Did they simply went with the visual look of it? Probably did some simulations on a computer and compared and decided its water. I would be shocked by such low quality of Science behind it if that was the case. Extra ordinary claims require

Ponzi scheme is a scam where buyer is fooled into buying something that has no value. Here if the painting is used as an apparatus to move money, it becomes sort of a currency to move $450 million dollars. As long as the big money movers ho

Every now and then i see article like this. It is common sense and majority of the engineers are complaining about open offices. BUT i don't see any news or changes happening in creating "focus friendly" work environment. Whe

I believe Human brain also reuses abstract concepts it learn from other data. Such as eyes. So when a new animal is shown its very easy to find eyes on it and does not need another million images of that new animal to detect it's eyes.

When you say High performance culture, does it mean you have to work more than 8 hours a day? Is it butt-in-the-seat culture? if not, how do you measure performance? Would be great to know.

This analogy can't work in 21st century. First this is linear thinking, it does not take exponential progress into account. Second, in the case of Autonomous vehicles, the problem is purely software related and does not have any limita

Congratulations to Kip Thorne. I used to attend his lectures and sometimes greet him in the parking lot if I happen to come across at Caltech. Even though Caltech is not far from Hollywood I always thought these people are the real super st

This. This i believe is the how its going to turn out. Specialized AIs cooperating and creating higher level abstractions. It may not be AGI at first but Practical AI that could be used for real world applications where human intelligence i

I think 99% of developers fall into the "Type 2" as you describe.

Not just two states but causality. Something causes something else to happen. Although Sean Carroll says causality is an illusion, everything is "pre-defined". This just happen to flow one direction at a macro scale.

The whole idea that Universe is a simulation vs real is absurd to me. What if the Universe is a simulation running in a computer no one actually built but just fluctuated into existence. Does that make it more real or still a simulation?

War on drugs in the US has been acting as a Gym that made police very aggressive. Just like more stress you give to your muscle it grows stronger. Everyone is a suspect rather than a civilian in need of some help and service.

In Los Angeles I see so many cops driving black mustang cars, a predator style car. As if they enjoy their predator status and want to express and enforce their masculinity on the community. Every time I see a cop car it makes me nervous j

I interviewed with two different teams at Apple recently and they gave me the same answer. Most teams are using Objective-C and not even touching Swift. Which is pretty strange given they are shouting out of their lungs to other developers

The only difference is that in normal ads you provide ads to people who are looking for such product. While here you are trying to do the opposite. For example, I am searching for Drone because I really love them and decided that I want to

I guess Kurzweil and Elon spend some time on WhatsApp. But since Elon thinks in terms of first principles. He probably has this reasoning: 1. Are the any laws of physics that stop us from creating AI ? Answer is No. Nature already built it

I totally agree that Amazon would not "wish" to risk their reputation by snooping on their customers, however if they are forced to do so they might comply. Perhaps Echo is not installed in many homes for it to be any interest of
