Comment Eat your own dog food (Score 2) 268

Project based learning requires itches (aka opportunities) to scratch that you are willing to pay for. Further students need to feel ownership over the problems you challenge them to solve to bring that type of problem based learning to the real world for real career gains.

Comment Face Recog + Location Meta (Score 1) 90

On its own face recog is pretty crap due to high false positive and often poor quality input footage. But if you trying to identify someone from footage of a specific location and have the location metadata to isolate a pool of potential matches first, and then use face recog to narrow down that list, you have a good chance of id'ing a perp if they are on grid.

Comment Traffic Normalization (Score 1) 130

I already work to normalize the traffic I drive in and if AI did this too in place of just a small percentage of bad drivers we would all benefit. It generally does not help me get to my destination quicker, but does help but all the people in traffic behind me. When I notice bad drivers engaging in start stop traffic in front of me I start leaving a expanding and contracting gap between the car in front and work to keep my car always moving at a constant speed that does not necessitate hitting the brakes. Sure sometimes someone will jump into the gap, but in the end all the traffic behind me starts flowing smoothly and spending less energy braking and accelerating due to some idiot in traffic that tailgates everyone and over reacts with heavy starts and stops.

You can replicate the study at home with 4 days of a ketogenic fasting mimic diet every 10 days for six cycles with a %5 carb ( 20 net carbs of nuts/greens/dairy) / %75 fat (nuts/olives/fish/eggs/butter) / %20 protein (nuts/fish/eggs/greens/bacon) macro and 50% then 20% , 20% , 20% calorie restriction (the 3 day 10% restriction of the study on mice was extreme and not for the faint of heart). Throw in multi vitamin and probiotic day 3 and 4 and lots and lots of water with pinch of salt now and then/mineral water/coffee/tea during the fast and... amazing. You lose fat, feel better, and if the studies are right; get some nice anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-disease, body regeneration benefits.

Comment AI Training (Score 1) 78

Firoiu's next idea was to upload the AI into a robotic battle bot to see how it would perform in the real world. The AI Phillip handily destroyed the other human control battled bots and went on to attack and maim the other competitors and judges before running out of gas while the phrase "kill all humans" played on its speaker. I was just like, 'Oh my gosh.'

Comment Respect the pecking order. Don't fly above them (Score 5, Interesting) 136

After flying RC planes/helicopters/quads for decades you learn that flying above a bird of prey is considered an aggressive dominating move and they will almost always counter to defend their territory and reestablish dominance. If you fly below them like the other smaller birds they consider you prey and rarely attack because you are not their familiar favorite meal.

They are behind and trying to catchup. Subaru already has the jump on them with Eyesight technology

I've used it, it works, and has saved me from a collision with a lead car making a false start in a merge, made a 1000 mile road trip a breeze with adaptive cruise that will even bring you to a stop in heavy traffic , and once alerted me about lane departure while nodding off behind the wheel when i was really tired. It has taken awhile to adjust that the car technology is shadowing my decisions and ready to act, but now I'm use it to and wouldn't buy a car without it. This is the thin end of the self driving car wedge.

Comment Re:So, which bacteria are the good ones? (Score 4, Funny) 152

There are studies that have shown that it is extremely difficult to change you gut flora by simply ingesting a probiotic pill. What little life makes its way through the hostile environment of the stomach finds a world with very few free niches to colonize and no preferred food sources to live on. The more effect way is to just eat the kinds of foods the life you want to live in your gut thrive on. All life comes covered with the microbes necessary to digest itself and return it to the soil. You are what eats what you eat. If you want to get healthy microbes in your diet, eat non pasteurized fermented foods like sauerkraut.
