Yep. Its one of those “um actually” things that at surface can make you seem annoying, but unfortunately the nuance is really important.

In order to hallucinate it’d need to be capable of proper thought first.

In the same way people ask of their software “why doesn’t it just work?!” Well… It actually DOES work. Its doing exactly as it’s been programmed to do.

Whether the issue is because the dev didnt think of an angle you use it on, the QA didnt test it enough, or you yourself have a weird expectation, etc, it is doing exactly what it is only capable of doing in the situation that you see as “it isnt working right”.

Its then on you, the human, to recognize that and proceed.

This dissonance even happens from human to human conversation. “Oh i thought you meant this.”

If you go to an agriculturist and start asking them about the culture of another country, they’d probably stop you to point out the issue. They could also just start giving you agriculture info and leave you confused. The nuance is important and what lets our biological brain computer figure it out where the metal brain needs to be specifically told to make sure they meant land agriculture.

Damn that’s wild. As a side note, they make some nice paints that can help seal the solar panel from anything harming it like uv rays.

Verymuchso indeed. Theres cameras on the BACK of our traffic lights at every corner in town too that arent on this list.

But it helps navigating backroads/country and im not in a huge city so that’s good enough.

I do wave at the residential houses as i dodge a camera at a corner street.

So if theres 40k on this list for the US and apl this is missing, it’s at least double that number for sure.

If you have to drive, it’s nice to know where the cameras are at.

Obviously it doesnt help if youre going anywhere near a town center or highway or etc, but i can get groceries from a local place without passing any if i path it right which is nice to know.

Ill do you one extra even. One of our customers, a lawfirm, has asked we remove AI from their environment over privacy concerns. We, as their IT, are still trying to push and sell licenses to our other customers and even use it ourselves.

All against the wishes of the actual workers themselves in my company. The execs and sales team is pushing it so hard and ignoring that a literal law firm is super against it.

Surely this will turn out well. I let that customer know that we’re still pushing AI, and management is very pro AI still. It might be a good idea to look for a different IT provider if that goes against your values.

All current “working and marketable” linux phones are built on top of android currently for compatibility with that existing market, so it depends how detached from android you want to be. (To my knowledge. Id love to be proven wrong)

If completely, then no.

Better bet is an android OS that has everything ripped out of it and privacy hardened. Its the same thing the linux phone is doing but without the linux portion sitting on top.

Otherwise you can attempt to use a pure linux setup but it’s going to be rough unless youre already set on dropping creature comforts.

I think there’s an angle for people who wish they could take part in the good drawing too.

It’s like that kid in school that would trace a really good drawing and then change the color a bit and say they did it themselves, but for adults. ‘Aren’t you happy i made it better?’ Just equates to me as ‘i want attention for the art too’

The sad part of course being that instead of even having the guile to pick up a utensil and trace it themselves, they just copy paste it to a program and become a middle man for downloading and uploading an image.

Setting aside the ‘soul’ of the drawing or how it appears visually, it’s just sad to watch someone make a cheap facsimile of the thing you made at the cost of a few mouse clicks and making the climate a tiny bit worse.

All that just for ‘siel’

That probably IS the “secret” software. Lol Plug a phone into your car? Insurance company gets the info one way or another.

Yep. More accurate reading by it “feeling” your finger instead of “seeing” your finger.

Nominal upgrade but an upgrade none the less.

A lot more benefit comes from how fast the software can detect you trying to unlock your phone, waking the phone, enabling the thumbprint reader (sonic vs light), then decoding the print and finally waking to your home screen.

I love the feature that lets me open the phone to home screen from the phone being asleep. Just put your thumb on a black screen in the right spot and boom, already at the home screen.

I think that last paragraph precisely summarizes the flaw in 90% of the discourse about this. People are trying to solve a problem that shouldn’t exist to need to be solved.

If you set your goal to scale the industry wayyyy back, all of a sudden it becomes sustainable again. Just like it was 10 years ago. Society based on endless growth is unsustainable and all that yeah?

What was the anaology? We’re too busy trying to figure out the best position to have sex with our own mothers instead of trying to have less sex with our own mothers?
