Why're everybody commenting about it being a 737? It's one of the most common, stable and widely used aircraft families, no?

It does not say it was a 737MAX, which would be quite improbable as they're still grounded.

Reacting just because it says 737 feels to me kinda like reaction becauase it says PC or Mac.

HGH being Human Growth Hormone? I've taken that during puberty, as a medium to get to "normal size"

In hindsight doctors say that might have been what triggered my chronic auto immune hepatitis (immune system attacks my own liver). They say basically they don't know and will probably never know, but it has been put forth as a possible trigger.

Be careful.

No expert either, but afaik you can divide livers into thirds and they will regrow. So when you transplant a liver you take two thirds from the donor, I assume to give the recipient more liver to work with, but I don't know why. (spelling edit)

Are you saying DOH does not affect client side ad blocking because it can be shut off?

This is where readin satanic texts early on in life really set the tone for me. Summed up they say "There's no point to anything so enjoy life as best you can, while you can". Those texts really focus on you as the supreme master of yourself as opposed to any external entity.

If the task you want to solve is automatic function naming I definitely think normalizing would be an improvement. But I'm not sure it would be the right thing for all applications. Don't have any examples though.

I never heard of stem cell treatment for auto-immune diseases at all. Got two conditions myself, I would not go for such a 'radical' treatment at this point though as I do not feel I suffer enough to try it out.

I will read up on it though.

But for know I'll just ask a question. What are the actual risks of stem cell treatment?

I'd say the technology for building a bot with computer vision is already here or close to it. So building a working one would not take long.

The problem, as they stated in the QnA is that the image processing would take much more hardware and computing power, this increasing both cost and training time, as you would not be able to run games as quickly anymore.

They specifically said they would have to implement a special case for heroes that control more than one unit in the future.

So you're saying that even before they set up a rule about microing illusions to protect humans from a feature that they have not yet implemented nor, I assume, have trained the model on?

I had to look up what 'end-to-end' means in regard to neural nets and machine learning. And the answer seems to differ slightly or very much with every webpage I hit.

Stack exchange says it means 'all classifiers are trained jointly', nvidia and quora seem more in line with what I assume it means in this project. 'No human input to training sets or results as part of learning' is that what this talks about?

Is it then, unsupervised learning?

Really cool project!

They're not forbidden to so business, they're forbidden to so business unless they adapt their product or practices. I'd say that is pretty much the same as this case?

It's quite a long video, I can not claim to have seen it all, but the allegations should come up within the first 36 minutes and after the initial introduction by the third party.

EDIT: The court documents were linked in another comment, I relink it: https://blogs.microsoft.com/uploads/prod/sites/5/2018/04/FIN...

Yes, he claims that was all the money he ever got from his 'accomplice' for selling a lot of things over several years, including screws and the CDs in question. The CDs according to him were only a minor part of that sum.

Doesn't mean it's necessarily true, for obvious reasons. And one can only hope the court looked through all that as thoroughly as possible.

Do you have a link to the court documents? This whole thing seems like a mess regardless of who is right. Although I'm quite sure these recovery discs do not allow you to install windows without a license.

They never did when I used such discs back in the days, and why would DELL be allowed to distribute software making such a thing possible? Of course you could argue that he has manipulated the program on the disc but as far as I know that has not been proven and he is claiming he did not.

He disputes the emails claiming they are made up and tampered with insinuating his partner in selling these CDs has implicated him to get a lesser sentence.

Obviously someone in this whole mess is lying or grossly misinformed, the problem is figuring out who.

He said he had IT-experts testify in court that the emails had been tampered with, I assume one could look into that in some kind of public record over the case?

According to 'the defendant' that value is all of the money he got from Bob Wolff over a couple of Years not only from the discs. The discs returned a lot less. Though of course that might be a lie, I wouldn't know.

According to what he says himself in an interview he was selling the CDs 25 cent a piece after paying for production in China and shipping to the US. I don't think you can get much meaningful profit from that.

> 15 months sounds excessive, but the fact the software could be downloaded by customers for free is not a mitigating factor in a guy attempting to make a profit making it look as much as possible like a paid for product sold by Dell/Microsoft...

I don't know if I would call it 'trying to make profit' when you make CDs in China, ship them to US and sell the CDs for 25 cent a piece.

According to himself he made no money off of this both because no one wanted to buy the CDs and the price didn't really allow for profit.

I did find the experiment a bit more eerie than 'killing for food'. But that aside, some of the ethical problems they discussed in the article were regarding whether the possible revival of ones brain would mean that the person and his juridical status as a person would also follow, as well as his thoughts etc.

As opposed to if we experiment on some dead persons liver, if we experiment on his revived brain we might actually be experimenting on a conscious being (human), is what I believe is the main thing here.

