If you find out what happened, let me know, because I think it's happening to me too.

I had a professor in college that said when an AI problem is solved, it is no longer AI.

Computers do all sorts of things today that 30 years ago were the stuff of science fiction. Back then many of those things were considered to be in the realm of AI. Now they're just tools we use without thinking about them.

I'm sitting here using gesture typing on my phone to enter these words. The computer is analyzing my motions and predicting what words I want to type based on a statistical likelihood of what comes next from the group of possible words that my gesture could be. This would have been the realm of AI once, but now it's just the keyboard app on my phone.

The solution here, IMO, isn't to increase the minimum wage (that'll end up reducing jobs)

Research has found that increasing minimum wage does not reduce jobs.

Or you could launch him into the sun and burn him up like the trash he is but that would be more expensive

Make him pay for it

Some of the longer lines in Disney World have bathrooms along the line.

I think of it this way:

Imagine Hitler coming to power in Germany and preparing to conquer the world, only instead of starting with a crippled country struggling to survive, he's got the largest military in the world with as much military spending as the next nine countries combined.

Except, the scum who are doing this will still do it because they won't pay the cost.

Many, many years ago, the hospital where I work had a medical transcription company to transcribe dictated radiology results.

At the time, users would access the server via DEC terminals or a terminal application on their computer.

One radiologist set up a script in the terminal application to sign off all his reports with one click. Another radiologist liked it so the first let the second copy it.

Later, the second radiologist opened a ticket with IT because all his reports were being signed by the first radiologist. Yeah, because he didn't update the script to change the username and password being used to sign the reports.

That's an amusing anecdote, but the terror comes from the fact that NEITHER RADIOLOGIST WAS READING THEIR REPORTS. BEFORE SIGNING THEM.

The reason they are supposed to sign the report is to confirm that they reviewed the work of the transcriptionist and verified that the report was correct.

No matter what the tool is, doctors will assume the results are correct and sign off on them without checking.

The rally wasn't for NY.

It feels like he's given up on winning the election and is hoping to win the civil war he wants to start.

Then the cops should be arrested.

In my state, if someone is interfering with a poll worker, the police are required to arrest them when called on to do so. If the police don't, then they are subject to arrest themselves.

It's not a stupid law. It exists to protect voters from intimidation.

If the law makes no provision for enforcement, then that is certainly stupid.

As I understand it, in my state not only is it illegal to interfere with a poll worker, it's also illegal for the police to not make an arrest when the poll worker demands it under the law.
