The slashdot linear comment thread is an awful 90s way to find the best recommendation, AND this is a news site - this would be much better posted to stackexchange.

Does it matter whether it actually has an internal strategic model, if the output based on statistical wordbuilding leads to what a human would characterize as strategy? Just because it thinks in a fundamentally different way from a human, trained on gobs of data on how humans think including human strategy, doesnt mean you cant characterize it as strategy or intelligence, no matter what mechanisms it used. The Turing test is interesting in itself. The idea that in the end, if it fools a human then it can be considered to think. The important insight being that it is true regardless of what the internal process was, be it binary, statistical, quantum or otherwise.

It is only worthwhile it makes someone money. Or it doesnâ(TM)t make me a better toaster then it is not important. For example sports - clear example of utilitarian spending.

I love that this was reported tomorrow. theres a mindbender for ye

Agreed, their core competency nor differentiator has not yet been disclosed to the public. That would be foolish at this stage! The article is really a âoewatch this spaceâ

The California laws effectively void the noncompete clauses that employers often make their employees sign. Specifically because those clauses were significantly reducing competition of big CS companies.

Honest question for you /.ers that probably know the answer. Why did the Linux Foundation step up to solve this Wordpress problem.

How many people have learned to ignore their TPMS light on their dashboard, because the Bluetooth tire pressure sensors constantly run out of batteries? I personally repair this with the CarTalk method, by putting some duct tape over the TPMS light.

Adios bath water and baby

35um is really not that impressive when we are in the 2-4 nanometer age. This mostly tells me Loughborough has a really good media and publicity department! Using our MLA150, I found that it was surprisingly MUCH easier to create a 40 micron Mona Lisa than it was to create a 20cm one! I discarded mine rather than getting an article out of it, apparently a missed opportunity.

Especially for the waitresses

Isnt 3x4 an old photo ratio from the 80s? World famous Photo site finally supports format from the 80s that all phones have always used - Why is this remotely interesting? Because instagram is kinda dumb and has been for ages?

Maybe itâ(TM)s better now, but after my browser was set to use DuckDuckGo for about 2 years, when I tried Google I was finding the answers Much faster than DDGo. That was about 1 year ago I switched back to Google. I assume Bing is similar to Google, and harvests your data at least as badly.
