  1. Millennials can't handle the truth. Their "AI" gimmicks are getting tiresome. We get it already: image/shape recognition is a real thing. It was done over 40 years ago. Time to move on.

  2. It recognizes shapes you draw and fills them with a texture. We get it. Shape recognition has been around for 40 years now. More ridiculousness called "AI".

  3. They used to call that "fuzzy learning" and it was the hype over 20 years ago, and was discarded soon after it didn't really work. It looks like the new generation is learning it all over again.

  4. Nah, the days of ever decreasing prices is over.

    That video doesn't prove anything. It could be completely pre-rendered. If it isn't, why not show someone actually moving around the scene with a mouse?

    I missed something. Since when is gathering names of employees and trying to poach them to come work for you "abhorrent"? Business is business. The Australian company is probably upset they didn't think of it first.

    Obviously these people have no clue what is in a so-called "smart speaker".

    In case you missed something: this IS bank controlled. This is just a new way to transfer money using a payment processing network. What you are talking about is nonsense (speculation). And just because "Youtube" cofounder/Netflix developer are involved doesn't make it more worthwhile.

  12. My entire career might as well never have existed, as far as any trace of it to be found.

    Computers are the very definition of ephemeral.

     
    I wouldn't think like that. For those 30 years you provided a valuable service. So what if it isn't used anymore? You produced something that helped a lot of people in those 30 years. Also, your work might have inspired the creators of the replacement project.

    No. It is just like building in a tent: a stupid idea that is needed because you need to be "Agile" (a.k.a haven't thought about things completely ahead of time). Tesla is moronic.

    Right. I'm "trolling". Take it outside, Muskovite.

    Mobile repair is a complete joke as is Tesla. Just like you said: how do you fix anything significant? It will be bankrupt in a couple of years. Complete amateur hour from guys used to building "Agile" software.

    People frequently use the word "troll" when they mean "I don't agree with what the person is saying". It is very 2019.

  19. This could have been avoided if projects chose GPLv3. It was introduced 12 years ago to solve THIS VERY PROBLEM. But it wasn't adopted widely and now the projects are suffering from the result. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, et al are just out to make money. That is their only interest.

  20. I get it.

  22. GPLv3 on Is Amazon's AWS Approaching 'War' for Control of Elasticsearch? (datanami.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe you should have listened to the GPL folks and chose GPLv3 for your license. This is EXACTLY what they were talking about. Now it has happened. All of these proprietary cloud services are running open source code and selling it and not giving back.

  23. ...if we only had all bought $60,000 Tesla cars this could have all been avoided.

  24. There was something wrong with the way we were taught: we were taught the method to do long division, not WHY you did it that way. As a result, you have no clue if your answer is correct or not, because you make a single mistake when following the algorithm the entire result is wrong. Doing division by following an algorithm might be easier, but then you are just a robot following an algorithm and you might as well have a computer do it. You didn't learn anything except for the algorithm.

  25. Re:New math on Kids Have 'Math Anxiety' Thanks To Parents and Teachers, Report Finds (vice.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Remembering 8+13 IS wrong. Are you able to memorize every number added to every other number? What are you going to do when the problem is 58472+39485? The idea of decomposition is to make the problem easier so that the harder problems are easier to solve. That is what CC does, and it makes sense. They are teaching the approach, not memorization. Memorization is stupid.
