What's that, Lassie? Dogs show signs of self-awareness according to peer-reviewed academic study?

I take it you're not a Facebook user?

Quit worrying about killer robots, they are coming whether you like it or not – and they absolutely will not stop

Re: Isn't this all bollocks though?

The only price for collateral damage is the price of the wasted munitions and a short bollocking in the Guardian.

Re: Can't come soon enough

Not necessarily, the 'training data' will presumably come from jarheads rather than the people in the lab coats.

Of course they might have physical difficulties performing torture...

Only one Huawei? We pitted the P30 Pro against Samsung and Apple's best – and this is what we found

Re: Exploding heads...

I shouldn't think it's the camera per se that's"blowing up" peoples heads but rather the optics and perspective. If you use a wide angle lens too close people will look distorted and, just a wild guess, are you tall? The "from on high" perspective will distorted the subjects heads if you're too close. Better to back off and bend your knees and maybe crop afterwards.

Re: Eaiser to do as a group and in the USA

Re: No problem

Samsung Galaxy's flagship leaks ... don't matter much. Here's why

Re: No jack, Jack.

I don't understand how people still have the energy to, year after year, get apoplectic about the lack of a jack. Normally you get a free adapter to the usb port that in the worst case extends your cable by 3 cms. What is the problem? How can that overshadow all the new tech squeezed into a new flagship phone?
