TensorFlow Already Runs on a Pi Locally. There are plenty of projects out there working on this. I wonder what will be new here--better optimizations? I hope they address the use case of a Pi away from WiFi better.
This notion appears cost-prohibitive and I don't believe they mention cost studies in their video presentation. In addition, we don't seem to be maintaining the road infrastructure we have, which is based on a much simpler technology. In practice, this new solar road infrastructure would appear to require considerably more than we are unable to devote now.
Disadvantages of exhaling silica dust: many.
Advantages of exhaling silica dust: possible abrasive for lapping processor die, as well as immunity to the dreaded pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
The Book's carrying capacity limitations are more than compensated by the longevity of its media, however. Years after your e-book reader is in your junk box or landfill along with the other hottest technology you bought this year, the books I keep and shelve will still be books rather than e-waste. For throwaway one-time reads that's OK by me. For writing with more staying power, though, that's a damned shame,
We watched the ISS with the shuttle chasing behind as they passed overhead on the evening of Thanksgiving. I looked up and thought, this is the best thing we've ever done, and it may be the best thing we ever do.
Noscript is a great add-on, and performs a valuable function. They made a mistake, and fixed it. So I am keeping Noscript, and also whitelisting it in ABP. For what they do, as well as for fixing their error, they maintain my trust.
Newer Intel motherboard, uses Sigmatel audio, SP1 is not compatible with the latest drivers available through Intel. SP1 has been available for compatibility testing for how long, and Microsoft and Intel can't come up with a compatible sound driver? That seems like a great sign to me that Vista really is dead, the new Millennium Edition is upon us.
Since Victoria dumps billions of liters of its raw sewage directly into the Strait of Juan de Fuca after filtering out the chunks, what they really need is a treatment plant that disappears from view instead of robotic urinals.
For those lacking televisions, internet tubes, and/or cable, here's a definition for you: Mythbusters, a television show hosted by two men, Adam and Jamie, who explore urban legends, examine common misconceptions, and very often blow things up. They seldom bust actual myths, so one is unlikely to view on their program a debunking of monotheism, an exploration of the romantic ideal of love, a deep dive into the faults of Creationism, or an examination of whether our government makes us more or less secure, but they often assemble clever gadgets from things like rubber bands and duct tape and welded bits of metal, so they are usually entertaining.
The statistic might be true for all internet users, but fast-moving business execs have no time for three pages. They expect their desired result to show up at the top of the first page, before they finish typing in their query. If the answer can be e-mailed to them before they even think to run a search, even better.
Voyager has been out there a long time. Pioneer has been out there a long time. This spacecraft has 128MB of memory on board. In my day, we made probes with 64K of memory, and we liked it.
Sure, they can engineer a USB drive to look like a duck, but why can't they make a 1GB drive with a sturdy attachment, one that will not break off my keychain after a week of normal use? The older Sandisk Cruzer is the closest I have found yet, metal encased in plastic, but the newer ones have done away with the metal attachment point. Is there any example of these drives not encased in flimsy plastic that breaks in a week of normal use?
On the other hand, this calls something an "expense" which isn't an expense except in a very abstract accounting sense, making earnings statements even more difficult to understand. Options are incentives which carry risk. This change undercuts their incentive value from the company's perspective, and ignores the risk (that if it really is an instrument in exchange for my services, then mostly I get screwed in that deal, based on our collective experience with options over the last ten years).
Enable nonstochastic communication modalities by utilizing post-Bayesian non-deterministic linguistic differentiation mark-up in a non-denomenational plurisitic non-denominational rainbow-like blur of buzzword hyperbole.
That is an excellent, spot-on repsonse to the article, with a perfect illustrative example, rendering all further pontifications on the subject redundant.
The rest of the world is filled with mono-educated outsourcing fodder that have crammed a narrowly-targetted CS education into as short a time as possible, memorizing syntax and call center protocols. The best possible insurance of future employability for someone considering CS is to add something else to your curriculum to expand your horizons. Math is certainly one likely candidate, but some other excellent combinations are CS and Music, CS and the Humanitites, CS and Foreign Languages, or CS and English. The suggestion is somewhat counter-intuitive. Most CS majors will frown on your interest in the Humanities. Exactly. Set yourself apart. Study what you are interested in, distinguish yourself from the pack, and seek an advantage through challenging, broad study.
Linux may not be the answer. But Linux is the garage from which the answer will come. Skill, luck, imagination, and business sense will combine in some currently unknown way to slap MS down to the second-rate position it deserves. Cringely used to wax nostalgic about nerds in garages. Well Bob, grab Knoppix, and take a look at what's going on in the garage.
It's a strange quirk of human nature that we form nostalgic attachments to old junk. Somehow the fond memories of an old car get converted into reluctance to part with a trembling rust bucket that leaves pools of oil in your driveway. Through some fault of thinking I have several old, useless 486 PCs taking up space in storage. What matters with google is not the hardware they got for free, or waxing nostalgic about data centers cluttered with 28K modems and piles of keyboards and monitors with 1-1 relationships to systems, but rather, the vision and hard work that hardware supported, and the thought, the beautiful algorithmic jazz, expressed in code and data on those old loud slow hunks of silicon and steel. Waxing nostalgic over pictures of old junk ought to be replaced by waxing creative over a close reading of the PageRank algorithm. That would be a more useful expenditure of your time on a saturday morning.

The antivaxxer anti-irradiation vegan insect rights anti-robot coalition will rise up, certainly.
Once you use a rack and panniers it's hard to go backpack.

Quad core. Didn't notice anything different.
Paper: cheap, always on, always available, fungible, legible, shreddable. End of story.
