But it's a matter of perception. If you're over 40 it's assumed by management that you can't learn anything new. Nevermind the fact that you've probably already learned the new skill on your own before it was actually required by the job if you've been watching the industry.
They aren't necessarily intrinsically bad, per se. It's just that people either make mistakes (introduce bugs) or are malicious (abuse it). It's why we can't have nice things.
Forget human conversations... With the 140 limit gone now I'm wondering if it will now be more usable as a public MQTT broker or other communication bus.
Security and performance concerns aside, of course....
No. These "robots" are not acting on their own free will. It is a recording made by someone, dialing a phone on that someone's behalf.
It is the "someone" here that is protected, not the machine acting on his/her behalf.
Calling it "autopilot" in the first place is the problem as it causes the user to make incorrect assumptions about the car's capability. A good practice in system design is to name features in a way that matches the user's mental model how they expect it to function. That is a mistake on Tesla's part.
If this feature is meant to assist highway driving, then call it "highway assist" or whatever else sets expectations properly, but, FFS, do not call it autopilot if it does not function like one.
The article says, Ross *applied* for the patent in 1992. It also says the application was abandoned due to non payment of the *filing* fee, so this wasn't even a granted patented. The application didn't get anywhere in the filing process. There's no patent to even infringe on in the first place.
Yes. It's clear that MS is trying to turn the PC into a walled garden with advertising. It's like they took the AOL software from the 90s, combined it with more modern data mining concepts, and said "Hey let's make this the operating system!"
If the code is able to catch an out-of-memory condition in the first place (as evidenced by the selection of the tree pic for said condition), why didn't the error message just mention "Out of Memory" instead of "Software Fatal Error"?
Similarly, I have tried some of the VR technology -- not Oculus, but a couple others (some still in development). It's impressive. The first time you put one of those headsets on, you will go, "Whoa!" If you're like me, you will proceed to tell many of your friends about it and how neat the experience was. But you will not buy one.
That was precisely my own experience after I tried the Oculus in 2014.
Yeah, the last time we had this in the US was WWII, with industry across the country producing something for the war effort. Now the money just flows to a good ol' boys club of defense contractors.
I think we need to focus on who made those decisions.
This. The project was set up to fail from the outset before a single line of code was written with the unrealistic deadline. Unrealistic targets are not achievable just because management says "make it so".

Or learn new skills.

Perhaps when you have computers that can handle errors more gracefully than "PC LOAD LETTER" I might think about taking him seriously.
PC LOAD LETTER? WTF does that mean?

Uber is "ride sharing" in the same sense that a self-balancing scooter with no handlebars is a "hoverboard"
Even if you have good speech-to-text to make the voice messages searchable, you might as well have just stuck with email. No point.

Worked great for Circuit City!
Just to annoy people he should use this to watch Star Wars movies.
Everybody, eeeeeeverybody, everybody eeeeeeeeeverybody should have a black box! Ow.
From my experience, people think it's actually in India.
Good rule. Since at least the in short term, that psychopath will be you....

A short, concise, thought-out video demonstration of a task can be more informative than pure text.
However, most of these DIY videos are neither short nor well thought-out. Such videos take effort to produce.
If you can't take the time to do a good job with a video, you'd save time by writing the simple paragraph. A maybe have a static image or two.

Yes this works great, until MS pushes an update that breaks GWX Control Panel.
The fact that a third party application is now needed to maintain control of your PC from Microsoft is a very bad sign.
Once GWX Control Panel breaks, I migrate fully to Linux and avoid this cat and mouse game. Windows 7 will be my last MS operating system.
The only way to win is not to play....
And the credit.

The bible quotes would be relevant if there were enough people who followed them to become a global problem today. But there isn't.
And a problem with another religion doesn't somehow discredit claims of a problem with another. This is a classic tu quoque fallacy.
Either way it's still a good idea...
massive civilian benefit from defense spending.
