While what happened in Japan sucks and calls for an apology by Mozilla towards the team, the general idea of machine translation on demand is one of the few working examples of machine learning. I’d recommend professional systems instead of google translate, though.
Well, did anyone expect them to admit guilt?
I think this is the bigger problem, actually. It could have prevented a number of femicides.
Wouldn’t it be smarter to have a law that simply and generically adds penalties on a crime committed out of hate against a population group?
So instead of “just” femicide, it could also cover hate against e.g. members of religions, the handicapped, or, in a reverse case, maybe even cover a hate-murder on a man?
As usual. Our government, your government, totally clueless about how the internet works or what it actually is. And with all the money they waste every day, there seems to be no cent left to get some professional who could explain things on a politicians mental level. We’ve got people who successful teach computers to seniors, maybe politicians should hire some…
I had a hard time explaining to the powers that are that AI would not be able to help in any way, simply because there is no knowledge base available for this kind of job of which it could have learned anything worthwhile.
The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.
“Out of curiosity”, just in time he might have gotten cover in a protest of his fan base and reach the American embassy.
Who the heck designs a laptop with an ARM core? Nothing against ARM, they are my bread and butter on the job. But whatever you do, choose the right tools for the right job.
Maybe they should upgrade to support other OSes?
Good move. He still has fans and minions out there who think this is all a big story of corruption and injustice against their Führer.
I don’t think so. Current AI hardware is not really space proof, and shielding it would be cost prohibitive.
Let them send a cluster of AI machines to the ISS so they can run it there, and see how the hardware copes.
And, BTW, cooling will be a serious pain in the astronauts underwear.
And it will leave you debugging strange code for two weeks afterward.
My daughter had to write a university paper once. They required two cameras to be running. One atop the screen like you use for meetings, and one showing the whole desk and the tested person.
Seems to be that learning sites in general are assholes. I once attended a language course, and while their “solution” was web based, it was focused on IE. I had serious issues attending the course under Firefox.
I logged a lot of errors on their site, but their tech support could only manage accounts, the web site had been built by an external company ages ago, and they had no fingers into that.
Is that a hardware or software issue? I.e. is it caused by the windows driver for these laptops’ graphic units?
Does HEVC work with the Linux drivers on these machines?
So the US idea of a “peace plan” is the capitulation of Ukraine and preparing Russia to take what is left in five years time?
What they forget to mention is that you then spend the rest of the week to fix the bugs it introduced and to explain why your code deleted the production database…
All while claiming they did “nothing” when they f-ed up themselves.
Around '98, a tech support guy got a call that their application didn’t work anymore. He tried to troubleshoot, but the system was a mess. “Did you change anything since yesterday?” - “No, we didn’t!”.
What they did do, though, was running the Win98 update the day before. Which, at one point, after doing lots of things, complained that it could not continue for some reason, and offered to “undo” the changes…
He does not want peace. He demanded a capitulation, didn’t get one, and is now pissed that his American asset failed to deliver.
