Kinda funny - agentic flight booking was the poster use case for Semantic Web Services [1] 2001-2005. The whole thing collapsed because no one could agree on inputs/outputs (RDF/XML, ontologies). Now LLMs just wing it from plain text.
I ran XPS Developer Edition (Ubuntu) for 5+ years without any issues.
Using Framework for past year - every day I have to reboot because it freezes with 20+ Firefox tabs (Ubuntu 22.04, AMD). Tried all options (disable vGPU etc) but no luck.
The iOS Mail app has gotten so bad. It shows errors for no reason whatosover. The other day I typed a message and hit sent (and status showed all synced) but it was not sent and not even in draft.
What if my "AI Character" says things that are offensive or insensitive or considered rude by someone in some culture?
I can see this making headlines with a <Celeb/Politician> AIs offending someone...
Had the exact same experience. One of the car dealerships told me that I still have to get a 6 month "service" where they move around battery packs (why?). And secondly, I remembered how I hated talking to car salesmen.
Great initiative! There needs to be more effort towards streamlining these trials.
At TrialX [1], we also launched Covid Labs Initiative to Hack The Pandemic [2] by bringing together hackers in Clinical Trials informatics space - Drop us a note [email protected] if interested.
We are seeing an unprecedented activity on-the-ground at various orgs[3,4,5] where we power the clinical trials recruitment. There is a huge interest in patient/volunteer community. Any effort to streamline and accelerate would be welcome.
Here is my anecdata on Apple Pay and why I stopped using it altogether:
Once I used Apple Pay from my phone to pay on a third-party website, it showed a nice popover on Safari and it automagically used my address from my info as the SHIPPING address. Neat but the address was my old address, so I edited and changed the SHIPPING address to my new address. I press OK. Then Checkout.
I see that order was shipped to my old/incorrect address. The vendor said this is the address they received. I remember changing and updating the address on the APPLE PAY popover.
I called Apple as I had entered the correct address on APPLE PAY popover, they said may be the website vendor implemented it incorrectly, there are millions of websites using Apple Pay and they CANNOT/DO NOT check those integrations. This was a breach of trust. I entered my information on a pop-over shown on Apple iPhone by Apple iOS and not the third-party website.
Bottomline: Either Apple takes full responsibility of the data entry or leave it to third-party. Else consumers are stuck in limbo
Hundreds of organizations, including ours, rely on Rocket.Chat for their internal messaging. It all went down when a release was pushed and snap decided to auto-update [1] I can imagine it resulted in a huge loss of productivity at all these orgs in the Covid era.
Just learnt from this thread that apt-install will install snap! I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 + i3 (Dell Developer Edition) but will change to Debian.
There is an entire new class of species breeding over there: "Artificial Humans" [1]: A quantum state thing that may or may not be a real human. You can never tell. This is beyond Turing test. A real human behaving as bot or vice versa.
