You should look at the specs and how FaceID works. It's so much more than just a camera.

The iPhone X is currently the only device to support face detection. All other iPads, iPhones, and MacBook Pro range use TouchID. It was years before it was ever added to the Mac, it'll likely be years before FaceID arrives as well.
Care to explain it, then? I'm not sure what the point of the answer is since the miracle referenced happened in the course of one meeting. A fish farm wasn't in the picture.
And yet the Mac has a malware killswitch. Clearly it can be done.
Hmm, interesting. Personally I think everyone should be allowed to post it, regardless of proclaimed profession.

However, what I think Google is attempting to do here, is prevent "ISIS beheads infidels, join now, link in description".

Obviously they are failing miserably at that, and there might even be something sinister going on.

But, that is how I would distinguish between journalist and devout terrorist.
How are you "pretty sure" about that?
I'm confused re: this slide at 24m23s:

> We cannot know if a thrown exception in a Promise is going to be caught or not

Bryan could you explain this? If you catch exceptions, or handle uncaught exceptions, it'll be caught.

process.on('unhandledRejection', function(reason, promise) {
console.log(promise);
});

If programmatic errors were not exceptions as you wish, what would they be instead?
Most of the TV and movies you've been watching since things went digital are cases where 'high dynamic range' has been jammed into a standard dynamic range container (most features and high-end drama would shoot either raw or record sensor data using some form of logarithmic transfer function to maximize the amount of information per bit or encoding). All information coming from the debayered raw or camera's widest 'record gamut' that's outside of the Rec.709 (or P3 for cinema) colourspace has simply been mapped down to an equivalent Rec. 709 / P3 value via a Look Up Table, graded down to fit within the output gamut, or simply clamped/thrown away.

HDR now gives a lot more to play with from a post production standpoint (when shot raw or using some logarithmic transfer function to encode the sensor data), as more of the picture information coming off the camera sensor can be utilised (where exposure, recording format and compression allow)
You'd need to bring down those numbers to a per-capita basis for them to be relevant though, I don't think America is anything special.
Censorship doesn't serve the interests of Google nor the government.

If Google deactivates accounts then Google loses data. In big data it's best practice to keep everything, discard nothing. Government loses an opportunity for surveillance which could potentially be important. Why would we for example shut down White Supremacist accounts when doing so removes the possibility of keeping tabs on them. It makes them quieter, has a chilling effect and their activities go underground. Where's the benefit in that? By closing "bad" accounts like Right Wing white supremacy groups the public never sees their material which unless you happen to be one of them always discredits them. Censoring these unpopular groups only protects them from discrediting themselves from the larger public and we lose valuable clues or evidence in the event someone is plotting a crime or has already committed a crime.

In this particular story involving Manning, Google shutting down an account with information critical of the government makes Google and the government look bad. It does more harm to their public image than good. This material has already been available for a very long time and nothing new is learned. Why bother to censor? Neither Google nor the government stand to gain anything and only open themselves up to lose.

For all the censorship Google or the government engages in, in practice nothing of substance is ever covered up anyway.

At the beginning:

The most valuable insights...

Toward the end:

So it's doubly important not to let yourself be discouraged by people who say there's not much new about something you've discovered. "Not much new" is a real achievement when you're talking about the most general ideas. Maybe if you keep going, you'll discover more.

I really feel like Paul is conflating valuable and novel here. When you create something that solves someone's problem, who cares whether the ideas behind it are novel or not?

> You are investing time and money into maintaining primitive capabilities that are far inferior to the technology-enabled capabilities available to you in the modern world

Except when it comes to food. Growing your own food and cooking it yields far better quality than what you can buy in stores or restaurants. Yes there is time involved, but with practice, your time is recouped in such a way that you're enjoying dishes on a similar level of taste as what you'd pay over $100 a head in a high-end restaurant. And you get to do that multiple times a week.

This holds even for food you don't grow but still cook (for me: meats). The downside of course is that now it is very hard to enjoy food in a restaurant unless it's high-end or in an ethnic specialty I don't master. (raises pinky finger :) )

It didn't have face detection at all, it had an iris scanner. Where in that article does it say infra-red dot map of a face?

From https://www.petri.com/windows-10-tip-using-the-lumia-950-wit...:

>Let’s be clear about how Windows Hello works on the Lumia 950. It doesn’t use facial recognition, but instead relies on the front camera and a nearfield IR diode so that the camera can clearly see your iris. When you enable Windows Hello for the first time, your iris is scanned and a cryptographic hash is generated and stored securely on the phone. When you attempt to unlock the device using Windows Hello, a new hash is generated and compared with the original, and if the two match, access is granted.

>Facial recognition on the other hand, as used in some new notebooks designed for Windows 10 and Intel’s RealSense F200 camera, uses three different methods to recognize your face: infrared, a standard camera, and a 3D camera. This technology requires more space inside the device and as such isn’t suitable for use in phones, but unlike iris scanning works at a distance.

You didn't get downvoted for mentioning a feature already implemented elsewhere, you were downvoted by trying to claim a device did something it clearly didn't.

Maybe you remember when you started playing go. If you played with strong kyu players (not even dans) you could get all your stones captured. I managed to win a 17 stones handicap game by 80 points as white. It's ok to try it for fun once (we did that for fun) but it's not fun anymore on the second time. I went on explaining all the most common mistakes in that game.

The point is that a game with such a gap as go is fun of you have a ladder of increasingly stronger opponents to play with. 20 kyu, 18 kyu, 16 kyu, etc. If the AI is a dan player, whatever it means in Quake, the gap is probably too wide for many people, especially since games started to be easy to win to retain players.

