Comment Re:Bullshit (Score 1) 177

We learn how to drive in driving school and not how to crash. In a situation like the above. Most people will hit the next thing in front of them, regardless of what or who it is.

I remember stats showing drivers going into a tree at high speed are more likely to aim (unconsciously) for the passenger side - drivers have higher chance of survival than front passengers.

>> same moral reasoning a human would in the situation

This is some hilarious shit right there. There are no higher mental functions involved in a crash, its all on instinct, pre-learned behaviour and reflex.

We have got to the point where no camera footage with UFO's in will be believed because footage is so easy to fake now.

Meteor in the middle of nowhere in Russia? sure, we got clip of that.
Plane crashing into a river in Taiwan? got one recorded from 30 meters away.
We are living in a world with more than one video camera (cellphone) per person now, and there is a lot less 'ufo sighting' movies than ever.

I used to love X-Files until a friend spoiled it for me. He basically said that Mulder and Scully were basically witnesses to whatever mystery they were uncovering. Nothing would have changed if they weren't there. Sure, the random person would have lived or died, but it's not like they solved any big mysteries.

Wait, if it wasnt for FBI arc would never had ended up in the warehouse. Diana and Fox collected and delivered the arc to the proper authorities for filing, like HEROES!

Comment X3 is Rockchip/Spreadtrum/RDA, NOT intel (Score 2) 112

Intel was forced to "invest and partner' in China, or face same sanctions Qualcomm did. They decided to throw China a bone in form of $1B and license for lowest performance Atom CPU cores.

X3 will be made 100% by chinese 'partners', if at all - previously Intel dropped ATOMs $40 sticker price down to $4 Allwinter 4core level and there still were almost no takers.

Comment Re:Who processes the commands? (Score 1) 248

Figuratively I agree with you, but not literally. We could put computers and software into a house to handle voice recognition. Most of us here probably have enough processing power already

again, this was NEVER about processing power, Siri used to run locally and on 1GHz one core ARM phones (before it was bought out by Apple, renamed to siri and moved server side).

Voice recognition algorithms are small and simple (for example walking over HMMs). Its learning that is processing intensive and takes whole clusters and tons of example data.

If we somehow had enough processing power and software _in_ the house I'd consider it..

We do. It was NEVER about processing power, it was always about control and gathering more data.
In part this data is later used to retune DNNs, but also to extract usage patterns, habits, scenarios, context.
