Comment Great job MS! Keeping storage media worms alive! (Score 1) 11

These things are as old as the first computers with floppies or other removable media. Without the determined efforts by Microsoft they would have died out by now. So big kudos to them for keeping that part of ancient computing history alive!

In other news, IT Security people have no problems at all finding jobs, while coders really struggle.

That handout isnÃ(TM)t coming stop asking for it

The boomers got the handout. I don't want anything they didn't get.

I don't expect to get it. I do expect to immediately discount any bullshit from the hypocrites who got it and think I shouldn't get it.

You didn't get it, and you're insisting nobody deserves it because you didn't get it, which is sad. You're sad.

Comment okay... where? (Score 1) 32

You should also know that Canonical is looking for feedback before the specs for Myna are finalized, especially from people who already rely on dictation or assistive tools on Linux.

OK, how do we provide this feedback? The article is chock-full of links, but not one for that. It gives strong "get fucked" energy.

Since it's not worth putting out the effort to figure out where to submit some comments they definitely won't give a fuck about anyway: In no way is it a "first class" anything when it's only for GNOME and only in a snap. Let us know when it's ready for prime time so we can test it out and decide if we care. There's a 0% chance I'm going to use GNOME or snap.

Is it extremely laughable?

Yes.

To test your hypothesis, I compiled a list of as many U.S. Muslim elected politicians as I could (see below).

So you moved the goalposts and declared victory? Good work, clown.

So it's not "extremely laughable" at all. And when I asked AI why your comment was modded up to 5...

I ran headlong into what we now call hallucinations in 1996 working on my Ph.D. on process control using neural networks. I decided it wasn't going work for real-word real-time control (and the committee agreed).

Probably not much of a surprise, but always worthwhile to verify.

I've been very amused by this whole AI rush.

As the saying goes, "It's human to err, but it takes a computer to really screw things up."

Indeed. I mean I did a few ChatGPT queries back when it came out and found its use a waste of time. I see the same level of incapability today in the AI summaries for Internet search and I am mostly ignoring these now. Occasionally I check and just find "still incapable". And while the paid models will surely do better, they will still not do well.

Enterprises need to wise up, these tools aren't being developed to do a good job but to make billionaires richer.

Obviously. Look at Musk's porn generator, for example, that does not mind undressing anybody underage, even when that is clearly illegal. Or at Googles AI summaries that may hallucinate stuff to the detriment of enterprises or people. This is a short-term money-grab and they do not mind if it all comes crashing down in a few years or tomorrow.
