Next up: people start getting into Zuckerberg’s home by holding up a life size picture of Andrea’s face.
Or a small picture close to the camera.
Good point. This technique might also help to combat the multiple cameras.

> This would never be secure enough for a normal persons house The Canadians beg to differ ;)
Could you explain your comment for us? I'd guess that maybe Canadians are known for leaving their homes unlocked??
Even in Sebastopol (about an hour north of SF), (some) people never lock their front door.

I'm not sure I'd call raising a kid mundane... hahaha
Yeah, I see what you mean... I guess I meant that compared to running a multi-billion dollar company, changing diapers or reading Cat in the Hat for the millionth time seems pretty mundane.
You're missing what raising a child entails if you think that's all it entails. If you raise a child without the deep emotional investment that comes from a parent, you're not going to raise a child well at all.

#194For me, the primary takeaway was: "This suggests that future AI products cannot be solely focused on voice and will need a private messaging interface as well." > This preference for text communication over voice communication fits a pattern we're seeing with Messenger and WhatsApp overall, where the volume of text messaging around the world is growing much faster than the volume of voice communication. This suggests…
I think a display in my bathroom (smart mirror style) which would alert me if the night's low would be low enough to bring the birds in would work best for me. Plus maybe a push alert to my phone if the temp got low and I hadn't ack'd the alert on the smart mirror. But then I tend to brush my teeth before getting undressed :-)

#195Why is no-one talking about the fact that this is completely, 100% NOT cloud based?
It uses FB Messenger for the non-voice API. How is that NOT cloud-based?

Have a read of this; http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolu... It's a very long read, but it will give you a much better overview of AI and the different "calibres" than I could possibly try to in a HN comment. What Mark has used here is "Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)", the first of three levels/calibres of AI. Level 2 is "Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)", otherwise known as "Human…
sigh this is why I don't usually get involved in arguments about whether something is considered AI or not; it just devolves into people trying to define and redefine what the word 'AI' even means. Final word: I follow this stuff closely and read the research articles, and what we currently have is really great, but it's still just pulling the wool over your eyes. These techniques and algorithms trick you into thinki…
To be fair, I fool people into thinking I'm intelligent all the time.

No, it doesn't work that way. CEOs/VPs never had house chores as major time sink. When you are at that level, you are responsible for 1000+ employees, 100s of teams and dozens of projects. Each project and team requires at least quarterly review, funding, strategy, motivation, vision, market analysis, HR, budgeting, PR, partners and so on. A typical CEO/VP works well over 12 hours, often at least 14 hours and many wo…
>If you look at their schedules, you had be quite wrong. // Do you have any evidence to show your affirmation that CEOs work really hard and "often at least 14 hours and many work one weekend days" is true and other's affirmations that they "play golf all day" is absolutely false?
What makes you think that working and playing golf all day are even different things?
Larry Ellison was renowned for doing massive sales deals of Oracle on golf courses. If you get in 18 holes and leave with $10 million, were you not working?
At executive levels a part of the job deals with relationships, and those are work. Much less so the "nose to the grindstone in front of the computer" sort of work.

>> Calling it AI is a bit of a stretch though Mark replied to a comment along these exact lines. Quote below; Mark Zuckerberg: That's the thing about AI. It's sort of like magic. We only call things AI that we don't understand yet. Once we understand something, it's just math. But if you'd asked someone 30 years if a computer system that you could talk to, that could see your friends and let them in, that could learn…
In my parents generation, and the generation that came after them (the one my siblings belong to, Gen X), I still think this differentiation between concepts of fictional AI were present. Consider for example the computer systems in Star Trek, and especially The Next Generation, and contrast how they worked with how Commander Data was depicted. The computer systems on Star Trek can be programmed using natural languag…
Pardon my nerding out, but I think the difference between the computer system and Data was the degree of self-determination given to each system. When the holodeck was instructed to create an opponent capable of defeating Data, it created an sentient Moriarty AI. The computer system was fully capable of being a full AI, it was just never instructed to.

#199I'm not a fan of facebook or Zuckerberg, but I do appreciate it that he still keep challenge himself.Maybe some of his projects is not really "AI" stuff. But it's not easy to keep coding when you are CEO of a big company.
