    Nailed it with candy crush and your phone. I would like to see a poll of people who actually use those apps.

    -no Candy Crush and matching games included with the install
    -no Your Phone because it's useless
    -improved Windows Store
    -No Windows 10S, which many people thought you had to buy windows 10 home, and didn't know you could switch out of S mode
    -I was also hoping for better compatibility with older software but looks like none of that. Although Android apps is a step in that direction.

    They will keep updating it. I like tuning my windows quite a lot when installing a new version, so I'd like some ideas at least for myself

    If it's a neutral network, which I think this is, then it's not a "fixed function algorithm".
     
     
     
     
    Also, who the hell cares if it fits your (not strictly referencing you Drak3) definition of AI or not? Can we please stop arguing word choice and instead talk about this technology? It's pretty cool, but some people seem more occupied with being pedantic and nitpicking words.
    This reminds me of waifu2x, which uses a convolutional neural network for upscaling and denoising pictures (specifically trained for anime characters).

    Incorrect. There are (very roughly speaking) three kinds of AI:
     
    -Narrow AI (as the OP pointed out)
    -General AI (we're still, according to estimates by the likes of Ray Kurzweil, 10 to 20 years away from it)
    -Super AI (the debate on how long it would take for super AI to become a reality is ongoing, but there is an agreement that it would ramp up rapidly after achieving General AI).
     
    What you have in your calculator, phone, ect... is "narrow AI". The problem seems to have a linguistic dimension, as the word "AI" is used so often that the currency of the exchange is somewhat diluted. However, for the time being, stating "narrow AI" is sufficient for algorithms that are specialized in one domain. How those algorithms were achieved is irrelevant (case in point, Alphago Zero vs Alphago Master)

    The Sony Xperia XZ Premium was actually the first phone on the market to do something like this. The thing is though that it's not AI they actually have miniature high speed cameras built into the phone, they have their own super fast memory which is I think closely related to HBM.

    A laptop's first purpose is being portable, it's stupid giving up battery life for a 4k screen when Windows doesn't not support 4k resolution on all apps and scaling does not work that well, also having a bigger price and using system resources for a feature that you never use is also stupid(talking about touchscreen now).

    I've gotten rid of a lot over the years but have still stubbornly held onto a few items.  Mostly controllers.
     
    3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 AGP
    3DFX Hammerhead FX Gamepad, built by Interact and uses a gameport.
     

     
    I used to overclock this Voodoo 5 a few Mhz to get reasonable frame rates playing Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne.  So Good!  I had two, but returned one for an ATI Radeon 9600XT for TV connectivity.
     
    I still have and use my ACT Labs Force RS Wheels, Shifter, and Pro Pedals too still getting used for Project Cars.  They're starting to wear and fail needing to upgrade soon.  There is a Gravis Joystick too that I played MechWarrior 2-4 with.

    SandalsWarrior got a reaction from mrchow19910319 in What do people hate about Apple?   
    "overpriced overpriced overpriced". Do you even know what u are talking about or are u just jumping on a hate train? Look at the phones, it's priced the same as the Samsung/Pixel and other flagships from mainstream brands.
    On the laptop/notebook side of things? Yeah they are expensive but they are much better optimized than Windows(look at MKBHD who uses a mac just because at a fraction of the specs he can edit videos 10 times faster), they are also very slim and slick, maybe one of the better build laptops with great screen,touchpad and speakers. Also if you look in the ultrabook category, the XPS 15 or other products are just as expensive.
     
    I do not own any Apple products and for a while (before I knew anything about tech) I hated them as well but I do not think they deserve the hate they get for every single thing they implement. This being said, I am not a fanboy whatsoever but I do not like hate trains and a lot of people who hate Apple have no ideea what they are talking about. Also, I do not agree with everything they do and I do think that some of their products are a bit overpriced(apple watch is actually very overpriced).
     
    P.S. I kinda agree with Apple for the technological upgrade they are generating, for example even though they did not invent usb type C we would still have the old connector on every device, even phones. They also represent a HUGE player in the smartphone market and with the competition from them, all the other brands have to come up with better and better products at a lower cost to be at the same playfield with Apple. Also, they took part in developing other technologies like thunderbolt and when people say that they are always behind with what everyone else does, that is kinda true because, from what I've seen, they only implement a technology in their products after it's mature enough to work as intended (eg. fingerpring ID was trash at the beggining, faceID was also bad and no one used it(Samsung tried iris scan which was a total fail) and now we see companies like OnePlus taking that path). They are not customer friendly, the customization allowed by them is close to 0 and they never heard of open-source BUT we have to give credit where it's due and not just hate for the sake of hating, if their customers would't line up for days for a phone launch I bet the Apple hate community would be half the size.
