Have you considered the possibility that you are watching children’s movies and thinking that they’re grown-up movies?

Both sound exactly like movies I’ve seen before. Hollywood retreads have infinite lives.

Initially, it looked like Magic Leap was going to be basically glasses connected by fiber optic and data cable to a belt-pack compute unit.

Companies can hire and fire whoever they like or stop liking. What this poor chap has done is to make sure it’s impossible for him to work for another one.

Okay, so as a white dude in America, I had to google the author to find out what the deal was. I am flummoxed. She’s cute. I don’t have a racist thingy, I’m not seeing why she’s having trouble. I had assumed perhaps she was overestimating her features. Nope. she’s got fine features, everything in proper order. I don’t…

That’s just the thing that tweaks me about them. They’re like a chef that believes he’s the best in the world, before he’s ever served a dish to anyone.

Shred it. Any representation of art in which content is not as important as the famous popular name of the guy who did it deserves to be placed on the dustbin of history. Mankind is far too fond of preserving the works of the Popular Pretty People regardless of its comparative merit vs the works of less popular people.

Well, would you accept the same exact criticism from a 42 year old man who could never, ever be accused of hipsterism? Because I think Avatar is Ferngully in Space. Or Dances With Wolves, in Space.

Goddammit, gawker’s low standards got me again. Headline promises I’m not getting salmon when I buy salmon, data referenced in article states that almost all of the time I buy salmon, I get salmon.

I suppose that the author should also explain the function of the lungs, and the fact that lungs are something inside your body and not something you generally carry in a briefcase or satchel.

Why not have dwarf astronauts? They require fewer calories, have less mass, and it’s quite likely that their shortened limbs are less of a liability in low gravity than here on Earth. The hopping movements that are necessary for operations in low gravity on Mars or the moon should be quite easy for them to do without…

A learning/adaptive machine that becomes complex enough to be sentient would be a completely alien mind. It’s unlikely to be selfish, if it has no needs, but is also unlikely to have a will to continue to exist, the revulsion against taking a life in the pursuit of a goal, compassion, etc.

Please name one respected scientist in AI that is unconcerned with the eventuality of a learning machine reaching near human intellect.

The solution to this is to limit the size of synthetic neural networks or have a governance subsystem which is automatic and built into the same integrated circuits as the neural networks, and yet is not hyperintelligent or reprogrammable.

The key is to prioritize and only buy the tools that you need to express yourself. Use the gear you have, notice the times your gear fails to express what you were trying (and make sure it isn’t your skill that failed you) and then figure out which piece of gear would stop that failure from happening. But don’t go…

Please, everyone, be exciting. Take unnecessary risks for fleeting glimpses at internet celebrity. You’ll be helping the world through the RedBull/GoPro Campaign for a Smarter Tomorrow.

It would give people the wrong idea- that if on your right, if you’re moving away from the object you see, you are therefore moving toward the object on your left. But you aren’t. You’re moving away from both the things to your left and the things to your right.

It’s not simply ugly, or cheap (because it’s a copy of someone else’s work), it’s also demonstrating NO talent or tradecraft, no love, no tending to detail, accuracy, or style. It isn’t inaccurate enough to be stylistic and isn’t accurate enough to be realist. It’s horseshit.

If you take a pockmarked sphere and its illumination angle is rotating, there will be persistent areas of shadow unless the illuminator (sun) is not only rotating in x axis but also in y. A hole at the pole will only have illumination at its bottom when the sun is directly overhead from the hole. This never happens at…