Thanks for writing :)

Right now I would say that I have some insights that I feel are really unique and interesting, at least to me, and maybe a few friends.

However, they aren't monetizable to fans or marketable to employers. This has been fairly evident to me after a year of youtubing and twittering and twitching and etc.

So, even though I enjoy it, I really start to question if my ideas are actually that great, or if the addressable market is just not very large.

Good luck !!! :)
> I do think it's fair to be suspicious and that we should be vigilant about it, but I don't think that 1500 requests a year is too out of line.

Those 1500 requests cover about 15 million people though, which skews the weighting. That gives me concern.

> If there's a 'known process' for getting warrants, and law enforcement knows what will be approved and what won't

Either that, or there is a culture that rejecting a warrant needs extenuating circumstances, in which case it becomes a large concern.

We can't know if the oversight is simply managerial, or actually effective. It's done with the utmost secrecy, with many punishments awaiting any who might speak out.

> I think the big concern is the 'mass surveillance' - or when local cops are making requests to do local-yocal small cases that don't have relevance to things like actual terrorism.

Unfortunately FISA enables mass surveillance. And the checks and balances seem heavily weighted against the individual, and in favour of a state they can't oppose.
It's the Apple modus-operandi of late, take an existing technology and improve it to the point where the friction is non existent.

Sure, many devices had fingerprint scanners before Touch ID, but the Apple implementation was pretty damn impressive compared to what came before.

Still, I can't help but feel that Face ID is a fudge they resorted to because they couldn't get Touch ID working through the screen reliably.
Privacy does not matter, rule of law also doesn't matter, interfering with citizens personal effects also doesn't matter, torture is ok, surveillance and banana courts are 'lawful'. Given these are fundamental defining principles of democracy what do we call our current system. Lip service?
Does this difference in job preference extend to times and places where different genders dominate some fields? For example, teaching used to be a predominantly male job in the US until the late 19th century. For a less extreme example, there used to be (proportionally) many more women in computing just a few decades ago than there are now.

I'm highly suspicious of any claim that biology affects typically gendered jobs, whether because of suitability or just because of preference, because it seems like gender roles in employment ought to be a lot more consistent if that were true.
Comlink: An RPC library for the web
This seems to be the argument that Richard Stallman has been making for years.
>Does this kind of nitpicking actually invalidate the argument?

It does if there are enough nitpicks showing that natural behaviors are becoming more accepted because they are natural. That isn't to say they are acceptable, but they are more accepted. And this doesn't have to be true of all behaviors, because there are many factors at play. It is even possible there could be a trend where behaviors are becoming more acceptable because they are natural even if all behaviors were becoming less acceptable, if there was another stronger force acting to make all behaviors less acceptable.

But if we want to get to the actual argument first presented, we would have to realize that comparing it to murder, adultery, or sexual assault is a strawman to begin with. The OP wasn't defending going around and murdering people who didn't look like you. They were saying that millions of years of evolution will influence our behaviors in small ways. It would be compared to other preferences, such as preferences in intimate partners. So, is wanting to have a specific gender, race, etc. in an intimate partner wrong? Is it socially unacceptable?

Most comments here are explaining what's meant by game AI's and how they're not closely related to "AI" as understood in other fields.

There definitely is lots of room for interesting applications of "real" AI in games. Apart from NPCs, learning and building models about the player has lots of potential too.

The interesting-game-ai field is of hard to keep track of, because the search resuls are full of combat AI discussions, which is pretty uninteresting.
If it puts you in a camp, it's effectively the same thing.
> Do you think their tax rate will be closer to the average tax rate or the statutory tax rate?

> Losing is fun
~ Dwarf Fortress Motto

I'm on basically the same boat. One of my biggest frustrations with my gaming friends is that they can't ever lose. Sometimes they can't even win unless they win by enough.

When I play games I'm there to have fun. Trying to win is fun, winning is fun, losing is also fun. It's all fun.

DotA, LoL, etc would be games I'd play a lot if the community weren't the shining example of "can't lose, or even win by less than they `should have`".

There are NO good Open Source video editing software made for Linux, and I'm pretty confident about this.

I'm currently using shotcut, it's buggy and just work, not great. With it, you can crop the video, change color, do some easy compose it etc, but that's almost all.

If you have a good computer, you can try DaVinci Resolve. Though it's not an open source software, but it will give you After Effect+ level experience.

I had some experience with 3ds Max & After Effect, and I tried Blender few days ago (For Editing Video and 3D modeling). What I found is that the UI of Blender is a chaotic torment even for people like me. It even cause some hard time when all I want is just to "close" (Or Shrink) a panel.

I'm not saying Blender is a bad software, I just hoping Blender can have a more organized, focused and solid UI. Then it will be friendlier for greens who want to learn it.

Heh, I was confused at first before remembering that what I have been using for these past years was a "beta". Unfortunately, I guess that means all these great new features in the announcement are ones that I'm already completely familiar with. But I suppose I should still go and upgrade my license. It's been my daily driver editor for more than 5 years now, and it's easily worth the $30 to upgrade my ST2 license!
In terms of opening speed at least - it still crushed both VSCode & Atom.
Sometimes your actual data doesn't map well to "standard programming structures".

There is this interesting old documentary with a similar premise called Connections by James Burke: (first episode) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnwpsp_veetle-connections-s...

It uses the 1965 New York power outage as starting point for the discussion on how modern society relies on technology and the consequences of a breakdown. It then goes through the technology tree from the humble plow all the way up to aerospace and how seemingly unrelated things cause us to end up in our current technological state (like how a excess of linnen lead to cheaper paper and widespread literacy).
