The Wright Brothers didn’t know everything about how an airplane works before they started building them...

I always thought of it as being like auto-tuning, when you artificially make a singer’s voice high and squeaky or deep and booming. This is the equivalent of ramping an elephant’s non-audible rumbles up into the range humans can hear, except with light.

That's true of every orbiting body.

The way we learn about the functions of self-awareness is by building machines that emulate its functions, until the process becomes understandable. We don’t actually need to know how self-awareness fully works in order to replicate it, we only need to understand its individual components and put them together in…

The laws of physics can be simulated on a digital computer. If we accept that humans have self-awareness, then it seems trivial to me to say that you can self-awareness out of conditional branching, as you call it, since said conditional branching can just give you a copy of a human brain.

Fake. Everyone knows Pluto is in space, and in space there are stars, and there are no stars in this picture. Therefore, it’s clearly another hoax perpetrated by the same people who faked the moon landing.

I think this falls under Fair Use because it’s parody.

They talk about Mikasa being one of the last Asians in the anime though... <<SPOILERISH>>It’s specifically why something happened to her in the past.

You mean like this guy?

*sigh* =_=

None. Nature has both the means and the time to outlast any infection/infestation.

I think it’s an issue of the font sucking at making the superscript being smaller?

The areas of the two smaller squares are 32 = 9 and 42 = 16, as we can see, in the spirit of Pythagoras, by counting their subunits. The area of the largest square is 52 = 25. And we verify 9 + 16 = 25.

We get it: it sucks to drive three hours from urban centers to catch a flight.

Personally, I’m good with lots of FUTUUUUUURE stuff. It was a major component of the original Minority Report, and quite honestly, I’m tired of shows that assume all development grinds to halt sometime in the next ten years.

I would say we both out of our depth since we’ve little to no knowledge of Google’s neural network. With that being said I can’t imagine this spam filter being very good if it can’t remember previous spam filtering actions and their accuracy. From just a pragmatic view it would be very difficult to learn anything if…

By your own description, the only difference between the Google automatons and the human brain is the number of automatons in the box.

I’m not sure that “big ag” is going to be opposed to this. I see big ag investing in this as a method by which to increase yields or production of particular products that can be grown in this fashion, or so that field space can be freed up for higher-value commodities.
