I'll mention something that we all probably know: The crumminess is the point. Anyone with any intelligence would pass over this as a scam. The scammers don't want someone with any intelligence. Hence, the more obviously that it&#

There's a saying in DnD: "Bad DnD is worse than no DnD" I'll agree. I've had bad groups and, wow, yeah. I'd rather have just doom scrolled my phone for 4 hours. So, an AIDnD is wonky now, but it's better t

One major disturbance to 1) in CA is Prop 13 Property Taxes in CA are determined based on the time of purchase. They are only allowed to go up 2% per year, while the rise in market value increases much faster. Meaning that you are highly

I'm not a 'programmer'. At best, I'm a hacker, at best . I don't work in a team. All my code is mostly one time usage to just get some little thing done, sometimes a bit of personal stuff too. I mostly use Excel an

I just want to echo this here and in a bit different wording: AI will provide step-by-step guides on how to make viruses that just about any idiot can follow, for very cheap, and in under a year time frame. I really really hope I'm m

So, I have little ones too. And AI, to me, ends up being a tool. One that will very much help out. However, the post brings up a good point: Education isn't cheap. Looking through the history of pedagogy, 'teaching' has never

I maintain that whoever invents a robust laundry folding robot will be a trillionaire. In that, I dump jumbled clean clothes straight from a dryer at it and out comes folded and sorted clothes (and those loner socks). I know we're ge

Pretty much. The issue with zippers is that the fabric moves about in unpredictable ways. Piano playing was just movement programs. Zipping required (surprisingly) fast feedback. Also, gripping is somewhat tough compared to pressing.

And how are you supposed to take interviews and have the time to apply for jobs with a sick screaming toddler in the room? I'll add that about 40% of children are born to unwed mothers in the US. https://www.statista.com&#x2

It would be a complex situation in the US at least. The issue is the Right to Work states. If your childcare is tied to your employment, and you can lose your job at any time, you then can lose your childcare at any time. That sets up incen

I mean, drones are pretty cheap, yeah? Why not just join the fun? Buy a drone, follow one of these other ones around, see what happens. Worst case: Some army dude knocks on the door and says to stop it, maybe you gotta pony up to a lawyer.

I just want to point out that the time for one to randomly appear is somewhere between 10^10^50 and 10^10^69, which is is a pretty large gap. Like the difference between the two is just 10^10^69, mostly. I'll point out here that I&#x27

One of the main issues that enterprise AI has is the data in large corporations. It's typically a nightmare of fiefdoms and filesystems. I'm sure that a lot of companies would love to use AI more, both internally and commercially.
