  3. Child Playing on Why Humans Learn Faster Than AI (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    I decided to teach my 2 year old child how to play a video game recently. I sat down and showed her what the keys do, how the snake moves, how to make progress, and how to get to the end. It wasn't an instant process. She had to be guided multiple times, taught what the directional keys do, and the names of everything she was interacting with.

    After some time, she was able to solve puzzles without guidance from me. Sitting her down in front of a video game with no knowledge at all make her just as clueless as an algorithm. She didn't know where to start, what this is, or how to interact with it.

    I imagine just as humans have, AI will have massive libraries of information to tap into before moving into a particular task. As long as they can analyze and figure out what they have been given (such as a video game), they would access a data set teaching them all of these things a computer already has learned in the past.

  4. Quick Details View on Google Starts Certificate Program To Fill Empty IT Jobs (axios.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I wish the article went into a quick view of the details. For anyone that doesn't want to look into it:

    * Expectation is that you are giving 8-10 hours a week for 8 months to achieve the certification
    * This is a subscription based service at $49/month
    * You can apply for financial aid for the courses you are taking to relieve the cost burden
    * Once you achieve the certification, then you will receive job seeking aid from Google/Coursera

    Like something that resembles a diet coke and mentos video, line em up with some type of rube goldberg configuration and video tape what happens when one of them explodes!

  6. Until you make it successfully then have to do a video interview with him on CNN.

  7. I just sat through a session talking about Intel's SSD line.

    There are a few technology differences that Intel is branding in their SSDs vs other vendors. But one of the main takeaways I took from their presentation is reliability.

    Intel has invested a lot of lab time into making sure their products are very stable. One of the most striking things they discussed is on a few competitor's SSDs they physically pulled the capacitors that perform some of their write buffers and the health check didn't even detect the issue. This would obviously cause corruption in certain scenarios and other issues.

  8. Re:It can't come soon enough... on US Regulators Issue Comprehensive Policy On Self-Driving Cars (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    You are looking for perfection in a perfect world. But the thing is that humans are making horribly bad decisions that a computer just wouldn't make. Humans KNOW it's dangerous to drive across traffic to get the exit they missed but they do it anyways. A computer would not.

    This will be phenomenally safer regardless if the computer may not be quite as good as the best driver on earth.

  9. Text on Facebook Is Wrong, Text Is Deathless (kottke.org) · · Score: 1

    I think a part of the Internet's appeal to some is the ability to post their opinion without personal judgement on the character. You can voice an opinion or ask a question quickly and mostly anonymously.

    We have been used to text with newspapers and the digital world for a really long time and it's certainly not going away.

    A good example of this is forums. I don't imagine forums being turned into video clips of you responding to replies. It's just too personal and involved (my hair has to be nice, have to be clothed, and can't be shoveling in ice cream while I talk).

    Now that's not to say that there can't be an increase in video usage. But I don't ever see it becoming a main source of the general internet public's way to create content.

  10. Re:Government willfully ignorant of their own laws on Security Expert Jailed For Reporting Vulnerabilities In Lee County, FL Elections (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You don't look for vulnerabilities in someone's 'public' place of business either. It's as if you broke into the library's safe and told the owner 'Your locking mechanism is out of date, I was able to break into it... Then I found your building access key in the safe so I decided to break into all of your employee's offices too."

    Quoted from the article: "Levin then went a step further and used the Lee County supervisor's username and password to gain access to other password protected areas."

  11. Why bring this up? on 20th Anniversary of Unabomber's Arrest (abc10.com) · · Score: 1

    She just turned into a troll... She learned that from the internet. GG Trolls, way to convert another one.

  13. Such a near sighted comment. -Wishing- an attack and deaths of many thousands and possibly millions of people just to 'stomp' an army into the ground.

    This isn't a video game, these are people's lives. Losing your parents, children, loved ones, and/or family is horrible every single time.

    Please don't think of wars at a macro level with a 'winner' and 'loser'. At the micro level, it's devastating; brothers that live their lives without limbs, children born without eyes, and sometimes lifetime poverty for families.

    I'm so appreciative of the fact that I've grown up without this is my life, but I do think it's made everyone forget about the real life impact wars have on people.

  15. Why is this a bad thing???? on The Internet of Broken Things (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm really confused why most commenters here have such a negative viewpoint on IoT.

    Many comments about "security is terrible", "I don't need internet connected devices, my X device works just fine."

    OK, then --don't-- buy it. But you have to realize that the market going through development of products to find consumer desire is a GOOD thing.

    Maybe 97% of all the devices end up going away (by the way, without a dollar that I spent on them). But those 3% of devices might actually be helpful and worth the cost; maybe they save lives.

    Trying new things and moving forward on an old concept (home automation) creates new options. I LIKE more options, it's the whole reason why I live longer. Please continue to innovate world.

    I've always thought that Trump just does this because he likes the attention. His comments lately may be him trying to get out of the race.

    Trump likes his riches too much to actually be president. It's never felt like he actually wants the job.

  18. Re:I have an idea on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    WW2 is no war to be looking for success in. This war is a worst possible outcome. Over 60 million people died which is a countable percentage of our world wide population at the time. Death on this level is unimaginable, painful, horrible, and a giant black mark on human history.

    Let's not talk about a successful outcome of this war. Let's talk about how to prevent these wars.

    WW2 arguably comes from more history of death, hate, and oppression. Humans have been doing this for thousands of years, and if your goal is to reduce human death & war, this has -not- been successful.

    It takes worry, planning, and very personal care to achieve a $2 million net worth in the first place. After so much work and dedication, you do not want to see this money disappear and potentially hurt your charitable, retirement and family trust fund plans.

    You should look up retirement costs. It's really expensive to live from age 60 to 90-100. You should start saving ASAP.

    What's the line then? There are millions of conflicts around the world that we can 'get involved with'. Saudi Arabia likes to behead and crucify people, should we 'get involved' with them? What is the number of wars and death it takes to make everyone do exactly what we want them to do?

    Did you know ISIS was born of intervention policies from the U.S. government? The reason why they are even around is because we are involved.

    Strangely enough, when you kill someone family members, they hate you every single time. I guess you should stamp out that hate with more death and hate...

    I'm most intrigued by this game's graphics. To me, this has a Crysis like element to it where this is next generation graphics.

    It makes sense that they were able to generate this kind of detail in a game that doesn't have a supreme amount of content. But because of this, it interests me. I can't name another game that looks quite like this.

    I haven't purchased a $60 dollar game in a long time so I'll likely pass on it. However, I do want to get my hands on a demo at some point.

    4 hour interview process on site that went really great all the way through, but a little weirdly with the hiring manager.

    Still didn't get the job, actually staying on topic a bit, because of age discrimination I presume. I was around 22 at the time...

    This article is valid and delivers more data to the subject.

    It's always a great thing to remind individuals of language within these site's terms of service. Due to the fact that I don't have time to find to comb through terms of service, this particular language was new to me. In general, most of us know that data on the internet isn't safe is a good assumption.

    I give a thumbs up to the author.
