I think the argument is that for it to truly be AI, it would need to be able to react to new situations that it isn't trained on.

Like everything it does now is just picking the most likely thing out of the things it was trained on, but with no thought to the current situation.

For example, AI powered self driving cars can't really make decisions like, "hey there is a child playing with a ball on the side of the road, it's not a threat, but I'd better pay attention to where that ball is going". It will just not do anything until it is on a collision course and by that time, it may not have enough space to stop in time, because it also can't really tell the condition of the roads.

The AI as it exists right now basically only knows about the moment it is currently in and the moment it just left. It is not looking toward the future and thinking of possible outcomes and plans of action like we do. It doesn't attempt to identify situations until they actually happen so while it can react faster than a human, humans can make it so they never have to react at all.

I wonder if you could make a context aware sorting system for files. Like if there are a handful of files all similarly named, it could check for sequential numbers and roman numerals and spelled out numbers and just sort them that way.

Me getting on all fours around my dog is a good way to get a one way ticket to zoomie town.

He also hates it when he's panting and I start panting too. He'll look at me like I'm crazy and give me a annoyed woof.

It's more about the fact that why does the streaming service get to earn money in perpetuity for someone else's work and the creators of that work don't get to as well?

If you are jealous of that model, you should probably be fighting for it for yourself as well, not blocking the way for the ones who are trying to fight for themselves.

I think the original quote was something along the lines of, "the customer is always right, in mattera of taste". Meaning to accommodate the customers wishes, even if it's ugly or a bad idea or whatever. Like if they want to paint their house pink with green trim, let them

Heres the thing, other countries sucking doesn't make the US not suck. Like yeah, it's shit other places, but it can also be shit here too. Identifying the problems with a place is the first step to making it better.

Especially in cities with bike lanes, and frequent bike traffic.

Driving into Chicago is a nightmare for me when we go. Just getting into town and parking for the week, I feel so much anxiety looking out for bikers and trying to not be an asshole.

But then once we are parked, it's a week of bliss with all the public transit options.

I already made up my mind that next time we go we are taking the Amtrak train from Toledo to Chicago and skipping the driving bullshit.

Christmas creping into October. Like it already dominates all of December and November, leave Halloween alone.

People at work were talking about going to a store that already has Christmas stuff set up. It's getting ridiculous...

Everything should be glass or aluminum. Preferably aluminum since you don't really have to worry about mixtures and cleaning it, you just melt it down and reshape it. With glass, you have to separate out the different types, and it still breaks down each recycle, I believe, since they mix silica with other compounds to make different kinds of glass.

I honestly don't understand stand why plastic beverage bottles are still a thing. Cans work perfectly. And if you insist on bottles, they can make aluminum cans too.

Maybe Im reading the vibe wrong but to me, it seems like when it comes to the programmer/sysadmin/poweruser side of Microsoft, they seem pretty good in terms of not being total shit. Their "normie" facing side though seems hella shady though. Things like ads in windows, the speculated subscription model for windows, office 365, one drive spam.

For example, things like vscode, WSL, winget, power tools, the new console app, powershell, typescript, opening up .net to native cross platform. All these things are pretty sweet and seem like something they wouldn't be interested in doing.

It almost feels like there are two Microsofts right now and they are at odds with each other. So yeah, I guess enjoy it while it lasts, but always be ready to drop them like a sack of potatoes.

Ahh yes, let's make stores into prisons.

Or how about we bring back cashier's, pay people a living wage andaybe they won't have to resort to stealing.
