There are quite a few great cases for AI, but all of them need mountains of clean data. Thats always been the challenge and very few are working to solving it. The most successful ones are those that are creating their own data by building out their own expensive sensor networks in controlled spaces. That doesn’t really work for the general AI that everyone wants to do the mundane tasks in their general work tasks or at home.

I guess Biden and Dems should get to work earning those votes then, right?

Well, you’re busy making sure Trump gets his, I suppose. You must be so proud.

How is this a betrayal to her judge husband?

The purpose of the courts is to interpret the laws on the books as written. The purpose of the legislature is to add, remove, or change laws on the books. Each did their job and I see no conflict between the judge husband and the legislator wife.

People are freaking out about the database thing but check out the zinger on the last 3 pages of the 23 page bill.

It looks like this law would allow a woman to accuse any man of being the father of her unborn child, force immediate child support payments while she’s pregnant, and the accused man would not be able to question or confirm he is the father with a paternity test.

‘‘(35) provide that the State will establish and13 enforce child support obligations of the biological fa-14 ther of an unborn child (and subsequent to the birth15 of the child) to the mother of such child provided16 that—"

(skipping unrelated sections A-D then comes section E)

“‘(E) any measure to establish the pater-9 nity of a child (born or unborn) shall not be re-10 quired without the consent of the mother; and”

I agree with you.

B. There are no protections for this data. Who gets access to it?

The only protection the requires is that there is a “privacy policy”. Here’s the actual text of the bill:

on page 3

“‘(4) A mechanism for users to take an assess-8 ment through the website and provide consent to use9 the user’s contact information, which the Secretary10 may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to11 follow up with users on additional resources that12 would be helpful for the users to review.”

and page 13

“have a privacy policy and procedures13 in place to ensure that—14 (i) the name, address, telephone num-15 ber, or any other information that might16 identify any woman seeking services sup-17 ported through the grant is not made pub-18 lic or shared with any other entity without19 the written consent of the woman; and20 (ii) the grantee adheres to require-21 ments comparable to those applicable22 under the HIPAA privacy regulation (as23 defined in section 1180(b)(3) of the Social24 Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320d–9(b)(3)))”

Google Next this year was the same thing. AI everything everywhere. I get that AI is the “new hotness” but there’s still other tech and solutions needed and existing that needed some limelight too.

I’m getting old. Google keeps changing their touchless pay system and app. I got tired of switching after the third version of whatever Google is calling it now and gave up. Google pay, no Android pay, no Google wallet!

They released that original Airblade hand drying 18 years ago in 2006 way before the hair dryer.

11 years ago In 2013 they released the Airblade V which doesn’t do the vertical dip thing.

Dyson gets shit on frequently for being overpriced, but the audible analysis they do one some of their products is crazy complex. Some years ago I watched 30 minute video on the design they did for the hair dryer where they were designing minute angles in the fins of the air impeller, and using a PWM algorithm to measure backpressure in a feed back loop to spin up the fan where it wouldn’t create loud noise while also increasing the volume of air moved. They tuned the mechanisms specifically to shave off tiny peaks in oscilloscope readings.

One thing I remember is that they said they couldn’t entirely eliminate the specific annoying sound frequencies because it had to ramp, but what they did is ramp to right below the annoying sound frequency level, then hold, then burst above the annoying frequency band very quickly. So the operator of the unit doesn’t hear the annoying sound because the device shoots past it so fast.

I’ve never heard of any company be that picky and put so much effort into avoiding one negative experience of a product.

I’m not understanding your idea. Why would it be harder for the US to replace tech talent? We’re not restricted to just hiring US nationals. The green card queue is decades long. Ask any H1-B visa holder you know their ‘priority date’ for green card consideration. They’ll be able to tell you immediately.

…and since the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, also simulating nuclear warhead detonation for development.

“Never play chess with a pigeon.

The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over.

Then shits all over the board.

Then struts around like it won.”

If it isn’t obvious, Trump is the pigeon.

I bet he didn’t even throw a few bucks in his commissary account so that Pete could get a block of ramen.

Welp, Rush Is dead now. Dying was the coolest thing that man ever did. 🎉

Dying was his second coolest thing. His first coolest thing was becoming a drug addict after years of being critical to those with drug addition. He even said "drug abuse was a choice, not a disease. " He was alive long enough to live that hypocrisy and experience the ridicule for it.

There’s a lot to unpack here.

The Florida GOP earlier this week said Barron Trump, who is 18, would join three of the former president’s other children — Eric, Tiffany and Donald Trump Jr. — as delegates, with Eric Trump serving as the state’s delegation chair.

So the GOP just came out and announced it, perhaps without even asking Barron or Barron saying he wanted it.

“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” former first lady Melania Trump’s office said in a statement.

Then mom comes in and says “no” on his behalf. So we STILL haven’t heard from Barron what his wishes are.

I’d like to think mom went to Trump and said “If you push Barron to do this, I’ll testify at your trial…you know which one”.
