It will not be long before the AI neural network aggregate more data and determine, these 335 lives are not worth saving. What is the real incentive for artificially intelligent to save the naturally stupid?
All developers remember bad IT interactions and forget the good ones. The VPN portal is rock solid and gives a nice throughput of 5 Gbps, "yeah, sure, great". IT showed up with replacement headphones for skype calls the same afternoon. "Good ok, big deal". It ran bit9 that killed the build process randomly, "these IT nitwits never do anything right..."
IT forgets all the developers who do it by the book and cause no trouble. But that developer who used to the root of some CFD lab in grad school 20 years ago wants to be root now and install random packages from unknown websites in his machine, or opens TCP-IP ports, reassigns UDP ports for the daemons... He will be remembered and talked about, "Do you know what that idiot did today ?..."
Looks like it is using parallax to determine the depth and the pixels at "infinity". Surprised it took this long to develop parallax based image stabilization.
One possible bug: If a moving object approaches the camera at the same bearing, parts of it would be marked as "inifinity" and create weird effects.
Parallax based depth determination is one of the reasons for birds striking aircraft. Aircraft might escape with minor damage or a major disaster, but the bird almost always dies! It is in its interest to avoid hitting the plane. But birds have eyes on the side, not overlapping stereoscopic field of vision. The determine depth by parallax, they are constantly moving, and unchanging parts of the image on the retina are at infinity and changing parts are closer. That is why birds sitting on branches constantly cock their heads back and forth to get depth perception. When a bird approaches a plane such that the plane is at constant bearing, it things the plane is far way at inifinity.
Would very much like to test this "app" by approaching the camera at a constant bearing to see what it does.
I am sure a big company like Allegro will have all the critical information replicated in multiple locations. I am sure they restored all the data in a few seconds and laughed at the stupid sys admin. Right? That is how the story should have ended
That story claims Facebook is following Microsoft trajectory. The question is where is it in the trajectory? Lotus123 vs Excel or Wordperfect vs Word, Netscape vs Internet Explorer, Google vs Bing....
Didn't we last month some story about MsDev IDE taking one full core to implement the blinking cursor? They probably tuned the code for this specific test.
That seems to be the gist of the summary. Two different reports, one counts Chromebook as PCs show mild growth. Another that did not count Chromebook showed continued decline. The headline seems to suggest somehow Chromebooks are boosting the sales of PCs.
If only they had born in.ua or.ru or even in.ng they would have had flourishing careers as top dons or at least as top henchmen to top dons. Sad they ended up in USA. Their local don, the for-profit-prison industrial complex cronies do not see the value in the phenomenal access they have to local talent.
Right now the rebooking fees and cancellation fees are so atrocious, people whose plans change simply abandon the ticket. If the government declares these abandoned seats as "lost, unclaimed or abandoned property", then the airlines have to send the fare they had collected to the State. This will make the airlines
reduce the cancellation fees to make it worthwhile for people to actually cancel their tickets. And this will definitely reduce their profits, from status quo. But status quo encourages them to abuse it without any restraint.
Researchers say that 74% of these abusive listings were for local businesses in the U.S. and India, mainly in pockets around certain local hotspots, especially in large metropolitan areas such as New York, Chicago, Houston, or Los Angeles.
I am sure one of these large metro areas is in India, why else would they include India in the countries list?
35 cities in India with population more than 1 million.
Top 50 cities in USA
As DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis put it last year, "There are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible positions."
When you are talking to a technical audience, it is best to avoid using scientific notation. Right?
The investment needed for hyperloop is so high I am not sure there is enough traffic in USA to support it. May be Japan, may be Europe. But even in Japan the next generation of maglev bullet trains with speeds exceeding 500 kmph is forever in development and concept stage.
Given the urban sprawl and ubiquitous cars there is no real point in connecting old city centers with other city centers.
One of the suggested routes is Chicago-Pittsburgh. The distance between I76-I79 intersection north of Pittsburgh and I294-I80 intersection south of Chicago is about 480 miles. A non stop train at 160 mph can cover it in 3 hours. If it is possible to drive a car on to a flat bed car at I76-I79, park and sit inside the car for three hours while the train hauls you up to I80-I294 could be developed at reasonable cost. Add a few passenger cars for "first class" and let people sit in their own cars for "economy". Add concessionaires for food service for another line of revenue.
If highway intersections about 450 miles apart are connected by such trains covering them in 3 hours, and if there is a network of them and if the service has enough frequency, there will be enough demand for it. You save on rental cars where you go, and you can travel 900 miles a night on two legs, without paying for motel/hotel. Saving on tolls too.
Rolling friction between steel wheels and steel rails is so low, a two ton car goes 225 miles on a gallon of gas. 450 miles in three hours for a 2 ton car and five passengers can be priced competitively with gas and tolls. For USA such a solution that allows you to take the car with you is a lot more appealing because of the car culture and the lower population density.
I grew up in India with very cheap trains. I could catch a train at 10pm in Bangalore, with a sleeper berth, and wake up in Chennai or Hyderabad after a good night sleep. I have seen how expensive it is to grade and level and lay tracks. It is a criminal waste we let wonderfully graded rail right of ways decay and rot without proper maintenance. Worse, we let the continuous rights of way be broken into fragments by selling off a few parcels of land along the way. We won't be able to rebuild them ever.
The reports from people who engaged in cannibalism, (like the survivors of the Donner party or people interviewed in Papua New Guinea) say that human flesh is not all that tasty.Though gorilla meat is sometimes sold is bush meat in Africa, chimp meat is not common. Our flesh is likely to taste like chimp meat, we have split from chimps just 3 million years ago. So...
Work from home, make 80K a month. I get those mails all the time. This time they tried to make it look like a press release from Amazon. The editors seem to have fallen for it.
In India one of the menu options I had for Uber was, "book uber by text message". Did not use it, because I had a smart phone. But they are working on some kind of accommodation to the Luddites.
This is new start up.So it used brash language. Once it becomes established player and hires suites, they will do exactly the same thing but they will say it PR bullshitese.

err, sorry to break it to you. But you seem to be confusing expenses with income. The survey found income spiked or dipped by more than 25% from mean.
