TBD on if the calculator can properly review and participate in the feedback loop with itself.

They also don't learn, so they never get less unpredictable. You can't give the senior robot the production keys and expect it won't delete prod.

It's in the hype train's interest to keep the actual value unknowable. If you quantify what you're paying for then the FOMO is greatly reduced.

Explain how an AI bust would tank the economy? They don't employ enough to feel the hit from that.

They're not even IPOed so how do they tank the market? GPU and ram prices will go down but that will actually help most tech companies.

I don't think the rest of the economy is inflated on the fantasy gains of AI.

We could actually go back to feeling like we can invest in products and content without FOMO.

You will also see plenty of cases where a screenshot captures incoherent frames.

Squash and stretch is a whole art style that relies on unrealistic frames.

Unemployment is based on the amount looking. I gotta say, how many philosophy students do you know actively looking for jobs? Now ask yourself why you think it's zero.

> Weirdly everyone focuses on Apple

Lifetime Xboxes sold: ~200 Million

Lifetime iPhones sold: 3 Billion

Why is it weird?

How often are you going into new projects and spending up to an hour on set up? I'm really just asking to get a sense of what "Generally" means here.

It's kind of funny that the entire purpose of a browser is to protect the user machine from arbitrary code on the internet and also it's one of the main attack vectors on a console.

What is the difference, in your mind, between mapping data and what was shared?

Yes. Even dealing with "what does it look like in rain? What does it look like in snow?" is hard. Hell... "What does it look like at night" is hard. Hell.... what does it look like at noon vs sundown (no shadow vs long shadows) is hard.

Have you ever seen a commercial use of anything like this? That should give you a hint about how reliable these systems get.

"We shouldn't have maps because you can use them in war." seems like a wrong way to look at this problem.

Part of the reason software ate the world is standardized tooling. Going back to everyone having completely bespoke ways of doing things would be a nightmare.

It's still a cut in purchasing power even if you aren't hurting.

But if you don't mind, I'll take 4.2% from your pay.

Looks like they're adding native support for Linux containers into WSL and also pushing a .NET API to seamlessly kick off and clean up containers from an app.

Neat stuff.

It's more about unconscious bias. The slick smoke and mirror will simply show better.
