I don't see what's hard about fizzbuzz, but I know gently caress-all about programming so my immediate thought is always "it's only 100 results, just hardcode them".

corn in the bible posted:robot cars are gonna kill a whole lotta cats and dogs Don't worry, they solved this by making them stop for anything in the road, up to and including plastic bags. It's shocking really, who could have possibly expected that something completely incapable of thought would have trouble distinguishing between a piece of debris, a small animal, and a toddler?

pangstrom posted:We have kind of beat the robo car thing into the ground but, for the "heh dumb machines" camp, please take a quick look around at your fellow drivers next time you're on the road. I know every time I have to slow down for a traffic snag I look in the rear view and pray the guy behind me isn't texting. I've seen a serious car wreck happen almost once a year over the last 5 years and I drive very little. People do a lot of things that are well beyond the bleeding edge of AI but moving vehicles through space isn't going to be one of them for long. And why, exactly, do you expect autonomous cars to be better at this than humans are?

Subjunctive posted:Was Theranos' flouting essential to their business model, as Uber's is, or just reckless operation? I would say that it was rather essential, given that they were selling a product that did not work. Bonus thing I found while checking exactly what rules they were flouting: Wikipedia posted:On December 2, The Washington Post revealed the exploration of a partnership with the US military had led to issues being found with the Edison device and a request that the FDA investigate. This request was denied by United States Marine Corps General James Mattis after Holmes's intervention. Mattis later joined the Board of Directors of Theranos. I feel like someone should hang for this.
