Comment automation saves costs (Score 1) 63

Without a union, those savings do not go to the workers.
If fewer employee-hours are required then fewer people will be hired and they will be paid less.

It's been this way for over a hundred years.
There is no cost savings by using AI but there will be eventually.
And when that happens the owners will not shower the workers with easy jobs and fat paychecks.

Comment Only voyeurs want these. That includes the seller (Score 1) 72

I have no fscking use for spyglasses or AI nonsense.

But if I could purchase a pair of glasses that function as a monitor of arbitrary size...and has the same or better resolution than my current monitor? In a heartbeat. No AI, no camera, no spyglass BS. Just shine a laser (or 3) in my eye and paint a monitor on my retina.
But nobody seems to be interested in making those.

Why?
Because the user functionality is bait.
The purpose of the glasses is surveillance for the benefit of the people selling them to you.

You can certainly use them for consensual POV vids, porn or otherwise.
If that's your thing then by all means have at it.
Just don't think for a minute you're the only one seeing the video.

..."Okay. We've got a bipolar topic here I see"
No. There is no bi-polarity. And the people booing you are not mentally ill.
The students hate that you think it's the greatest new thing.
And they love the time it did not exist.

To use a much overused term where it's actually appropriate:
When you try to convince people their view is invalid and they are mentally ill (bipolar), you are not merely disagreeing with them; you are gaslighting them.

Comment We kept our CAD drawings on them...for a while. (Score 2) 180

At a large US auto manufacturer our crew were responsible for commissioning controls systems and maintaining the drawings related thereto.
The HDDs on the CAD machines were simply NOT big enough to contain all the drawings so we had stacks of ZIP disks and both mobile (SCSI by parallel port) and internal (SCSI) readers for them.
One of the more experienced guys bought a CD burner (that was a $600.00 purchase at the time) and would make weekly backups for us. Blank CDs were $10.00 apiece at the time.
A couple of years into it we started hearing the "click of death". Thank you Butch; you saved our work!

It is that simple. Stop stuffing your face to exploding at every opportunity. I know society makes it hard, but don't shovel in the portions they sell you.

I quit opiates, it really is as simple as stopping. The hard part comes before that: Deciding you're really done with the behavior.

BS
You can quit dope completely; I did almost 40 years ago.
You can't quit food completely.
Losing weight and keeping it off is a hell of a lot harder than getting clean and sober.
