It can't with reliability is what I'm saying. I'm not doubting you built one singular use case where it has. When I feed Copilot a PDF contract and ask it what is my monthly minimum I can charge this client and it tells me $

If they are able to scale at that ratio it will be noteworthy. It is quite unlikely though.

I’m so glad my wife and I are aligned on the manual rinse thing as I don’t think I could suffer silently. We’ve had enough silly disagreements about other things like how to properly load the dishwasher. After a few decades, she does it her

They had to know. My middle schooling coincided during wave of beepers (early 90s) and then high school was mobile phones (late 90s) then college in early 2000s (iPods but not iPhones). During all that time, devices were practically unaccep

We’re comparing TUI with web browsers for good reason. I don’t see any reason to add game engines to that debate. I have never seen a business client move any application from a TUI to a Unity based UI. I’ve never even heard of anyone consi

This is basically what I do. Have never needed to clean out a dishwasher filter and it’s never had a foul smell from food bits. I have a garbage disposal to use for that, or prefer to toss larger waste pieces in the trash directly. Also pla

This just leaves me wondering if I’m the only one manually wiping off the dishes before they go in the washer? I’ve never had a dirty dish issue and pods work just fine, the powder works just fine, etc. pods are just a little more convenien

You’ve switched contexts completely with your strawman. Meaning, you’ve pivot Brenda in finance to some technical/software engineer task. You’ve pointed the conversation specifically at a use case that AI is good at, writing code and s

Isn't this the same thing they did with the internet? They skipped the wired revolution and just implemented it when mobile phone networks made if more feasible. If you look at it only in the present, it seems revolutionary, their mobi

I was just giving some examples, it being theoretically possible in SPA isn't really helpful given that nobody will implement it that way. You're basically living in theory. I've literally done the before and after on this a

I'd agree. Programming is a solid use case for AI. Programming is a part of my job, and hobby too, and that's the main place where I've seen some value with it. It still is not living up to the hype but for simple things, lik

Maybe in some cases. But largely, no, it really is not comparable. These TUI interfaces literally had 0 latency for any action. You could paste in text (from clipboard), with \t characters, and it would advance the input focus and could fil

I was making this argument in early 2000s, how the "upgrade" would kill efficiency - and it largely did for data entry. I did this swap in medical industry and finance industry and it landed on deaf ears all the time in the name o

Also an acceptable solution. This is usually where the next step is have a BI type person just create a report for finance. Many reasons but what will end up is different people are filtering/retrieving the data differently causing inc

That’s definitely the hype. But I don’t know if I agree. I’m essentially a Brenda in my corporate finance job and so far have struggled to find any useful scenarios to use AI for. I thought once this can build me a Gantt chart because that’

I work in corporate finance and these issues are certainly present. However, they are almost always known and determined low priority to have a better process built. Finance processes are nearly always a non priority as a pure cost center&#

It’s not even greater trust. It’s just passive trust. The thing is, Brenda is her own QA department. Every good Brenda is precisely good because she checks her own work before shipping it. AI does not do this. It doesn’t even fully understa

Hrm. You probably know better than me, but I always assumed that since my cooling cost in Summer is 5x the cost of my heating cost in winter (with similar differentials, eg. heat+30 degrees, cool-30 degrees) that it was a less efficient pro

Even if insulated, isn’t this setup always heating the home? The insulation slows down the heat transfer but if I’m following correctly it’s basically running the heat element anytime the sun is up. I think this would be counterproductive i

That's all happening too, but it's honestly a different topic altogether. We have the ability to vote early. Whether you trust it or politicians are trying to undermine your trust in it, etc.... whole other can of worms

How is that an acceptable response? Honestly. You’re in the hospital, in pain, likely having a minor surgery, and having someone cast your vote for you is going to be on your mind too? Do you have your voting card in your pocket just in cas
