Well if they're like Bose, you'll be fine as long as you don't install their helpful app.

I could conceive of a high-fallutin' fidget cube for your mind constructed from this technology. I could also see it used for both a lie detector and a biofeedback tool to defeat its use as such. But what really comes to mind is the fi

If he's from China (and I'm assuming so), I'm not so surprised. It's a status thing culturally. I've had my ideas at work dismissed on the basis of my not attending an Ivy League school by the sort that spouts con

Ergo we should immediately arrest all gunmakers because it's hard to think of another use for guns besides killing things or practicing the art of killing things, no?

GP100 supports FP16 FMAD GP102 supports INT16 and INT8 MAD with 32-bit accumulation Overall, not impressed with Stratix 10. It won't be cost effective, it's not much more power-efficient, and Volta will likely leapfrog it across

My cat stayed by my side to her last day, whereupon she decided to hide in the box I had prepared for her body a week earlier. She had wasted away to 2/3 her normal weight and was having a horrible time breathing, it was time, and it s

Same thing happened to my cat, I took it to the vet to have a bladder stone removed, and I left with a 2 month terminal cancer diagnosis for her. At least she got a month of life without the bladder stone before she wasted away. Stupid sto

Sure, that's possibly true. But if the ensemble of governments planetwide are mostly doing worse than the US(1), then you need to consider it might not be humanly possible to do much better even if it's obvious how to do better t

by AIMunchkin 10y ago
Well yes it is actually, by collecting more data, you are doing a better job marginalizing the distribution of government corruption and waste across the planet. And that can make a seemingly bad thing turn out to actually be relatively

So what would happen if someone created a youtube account called "NotUCBerkeley" and reuploaded all these videos with their playlists intact? Asking for a friend of course!

As someone who has early adopted technology since childhood, I'm surprisingly contrarian on this. And it's not the tech, it's the state of society and industry that's making me feel this way. For I want said technology

Well, why don't you learn a concurrent language like Go, CUDA, or OpenCL and do something about that? From my vantage point, I remain amazed that people have fled concurrent programming in an age where the hardware for doing so has not

These days, I've noticed hip phone menu systems hang up on you when you try to destroy America chanting this obvious codeword to commence the attack.

It's not a best programming language fight. In my experiences in the industry, an enormous of amount of technical debt and operational inefficiency is accrued when someone ignorant of how machines and processors actually work (SIMD, c

IMO (to be fair, some) CS people became engineering bottlenecks the day the universities switched out teaching C/C++ for Java and Python (IMO the Why Not Zoidberg? of programming languages). Those who learned C/C++ anyway became

How about unlocking access to ImageNet? Unless one has a .edu account, its overlords seem to ignore requests to access it. Mind you, it's relatively easy to social engineer access to it, but why should this be necessary? OpenAI and

I'm going to post a contrarian viewpoint that unless your product is self-contained and it can continue on without you if you are hit by a truck or even acqui-hired for top $, I will avoid you. Too many pay apps and even games with DLC

If they like your game, they'll turn it back on. And it's nice to espouse principles like yours, really, it's nice, but the spammers don't care about your principles and they're making everything suck. Perhaps Goog

As someone who has worked at several of the listed companies in that plot, that's significantly more accurate (IMO of course) than either Glassdoor or the Salary data.

100% agreed, given that newer cars now have 4G connectivity, one ought to be able to subscribe for a modest fee to download it.

True, but more likely I suspect is that in 2018 and beyond they'll offer a navigation option. Then again, they still don't offer blind spot indicators on the corvette so who knows? As for me, I just bought a car this year, and wh

In my case, I'm still quite happy with the Nav system in my wife's 2009 Rav 4 actually. It works as intended to this day. It's missing some fanciness, but I'm just not about the fancy.

Au contraire, I much prefer my 2016 car's built-in navigation system with consistent performance and features to the ADHD ever-changing, signal-dependent, random notifiers asking stupid questions, craptastic voice input, arbitrarily fa

Old timer rant: IMO Machine learning mostly doesn't work (yet) with a couple exceptions where tremendous amounts of energy and talent have made that happen. For example, image processing with conv nets is really cool, but the data set

One of the amazingly dumb things about my Nexus 6 is that when it's listening for my voice it still plays incoming SMS message tones that it then takes in as part of speech recognition and messes it up. Why? Really, just why? I end u
