Maybe so, but they are selling it with claims that more powerful linux board may be used to additional things like robotic vision while running autpilot at the same time/
Wrong wrong wrong. Distinction between hard and soft realtime is not the minimum latency, it's about guaranteeing the latency. Linux provides no such guarantee and is inappropriate for the job.
Well - no, they did not. A single neuron is complicated and poorly understood at present. The network of 300 of those is not understood at all. The lego robot that you referenced is a primitive lookalike thta does not fully reproduce the behaviour of real worm.
Damn, confused them with techdirt
"Techcrunch" and particularly their head honcho Masnick are unapologetic corporate shills.
Except that it isn't an "error" in the way most people understand it. The neural net works correctly and as designed.
What is in error is the designers' and users' expectation that NN classifies things in the way that is "reasonable"
to a human. Which means, in turn, that the status of the whole discipline must be considered questionable.
It's also 3d-printed
What the AC said. Mathematica language itself is rather buggy and outdated, and I shudder to think about stuff like "natural language processing" built on top of it.
Now they presented us with a spirited defense of high-tech cannibalism. That is no surprise to anyone at the least familiar with those people. The whole profession of economics is morally and intellectually suspect, and the Chicago school - particularly so.
Used to be that in order to keep the peace, your village had to pay tribute to the local evil empire, and whatever they asked for they received.
Whereas nowadays, your village has to pay tribute to the IMF, and those who refuse, are branded "undemocratic" and bombed with cruise missiles. Yes, humanity progressed a long way.
Today to keep the peace, the US issues foreign aid.
Keep it. I mean, seriously. The world is much better off with out your "aid"
It only counts if they used "Raspberry Pi" to control the firing.

> Exact same argument could be applied to 'climate' models...
Sorry, no. We understand very well the hydrodynamic, chemical and thermodynamic laws that govern the climate. Not so for neural process of even very simple worms.
It certainly can, and very easy too - simply withdraw legal, regulatory and insurance coverage from "dark pools". Those who would sill want to gamble there - let them handle the risk without any freedom -endangering state interference.
No, the US government did not approve of Iraqi chemical weapon use. You wildly exaggerate, to be polite.
And you are lying, to be precise. Here're some choice quotes from the article in the "Foreign Policy" that I linked to
U.S. intelligence officials conveyed the location of the Iranian troops to Iraq, fully aware that Hussein's military would attack with chemical weapons, including sarin, a lethal nerve agent.
and also
U.S. officials have long denied acquiescing to Iraqi chemical attacks, insisting that Hussein's government never announced he was going to use the weapons. But retired Air Force Col. Rick Francona, who was a military attaché in Baghdad during the 1988 strikes, paints a different picture.
"The Iraqis never told us that they intended to use nerve gas. They didn't have to. We already knew," he told Foreign Policy.
Looks like tacit approval to me.
The Reagan administration decided that it was better to let the attacks continue if they might turn the tide of the war. And even if they were discovered, the CIA wagered that international outrage and condemnation would be muted.
