  1. Re:op is delusional and a liar on This Was the Year the Robot Takeover of Service Jobs Began (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I saw him dancing in a club last week. He wasn't on stage though, so I am not sure what he was doing.

  2. Happened to me on This Was the Year the Robot Takeover of Service Jobs Began (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was flipping burgers in San Francisco and this Creator company came in and everyone went there and there are no burger flipping jobs left. So then I became a Chess grandmaster and the AI took that job, so I became a Go grandmaster and then the AI took those jobs too. I finally settled on being a taxi driver, so I am OK now.

    I personally track myself constantly and send the data to every company that asks for it. It keeps me safe from terrorists.

    You already track yourself. Don't you carry a mobile phone?

    Of course. How do you think it works? The processing isn't done on your device. Siri doesn't work if you don't have a connection to the internet for example.

    I have multiple of these devices. Great for looking up recipes.

    It was just a hash collision when generating the link. Will be fixed in the next update.

  11. Re:If you repeat a lie enough times on Researchers Use AI To Map Every Solar Panel In the US (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    They mean "image recognition" which means they can detect dark squares on a satellite photo that could be solar panels. Apparently image recognition is AI in 2018.

  12. Re:That's all?? on Researchers Use AI To Map Every Solar Panel In the US (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Germany has been increasing their CO2 output year over year and is spinning up coal plants. Nice "targets" but the US has more installed solar and wind and renewables than almost any country in the world.

  13. Re:That's all?? on Researchers Use AI To Map Every Solar Panel In the US (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You aren't American. Plus it is stupid to count per capita. The US is the #2 manufacturing nation in the world. That is why the per capita numbers are so high.

  14. Re:USA, What % of your power is solar? case closed on Researchers Use AI To Map Every Solar Panel In the US (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    US is 2.0% of total consumption and Germany is 7.%. The US is a much bigger manufacturer than Germany, that is why CO2 "per person" is higher. It has nothing to do with solar.

    Uh, you can't clean it up. There are over 86 billion tons dumped EVERY YEAR. Are you dumb? You couldn't build enough booms to clear it out even if we stopped dumping today. The ocean conservancy actually does stuff, but they aren't hipsters like you.

    ...it wouldn't make a difference. 86 million tons of plastic is dumped into the ocean every year. You can't build enough of these to even make a small dent (even if they worked 100% optimally). But some hipster got his kickstarter going and everyone can feed good about themselves while they sip their plastic water bottles.

  18. Re:If you're building a tunnel... on Elon Musk Unveils 1.14-Mile Boring Company Tunnel (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why "personal rapid transit"? That doesn't make any sense. You will never get the throughput to get enough people where they need to go if they are in their own personal box. And how would you "switch" a thousand different personal transit cars without "complex switching equipment" (never mind the fact that subways don't use complex switching equipment). The entire idea is completely stupid.

    We COULD, but who would design it, build it, market it and maintain it? Not me, I'm too busy posting nonsense on Slashdot.

    ...but we should add the personal websites under a single domain so people can go there to find them and search them easily. We could call it mypage.com or something.
