You might soon find that sitting on the beach all day isn't what you expected. I have taken extended vacations between jobs, and after about a week, I start feeling an urge to "get stuff done". The satisfaction of achieving goals is not just about money.
Marissa had enough money for a very comfortable retirement before she even started as CEO of Yahoo.
Also, this has nothing to do with 64 bit hardware. You can do 64 bit arithmetic on even 8 bit CPUs using sophisticated techniques such as "carry" and "borrow" that are taught in 2nd grade. If you declare a variable as "long long" or "int64_t" the compiler will handle all of that for you.
Before doing anything, it is a good idea to think about what you are trying to accomplish. If you are interested in overclocking, there are plenty of sites that explain how to focus on that.
If you are trying to make your hardware "more reliable", or "perform better" then cooling is unlikely to accomplish much. Cold machine rooms were useful 30 years ago, but today they mostly exist out of misguided superstition that they provide some benefit. Modern CPUs and memory are built to run fairly hot. HDDs are actually more reliable at the hot end of their operating range. SDDs benefit from being cooler, but you can accomplish that with better airflow rather than colder temps.
There is a reason that most big tech companies run "hot" datacenters today, with ambient temps of 40C / 105F or higher. The AC savings far outweigh the negligible performance/reliability issues.
Your argument that BNNs don't use algorithms can be equally applied to ANNs. If you use a vague definition of algorithm, then it can apply to both. If you use a strict definition, it will apply to neither.
The old joke was that if your political views fit on a bumpersticker then you needed better views. The new joke simply replaces, "on a bumpersticker," with, "in a tweet," or, "in 140 characters or less."
Since a tweet holds more than a typical bumpersticker, this could be viewed as progress toward more substantive discourse.
I don't believe you. If you have this strong of an opinion about astrology, then you have almost certainly been exposed to it enough to know your sign. Astrology is idiotic nonsense, but I have known my sign as long as I can remember. I have had plenty of people tell me my sign and read my horoscope out loud. If you grew up in America, and associated at all with "normal" people, I don't see how you could avoid it.
This can also work with signature pads. A forger maybe able to fake your signature, but they have a much harder time faking the rhythm and timing of the strokes.
Another test that measures timing is testing for pedophila. Patients are shown pictures of children, adolescents, and adults, and asked to rate each picture for attraction. The ratings are then ignored, and instead the "dwell time" for each photo is what is actually measured, since that is much more predictive.
It is not only not newsworthy, it is garbage journalism designed to twist the facts and manufacture outrage. The reason these drugs are "deadly" is specifically because of their illegality. A legal market with enforced medical regulation can solve the problem, and has done so in many jurisdictions, fixing both the overdoses and much of the collateral harm. In the meantime, these online markets are a safer source of opiates than buying them on street corners, so they are a net benefit to society.
Except it is total bullcrap. During the period that the denialists claim that temperatures were "stable" they were actually rising and a million square miles of arctic pack ice became open ocean.
This begs the question of whether CO2 is actually a pollutant or not.
No, it raises the question. Begging the question means something completely different.
CO2 is not a pollutant in the normal sense of causing a specific problem where it is concentrated, but in excess it does cause global problems regardless of what you call it.
CO2 is a global problem, not a city problem. There is no reason to locate CO2 consuming moss in any particular location, so it should be where it grows best, which is likely not downtown. This is obvious public "art" to make a statement, and not a serious attempt to mitigate AGW. Anyway, it does look cool.
Nonsense. Everyone has to start somewhere. Often the most intelligent people ask the most basic questions, because questioning basic premises that "everyone knows" can occasionally lead to the biggest breakthroughs.
Also, in a forum like Slashdot, replies are directed at everyone, not just at the person asking the question.
Yes, this is a dupe. Here is a brief synopsis of the previous discussion: 1. Many people do not think AI today is analogous to the "web" in 1993. 2. Machine learning is much harder than editing HTML. You aren't going to learn it in a 21 day "bootcamp". 3. If you are serious this is what you should do:
a. Learn plenty of linear algebra
b. Learn how to program GPUs using CUDA and OpenCL.
c. Learn basic theory, like backprop and autoencoders.
d. Write some code, read some books, write more code.
The really cool thing about this plan is that AI can be replaced by X where X is basically anything. If you want a job in anything, from plumbing to machine learning, you learn about, you show that you can do stuff with it, and then you apply for jobs.
Let me get this straight... It's a non-binding accord (other than we can't leave until 4 Nov 2019). So nothing changes.
Correct. This is just political mastrubation.
Meanwhile, scientists and engineers are busy working on better solar panels, more efficient wind turbines, biofuels, battery tech, integrated grids, carbon sequestration, etc. Stuff that actually matters.
Why would anyone cooperate with their prosecution?
Because even if you have done nothing wrong, government prosecutors can threaten you with bogus charges and bankrupt you with legal expenses. So they offer you a plea deal to rat on other protestors, and if you got nothin' on anyone else, you will need to make something up. Meanwhile, those other protestors are being offered deals to rat on you. The loser is the guy that holds out the longest out of a misguided sense of honor.

You don't hack the ballot, you use propaganda to influence voters.
You mean just like politicians do?
No.
Politicians lie.
The Russians leaked the truth.

I'm sick of these lefties fresh mouths.
I think the lefties' behavior tarnishes their own cause, but I am skeptical of the righties' effort to ensure free speech by restricting speech.

It never seemed that the GOP was ever ideologically unified. Just look at the libertarian strain of GOP compared to a mainstream GOPer.
In the past, they were all unified by the desire to cut taxes (although not on how to pay for the cuts). Now, they are not even united on that.

I have no fucking clue what my zodiac sign is
I don't believe you. If you have this strong of an opinion about astrology, then you have almost certainly been exposed to it enough to know your sign.

If you grew up in America, and associated at all with "normal" people, I don't see how you could avoid it.
Then to fool the AI, all you need is an AI program to drive the mouse to mimic the original person.

I'm surprised it's not been used as an assassination tool yet.
How do you know that it hasn't?
Or can you write a formal, terminating, deterministic sequence of elementary steps for reliably generating "Eureka!" moments in humans?
There is no requirement that algorithms be formal. Or terminating. Or deterministic. Or a sequence. Or consist of elementary steps.
Exempli gratia: ANNs (Artificial Neural Nets).
therefore, not newsworthy
It is not only not newsworthy, it is garbage journalism designed to twist the facts and manufacture outrage. The reason these drugs are "deadly" is specifically because of their illegality.

Unless you don't know what you're doing, then you're going try "heuristically"
Heuristics are algorithms.
Said so well.

not ever subject is so easy that you can learn it by asking stupid questions.
"How do I start learning AI?" is not a stupid question.
they read the fucking manual before they asked any of those questions
Except there is no "manual" for AI. The only way for a beginner to know which book to read is ... to ask.
If you have to ask, it is too hard.
Nonsense. Everyone has to start somewhere. Often the most intelligent people ask the most basic questions, because questioning basic premises that "everyone knows" can occasionally lead to the biggest breakthroughs.
Also, in a forum like Slashdot, replies are directed at everyone, not just at the person asking the question.
There are countries that will continue to fund those efforts and there are countries that won't.
Most of these efforts are being funded by profit-seeking capitalists, not "countries".
