Can you plug this into a computer on your premises to get speech recognition without amazon, apple or google's cloud (or any other cloud) involvement? Right now I decline all speed recognition because I don't want orwellian listen

What if you know you /can/ learn how to do that but make a conscious choice not to take on that ability? Then what if you know you can but rank that ability as being too far down the list in terms of its benefit to you, your famil

hehe shutting it down because it couldn't compete and it was never profitable is an interesting measure of "successful" even for these c-suite types that love re-branding abject failure as success. I guess you're right.

You are in a minority. Why do you think they built their recommendation system with you in mind at all? You've already paid, you no longer impact the fit of the short term revenue maximization objective function.

Google have a ton of other ML features about you that they fit to the model and so you have been profiled to be a bit lecherous.[1] Do you feel good about that? Think how it must feel to be profiled to be a crook or a bad credit risk or s

It must be kind of depressing to be a goog c-suite exec. Even backed with that enormous market power and basically unlimited development and promotional budget no project you undertake ever works out. Why is that? Not regulation? Not being

The question is a little different in my mind. The question is would Serge's record company continue to release albums when placed under pressure. Would French TV continue to allow him to perform there? Would French radio continue to p

I highly recommend the Athom smart home plugs preflashed with tasmota. No flipping cloud. None. Pick them up a fair bit cheaper than $30. And of course can turn them on and off over you local wifi - set timers over your wifi, or via mqtt fo

"targeting" seems like an odd thing to say there. This is an interactive shell command. Does the shell you are using interactively support it seems like a more interesting concern? We don't have to be portable typing commands

It may be sensible in a given context on which I express no view but it is not pedantically correct. The context here is an expression of nationality while claiming pedantry. If one were to refer to Seamsus Heaney's nationality at birt

Well if we're being pedantic, definitely not English - there is no such "nationality". Czech-British? Maybe just "British" being the term used for citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Island?

Or even worse, "it's a sure-fire one way trip to an early grave via hell. Winners don't do drugs. Just say no." It hasn't gone away, people continue to go to jail because of this belief. Beyond that when the idiocy

You're actually serious? Advertising is designed to make you feel shit (inadequate) and does it so effectively people kill themselves with anorexia over it to cite but one example. It's like a prostitute saying their pimp doesn&#x

Oh to HELL with that garbage. I don't get paid for 99.9% of the ads that infest my daily life. I get no say in it at all. There is no off switch. There is no block. There is no avoiding it. The logos are everywhere. The posters. The vi

Geology is the only science you're aware of? Try psychology, sociology, medicine, climatology and the things in this direction. I probably agree with the broad thrust if the politics in those fields and that isn't the point!

It's one thing to say "Oh yes, it's taken very seriously" when you have nothing riding on it. It's another to pledge you will donate $100,000 to the FSF or whatever if data gets out in the next 5 years. The first is

No, you have not understood. I'm not asking your opinion about seriousness. I'm asking how much. So far you've shown a willingness to stake absolutely nothing, which is fair. Is that your response? If not, how much?

Yup. Too big to fail sucks just as hard in banking. Google needs to be broken up as badly as banks do. It's a battle that keeps on coming up and here it is again.

The essence of programming is designing a way to transform data. You ask yourself, "what is the nature input data and how it arrives" "what is the nature of the desired output data." When I started learning programming f

Yes, yes, yes quite so but you're talking about ethics, morality, standards of behavior. Insider trading is _law_ and Pelosi is not in breach of the _law_. Apparently the test is that the market moving info to which you are privy has b

Come on now that's not really fair. It is totally legal for Nancy's husband to invest in companies and then for Nancy to push and kill laws that work in the financial interests of those companies. Even if you could prove Nancy was
