Jokes aside, some scientists reckon that it takes more than a human brain to understand the human brain, and by doing that they basically admit that we won't be able to recreate (human level) intelligence.
I don't share such a pessimistic POV, because I still want to believe we'll be able to recreate the human brain by making its replica in silicon but then we'll still be faced with the problem of trying to understand how the damn thing works. And this replica is simply unattainable with current technology. Yeah, just a single human brain which consumes 20W of energy is beyond the reach of our super advanced fabrication processes. It's mind boggling really.
It would be great if every sensationalist story about AI or its future on/. contained a link to the openworm project. You see, when we cannot yet understand how 302 neurons work, it takes quite a leap of imagination to think that we'll create AGI any time soon. There's just too much of a leap from AI (more like very specialized algos for certain tasks) to AGI (which is capable of solving the tasks in has never seen before in any form or shape).
There's no plot twist, there's just a final revelation which will be largely unknown among the Russians because most media outlets are controlled by the Kremlin, as well as the largest social network in Russia.
Everyone with a brain perfectly understands that Putin has always been lying about the state of surveillance and privacy in Russia. Largely there's none, because there's no law when it concerns the men in power. They do as they please.
This has yet to be implemented in AOSP and most Open Source AOSP forks like LineageOS. I've been thinking about this idea recently but I don't really travel so it doesn't concern me much.
At the quarterly earnings call, he blamed the leaks about the upcoming iPhone models as one of the reasons that slowed down the sales of current generation iPhone models.
Nope, that's BS for investors. I will name three other more pertinent reasons:
Firstly, yearly upgrades are very incremental for all intents and purposes. I'd even venture to say that the modern smartphone warrants an upgrade every two to three years.
Secondly, iPhones are not so much better than their sub $400 Android counterparts. They are better, true, but they don't justify a twofold increase in the price.
Thirdly, you cannot expect to sell in increasing quantities absolutely the same bulky design with huge bezels for three consecutive years. People expect to get some tangible changes from their upgrades, and a new design (even if it's slightly different as seen in the car industry) is quite important.
Too bad, CEOs and marketing people are clueless idiots in regard to design and functionality and I don't see this flat idiocy being killed any time soon. After all it's foisted by Apple and if Apple does that, that must be right, right?
Businesses are reluctant to deal with Bitcoin because it's nothing but stable, transactions (confirmation times) are nothing but certain, there's this whiff of something which is used for illegal purposes to launder money and it's still largely unknown aside from those who read tech news. Over 95% of general population have no idea what Bitcoin is and how it can be used.
Second, "the fee is not evaluated relative to the transaction value. The fee is evaluated relative to the transaction size in bytes.
In other words, whether you send one cent or a thousand dollars worth of bitcoins, the required fee is the same".
I use WinAMP/Foobar under Windows and Audacious/Juk under Linux.
I would have used Juk everywhere and for everything but it's abandoned and it doesn't support streaming audio.
As for their time shares it'll be: Juk 48% (my audio library), Audacious 48% (streaming audio), WinAMP 2% and Foobar 2%. I guess you can easily see that I don't use Windows much.
I'm sorry for being blunt but "a port misconfiguration" should not even be theoretically possible on mission critical devices. They should not be accessible directly (and indirectly as well) from the world wide net.
A lot of developers develop their apps in a vacuum, e.g. they test their apps on a relatively clean device which doesn't have any other apps installed aside from the OS itself. It's easy to see why they don't really care how much space their apps occupy.
Mind that "unveils" in this case means a paper launch and the actual video cards will be released after August, 14, 2017. Or even later considering the number of delays to this point.
Given everything that we already know about this AMD's GPU generation one can only wonder why they release these GPUs at all. Underpowered, consuming twice as much power as the nearest competition (~350W vs 180W), costing too much to produce (HBM2) and most likely resulting in a huge write off when the company desperately needs successful competitive products to stay afloat. Consumer Vega is anything but.
I still want to believe that Vega to AMD is like Fermi to NVIDIA and AMD's new generation of GPUs will be actually competitive.
This fine is moronic on so many levels I'm just cringing in disbelief:
Google search engine is not a public service - they don't owe anything to anyone, they are free to show whichever results they want to and deem necessary.
Google is not the only search engine in the world - there's Bing, Yahoo and others. How on earth can they abuse their "monopolistic" position if there's none?
Google is not selling you their search engine - it's provided basically free of charge (sans ads you may or may not click).
The Register article has got BetaArchive a fair amount of attention this evening. They claim, and I quote âoe32TB of Windows 10 internal builds, core source code leak onlineâ.
First of all let us clear up a few facts. The âoeShared Source Kitâ folder did exist on the FTP until this article came to light. We have removed it from our FTP and listings pending further review just in case we missed something in our initial release. We currently have no plans to restore it until a full review of its contents is carried out and it is deemed acceptable under our rules.
The folder itself was 1.2GB in size, contained 12 releases each being 100MB. This is far from the claimed âoe32TBâ as stated in The Registerâ(TM)s article, and cannot possibly cover âoecore source codeâ as it would be simply too small, not to mention it is against our rules to store such data.
At this time all we can deduct is that The Register refers to the large Windows 10 release we had on March 24th which included a lot of Windows releases provided to us, sourced from various forum members, Windows Insider members, and Microsoft Connect members. All of these we deemed safe for release to BetaArchive as they are all beta releases and defunct builds superseded by newer ones, and they were covered under our rules.
If any of this should change we will remove these builds from the FTP and we will happily comply with any instructions to do so by Microsoft.
With regards to the BBC article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/tech... about two Britons that have been arrested following an alleged Microsoft hack, we donâ(TM)t believe there is any connection with this alleged âoeWindows 10 core source code leakâ.
Update 09:58 GMT 24/06/2017
A spokesperson for Microsoft contacted The Register and said: "Our review confirms that these files are actually a portion of the source code from the Shared Source Initiative and is used by OEMs and partners."

The example.com domain is getting abused again and again. I almost pity its owners.
Mind that the x86 CPU in this comparison has 95W TDP, while the Apple A11 consumes less than 5W. Now, that is real progress. Intel should be ashamed.
Can be seen here. And here's a comparison with the Intel Core i5 2500 which is still considered a wonderful desktop CPU.

My only question is, does Apple sell different devices in the US and Europe? Strangely, Apple customers in the EU enjoy a 2 years warranty.

We've already discussed that.

Seagate stats don't make any sense: ST4000DM001 - 400 - 5 - makes it 1.25% failure rate - I see 30.43% in the table. Likewise with ST4000DX000.
Could anyone explain how the f they calculated Seagate data?
Doom (2016) and Quake Champions are pretty close to their ancestors. Quake Champions even features a map which closely resembles the one in Quake 3.

Windows XP + IE11. It's still a wonderful OS.

Should the roads be secure by default?
I'd be glad if they switched to LineageOS or even became a patron to this Android fork.
Pure Android (even version 8.0) is still very limited.