It's not well defined, but we can compare a dead brain to a brain in comatose to a fully awake and perceptive brain.

I assume, given what they say in the article, that the pig brain activity in the experiment was somewhere close to the activity of a dead brain or a brain in a coma.

They also explained that the blood-replacement they used contain a lot of inhibitive substances probably preventing the brains from being active even if they could.

I've had colleagues believe bitbucket is a replacement for git.

I had to explain there's a quite big difference between the two. I assume he had mixed up github with git and correctly deduced bitbucket is an alternative to github.

Also, I got way too excited over the git news to notice that it was github publishing ...

And the inevitable rise in wireless card skimming that would ensue?

OK maybe not inevitable but it's made a lot easier with wireless cards etc. And I do expect 'thugs' to catch on.

Plus, you can only do that on lower sums. If I pay a higher sum than allowed for wireless pay where I live (Sweden) I'd still need chip and pin, and often in restaurants I am told to enter the total sum plus whatever tip I want to give, then confirm, then enter pin.

So I'd say cash can be quicker in some cases, slower in other, but my main concern is in the area of privacy and security both of my cash, and my ability to pay in force majura-cases.

Yes, as long as you add a huge penalty to the training algorithm for triggering any underlying safety system I see no problem in that. (Otherwise I can see a completely mad car that believes everything is safe as it never crashes even when reckless )

But wouldn't aging be exactly that damage accumulation?

Are we then not saying 'not aging is impossible, here are some examples of things not aging' ?

I thought the underlying schema was pretty obvious. However I made lots of mistakes due to trying it out from my phone, and it didn't cooperate as well as one would've liked.

But I think the design was good. I also noticed the option to look at the schema, if needed.

I finally fully switched over to Linux from Windows due to specific games beginning to work in Linux (was some years ago now). And I know several others who say they prefer Linux but don't want to switch because they play games that might not work on Linux.

Why would it be improbable that someone switch from Mac to Linux due to game support? Where Mac already has far worse support than windows and in some respects is more like Linux. Shouldn't the leap be lower from Mac? OK I give you that I am not taking into account the Mac user mindset.

There is degree to the wrongness yes. But yes I am not saying the original hypothesis was not progress at the time (unlike Freud's non contributions) the left right hypothesis did contribute at the time as it actually looked at the brain and tried to map some things.

What I'm against is referencing this idea in a context (the article) where it makes no sense, and rather lies to the reader by telling a great story based on old facts that have since been disproven.

Left right brain is wrong, not really in the same way Newtonian physics is wrong today, at least not in the form it was cited about logic being in one hemisphere. I would compare it to say, Greek anatomy. They had the idea of that things in you could be wrong. But they didn't really know what was wrong in different diseases, they came up with lots of ideas of different bodily fluids having too much or too little of one , connected to certain organs.

Now we know most of their explanations were bullshit where we can explain things a lot better. Regarding Newtonian physics my impression is that they still explain the same phenomena they explained from the beginning, but we have refined things, and realized it can not explain all things one might have thought it could explain.

The left right hypothesis is wrong. The brain specialization is much more fine grained and much more adaptible to circumstances than described.

Yes there are some specialized loci that happen to (most often) be in the left or right hemisphere, but the original hypothesis that logic is in the left hemisphere for example is utterly wrong.

An example would be language, researchers started finding language loci in the brain (by showing that if a specific area was damaged, language was damaged) and so on. Based on such evidence the left right hypothesis was formed. What was not taken into account (in my somewhat accurate example) was that there are several other areas one could injure to get language-affecting brain damage.

The thing is, such broad things as language, or logic, or art, are not located anywhere in particular in the brain, it is the interaction or many different areas and not necessarily the same areas in every person. There are however several areas that are specialized but on a much lower level than "language" search for Wernicke's area for example.

Also note that Wernicke's area is statistically in different hemisphere more probably depending on which is your predominant hand.

So no, just no.

Spot on. The article focuses a lot on 'artistic genius'. Actually it jumps a lot between a great deal of things. There's a leap between the photographer who invented new technology, to Jason Padgett who began seeing the world in a weird way, to dementia-patients who begin drawing as parts of their brains decay.

There's not much mentioned of geniuses in the meaning of people who further scientific theories like Einstein or whatever example one might give. They only hint that such people might often have autism, and try to explain that with left/right brain development.

Which if I recall correctly has been highly disputed since the 1960 Nobel Prize. If nothing else the explanation of autism and savant autism in the article are gross oversimplifications.

How do you mean knowing Debian/Arch would hamper your effectiveness with SELinux? Can't you just apply the SELinux hardened kernel in Arch/Debian or whatever else?
