Not being able to fully trust the results from the Ai Pin's Ai Mic and Vision features (the latter is still in beta) is just one problem with this wearable computer.
That's the problem with ALL gen-AI!! They aren't knowledge databases. They are pattern generators. When will people get this through their skulls?
Are we still considered "greedy" by both straight and gay people?
I can relate. I can emphasize with someone who's learned every nuance of a language, and after 30-40 years suddenly these kids come in with their strange hieroglyphics slowly replacing everything you've worked on.
It's also a security risk. Wasn't there just a recently discovered backdoor in some widely used library that was put there by someone who fooled a burned out/depressed maintainer?
it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.
I'm an electronic security installer. You know how many times I've done stuff like install a complete 40+ camera CCTV system at a new store under construction only to be back at the same store a year later ripping it all out when it goes out of business? I know what that feels like.
Worst is when you come around for a regular store equipment refresh and recognize something you installed at that store ten years ago and start feeling real old...
Good luck wherever life takes you now.
There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...
Normal, mainstream software expected users to run DOS commands and edit autoexec.bat/config.sys files, and installing new hardware often involved configuring motherboard DIP switches and trying to figure out what "IRQ" and "DMA" means. There is no equivalent to that today. Plug it in, turn it on, and you're done. 9 times out of 10 you don't even need to install a driver, your OS already has it. Where does the door to learning and discovery present itself? With plug and play systems and walled garden app stores, everywhere a user could possibly come across some more advanced concepts has been muted and decorated over with pretty conveniences. Computers are toasters now.
Everything is just silicon oxide gates being saturated and drained and turned on and off in various patterns very rapidly in a way that means something to us. That Fortran/C/C++/Assembly depends on that tiny two-MOSFET AND gate in the ALU to do the AND correctly every time.
Programming languages at the basic level are just an automated way of putting numbers into a calculator, processing them, and getting another number/status/flag back and doing something else with it based on the result.
We got a phony over 'ere.
😭 You're right even my avatar is AI generated 'cause my broke ass can't afford commissions and I can't draw anything worth a shit.
These are the kind of drivers who automatically just lay on the horn and plow right on through instead of doing any sort of defensive maneuver.
