On the other hand, a computer can be trained to pick up clues in the image that most people wouldn't notice.
In which case it should have correctly estimated Obama's age in the second picture.
Or is this a "true scotsman" issue in that "a well trained system would have correctly estimated obamas age in the second pic" ??
You seem to assume that computers can't be better than humans?
Let me simplify my comment for you: A computer cannot control for factors that are not encoded in an image. But those factors can effect apparent age.
If people can't tell your age when looking at you, how can you get a computer to do it accurately?
A persons apparent age is going to depend on a whole bunch of things including environmental things. EG take a farmer who spends all of his time outdoors and someone who partakes in a regime of moisturizers, skin peeling and other assorted beauty activities and lives in their mom's basement. Even if they are the same biological age, they won't look the same apparent age.
How exactly is the seat unsold in this case? It was sold, it is simply unoccupied.
I agree. If anything the airline made *more* money as it didn't have to expend the fuel to get the passenger from Chicago to LA.
How does this work with checked luggage?
It only works with carry on, unless you want you checked luggage to end in LA. But given that people are trying to pass off huge cases as carry ons, it doesn't seem much of an impediment.
There's no way that it would power a home in the US. I can hear the constant squealing of the overload notification already.
Who says you are limited to buying just one?
Something I learned 20 years ago, is that you never, never have a non-tech directly manage techs.
You can say the same thing about recruiters.
I saw it on Ars before I saw it here. It is also on the front page of CNN
He also did things like stay out at night and dance tango. He's the cool pope that is needed by the catholic church!
While I would have no reason to consider the pope's opinion on a scientific matter to be particularly interesting; doesn't climate change count as a glaringly obvious moral issue under all but the very, very, most optimistic models of its expected effects?
Only if it exists(*)
* Note that I am not advocating either side - I am just pointing out the likely basis for the argument against the pope getting involved.
Unless the story is about politics, then the comments (including the +5s) are in the groupthink sewer here the same as they'd be anywhere else.
Not sure I totally agree with that.
From my experience even the groupthink comments still have to back up their arguments with some justification rather than just a "Because I said so" argument. (and anyone who tries to present a "Because I said so" argument is going to be called out pretty quickly.) Thus even if I am not in the groupthink, I am still learning the basis for the groupthink.
Dear Dice, please let us know when you have something that wasn't reported in the major news outlets a day ago.
If you are coming here for cutting edge news, then you are in the wrong place.
The only reason I come back here is for the discussions about the stories. While I typically seen the major news pieces in other locations (and with more in-depth reporting than will ever be on
Many times I let the comments brew for a few hours and then read the ones that have risen to the top of the moderation system. That can give me a lot more insight into the background of a story than anywhere else.
* Yes I look at Soylent News every so often, but there is a tenth of the commenting there than there is here.
You already could. An Israeli defense firm designed a system that could fire Glocks and Uzis around a corner by the use of a folding "stock" and a camera/screen combination. It could also be fired regularly like a rifle.
Pfft
Hmm.. the original article only seems to claim that the underground water is suitable for life, not that it was found.
Given the m vs m confusion, I don't find that all that surprising
