None of the best minds in AI Research are from the United States. We would not be were we are without the work of foreign scientists. There are more STEM students in China than we have students in the United States, and those universities don't give out automatic As like we do here in the United States.

I hate to burst the New Scientist's bubble, but this is nothing new. We have had systems for decades that operated under "Fire and Forget". We have missles that either go to a pre-designated point or chase a heat or radar signature once they are fired.

Human soldiers kill civilians and other soldiers on the same side. It is called "friendly fire". It is horrible, and should be avoided, but humans are more likely to make this kind of mistake more than a computer or AI model.

Here are some facts about Cuba and oil. The Cuban government was getting free oil from Venezuella. That ended on Jan. 3rd. Cuba was taking that oil, and reselling most of it on the open oil market. Cuba also has their own oil wells, so they can produce oil if they need it. Cuba was also having power outages prior to Jan 3rd.

Cuba also used to have the best economony in the Caribbean prior to 1959 when the Castro's took over. They switched from a free market ecomony to a state run socialist economy.

Hmm, Wired Magazine. Isn't this the same publication that said that Firewalls were bad?

Ah, Choo Choo trains

Wow, it sounds like they are becomming a bunch of commies.

The new slogan for the global elite flying into Davos next year will be "Sweat, eat bugs, own nothing and enjoy it."

Is this advice from Wesley Snipes?

I guess Bill Gates has a virus.

I guess they got a 404

The countries of the EU need to ask themselves why these software unicorns are not starting in their countries. Why do so many European entrepeneurs come to the United States to start their businesses?

The EU has a tendency to regulate business before they ever get started. They might want to look at their regulatory structure so companies like Zoom start in the EU, and not in United States.

It is not Rudolf?

No shit Sherlock!

The two hardest things to do in computer science is knowing when to invalidate cache and how to name things.

Hey, whatever happened to those Killer Bees?

I write about my recent experience trying to find a new job as a software engineer

Apple will be releasing OS updates for most of their mobile devices pretty soon. There is a change that has ruffled the features of a lot of people in the online advertising industry.

The issue revolves around an API that Apple has for iOS called the Advertising Identifier, or IDFA for short.

I am not sure what good it will do to join a Union if you can't collectively bargain. You would essentially be paying dues out of your salary, and not getting anything in return. If you don't like Google, then quit.

I think express is fine for small projects. I also like Hapi.

I am very excited about this new feature.
