It's completely the opposite at my local ENT. There are many signs saying to NOT use Q-Tips. In the exam rooms, at the reception, in the waiting area, down the hall, etc. It's funny but it does align with being overly cautious. I wonder if they've had too many cases of people puncturing their eardrums.

From the article, I'm seeing this:

"We have reviewed Joe Biden's official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place," it said.

"Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and political by a GOP colleague, have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official US policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing," said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for Mr Biden.

"Trump administration officials have attested to these facts under oath."

I'm not sure what there is to deny.

Delegating interviews isn't a unique thing. A team Lead or a senior dev can handle a good portion of it. It's also important that a candidate have a good fit personality-wise with the team he'll be working with, not just the manager.

I don't like the idea of FPS'. We'd expect them to behave the humans when they play FPS - they run looking forward and will occasionally look left or right and follow some predetermined pathing that they are familiar with.

With an AI, if we base it on pixels, what they will do is spin around 360 degrees about 60 times a second while moving forward so that it can maximize all of the pixels inputted at a time. It would compare it against the stored level design and shoot at anything that is off (or against character models). I can just see that it's not going to behave like anything we'd expect.

I'm calling you out for this lazy comment.

"Ensuing" in this context means after the the failed acquisition and bankruptcy (2001). "Continues" means it's still ongoing. And keep in mind the context of this article is 2012.

There is no redundancy.

Well, if that's the case, then why are humans crashing into others in prefect conditions? It's data that is fair but for certain conditions, as you said. I am interested in how they handle in extreme conditions but the reality is that it is FAR safer in mild conditions BECAUSE they aren't distracted by their cell phones or the sights or being tired/drunk, etc.

The article also somehow associated treating TBI/PTSD through this BCI with creating Super Soldiers. I am not seeing that jump. Super Soldier would imply that they are able to carry out the same tasks that a team could by themselves. We are still very, very far away from that.

I think people are mixing with this article about with their future "expectations" about DARPA

We can throw the same question right back at you. What would you do - kill the girl or kill yourself?

These hypotheticals don't really help the conversation. I don't know how the car would react but it would be nice to know if the car is going to try and work with neighboring cars to try and not hurt anyone. Not to mention that the car will already see the girl crossing the highway before she ever does get out there because of how sophisticated the sensors are.

Yea, I am sure that is the goal. But in order to provide a clean, seamless experience, you need to render what is roughly 3x the amount of data compared to normal 1080p monitors. You'll also want to make sure you don't have dropped frames as that would have a huge impact in the experience. You need high framerates and responsive feeback so that motion sickness is minimized. As you can see, there are a lot of reasons why a high-end graphics card is required. So yes, that is the goal but we can't get there right now.

One thing that confuses me is that series of events: 1)There was a speaker on the stage talking about women in the industry. 2)He happened to bring up an image of a girl in a tech shop. 3)Hank and his friend had several exchanges with the sexual jokes.

The timeframe doesn't seem right. For one, they were talking and giggling while someone was presenting? Is this a common thing? Another is that they were speaking louder than a whisper. Really? Making sexual jokes while someone is presenting in a louder than whisper volume? I don't know. It doesn't add up. Maybe they were really being that immature or your first quote is dramatized.

You're right but it's still vague. It wasn't made clear on how or if they went about getting new jobs. How many resumes sent out? How many interviews? We don't know what their experience level is...etc...etc. Those questions miss the point of what you are getting at (gender/minority bias) but there is still a technical angle in getting a job.

If you zoom in, it becomes a much smaller number. So, you are right that the zoom level affects the values recorded.

How many were vaccinated during for program? It's indicated later in the article that 5 out of 11,000 had an adverse reaction during trials. I wonder if a similar rate was observed during Canada's vaccination program.
