From their first years of life, human beings have the innate ability to learn continuously and build mental models of the world, simply by observing and interacting with things or people in their surroundings. Does it involve putting diapers on the AI?

No, but it does depend on punching you in the face and then laughing hysterically. And then screaming like they are dying when you give them a gummy bear instead of a sour patch.

Fingerpainting with its own filth?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Golly.
So these guys have advanced their conceptualisations to the point where we were thirty years ago.
I'm impressed.
Next thing you know, they'll be inventing the Internet.
Or the abacus.

The article, para 2: A new report from Insight claims that UK office workers waste 1.8 hours every year (2.4 hours a week), struggling with the technology they’re given as working tools. Remind me again, how many weeks are there in a year? They probably spend all that time looking for the right Calendar app.

Back in the '80s, we Brits were way better at wasting time at work - lunch-time drinking, POETS day, office golf, incessant tea making ... you name it. We made our own entertainment in those days and didn't have to rely on technology to slow us down.
We may have been poor but we were happy!

The biggest technological time waster is in deciding whether to walk around looking busy carrying a laptop or a tablet, or just sticking with the tried-and-trusted clipboard.

Early this year, we reported about a serious vulnerability in WhatsApp app that will allow hackers to install spyware in your iPhone or Android. Sure is a good thing there aren't any governments that will use this inappropriately

Listen, guys, use something "exotic" like TokBiz or WeChat, eh?
They do the same data reaping, but they DGAF about the data from Western users, so you get security and anonymity via total lack of interest.

Can we Please remember that the best AI in the world is still several orders of magnitude thicker than two short planks?
As something of long-term AI dev/creator, I really am so sick of overblown cr@p like this.
Yes, feeding varied images will work, because THE WHOLE POINT is that you feed varied images.
Too many people still seem to believe that AIs see images as if they were images.
They don't. They see ones and zeroes; pixels, at best. No AI in the entire world understands that it's looking at a picture, because it doesn't know what a picture is (except by file extension, sometimes), or that a picture represents a snapshot of a moment in "the real world" (which it also has absolutely no knowledge of).
It would make me sooooo happy if I were to read an article about AI that was written by someone who has a bluddy clue what he's talking about.

Everyone that works in an office (especially in an open office space) will have to deal with daily distractions, and software developers are no exception. It will just be a minute...

In this post, I am going to show why I think the internal keyword, when put on class members, is a code smell and suggest better alternatives. Or did someone microwave salmon in the shared kitchen (again)?

Ah, the "I'm bored so I'll attack a standard language construct."
And pretend that encapsulation doesn't just apply to classes.
And, to fix this error, I'll propose something even more complicated and convoluted.

The guy does not understand the "organisational" meaning of "internal".
A public method can be accessed by anyone who has access to that class. That may be a developer who is not in your team - e.g. a user of your API.
For accessing internal members, you need to have access to the innards of that assembly. That applies to a much smaller group of people, and they have also access to the actual implementation, i.e. they have (potentially) far more knowledge about those methods.

I guess the guy never heard of encapsulation and implementation or data hiding. The "internal" keyword is basically like private, but at a module level.
