Not American, but: I checked the numbers 4 years ago, and if the votes for Green had gone to the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, with all her faults, would have been president, not Trump. I were Trump, I'd fund the Greens.

As soon as it runs in the browser.

Boys, start investing in octocore CPU and RAM manufacturers.

You don't seem to get that for a neural network there is no difference between memory and processing.

> sorting bank records is actually something trained NNs would kick ass at.

I really would like a demonstration of that. Input: a few million bank records. Output: the same bank records, ordered according to some criterion like SSN, bank account or credit.

But you're a troll, aren't you?

There's a 0 missing, but you get my drift.

I don't know how you think about our brains, but implementing an x86 in them is not a great idea. That's much better done in silicon, where the components are reliable, small and fast. The fastest signal in our CNS travels at about 20m/s.

You do realize that our brains are really, really imperfect: forgetful and illogical?

Please explain how a neural network would sort bank records. Or how to implement Excel using a neural network. Or ...

You should tell that to The Donald's followers on the various forums. They ban everyone who dares make even the slightest critical remark.

This isn't even censorship: the game did not express any idea or thought.

Neural networks don't work for generic tasks. Try to sort a bank's records with a neural network, or try to use them to display a UI description.

When that happens, they can kiss my ass goodbye too. So where do you complain against this? Is there a forum that Mozilla reads at all?

It seems all Firefox users are in this thread, and we agree. I still find FF usable (on a mac), but every time they manage to fuck up something that worked well for someone. I was on "Nightly" for some time, and then they stopped supporting the plugins. Which is the only fucking reason I still use Firefox, dammit! They seem intent on following some blueprint from 1998 without listening to their users, a sure way of killing a product.

I started reading the book, which was pretty hyped a few years ago, and it sucked. It's totally unbelievable, from setting to characters. Why it got so much praise is beyond me. Probably because it was a book that literary critics could understand.

I've got a late 2011 MBP, works perfectly fine. I haven't seen a PC laptop with such build quality *at a significantly lower price*. The software is perfect for me as well: OS is reasonably fast, very stable, and there is a great assortment of included software included for free, quite unlike the crapware that certain manufacturers put on their PCs. I'm a 'developer', and OSX is pretty good for development, but also for writing, music making, video editing, etc.. Beats Windows and Linux by a large margin.

I replaced components, though: the original HD by an SSD, more memory, the fans because they started making too much noise. Since that's not possible with the current MBPs anymore, I'm not sure what my future machine is going to be.

This is one of the reasons why 2017 won't be the year of Linux on the desktop. It's only for the tech-savvy with a real commitment to keeping their hardware running on Linux.

As I posted above, I haven't had a crash in a long time, but indeed, I don't use fb nor g+.
