It might be unclear for an A.I. But a human being can use their "theory of mind" and rule out any implausible interpretations of what a fellow human being means when they complain Siri is texting Dad, not Mom, when they say text M

I think you misread the parent post? Obviously if parent expects "text Mom" to call Mom, not Dad, then the poster has explicitly set one to Mom and the other to Dad.

I find your earlier post confusing. You told a story that began "My uncle constantly had a police scanner on when I was young..." The story ends with the supposition that the uncle's obsession with the police scanner saved h

Reading the newspaper at breakfast is an old TV trope. If TV is any indication it's socially acceptable to read things during the first meal of the day but not the latter ones.

I don't follow. All high end OLED TVs these days have a 120 hz refresh rate. This would appear to disprove the idea that TVs have too low a refresh rate for cats.

I have a 120 hz Oled Android TV. Unless Youtube drops frames speeding up a 30 FPS video 4x should hit 120 FPS. I've never heard of someone filming a video for cats in 4x slow motion and asking people to play it at 4x to entertain a ca

I don't think making Youtube videos go at 4x speed will result in more interest from the cats, but I'll test it later. Of course the TV thing was just an example, cats don't pass the mirror test (If you put red dye on one par

I see your point and you are both correct and incorrect. It's true that an indie artist who needs to sell, say, 5,000 comics a year doesn't have to care about market share as long as they can support themselves with the sales of

I can see the logic of calling east asian comics "comics". But why would an English speaker use a Japanese term, "manga" to refer to all east Asia comics?
