Ya that's kind of an interesting question. With Moore's law starting to approach it's physical limitations it would seem AGI wouldn't be feasible with current algorithms. Not to mentions as your describing.. those "

Serverless is my most hated buzz word, even if I like what it actually means. I mean come on, there are always servers.

It's hard to believe that such a stretchable device is feasible. Just can't imagine how that might work.

Ya that's what I was basing my comment on mostly. I do understand your parents reasoning though, although it is comming from a more logical perspective than I was. I was commenting from the perspective of an analogy from personal exper

I think things like computer vision would be more accurately labeled as "drawing conclusions" rather than "making predictions". And if you can get your prediction success rate close to 100% that seems more like drawing a

I know several people who are consuming mind boggling amounts like this. But I think at this point using the actual plant material is impractical as what they are doing is vaporizing extracted oil, aka "dabs". I don't smoke a

Right, and your personal experience would probably be the same as other _pre-existing_ smokers trying to quit, and it would be providing harm reduction if it worked for you. But doea the harm reduction to pre-existing smokers outweigh the i

Nails and such sold individually at hardware stores. Things sold by weight as well.

I'm native and I think it sounds pretty damn close. I could see myself getting through a simple conversation with it without getting suspicious (that's assuming that I had absolutely no reason to believe it was a system from the s

We're already carrying microphones around in our pockets. Do the speaker microphones really make the situation worse? When it is almost guaranteed that there is already multiple microphones present.

This is an outdated and flawed mentality in my opinion. JavaScript has great potential to enchance UX if used selectively with care. There are plenty of ways to ruin a website, JavaScript is but one. You could also use a defibrillator to be

I don't think it's exactly right to call it a superset either.. It adds types and constraints that have no effect on the resulting transpiled code besides an insurance that said type constraints are being met. To better illustrate

I'll admit making desktop applications in electron seems just as crazy to me as it does many others, but.. after using Vscode I've questioned that there must be something to it. Vscode has pretty great performance and is a serious

I'd imagine Google assistant and duplex are two completely separate systems that share some common machine learning components so talking to your Google assistant doesn't mean anything useful necessarily.

You can check the bands on https://willmyphonework.net . looks like sprint is a no go. :-(. Getting one of these phones in the US comes with other risks as well since your importing g from China. No warranty for one. Little you c

I use one. I was blown away by the value of the 220$ Xiaomi MI A1. It's nice to know that I can move between some options for manufacturers to get the best value for my budget, and also expect a consistent experience.

I think it started out as a program for low end devices but kinda morphed into what you described, as evidenced by Nokia's higher end Android one devices.

To be fair, you can kinda talk to Google assistant in a "question response" type capacity and it does pretty well.

Medicine seems to be mostly concerned with more tangible problems. Good luck going to your doctor and complaining of poor cognition as your only symptom. I've done this before and SSRIs were the only thing offered. I didn't take S

This is also the killer feature of a smartphone for me as well. As someone who exclusively uses public transport, I feel my life would be so much harder without the route planning feature of Google maps. Just activate Google assistant, &quo

My first thought as well. Also what about poeple who already had there settings as tight as they can get? This was the case for me. 47% seems huge though, even if the sample was biased from a technically savy population.

This sounds a bit speculative to me. I'd expect that if it were true you'd see some discontinuity in production rate from the last time they halted production. Doesn't seem to be the case. https://www.bloomberg.com

When I first saw the title I thought this was about extracting data from an air gapped network through some crazy thermometer enabled means. Truth seems to be much more mundane. Curious.. are there any recorded instances of air gapped netwo

I've wondered this myself, anyone know if ReactOS can run anything wine can't? I tried wine-develolment a few days ago and 3D performance is still rather spotty (amongst all the other usuall hiccups). That being said is has helped

Elon musk has talked a bit about this company. The goal is to develop a device which will help increase our low output "bandwidth", not make us smarter. Has the feasibility of such a thing even been explored before? I wouldn'

I think the fact that the Reddit management got to witness the rapid death of Digg and rapid influx of users resulting from it let them learn a valuable lesson at Diggs expense (at just how fast your users can destory you if you piss them o

Question for anyone who knows the answer. Is there any legal way to force a majority controlling shareholder to do anything? I've read about Larry Page and Sergey Brin regularly ignoring shareholder requests to relinquish some of there
