If a watch that notices hypertension is not news for nerds, then what is?

If earphones that offer live translation, much like the Babelfish in that classic fun sf novel, is not news for nerds, then what is?

Most people will now prefer to watch the original Star Wars trilogy in the updated edition with improved SFX etc. Let's see if using AI on these HK classics will yield a similar benefit before denouncing it.

In the 1990s we had made a multimedia training cd-rom; and if you typed a certain word at the quit/cance confirmation popup, it also showed a photo of our team. I don't think that anyone ever noticed it.

I needed to do a few presentations on technical topics the last few months.
The last time I thought, let's see if Chatgpt has some extra suggestions on the topic. I gave it the text of my presentation. It answered, "your presentation is already reasonably well structured, and I will make the text flow a bit better" - being not native English I appreciated the edits; and then it suggested some extra slides as I had asked. I checked with chatgpt and using google on these; and found them niche yet quite well spotted, even if not always all that important for my exact goals. I did use some of that material.
On the previous topic, I had more urgent things to do and was not so interested in making that presentation, it was just a job, so I asked a detailed question, it gave me the text of a presentation, and I kept refining my query over a few more iterations. In the end it came with a pretty ok presentation, with some errors present. I went through every slide, sometimes correcting here and there, sometimes dropping a slide or adding one. I had a reasonable presentation in 2h that would have taken me a good day.
Based on this experience I find it a great productivity enhancer, IF you read its output critically and accept that you will need to do some error correction.

Of related interest, I once read that HPV can cause throat cancer as well - transmitted via oral sex.

>> It sounds like they need more universities.

They are apparently working on that.
check the table

And google AI summarised (though I couldn't quickly check if fully correct): "China adds around 100 to 200 new universities each year, primarily focusing on expanding capacity and improving the quality of higher education. The total number of higher education institutions in China has seen significant growth in recent decades, reaching 3,074 in 2023. "
Top universities are expanding enrolment:

In 2021 in Guangdong (Shenzhen is that province), they were opening 11 more universities. But might have been difficult to fill in teacher positions on time.

Steve Jobs made a lot of good future-oriented decision for the first Mac. But he didn't build in networking from the start, which eh later acknowledged was an oversight.
Similarly, Hypercard was a fascinating single user experience for hyperlinked content. I did some early hobby programming on it and was impressed how you could make something cool with it. But imagine if it would have offered seamless connection to other hypercard stacks on remote computers from the beginning, it could have changed the way we see the internet.
Atkinson was indeed a genius... MacPaint, Quickdraw routines, Hypercard. Impressive!

You mean like saying something pro-Palestina in USA now?

I see the British pound symbol.

if you buy a top digital camera and leave it in jpg then you are not getting the best out of it. Pro photographers and ambitious amateurs shoot raw because it captures all details and because of the great flexibility it gives in post production. I had alas dropped my GRIIIx but before that, it was amazing how it could capture single hairs in RAW mode.

Because otherwise you would be screwed if you lose your phone. it is also used when you setup a new phone and download all your settings from iCloud.

the AirPods have become mega successful, you missed that.

I don't see an audio jack, unfortunately. But conceivably you can get it with a special hdmi cable.

This reminds me of getting a C64 as a teenager, truly the start of a slippery slope. Tempted to get one for my kids.
