I am actually kinda surprised at that one. It seems like it would be fairly easy to automate that one, not even sure you need AI.

It is just scheduling and some image processing/lidar/sonar/etc to make sure crafts are clear of, properly positioned in the lock before raising or lowering.

I don't really know, I am not lock operator and I am not belittling what they do but it seems to me it should be simpler automation problem than trying to do say, Self Driving for a car.

SE did not really simplify much. It was just Windows but they intentionally crippled / broke some stuff.

Much of the bloat, none of the value; does not a product make. Meanwhile by '21 Microsoft was all on o365 as the future anyway. If that is vision what is needed is well ChromeOS essentially a web browser with a bundled HAL.

This is the same problem with that version of Win2k8 server where you could chose not to install the desktop experience...Reality is that did not mean much more than setting the shell=cmd[.]exe in the registry in actual practice. Windows just isn't modularized and does not lend it self to stripping down. You need "a lot' of hardware/storage just to get a basic UI up.

The common Linux stack is much easier to cherry pick just what is essential to run chrome and little but have it all still work right. That is where the heterogeneity of the Linux world is a strength. Various system components and user-land software a like does not get to make so many assumptions about what else will and won't be there.

I remember that; there was a ton of hype around Google's internal search thing. I never saw it do anything better than basic full text search already present in SQL/Sharepoint/Exchange

The problem is software or hardware it is 'how' do you do it in a useful way. Page range for all the fancy academic writing about it boils down to don't actually do it, let humans do it, and pick up on the fact the content is interesting by how much linking to it there is/was.

One kind stupid but maybe not stupid approach I could see Reddit taking is actually

1) train an AI model on all their content and refine or retrain it pretty frequently with their new content.
2) Have users write a query and generate a completion using the model - but -
3) Rather than send the completion to the user, use existing similarity algorithms to locate actual posts / threads with human content that shares the most in common with the generated response
4) send the user the links.

Obviously this is over simplistic and would need some refinement and experimentation like if you don't find many posts that clear some similarity threshold, its a good indicator the generated response was trash, and then what ask the user for a different query question? Not sure..

But I think there could be some value here rather then serving up often garbage AI summaries that get important details wrong, generate the summary and use that to the locate the best original resources or discussion that provide the most coverage of the topic or question.

You are correct. That's precisely how MWI is thought to work.

The premise of the argument is that, to conserve superposition information, you would necessarily need to prove that it would be grouped with information QM requires to be conserved, when viewed in a space that permitted it to be conserved. If it isn't, then there's no mechanism to preserve it, so no MWI.

Not strictly correct. You would be correct for all consequences over any statistically significant timeframe, but (a) I've purposefully included things that aren't actually outcomes, and (b) over extremely short timeframes (femtoseconds and attoseconds), differences would emerge very briefly, because different mechanisms take different routes.

Remember, the maths only concerns itself with outcomes, not the path taken, so identical maths will be inevitable for non-identical paths.
