You log into your Chromebook wirh your .edu account and it disables search for anyone in the org.

Somebody pointed out here last time that if you append &utm=15 or something to the URL it goes back to the old Search.

So it sounds like they're making a huge lie of omission.

What's sad is they could use an LLM to teach Socratically with any search terms but they want so badly to suppress critical thinking and shove "alignment" down kids' throats that they are being belligerent.

The dont-be-evil era company would be making the best teaching Search.

It's a huge market void for someone with more time than I have right now.

What's the best search for error logs these days?

DDG is almost useless.

Google parses and looks up hex codes for you with a cursory explanation.

Its conclusions are often wrong but good enough to point me at the right spec to figure out a bluetooth proxy problem recently.

AI does not need to think or be able to think.
It only needs to find patterns faster than humans can.

Provide the pattern and potential problems and suggestions, if programmed for that.

AI is a broad spectrum, here we are talking about data analysis, not about LLMs, as far as I can tell.

Two employees having a sexual affair is not sexual harassment.

Older statistics implied that 40% of marriages (in Germany) follow from the couple meeting at their workplace.

I do not think that is testosterone, but anabolics.

I am 59, and my sex drive is the same as with 16.

But, I guess: no one cares, haha.

As the summary states, this thing makes routing recommendations that get passed along to the decision-making humans, who may or may not follow the recommendation. If the AI makes a mistake and sends planes the wrong way or into each other's paths, the humans are supposed to notice. That's fine... until it's the human part of the system fails. If the AI keeps doing a good job, humans might no longer bother checking its output too closely, or worse: just put it in charge.

Similar problem with AI driven facial recognition. AI is great for finding a couple of needles in the haystack, after which a human can figure out which needle is the right one. But after a while, the humans just go with the first needle they are handed.

I bought a RingConn for an ailing person I know who wanted to track metrics and it's pretty good considering it's cheaper and has no subscription.

Fairly solid build.

Wondering the same.

Probably because "recycling ships" is so "unprofitable" that the ships get sent to Africa or Indonesia and cut into pieces by "slave workers".

Retarded economy we are living in ... it is called: capitalism.

How can it be cheaper to literally sink a ship than recycling thousands of tons of steel and iron?

I think they're talking about rack-sized UPS and up, not desktop size.

The bjg ones I've used have an LCD panel on the front with status, including current time.

Anyway, I avoid ever setting my cron jobs to a 0 or 5 for this basic reason. */15 style is the unavoidable exception.

The fact that they make sure to include that repeatedly tells me that the real reason is they have their own AI agent that they want you to use, possibly for an extra fee, definitely trained to not bypass all the dark patterns they use to upsell you shit.

Oh, and there'll be absolutely no problem with giving THAT one all your personal and financial data, because trust us bro, we're the airline, we're famous for being totally not sleazy...

you can't up-sell a bot.

I do recall ages ago (the 90s) when "agents" were the big thing coming soon (little would we know it would take 30 years of moore's law generations to finally make this possible).

This idea that you could be resting on the beach with your laptop/tablet (again, they knew one was coming, just not when or by whom) and just talk with your 'agent' about your upcoming schedule and have it book or adjust the flights and hotels for you and automatically sync calendars with the people you're meeting with, just by talking to it.

Now that it is technologically possible...a lot of users don't trust the corporations that are running them, and a lot of the businesses (big and small) are not liking that the agent bots don't view advertisements and promotions, and so there's no up-sell and no vendor lock-in.

And how relevant is that?

Spain got deforested by the Romans, 2000 years ago.

And? How is that relevant for todays CO2 problems?

In most societies kids are not driven to school.

And still if they were: it is up to the parents/drivers to use an EV or not.

Income per capita in USD is completely irrelevant when you live in a completely different economy.

Free health care is a point.

How many beers, pizza, bread, noodles or eggs you can buy per month is relevant.

How much of your income you spent (in percent) for your apartment, is relevant.

How much a car costs, how much you pay for your kids schools is relevant: all in percentages of your income.

How much I earn a day, and how much I pay for my living from that is relevant.

Basically it comes down to:
How much is housing
How much is clothing
How much is food
How much is education
How much is health care
How much is pension

And: how much is left at the end of the month, to save to make holiday next year.

Chinese have no problem paying all that and having enough to have a nice holiday trip with the whole family every year.
