This seems smart, there doesn't seem to be too much wrong with opening the door to investors. Once the investors start supporting the Tesla M3 and EV entry luxury cars, they will be also interested in investing in the infrastructure to

How much "drift" do you guys have to deal with when using consumer electronics? I don't imagine the calibration being too difficult or numerous these days. Wi-Fi these days is cheap and of high quality.

It's like the $10,000 dollar hammer, but this is far worse. With the hammer, government apologists claimed it was to "secretly move money for DoD"... which really means it was the DoD and military just giving themselves a shi

It is just naive or dumb to think Google is left alone when they don't give access to the government. Of course they give access, but in the interest of being a vital source of intelligence and data they put on an act.

Obama 1.0 is the sucker spin... Obama 2.0 is the squeeze. First they pretend to be on your side, then they pretend to help, then they extinguish.

Google got hustled. Nest was a disaster from the start. They are barely even a one-off. The best thing Google got out of their 3.2 billion dollar purchase was a patent troll. These silicon valley companies made these horrible buyouts in the

They are seen as throwing away cash, and throwing away 1% of cash holdings is very bad.

Literally the US can dictate what kind arms they can develop. It is required they comply to receive consideration for US military aid and to remain under the US nuclear umbrella (from other nuclear armed countries like China, India, Russia,

Umm... how old is this hack? Over a decade ago, one of my friends used to drive a somewhat nice car that he modded and fixed up on his own. He always threw his keys with the alarm dongle thing, etc... in the freezer and I never asked why. e

This is one of the faultier parts of having to answer to share holders. Apple is finding it more difficult to justify having their own entire supply chain rather than relying on other companies (i.e. Intel, IBM, Samsung, etc...) If they did

That is the only path not available to the dominating robotics countries of Germany, Japan and Korea who are literally under the gun not to develop such arms and weapons (without approval of the US).

by massemphasis 11y ago
That is not surprising since the robotics market is already dominated by other companies from Germany, Japan, and Korea. DARPA made the mistake of opening their competition to Korea, and Korea dominated the competition with an innovative ro

Are you confused, since you are confusing "evolution" with gentrification. San Francisco de-evolved. To undo your over simplification, in terms of evolution San Francisco is over specialized in an evolutionary sense. Can you parse

They're basically talking about social engineering. AFAIK, they used the CIA to funnel in cocaine, etc... to minority neighborhoods, then applied social engineering, adverts, and glorified drug abuse. Then the police and FBI went and k

San Francisco used to be an awesome place, then all those people moved in from some white-only places and it's pretty much gone down hill. It used to be an awesome, diverse place with strong and creative people... now look at it. It&#x

Apple was very happy that Google gave S. Korea a very public smackdown at their own game with the AlphaGo AI software. If only I were kidding.

It is incorrect to consider this form of AI as an "intelligence", and it's definitely not "alien". The hype train is a bit ridiculous, and even DeepMind and Google isn't go as far as to state that "humans

It is not far beyond the human level. Lee Sedol already admitted that he had some psychological strategies that he employs that AlphaGo is completely impervious to. With AlphaGo, it doesn't understand the moves like a human would. It s

by massemphasis 11y ago
It is believed now that Lee Sedol has a really good ability in reading AlphaGo's moves now (see: Micheal Redmond and AGA Game 4 commentary). Game 5 is going to be very interesting. I'm pretty sure the DeepMind team is just as exci

by massemphasis 11y ago
If you look at DeepMind's numbers, AlphaGo is meant to win more than 50% of the time against human players (expert). Right now, my opinion is that its actual capability in wins is less than 50%.

by massemphasis 11y ago
It didn't master anything. What the DeepMind team did was make an "AI" which means it can _imitate_ (to a certain degree) of "playing go".

Or the helpless look of Aja Huang... like "I have no idea how to decipher that neural network, that's part of why you are here".

by massemphasis 11y ago
You're conveniently forgetting that this "AI" is a representation of tens of millions of amateur plays which is far more than a few decades in total time. Not that Lee Sedol needs someone like me to defend him, but remarks li

Well, we don't actually know AlphaGo's true strength in Ko matches because the Ko setup wasn't that complex. There wasn't a lot of trade points available. A possible explanation is: During self reinforcement learning, Al

No, it's not just that. It is also: - Should companies reveal what type of information they have on their consumers. - Should and can companies protect their data on their consumers as their own property.
