Comment AI software that i am looking for (Score 1) 63

Given many views inside a house, such as all the frames of a walk around video, i want software that can build a set of images of each wall, floor, and ceiling, in that house. Then i want software that can produce new views inside, at new designated angles that were not previously shot. If the input is fully complete, then the output should be, as well. most of the AI would be in scanning the input image frames to "understand" how each frame is shot. I have done this before, manually, a couple times, and merged the images. I think AI should be able to do this, to the extent the input covers.

Comment Re:50/50 (Score 1) 191

Due to a disability, I can only type with my right hand. It definitely slows my typing. But, I have learned to work around this. For example, I use "sticky keys" which lets me type Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and release those keys. so, Ctrl+C is typed by pressing Ctrl then releasing it, then pressing C then releasing it. The regular way also works while "sticky keys" is enabled.

Comment Re:This wasn't a UBI (Score 1) 255

I think the point of the "study" is that those who get UBI continue employed work, refuting a common claim that much of the population would quit working.

Does it really matter?

To the extent people do quit working, there is more work to do, allowing those who want more luxuries to get another job and earn extra money for that.

I have doubts about this study. I believe it does not study the reality of an economy with a UBI (emphasis on "universal" ... everyone gets it). things could be very different in such an economy. maybe they then need to study how it effects 122 people not getting a UBI.

Comment Caller ID (Score 1) 27

Is this based on the caller ID number that comes with the call? Caller ID can be forged. Or is Apple sending some other out-of-band info, or delivering the call via internet (using up your carrier's allocation to your account)? First, we need a law (not just an FCC regulation) that requires carriers to verify that caller ID coming in from every customer is a number that would be routed out that trunk (e.g one of their numbers), and let that operate a while (a year or two) so we have correct caller ID (with severe penalties for carriers that fail) for a while.
