Pretty sure a robot with unpredictable behavior would soon be illegal. There's a vast spectrum of human intelligence, agency, and self-awareness. I'm thinking that robots would of necessity have to be by design on the low end of t

It is interesting to think about. Strange though that people can't think about robots without anthropomorphizing them. I see this in the movies. The robot doesn't want to be turned off, all because WE equate being turned off with

This actually comes up a lot - people writing about problems inherent in Asimov's laws. What I never see is what you would replace them with, and the problems inherent in that. That omission to me is scarier than these 3 laws.

It is worthwhile noting that people are sensitive to titles like this, and "chinese spy" is probably an unwarranted term. It does seem true that the Apple employee was taking all kinds of IP with him to a competitor. That's i

Shannon was a speaker at my commencement at CMU. He struck me as kind of a self-effacing, amusing sort of character. Maybe like a much quieter, less ego-driven version of Feynman. Also: as much as people talk about information theory in var

Just be aware of Cadmium safety issues, as with many other art materials. People can mistakenly treat art supplies like they are completely non-toxic, and that is a mistake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_pigment

An octocopter, from the renderings. They call it a dual-quadcopter. That may indicate that the configuration is for control redundancy, as well as increased lift and compactness.

Aye. There may be some special definition of the word “crisis” known only to copy editors.

Yeah! I wondered that too - humans will make a complex determination is the guy in front will not be moving anytime soon when it is not the case that traffic is just stopped. It is nice though that they seem to be recognizing hazard lights.

This is a concept car - which is fine, I was just confused to find only CGI renders and apparently one full-size mockup. I like concept cars, this just seemed to be presented as a working prototype.

Deliberate network policies to not forward multicast. So you can only see multicast advertisement on your local segment, and it always seems the device you want to see is on another network segment.
