Your post is a prime example of the classic engineering approach of efficiently solutioning the immediate technical problem without solving the actual root cause because it's too complex or messy. I mean, CPAP machines for drug addicts

I agree with a lot of this - MFE are much harder to pull off than the backend services, and I have yet to see a successful solution based on how they are often presented at the bleeding edge. We have had moderate success with pretty rudimen

It may feel very similar but you need to be very careful with how you define words like "understand". There's (historically) no inference or extension with the machine. For humans "understanding" is on the path of &

I don't believe these are typical bank ATMs but specific to MGM that manage all the casino games (ex: pay-outs, loyalty, etc) as well, so would be tied into any MGM systems.
