The link is indeed a Da Vinci.
The day robots start doing surgery is the day we stop learning new techniques and surgeries imo. Neuro is still guessing half the time.

But being more profitable doesn't mean that there won't still be a niche for the less profitable commodity. As long as there's money in the ground, someone will figure out a way to dig it up and burn it.

>The virtual sensor itself is something tested, redone, and redeveloped. We made it faster, with less code. But we also proved that the sensor replaces the hardware sensor with 95% accuracy."
So, if I'm reading this right, the hardware is still more accurate?

Yes, but in order to emulate something you'd have to program the emulation first.

Are you implying some kind of devine intervention? Because by definition any one turing complete system can emulate any other.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Reasonably_Bee:
I'm interested in connected cars and this is a fascinating use case of CAN bus data as a conduit for gaining data insights from a vehicle without needing to rely on hardware sensors – these seem to be more vulnerable to the moving car environment than I thought, and prone to failure after a relatively short time.

Reply to Do you think BluRay DVDs are the final form of physical media? Or will a new physical media format come to be, and what would that look like? by Daveyb003
I recall hearing about some research a few years ago into 3D data storage based on quartz crystals. They were able to get an extremely high information density, hundreds of terabytes on an object you can fit in your hand. Also, the medium is extremely durable; you could bury it in the ground and the data would remain perfectly readable for billions of years. The equipment for writing and reading the data (and creating sufficiently precise crystals) is still pretty rare and expensive, but the proof-of-concept suggests that it could make its way into widespread use someday.

> Predictive policing... wouldn't that require preemptive due process?
Depends on how you do it.
For example, the model might say "a crime is likely to occur on this street on these days". So, assign a police car to hang out there on those days - you use the presence to prevent the crime from occurring.

Not all satellites. Most of the satellites I’ve worked on simply turn their solar arrays into a high drag configuration if they need to make adjustments to miss something, and when they reach end of life they just turn and stay that way to deorbit. If you’re in Low earth orbit even a dead sat will deorbit in about 5-10 years.

Wow. Elegant explanation. Just not as scary. So, u/Damianucl …
The Singularity refers in this case to a theoretical idea that Artificial Intelligence could achieve exponential growth and possibly consciousness, or at least act to preserve its own safety and best interest, which could easily not be the same as what’s best for humanity. Ya know. Skynet.
I just want to know when that happens so I can stay home, or at least dress right that day.

His father owned an emerald mine. Possible it has some abusive labor practices, but unlikely to be outright slavery in 1969.
His father was elected to a city council running for the anti-apartheid party, so if he was a "slave-owner", he was running against his own interests.

Reply to comment by Gameplan492 in AI displacing jobs is a red herring, how we self-organize is the more fundamental trend by mjrossman
It doesn't "replace a human." Just as a few people and a couple pieces of farm equipment replaced dozens or hundreds of workers on a farm, so too will AI coupled with a software architect and a couple seasoned programmers replace entire teams.
I know this because I'm already doing it.

I think he knows too well not to fuck with SpaceX.
Anything else is fair game, though.

Title needs “from accumulating” at the end. This does nothing for the existing pieces.

I think of it as a point in time where technology advances by itself
It is difficult to predict what will happen after that

The chatbot tends to lie. Have you checked the years for obvious bullshit?
For example, the first result on googling #1 is
>Samuel first wrote a checkers-playing program for the IBM 701 in 1952. His first learning program was completed in 1955 and was demonstrated on television in 1956
Where did 1959 come from?
