  1. Test and a Pill on Owning a Cat Does Not Lead To Mental Illness, Study Finds (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a test and a pill they can give to cats and people? Who wants these fricken parasites in them anyway.

  2. FFT's so instead of a bunch of squares it's a bunch of blurry squares. What the technology does is paint in arbitrary face data into the squares. Or dogs there are dogs everywhere! Bbbbooooowwww OWOwwwwwwwwwww......~~~*8,.9()090...

  3. The algorithm can paint anything it wants into those squares. Want a video of Donald Trump getting peed on? Just film a low res video and have the algorithm paint his face into the place of the actors.

  4. Re:I'll be buying my first non-HTC smartphone on HTC's New Flagship Phone Has AI and a Second Screen, But No Headphone Jack (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Ghost commander and connect bot.
    Sorry no X forwarding. No one has really made that work.

  5. O-o
    What happened to the rice!?

  6. Obama just announced his legacy. Just in time for a trump presidency too!

  7. LG-VS985/ cyanogen mod.
    Still good

  8. The battery needs to be pulled when this thing gets wet.
    Not if, when.

  9. The AI, is it just another broken voice command interface? Can I ask it how much a ten inch by eight inch by twenty inch box of water would weigh and expect an answer that isn't just a butchered version of the question inserted into a google search.

  10. It has an SD slot!

  11. SD and battery on HTC's New Flagship Phone Has AI and a Second Screen, But No Headphone Jack (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Does it have an SD slot and a removable battery. If not, still a non buy.

    Also, I'm sure pages are mining bitcoin with the bloatware that is Javascript.

  13. I actually don't care if the page is slow. on Slashdot Asks: Why Are Browsers So Slow? (ilyabirman.net) · · Score: 1

    The real problem is that the browser's interface freezes up based on the content of the page. This is a design failure. If we lived in happyland where these programs were designed for the user, the tabs would have preemptable time slices and a processor butget. The user interface should never freeze. A back page should drop the processing of any scripts and closing a tab should free the memory of the tab without additional processor time juggling the content. Misbehaving pages would just go the way of the Dodo.

  14. Re:Outsource jobs, blame AI, bring 3rd world on White House: US Needs a Stronger Social Safety Net To Help Workers Displaced by Robots (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, where are these automated factories that are displacing workers. They must be in China because all we have here is dilapidated and abandoned industrial buildings.

  15. Re:oh, great on Google Responds On Skewed Holocaust Search Results (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between opinions and facts that are objectively false though. Also, is it google's place to provide equal weight to people who advocate violence especially when they are gaming the algorithm?

  16. Re:oh, great on Google Responds On Skewed Holocaust Search Results (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    AI, is not to the point where is has it own crap detector. They quickly absorb the psychoses of the searching public. Remember poor Tay. She was not raised right. This means it is absolutely appropriate to have human intervention in these rankings.

  17. I just type, Speeling happens if it hapens.

  18. Can't we say this about any libraries though? But, I see your point. So many "coding" toys teach what programming isn't. Like this lump of gold.

    http://www.meccano.com/meccano...

    It's not even Touring complete. All of its "programming" is just sequencing. It's as much of a robot as Teddy Ruxbin.
    To actually program with this you have to replace the controller with an Arduino.

  19. Re:Michael Flynn Jr believes it on Fake News Prompts Gunman To 'Self-Investigate' Pizza Parlor (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The stupid things he said. Did he even, in fact, say them? I heard he thought the pyramids were for storing grain during the time of Moses. Ouch!
    Proving the flimflam wrong is considerably harder than authoring it.

    I just don't know anymore.

  20. Re:Good Digital assistants? on Amazon Said to Plan Premium Alexa Speaker With Large Screen (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Or better yet, ask it whether there's a way to reduce the total entropy on the universe.

  21. Good Digital assistants? on Amazon Said to Plan Premium Alexa Speaker With Large Screen (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I haven't tried them. Are any of these particularly useful? Will they act as hands free interfaces while driving? Can they truly parse human language? If I ask it how much a ten inch by ten inch by ten inch cube of water weighs, can it put together an answer?

  22. You mean 7zip?

    Do the researchers faces light up when the horse points to the right symbol?
