And I think you are giving then way less power than they have in reality. Facebook already can detect faces better than we do.

Also, why are you assuming the computer system would react differently? Can't it learn (or be trained) to detect the bouncing bag to know there isn't a risk in this case?

I also think they could learn to do that better than humans too. We can get distracted, and only notice the bag on the last second, when it is laying still and formed just like it was over a rock. A computer system will be totally dedicated to paying attention to everything on the road, and wouldn't miss a single bounce of the bag, when it could reduce the risk factor of the bag enormously and then ignore it.

Yes, it outperforms computers all the time, but less with each passing moment.

Do you believe in statistics? If autonomous cars injure and kill less people than human controlled cars, then what's the point of this kind of discussion?

Yeah, my cousin told me that his friend had an aunt who dated a guy who told them that. So I wrote it in Wikipedia.

...sorry, I checked and saw that it has correct references (here by the way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H...), but when I hear something like "wikipedia states", I can't help but think of something like that.

That reminds me of this comic: http://sinfest.net/archive_pag...

Lots of people don't want to play. They want to win.

Exactly. Just like electricity.

What other people think.

Damn, man, your comment surely should have a higher than five rating.

You should definitely make a blog post about this!

Facebook is, among many other things, the top photo sharing service on the web. And face recognition plays a very important role in this aspect. They must invest a lot in this kind of technologies, so it's no surprise skynet will be born from them.

This news was showing in a lot of sites lately, couldn't wait to see what discussions it would spark here! Let me grab my popcorn!

You can also have this type of 'native' using HTML5 and Nodejs. By using this component called node-webkit.

I just learned about this from Popcorn-time, they package a "native" app using this technique, and the application is all HTML+CSS+Javascript.

Unfortunately, it's not so simple. Although the iPhone 5S is sold here, for example, the only certified Model is the A1457, as you can see in the this page, if you understand Portuguese.

It's a page from Anatel, the government agency responsible for cellphone communications in Brazil (something like FCC in the USA, I guess) which shows certified wireless communication devices for use in Brazil.

Wikipedia tells me there are at least 7 models of the iPhone 5S out there, so only one of these will work in Brazil, eventually. Unless Apple certifies all models with Anatel, which I doubt will happen.

Also, If you bring your shiny new cellphone shortly after launch, it probably won't work either, because the iPhone is released here with a few months delay, usually.

So, basically, fuck this shit.

Well, there's also the price of the server.

Also, if you don't have fixed IP, that's another cost.

Also, there's the cost of setting it up and maintenance. Or is your time worth zero dollars/hour?

Damn. How come no one has invented this "arc reactor" yet?

So, how long until Iron Man, now?
