Reminiscent of HPE's comment at the In-Memory Compute Summit September 2017 - GSI's PIM paper would be interesting with a few changes. Also persistent memory will be announced most probably in May time frame which is required with GSI's which requires a non-destructive Read...,

I am concerned with the proclivity of police to "empty the clip" into an individual. At some point they seem to just make the switch to a violent video game without remorse or empathy for their actions. Shouldn't this be something that should be asked in gauging a police prospect before "arming" them with a license to kill?
Is this going pass the underwear stage stretching CNN to fit the Emperor's new clothes? Hinton's caught up in a mind boggling batch of mumbo-jumbo that proves no one understands how the brain actually works or is even close. Winter is nigh near. Till that time it's pin the tail on the donkey time...,

Grinding wheat left byproducts of the stone burrs in the wheat product. This ground the enamel off peoples teeth leaving them nearly toothless by their mid-thirties.

Some people have never tasted freshly milled flour made into bread. Total pity that...,

Robots can't taste. Something that no one really wants to take on for a number of reasons the first being that we haven't a clue how it works. Variables in a Caesar Salad occupy wide spreads. Blending taste is still an art that most Chefs have trouble achieving as will the machine intelligence that conquers taste. Wondering how machine intelligence will handle hunger pangs caused by the sudden thought of a Caesar Salad, ensconced with Pain au Levain Croutons, shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano and salted Anchovies on the side. Even the selection of the right sea salt affects the outcome of this wonderful concoction not to mention what mustard and Worcestershire Sauce is best used. The other problem stems from the camaraderie that such a meal requires (haven't even got to the wine pairing yet) to be wholly satisfying. Some people have problems with the origin of the language that really counts as in "companion" - stems from "one whom with you break bread with"...,
