Comment Re:What is this TV of which you speak? (Score 1) 125

The only thing I watch on broadcast TV is Star Trek TOS while I'm eating dinner. Oh, and the Twilight Zone marathon they have every Fourth of July. I may have watched something else when I was sick once, like maybe Green Acres or Gomer Pyle, but I don't remember. I was feverish.

Do you want your doctor to take extra time considering your illness, or make an instant snap decision? Would you prefer to accept an AI's diagnosis or would you rather have a human do it?

I would like my doctor to spend as much time as needed considering my illness, and to use all the tools at his disposal when doing so -- including AI, if appropriate.

From TFS:

"This code triggered fake, alarming error messages to convince developers that DR DOS was unstable..."

Presumably this spooked developers who were looking at the code before it officially shipped. Once a developer is spooked, can he really be unspooked?

Comment Re:New Android build? (Score 2) 27

I recently bought a new Android phone after shattering the screen on my otherwise perfectly good five-year-old Android. Of course the UI had been totally screwed up, mostly differences for the sake of difference but some things were manifestly worse.

For example, I spent the longest time looking for an "auto-rotate" setting, which has always been a toggle switch labelled "auto-rotate." Eventually I resorted to using the search function in the settings, and still didn't find it. And then I had to resort to a web search (ridiculous for such a simple thing).

The setting was labelled "portrait" which is why it never registered with me, since I was looking for "auto-rotate." I know what "portrait" means but it never occurred to me that it would have anything to do with "auto-rotate." Press it to turn off portrait mode, and THEN it says "auto-rotate." Fucking hell. I would happily murder the person responsible for this.
