But this is a little different, in the AI we want the ability to form syntactically correct sentences, but also some intelligence behind the sentences too. You as a human had another foundation of intelligence to lean on, your native langua

Well not exactly, if we had a cost function as intelligent as a human, the cost function to train the AI, would be an AI. Or maybe I'm completely off base here...

Human children have the great benefit of interactively learning from their parents and other humans raising them. Could we expect a child to learn to speak if they only heard recordings of existing speech with otherwise no human interaction

None that I know of, but multi-rotors lateral flight authority is often weak vs winds. So, I would worry that a big gas bladder might strongly exacerbate that by requiring a much higher capability vs wind. But then again, a hybrid might not

This application might not need that much lateral performance, and the cg as is gives you nice static stability margin where you can relax all sorts of other requirements (control loop can be slower, the nav sensors can be lower performance

Yes, definitely, but scaling volume to carry payload mass becomes inconvenient for casual use quickly. Cheating the calcs a bit and using the table here: http://www.chem.hawaii.edu/uham/lift.html A 3.5oz (~99gram) Go p

If you need long endurance, then you likely need a fixed-wing system. In general, the efficiency goes: fixed wing > complex single rotor (helicopter) > multi-rotor (e.g. quadcoptor)

CEOs sign agreements like this regularly - well, maybe structured a bit differently. The company doesn't want the CEO to leave shorter than some nominal time - so some portion of the compensation is structured to mature over time. The

Globalization plays it's part, but I think the real root cause is the shift in business philosophy to systematically squeeze margins for short term goals. Worker salaries are one vulnerable facet there, but between businesses margins a

For simple diagrams, I've used Pencil ( http://pencil.evolus.vn/ ). I don't know if I'd really want to build anything complex in it though. For intricate depictions, Inkscape is infinitely more flexible but is

The amount of work that people need to put into finding a quality pc laptop is one reason Apple laptops do so well. For pc laptops, even if you find a good model once, chances are that the 'model line' branding decisions have quit

I would guess that system would actually be very bad at mass surveillance. The radar system would be tuned to detect very small movements (the heartbeat), and reject clutter in the category of anything not moving and static (debris). So in

In C++ (and C for that matter) you use an enum + union in a struct to implement these virtual structs, then all the criticisms of pointer slicing, and not being able to pass by value go away. You do have to manage all that manually though,

Wind and solar might have large capital costs in-total for similar capacity, but you can deploy it in much smaller increments and time periods than nuclear plants - that goes for both actual deployment as well as R&D investments. I thin

There's no reason you couldn't bring up a infrastructure for technician level training to get those spots filled. I think you could just tap into the bureaucracy for existing job re-training efforts and it would work out fairly we

I think that different languages have their own level of how much edge-case there is in total, as well as how much may be exposed edge there is visible now vs later. It's akin to having icebergs of different volume, but unlike icebergs

Yup, I've had a Citizen eco-drive (solar powered watch) which has been going 10+ years. It's an interesting model - there's some form of drive mechanism for the analog hands that let them move independently of the time. I.e.
