Let's have Duplex call up Comcast to negotiate or cancel my service. Then we can call this AI.

To the extend that the primary application for this is call support, I don't agree with your proposal. This is supposed to close the gap between a tech-savvy group that would be using duplex and tech-handicapped small businesses. It is

Say you have 10 players in a row. You number each player by its position in the row: 1, 2, 3, .., 10. You then write the players' names on 10 pieces of paper, and you randomly place the papers in 10 boxes. You place exactly one paper i

Who is the current CEO of Altaba ?

by utopcell 9y ago
Tim Armstrong is not associated with Altaba in any form, so the fine did not happen under him.

Considering there was a foreign state agent involved in the hack, we should consider the possibility that Yahoo could not disclose the hack even if they wanted to.

I would have gently ended the interview the moment he mentioned using 64-bit lookup tables to count bits 8 bytes at a time.

Impressive. Per the site, this is a phone that adopts a monochromatic interface to increase power efficiency, yet there is no mention of battery life anywhere.

The Volt behaves in a similar way to protect against degradation, by design. I wonder if the 90% tesla s claim holds for their largest capacity cars as well.

I strongly disagree with this comparison. In the prior, successful cases, the military funded research which was open, while in this case, the direction of information is reversed and the outcome is secret.

Most likely it doesn't help against trolls but strengthens their position in cross-licensing negotiations with other companies. When a company's portfolio includes many thousands of patents, due diligence to discover the important

Why call something "auto-pilot" when it is clearly not remotely ready to do what its name implies ?

I feel that such anti-piracy filtering is counter-intuitive because it promotes awareness. I had no idea what 'kodi' was until today.

Even assuming a CPU that would only consume 6 mW when decoding video, and nothing else (DRAM, wireless) draining power, then (at 15fps) the display is only drawing 0.5 mW, or 1/12-th of the CPU power consumption. Even if you were to as

Wider gamut is what might be the differentiator here. With respect to power consumption, the video codec would probably draw more than 100mW [1], and at that point, the 2mW display consumption would not matter. [1] a 640x480@15fps hardware

The Sharp displays on pebbles were always on though.

Agreed on that, but it's hard to justify the "revolutionary" tag if the end-product only increases its battery life by 10 or 20%.

by utopcell 9y ago
I'm not sure I see the "revolutionary" aspect of this. With displays, you don't need to make power consumption arbitrarily small. By Amdahl's law, you only need to make it a small percentage of the cpu (and wireless
