Sven_··on How I blew it with Mark Zuckerberg
Sounds like Donald Trump's route up the mountain.
Sven_··on Will the proliferation of affordable AI decimate the middle class?
Doesn't matter too much. They will invariably get bought out by whoever is waving a large cheque in their face. All the "deep learning" stuff could have easily spun out startups from academia but look at what has happened instead. Its especially rare these days cause all the big powerhouses(Goog/FB/MS/Amazon/Apple) are highly insecure about when they are going to get disrupted overnight. And since they are all sitting on mountains of cash they can afford to throw highly ridiculous amounts at ppl.

There are very few examples where it doesn't happen. I can only think of Torvalds\Linux and Wikipedia.

Sven_··on U.S. government worse than all major industries on cyber security
Time to just outsource USG data and services to Zuckerberg.

He's possibly handling more data, providing more services and doing it with what...10K engineers?

We are just going to see more and more Sony type hacks, Manning/Snowden type events. Just look at what happened with Bangladesh's Central Bank and Philippines voter records.

Going forward I just don't see Govt IT coping on their own. Things are just moving too fast and they have my sympathies.

Sven_··on Kite – Programming Copilot
I use Zeal. Local. Opensource. Uses Dash's docsets. Has basic integration with Sublime.

I have a feeling lot of the functionality of Kite will eventually get into Zeal type local tools.
