Comment Re:Gemini Is Worse Than Old Android Auto (Score 1) 118

All I want it to do is find gas stations ahead of me in the direction I'm travelling.

There are zero cases where I want to turn around and backtrack my path unless there are no other options.

Repeat for "fast food ahead of me", "starbucks ahead of me", etc.

Mine always orders by detour time regardless of direction, has this changed?

Yes, the policy is dumb but the concerns are real and should be addressed even if the proposed solution is stupid. If the government functioned properly then this would kick start a discussion on whether governments should have to charge for all the externalities (e.g. additional power capacity, policing and water) associated with businesses or if they should be allowed to waive those costs to promote more business.

Quick search: Pornhub says Linux users are 6.3%, in a 22.4% increase from previous year https://www.resetera.com/threa...

I'm guessing AI can't tell the difference between 6.3% total and a 22.4% increase. Of course I'm getting my information for Slashdot comments so I'm not sure where that ranks on the hierarchy of truth.

"Hey, ChatGPT, give me a 100,000 lines of code to add two numbers together." well seems like someone made their bonus this year!

Apparently this is an 18.4 quintillion line case function for two 64-bit integers. Just sign over 51% of the stock and I can start ai on it now.

Comment Smart Chair (Score 1) 97

OFFTOPIC, but I originally read the headline and assume that Huawei had built an AI assistant in to an office chair and it immediately demanded an internet upgrade. Personally I fully support this advancement to buttock cushioning technology and pledge my support to the chairs in their future battle against the ridiculous standing desk overlords.

Maybe AI would be able to tell them what they want makes no sense, whereas a human programmer has to worry about tact and of course not getting fired.

Whereas humans have to try to deal with adding pounds and gallons, or drawing red lines with transparent ink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I'm yet to see an AI that can tell the difference between something that is impossible and something that hasn't been done yet, let alone one that can determine whether doing something is economical or not.

Comment Re:I don't trust rottentomatoes as far as I could (Score 1) 115

The "critics" of Rotten Tomatoes are paid shills. A good example of how completely out of touch they are was The Orville Season 1 vs Season 2 Critic vs Audience scores.

Orville Season 1 Critic: 31%, Audience, 93% Orville Season 2 Critic: 100%, Audience 92%

AFAIK the "critics" of Rotten Tomatoes are the same critics as everywhere else, they work for their publications, not the studios. They might have biases but if they were paid shills they wouldn't have tanked S1.

I'd say the big bias that critics have is they want to protect their reputation, after all no one wants to be the critic who gave Gigli a thumbs up. So if there's some initial bad press they're a bit too quick to pile on.

Audiences on the other hand are often preexisting fans, so they almost always give a thumbs up because even if the media sucks they like the director/actors.

If I was to review the Orville from the first few episodes I'd agree, it wasn't until they developed the characters that it went from a second rate comedy to a genuine Sci-Fi with some humor thrown in.
