Comment Re:Sad (Score 1) 24

Yes its a sad time, when someone with talent dies like that. But on the other hand, He was driving a 2026 Ferrari 296 GTS on those winding mountain roads, I have driven then and it's fun to drive on those curves. But my guess is its a new car for him, going fast and being stupid. Sorry to see this happen.

Comment Re:No Tron in Tron (Score 1) 51

I saw the movies and I liked it. I thought this was one of the better Jared Leto characters he has played. On that note. He basically produced the movie an without him, it probably would not have been greenlit. Also since he produced it and got it all together, he didn't want the movie to be about the previous characters, he wanted to be the main character. The sequel hints on finding them. Sure there were some plot holes, but overall not bad. There was a great homage to 80's and 80'video games and computers and to the first Tron movie. The reason they can get out of the Troniverse (Trontrix) "The first Matrix", is because of the last movie, even though they don't quite explain that. There were good effects and there was some philosophy on what it means to be human. The music was no Daft punk and will be forgettable. I hope they do make a sequel to this, we need more movies about computers before the AI's start making them for us.

You all don't understand. This will require all apps, By Law, to verify your age. Not in a popup click on this way, but in a send me your real ID so I can verify you. Google is developing and API to help with this, Apple is making changes. But any app now that you want to use, will collect your info, they can say they wont store it, but they will have it. If your under 18, it will also now require your parents to send in info and approve and get approval from the app. Before using it, so yea sales are going to drop because no one is going to want to do that and wait for approval, or take a picture of your license and send it to the app, not app store. This is not going away and Google and Apple have been sending many notices to update your apps for this, or be removed from the store. G and A are trying to help streamline this, but its not required to use their API, which is still in development. All existing apps will have to be updated.

I keep saying this is the last president, in any country that can afford them, that won't have its own robot army. Good or bad, that is how it will be going. There should be a new Robot Command force for Autonomous Robot units, that follow conventional military command, not one order from the top to all at the bottom, which all dictators want. Right now China is leading the production of humanoids robots.

Comment Volleyball does this, but it's not AI (Score 1) 53

Volleyball in the Olympics did this, it's a set of cameras that shows where the ball was in and out on the line, worked quite well. The ref reviews it if the coach calls for it. This is all indoors, so outside might have other issues. It's an automated system, i wouldn't call any of this AI really, more image processing in real-time.

Comment Re:historic? (Score 1) 132

I think it's historic in the sense that It's the most non trained people to fly to "space", and the most celebrities. And not in a bad way, in a way that will promote more acceptance of normal people doing this, and not having to be a test pilot. I mean you wouldn't hear men scream like that when things happened, like the parachute gets deployed. So I do congratulate them for it being an all female crew.
