  1. Re:2001 on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    But you had to see it in the original Cinerama.
    The effect of the journey through the wormhole seen on the giant screen,
    including all of your peripheral vision, was staggering.

  2. Re:Bladerunner... on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    I find most remarkable about BladeRunner is that it is almost 40 years old

    FTFY.

  3. Re:Fake news on US Dismantles Forensic Science Commission (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It's far more likely that the FBI et al. decided that it was a waste of time and resources (as many commissions are)

    Ignoring the law always saves time and resources. Good for crooked politicians, bad for everybody else.

  4. I am not sure the computers will be any different than the psychopaths currently pulling the strings.

    They won't do anything different, but they will do as much damage in a millisecond what it would take the humans days to achieve.

  5. Re:The Baysian statistics methods on A Big Problem With AI: Even Its Creators Can't Explain How It Works (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    The point is that ANN's and "Deep Learning Networks" are basically just statistical clustering algorithms with fancy "biologically inspired" names.
    They are not "intelligent", artificial or otherwise.

    Because fuck you, that's why.

  7. Re:This should lead to more concern about AI on Google's AlphaGo Will Face Its Biggest Challenge Yet Next Month -- But Why Is It Still Playing? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Calling any kind of game playing to be AI is complete and utter bullshit.

    Well, it is related to AI, but that's about all you can say for it.

    A better test would be to see if it can recognize its creator though a camera and decide to lose gracefully to them.

    Recommended if the creator is a Wookie.

    For an excellent, detailed book on the potential gifts and perils of AGI, I recommend Bostrom's book "Superintelligence."

    Yes, if you are into baseless conjectures about something that no one understands.

    There are two possibilities here.
    1. I'm lying.
    2. New search results were added to the index after I posted this.

    3. You're a fucking idiot.

  11. Re:Makes sense on Evidence That Robots Are Winning the Race for American Jobs (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Everybody who ever searched for a profit by building/providing/selling some products/service to the rest of the mob is the person who pushed the mob further as a consequence of his search for freedom.

    What happens when those "unproductive" people push back?
    Revolution, that's what. And roman_mir will be one of the first to be strung up.

  14. Re:Ticket prices... on Movie Theaters Haven't Innovated Beyond Popcorn, Says Netflix CEO (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    That's because you are being charged the douche-bag tax.

  15. In fact, for a system you say that no one would buy, there seem to be an awful lot of countries lining up to pay for it...

    And they are "paying for it" with grants from the U.S. government (i.e. the taxpayers).
    And no, they can't buy anything they want with the money: the U.S. government specifies that
    only certain arms (i.e. ones that make Raytheon rich) can be purchased with the money.

  16. So could Anton Yeltchin's.

  17. Flying is hours of boredom punctuated by seconds of pure terror.

    OK, but this post is about driving not flying.
    And nobody gets to fly a plane (with or without autopilot) without extensive training.
    This is not the case with a car.

    If and when they castrate the 2nd ammendment, their will be a 'million gun march' on DC. It's already been planned and will happen.

    And the federal SWAT teams will mow them down, like they did at Waco.

    Too bad you won't have a place to live, or way to pay for utilities, or the ingredients your 3D printer will need.

    The federal budget isn't an endless stream of money to be spent on whatever whim of the moment you have.

    No, some of it is meant to protect the helpless and needy, a group that fascists like you and "reason.com" hate.

    The difference being that modern physics is provably better than 19th century physics.
    There is nothing "provable" in economics.

    Look at Yahoo. The first, and for some time the best internet search engine. Now dust.

    Well, they just had 500,000,000 of their customer accounts hacked:

    I had no idea that they ever had that many customers, let alone in 2017.
