Second best? Are you considering PrEP? Because that has the significant downside of being very expensive, as well as a few side effects, some of which can be significant. Abstaining has the significant downside of not having sex.

Library selection, currently running infrastructure, modifying existing applications, etc, etc. It doesn't have to work 100% of the time if the 99% of the time it does work it's capable of catching serious errors earlier.

These don't break fundamental time translation symmetry, anymore than regular crystals break fundamental space translation symmetry (which is equivalent to conservation of momentum). The fundamental versions of these symmetries are

He's talking about time- translation symmetry, not time- reversal symmetry, which is the T in CPT.

1. There would be a backlash for outlawing it where it was already legal, and hence had an industry depending on it. In fact, there was an option to even legalize it in places so long as they did it within a year. 2. Enforcing it at the fe

"Works just like an antivax website" is not a glowing endorsement of either youtube or the rules under which it is working.

My current conclusion is 2 and bit of 1 via overly deferent stare decisis. In fact, there was a short span of time immediately post civil war where civil rights were effectively enforced in the South. Reconstruction ended too soon.

I'm not patching up the definition -- I'm refusing to give a definition. As a consolation prize, I'm giving examples and discussing the degree to which they fit the central concept. My stance is that "AI or not" is

There is no sharp line, just as there is no sharp line for "intelligence". Lot of software can indeed be classified as (very weak) AI, because it makes decisions in service of a goal. Because there is no sharp line, where to draw

That doesn't make it not an AI -- it makes it a very simple, explicable AI. Unless you follow the definition that AI is whatever we don't know how to program yet.

Quite true -- but LIDAR has a very high refresh rate, and it's not hard to do better than naive grid mapping. This was a full height pedestrian plus bicycle, which would have multiple nice returns from a Velodyne HDL 64 at these dista

You don't have to "construct an image" to use LIDAR returns. Minimal processing on the point cloud will tell you that there's an obstacle, and you don't need more than that to start trying to avoid hitting it. A s

Ah, then I should complain to you that "AI" is a broad suite of techniques and goals, rather than a specific black-box technique which has these flaws.

Having malloc.h as an include is bizarre, anyway. The standard location for malloc and related functions is stdlib.h, and removing that include should let it still compile on any reasonable platform.

Of course they can. DRL is a very very specific set of techniques to train decision-making over multiple timesteps.

You are reiterating my complaint about Martinez-Fuerte while stating that I didn't read it. Even stops that don't lead to searches are seizures that implicate the fourth amendment rights. Martinez-Fuerte acknowledges this, but t
