I’m pretty sure if Arizona’s lawmakers understood the underlying nature of machine learning and autonomous driving, they wouldn’t allow self driving cars to operate.

I don’t care how good your models and data are, until you’re able to write an algorithm that can fully handle and learn from a situation it was completely unprepared for, it will always encounter edge cases like this.

This is what happens when we have a society of people saying AI is already here, people like Elon Musk saying AI is a “significant threat” despite "AI" being essentially a black box statistical model in it's current form. From what I’ve seen, the general public thinks we’re 20+ years of AI than we really are.

You need general AI before AI can drive a car, full stop. Otherwise, you need to isolate roads from other human drivers pedestrians, and cyclists. It just won’t be reasonably safe until then.

Once again, pure retardation. The blockchain is completely useless if not backed by miners and value creation, otherwise it’s just a regular distributed server.

I’m glad you’re exposing yourself in this way to me, gives me that much more confidence in you being wrong entirely and me being right. Which I already knew, but I appreciate the extra confirmation.

EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHA just saw your other comment saying Ripple literally has more intrinsic value than Bitcoin. My GOD. MY GOD. PLEASE KILL YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY. You are absolutely done, brain is roasted my friend. Your view of the world is about as accurate as that of my 3 week pup.

Lol at that subtle jab. With your IQ/RQ I would really be surprised if you have a net worth of over $3.50.

So in the dystopian future of Chinese bank account/citizen social points and even present-day American Fed/Bank collusion, you are continuously supportive of centralization? And now you claim the experiment has been "worth playing out" while Bitcoin has experienced the most adoption it's ever had within the last few months? What?????? Please tell me you are joking.

Also, what incentive do governments have to keep people paying their taxes and using their own fiat that corporations seem to be able to control and play with hundreds of billions on their own accord and on separate rules. What about privacy, with the government having easy access to every financial institution I encounter and every transaction I make, why should I agree to that?

Opinions are irrelevant. People will store the value they generate by working in any medium that offers them the most security and long-term increase of value over time. If a cryptocurrency is more secure, convenient, and less deflationary than someone's local fiat counterpart, why would they not store most of their value in it? If we go through 20 years of seeing Bitcoin outperform the inflation of a dollar, no hijackings of the blockchain, no breaking of SHA or ECDSA, why would I not store a majority of my value in it?

The odds we encounter aliens are remarkably low, but what are the odds we encounter aliens with a similar evolution pattern, that is, reproductive-driven intelligence and similar somatic senses?

We could stumble upon some weird aseuxal amoeba type beings who don't even have a personal ego or concept of private property, they just float around on organic ships and communicate through flows of slimy alien-goo. Whew, what a bummer would that be.

So you can not start running any code session on the SGX at ALL without this Remote Attestation call to Intel? That seems silly, considering the SGX has two 128 bit keys on board (one known to Intel, and one known only to the SGX).

Ah I see. I'm seeing that you have 2 128-bit private keys on the enclave, one known to Intel and what that is not.

Can you not use the one not known to intel to do your own code signing against another client with ECDH? Why does it seem like they are pushing this "Intel Attestation" service? Wouldn't that cause Intel servers to be a single POF incase they aren't around to give a proper reply for the attestation request? (Imagine 100,000 nodes on the network all running smart contracts, or perhaps 10 years down the line they discontinue the service.)

Anyone have any links to read more about SGX? What's stopping someone from intercepting everything going down their and just doing the operations on their own while watching?

I can’t believe people really care that much about seeing ads for pet food after Googling for the vet that they would let something like this run constantly in the background. Absolutely unfathomable to me.

Isn’t this just Proof of Stake?

Absolutely, this new generation of kids don't want to pay for anything on the App Store. Maybe the generation of ~5 or so years ago that had a stockpile of iTunes Gift Cards from Christmas did so, but the attitude towards paid applications seems very different now, at least from what I've seen with my younger cousins.

3. When buying things from Amazon, if I don't meet the $25/$35 limit or whatever, I will sometimes, stupidly, search for something else I need from the store and will pay up to $5 more for it through Amazon. Things like folder separators, a pack of staples, etc.. You can get these things for $1 or $2 at Walmart, but on Amazon, maybe $4, $5.

Apple will pull this from the App Store in 5...4...3...

Seriously... Pixel Buds? Is that catchier than Babelfish?

Funniest post I’ve ever read on HN. Bursted out laughing.

Finally a realistic view of where “artificial intelligence” currently stands. I wish I knew where guys like Elon Musk are seeing this other artificial intelligence I’m just not seeing. The current AI we have is just fancy linear regression.

My mother didn’t let me watch anything but Thomas and Friends. She said after watching Rugrats or Spongebob i would turn into a disobedient brat, but after watching Thomas I was apparently well mannered and well behaved.

I ended up becoming a soft well mannered programmer. Fuck you Thomas!

Quick fix for Safari: var AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;

Wow those are some nice prices, thanks for the links!

Can someone please just hook up something like this to a portable monitor and keyboard, put it in a nice sleek chassis, and add a massive battery? Something running at a low clock speed with a modern build good enough to run emacs, ssh, but with the added benefit of being light and having 20+ hours battery.

Become a Buddhist. Not kidding.

Is this "fake news" guy the next Harambe?

yaaaaaaaay populism!

Hm... I'm curious, would you consider the Holocaust to have been "fake news" ?

Even though you provided some "reputable" sources, it's hard to take anyone that uses the word "leftist" seriously. Especially when:

I'm curious, what is it in the human psyche that causes us to have such a desire to stay plugged in to social media? Especially when the content we go through usually only ends up white noise to us.

Certainly, this isn't another Kickstarter scam which will fail to deliver on a massive promise?
