@NaraVara:

That is adorable.

"Better" depends on how you prioritize your values.

@fughedaboudit: I'm looking for a non-apple pad to do just that but I'm not terribly motivated. I kind of think the pad is a bit redundant, I already have a small laptop. What I really want is the e-ink and the battery life. With color e-ink on the horizon it will only be a small matter of time hopefully. In the…

give us better equation support for pdfs!

When e readers started getting popular I ridiculed them as subscription type devices that were locked down and limited in what you can do with them by their manufacturers, which I believe to be a great crime against device ownership.

Oh this is a great comparison because I have often lamented in my day to day life how cumbersome carrying my axe blades around tends to be, due to their thickness.

@SkippyTheMarine: I was expecting to get trolled, though in the way you suggest initially (nerd), not the way you are ACTUALLY making fun of me...

that trap was fabulously twisted. The dialog made me feel more like that short kid on the end...

this dude is a rickrolling jedi...

@CVDon: Oh no way. When you click on the link it just freaking tells you it's for 3D stuff. Well at least I have a hypothesis on why they're using the split mirror. Also, that fujifilm camera they show the front of has an autostereoscopic screen on the back, so i'm still voting for that little screen being…

I wish i could see if the cameras were sharing the same optical path or were displaced with respect to each other. Since I can not I will guess:

Ok. So how about we take abstractions of AI-complete sub-problems for some useful tasks and work them into these stupid games so we get something out of all of those man-hours?

Man, he'll control your relationship with your own hardware, charge you for what you used to get for free, and they'll worship him for it...

While I don't condone the father's actions I would be a liar if I claimed I didn't understand.

@Derek Lambert: aww dude, you denatured my protein :(

This is sort of like manually laying out traces for a printed circuit board.

As someone who is an active AI researcher and have several times had to professionally refute (in government commissioned technical report format) the insane misconceptions of what AI is and what AI can do, I really appreciate your article. People like Kurzweil and their techno-religion cult members truly have no…

@Architectin: I suspect we are indeed in agreement.

@R3I00: No. I will try to explain... You can only be pulled apart if forces act unequally on different parts of your body. Imagine you are a single particle at the center of the earth. The gravitational force will be equal in all directions so it all cancels out, the force on particle-you is zero. Now imagine that…
