Replying late, but show me where you can get a 5g modem, that is powered by POE, allows you to connect via a remote switch and automatically sets it as a failover wan to the router.
I think my favorite was age estimate, which it did get fairly close based on generational phrases, references used and language artifacts. I was genuinely impressed.
Why/how is this faster than a depth first search? Isn't depth first better for shell pipelines since you want to start streaming results as soon as you find them, and you may have to go down several layers into a nested structure before you start finding any?
This doesn't change the UI as such, but it auto-mutes ads, and auto-skips once the skip option is available. It's a bit of a funny thing to setup, but it works great once setup.
"I block all online ads" is a less useful title than "How I block all online ads", and pointing out when the title mangler has made the title worse serves as a request to moderators to fix it if they agree. Which they did here, I believe for a net win.
My fridge happily reads inputs without consciousness, has goals and takes decisions without "thinking", and consistently takes action to achieve those goals. (And it's not even a smart fridge! It's the one with a copper coil or whatever.)
I guess the cybernetic language might be less triggering here (talking about systems and measurements and control) but it's basically the same underlying principles. One is just "human flavored" and I therefore more prone to invite unhelpful lines of thinking?
Except that the "fridge" in this case is specifically and explicitly designed to emulate human behavior so... you would indeed expect to find structures corresponding to the patterns it's been designed to simulate.
Wondering if it's internalized any other human-like tendencies — having been explicitly trained to simulate the mechanisms that produced all human text — doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.
Absolutely, expectations and tools given by management are a real problem.
If management fires you because they are wrong about how good AI is, and you're right - at the end of the day, you're fired and the manager is in lalaland.
People need to actually push the correct calibration of what these tools should be trusted to do, while also trying to work with what they have.
> which seems awful penny-wise pound foolish of them.
On one of the podcasts that I listen to, which has given me many great recommends, one of the hosts has given up watching content until it hits three or four seasons because of exactly this.
Bonkers fraud checks that flagged my ISP charges every month for several months in a row. And some other stuff I don't remember, but I'll continue to hold the grudge anyway because there's 9 other top 10 national banks.
I noticed my local wal mart doing this, not on every product, but more than one. I had hoped it was an honest mistake until it happened on my next visit. I told an associate about it, left my groceries, and I haven't been back. It's wild to think that a few decades ago they accepted returns of any product based on trust, no questions asked, regardless of whether you had a receipt.
Ignorance beyond a point is effectively malice and should be punished accordingly. All the current results were foretold by people screeching warnings about them 50+yr ago.

Nobody's budget ever got bigger or headcount grew or government contract got more lucrative because people got off welfare.

The Git Sync or PuppyGit apps are a good way to keep markdown files in sync between devices. I use git for my Obsidian notes.
It's better than file sync because you have diff and merge in case you accidentally edit the same file on 2 devices and get a conflict. Plus you have full history of everything.
If you do need file sync I really like the FolderSync app on my phone, it's reliable and connects using a ton of protocols.
I actually wonder if the whole anti-ad movement is moving in the wrong direction. And I’m right there with the author running a pi-hole, but I wonder if it would be better to have an extension that will click all of the ads in a way that is invisible to the user. Make all those companies burn thru their budgets for no gain.
But because these stores exist, they lead to grocery stores no longer existing, because they eat the majority of the profit from grocery stores. This forces people to shop at the dollar stores because it's the only thing nearby. The dollar store model increases prices, reduces consumer choice, and makes us less healthy.
