You truly are an anonymous coward. An incomprehensibly babbling one. I have no idea how any of the words you wrote relate to my posts. I challenge you to spew your nonsense under your real identity. And take your meds please.
It's not all about power....differentiators are...

Price. It will probably cost $500. A similarly equipped Windows PC would be $1,000+
Ease of use. No viruses. No configuring software and hardware. Guaranteed game performance.
Long life. 7+ yrs of life cycle with no upgrades to play all games.
You seem pretty ignorant. I take it you haven't travelled much. Yes, there here are thousands of Gods, probably more. Several dozen come to mind in the half minute I take to brainstorm...and I only know a tiny fraction of what there is to know in the world. I bet some Indian tribes could give you a hundred Gods just for their culture alone.
Sure, we all have cyber warfare groups...but I don't think most are actively attacking commercial interests with the goal of stealing IP for domestic companies to use like the Chinese do. I think most countries cyber efforts are more focused on defense related espionage.
Mycin used a bunch of rules to arrive at medical decisions. These had to be manually entered by medical experts which is time consuming, difficult, and outdated by the time it is completed. It was a narrowly focused, brittle system that strived to emulate the logic of it's designers.
The newer approaches (like the kind from this article) build their own probabilistic models of medical diagnosis and treatment based on statistical analysis of data. Lots and lots of data. Data that would have taken hundreds of years to process in the 1970s. From this, they learn what works and what doesn't and under what circumstances independent of the knowledge of its designers. In effect, it can be better than its creators.
I think a major problem with the current approach is communication. Doctors rarely communicate with each other and for cases where a patient is trying to figure out what's wrong with them and getting bounced around by specialists, no one really has the full picture, not even the primary.
A computer can have the full picture, assuming there is enough data for it to churn on, and given enough population data to train on, it inevitably will arrive at evidence based diagnosis and treatment options better than any human...for the stuff that's understood.
That's why this reeks of a marketing department coming up with this nonsense rather than anyone who actually understands the technology. I mean shit, they store your fucking emails. All of them. How crazy is that. Besides, there is plenty for us to gain by having machines understanding of what we're doing (i.e. context). It's not just only for advertising. Spam filtering is a good example.
Not sure where you went or what your spending habits were, but when I was in grad school, my tuition was fully covered and I had no problem covering my expenses with my stipend. I even saved a bit each month. None of my peers struggled either.
$350????? I just got a Kindle tablet for $200. Why would I want to spend almost 2x the money for something heavier, with worse battery life, a worse screen and no touch input?
still...chances are that this thing will crash to the ground and kill some innocents long before it is used to identify and thwart a foreign attack on D.C.
really...what foreign power would even consider attacking the US homeland...let alone D.C? It would mean their annihilation. this money could be better spent on improving D.C. schools.
7. Speech recognition. Computerized version of break audio into components, looking them up in a translation table, and report results.
8. Automatic language translation. Computerized version of looking something up in a translation table and reporting results.
Most everything can be described as a look up table if you break it down. The hard part is learning, building, maintaining, storing, updating, and searching, the structure and content of these tables in real time. This is where true algorithm innovation has occurred.
Ironic how China is so heavily centralized and regulated and they are suffering from this problem. It seems like such high levels of regulation would provide them the opportunity to be one of the cleanest countries.
Political speak is far too nuanced for a computer based approach to detect truthiness. There is too much implied information, context, irony, satire, etc. that it won't accurately reflect.
At the graduate level...most of these international students get a full ride. At least that's how I've seen it done. Nothing wrong with that...let's just make sure we keep them here to make the USA stronger rather than give them the boot.
It's our competitive advantage that the best and brightest young people from all over the world want to come to the USA to study. It helps us to brain drain the rest of the world for our own benefit. We should do more to keep these people in the USA when they graduate. Most want to stay. Even in cases where they do go back to their own countries, we gain soft diplomacy by exporting our way of life to other parts of the world.
No. It's not. It's just not. The damage is at worst embarrassing. At best, you just don't give a fuck. STDs could kill ya. It's not wrong to transmit photos. Just understand the risks.
which is problematic because that's how it should have been in the first place. Put the guy in jail for a yr or two. No need for us to support him in jail for 100 yrs. Craziness.
like your Linux example..but there is a hidden recovery partition on the Windows Tablet which mirrors the visible partition. That, at least, accounts for some of the usage.
I guess the argument is that the file sharing is more financially damaging to the RIANZ customers than if you had literally smashed their window or broken shit in their office. May seem counterintuitive at first but makes sense.

if the collapse itself is at the speed of light, won't we see the shift just as we collapse?
(Insert one or more of the thousands of Gods that people believe in) destroying the earth.

The big difference here is in technologies.

I think we've had our share of big breakthroughs...
smart phone
internet
OLED
GPS
Social Media
Autonomous car
speech recognition (w/ 99%+ accuracy)
automatic language translation
etc...
I think this will be limited to the absolute facts like
votes for/against bills
verifying quotes
world data facts
domestic data (i.e. job numbers/change in numbers)

It's not called being lazy. It's called SURVIVING on LIMITED RESOURCES, ....
And I totally pictured a bunch of nerds in their parent's basements living off energy drinks and cheetos...reaching for their mouse
