That's the point--the LAST people with jobs will be AI programmers, but they probably wouldn't have long to celebrate that status.

Well that makes sense, given that basically all machine learning is transformations over matrices and that is Matlab's bread and butter. The equivalent C code might perform better when optimized, but it is going to be far longer and ug

No, according to the CDC: > Heating or boiling your water will not remove lead. Because some of the water evaporates during the boiling process, the lead concentration of the water can actually increase slightly as the water is boiled.

There really is... diff tools that point to the compiler (or a parse tree for dynamically-typed languages) could be so much smarter than what we have now.

I have no idea what I'd make with this, but knowing I could have something made this way is awesome :) Minor grammatical error: "How it works?" is not valid English. Instead this could be "How it works:", "How

Are you saying that something is not a law because DMV.org says so, or that the cop thought something was a law because DMV.org said so? DMV.org is not a government website.

How would you compute the MPG for that? You have no idea where in Maine they drove to. From Boston to the northernmost town in Maine is 475 miles, so that would be 68 MPG one way.

Playing the 32X port of Doom with no save ability was a pain. The game inevitably crashed on level 16, but it took my brothers and I several entire Saturdays getting that far to realize it. I loved the game, it wasn't until years later

A satellite can appear to "stand still" from the perspective of an observer on the ground, so long as it orbits at the right altitude/speed (speed and altitude of an orbit are proportional); the satellite's orbital perio

It might just be that people who view classified government info leakers/whistleblowers negatively tend to lean conservative, and so do those who view trans people negatively. It doesn't necessarily have to be that her trans statu

The Reaper DAW (digital audio workstation) is another example. There's actually a lot of such 'nagware' in the audio world.

I don't understand why the console Netflix apps have the ability to show you exactly (ish) the quality you're currently streaming at (on PS3, hit 'select' button and it'll say "720p" or whatever it's

So it would seem purely based on these numbers that the Google cars have had about 4.5 times the mean rate of property-damage-only crashes. However, these statistics don't show us what the shape of the curve looks like, so we have no i

I find the Lenovo battery manager mildly useful; not amazing, but enough that I installed it on a fresh Windows install on my work Carbon. It just gives me more granular control than the Windows power options.

Fan-fiction doesn't require you to have bought the original work to read (though having read the original may affect your enjoyment of the fanfic). Honda doesn't get a cut if I have my car modded at an independent shop.

My only claim to expertise is playing a lot of Kerbal Space Program, but I'm not sure this is practical. I don't think an air-breathing tow plane could fully replace a rocket first stage. Even if it can lift a launch vehicle to th

Then why put a data port on it at all? Either they expect you to do everything through the cloud or they don't. If they expected enough people to plug stuff into it that it was worth putting a USB port on it, that means expect that the

But I didn't say they could do anything to a person- I said they could lie to them. It doesn't matter how sure you are that someone is a suspect for something like this, because nobody's rights are being infringed.
