Good approach. The human brain is just neurons with firing rate, intensity, etc attributes. You will have real AI in no time!

    This is a huge step forward in AI. I am sure these chips work very similarly to the way human brains work. Otherwise they wouldn't call them "neuromorphic", because that would be misleading.

    It is 2018. Any program is AI.

    Um, it is a robot car park that uses AI to stack cars. How is it not relevant to tech???

    If you are using closed source software you REALLY shouldn't be concerned about privacy, because the software could literally be doing anything.

    I agree 100%. Only idiots use the Internet.

    You can't find data on the beneficial effects of smoking because THERE ARE NONE. If there were, Altria would be sending out press releases. Seriously?

  12. I vape while I browse Tinder in my Corvette.

    If you are using the Internet you aren't taking privacy seriously. The Internet is not private. It is a network and that is the antithesis of privacy.

    Blasphemy. Do you know what would happen if you had to wait for a more measured, tested approach??? You would miss your sprint!

    He could be replaced by a seasoned Certified Scrum Master (SCM). You just have to make the SCM is Certified by http://www.scrumalliance.org./ Otherwise it will just be some crazy process nut who is more concerned about the process than the final product. You might think that anyone can write and release software, but you really need to be certified. You just can't have uncertified regular people releasing software! That would be insane!

    Obviously if Linus adopted an Agile strategy this wouldn't be an issue. He just needs to setup some sprints and things will work out.

  17. I'm not trolling. I just believe that AI and space colonization is inevitable. After all, my first computer only had 64k of memory and look at computers now! Progress is inevitable. It doesn't require hard work or anything, it just is something that happens because progress. If you wish hard enough for something it will eventually come true. Everything is possible! Don't let reality destroy your dreams.

  18. Exactly. Are you claiming that we won't be colonizing other planets eventually? It is inevitable.

  19. I love how you call me a troll, but then repeat the exact thing I posted! Namely, that neural nets are called that because they are like real neural networks (the human brain). And that "deep" learning is "deeper" than shallow learning. That means it is more better than shallow learning. I think we are on the same page.

  20. Yes! And automated driving is right around the corner. They are already doing trials of automated driving in cities across the US, so it is inevitable that trucks will be automated in the future.

  21. Definitely. Intelligence isn't magic. Technological progress is inevitable. My phone has more memory than the most powerful computers in the 1940s. So it is only a matter of time before general AI is here.

  22. Exactly! We are very close to creating A.I. that could replace waitresses and baristas. Then they will come for our jobs! Then what will we do???

  23. Yes, even now lawyers and doctors are being replaced by AI. I read one analysis that a computer with photographic memory could replace a doctor. It is inevitable.

  24. Baloney. If it wasn't intelligence then they wouldn't be calling it "A.I". The "I" stands for "intelligence". A bunch of decision trees are just computer programs. I am talking about deep learning neural networks. It is completely different.

  25. Exactly. It is only a matter of time when machines have general intelligence. It is not an "if" but a "when". After all, progress is inevitable.
