    it shows an example of how their AI cannot perform a basic task, as simple as exiting a program.

    Gemini has done absolutely nothing for me. I can't even shut off the navigation feature on my phone using only hands free, when I get close to my destination. I have to take my eye…

    I think it would be "fly vfr" but the main issue there is the wind direction, not the altimeter setting. In daytime you can read the wind sock while airborne but not possible at ni…

    There's also the out-of-cockpit pressure from both the patient needing medical transport, and the employer who may retaliate against a pilot who refuses to fly. Apparently most of …

    The automated weather service was also out. This made it difficult or impossible to use the ILS because they can't set the local altimeter. This was a swiss cheese chain of events.…

    It's also a way to retain employees. If you are an expert ocaml writer, you aren't a drop in replacement at the competition. So while I'd love to work there, a lot of the knowledge…

    Maybe I missed it, but the algorithm should also redistribute empty elevators that stop too closely to each other.

    100% agree. AI isn't hacking, it's a completely different crowd. So much front page space is wasted talking about the latest version, some funding controversy, or these useless add…

    It was from a famous quote supposedly from bill gates in the early days of computing: "640K (RAM) ought to be enough for anybody". Apparently it was taken out of context or misattr…

    If you're only signalling meanwhile paying taxes, you are actively supporting it. Same with the genocide in Gaza.
