This reminds me of Douglas Adams's AI elevators that just sulk in the basement because of their menial existence. These AI batteries could very well also become depressed and simply refuse to take a charge.
I was not making a judgement about whether the current system in the US is good (it's not).
However, there are *always* going to be limits to how much healthcare you get from a shared pool. If you're 6 feet tall but feel that you ought to be 6'-2", there is no conceivable healthcare system anywhere that is going to pay you to get bone extension surgery. Likewise, no insurance plan is going to pay to get you a Michael Jackson-style nose. However, you could have those things done on your own dime. So what I said is 100% accurate.
"But those aren't medically necessary!". Well, that's a judgement that's always going to be made somewhere. People disagree on what is necessary enough to draw resources from the shared pool, so it becomes a political process. But no matter what, somebody making decisions on coverage is not going away.
All insurance, public or private, rations healthcare. The only way that healthcare won't ever be rationed is if you pay for it yourself, which you're always entitled to do.
At least it's not the typical paranoid schizophrenic guy posting the same manifesto on every story.
It turns out that the hardest part of this project wasn't designing the model or training it. Instead, it was hunting down the peripheral equipment to transcribe it onto paper tape so that it could be loaded onto the FAA's Sperry Rand mainframe running in a basement somewhere in Maryland.
Dating people at work is generally OK as long as one doesn't report to the other directly or indirectly.
HR usually wants to know so that they can rearrange the corporate hierarchy to avoid such unseemly conflicts of interest. It's their business because it's unfair to everyone else under that dating boss if one of their colleagues is exchanging "special favors" with the boss.
Yep. It's incredibly annoying.
Really? So if a dev goes out with a team lead the TL should be fired?.
You've obviously never held a real job.
Every company that I've ever worked for over the decades made this kind of policy 100% clear to new hires, and some of them repeated it at least annually (along with other boring annual training on things like not sending sensitive tech to places like China).
"One $250 million dollar hookerbot, or 250 million one-dollar hookerbots?"
Huang's not an idiot, his security team would be handing out his money, because nVidia's money would be documented. Lord knows Huang can afford it.
The overwhelming majority of his nVidia shares are vested so it doesn't matter. This guy could acquire a $10,000-dollar-a-day cocaine and escort habit and he would still probably end his life richer than he is now.
An upright wreck is a delight, but all wrecks are delights in their own way. In shallow water, upright is relatively rare unless the process is managed. But in any event, the significance here is the depth to first contact. Upright it's readily accessible to n00bs. On its side, only officially accessible to "advanced" divers (who are not necessarily advanced in any way, other than having paid for the tick in the box). All things considered, I think it's best on its side and let the n00bs do their n00bing elsewhere and have this to look forward to.
To cut the costs, all car parts will be from China. There is no escape in the race to destruction of local manufacturing.
Think of it as evolution in action.
I'm just super impressed that he could generate any kind of video at all with his VIC-20.
If this is timesharing, give me my share right now.
