as far as I've understood the AI mode on my new-ish washing machine: it's just a renamed "automatic" mode that uses a sensor to measure how heavy the load is and adjusts the cycle length. there is absolutely no AI involved, just an if-statement or equivalent logic gates. I'd guess yours does something similar
There is, the Koralpe massif. Previously to get to Klagenfurt from Graz you first had to go north through a somewhat tight valley for about 50km before the train would turn to the south-west towards Klagenfurt, again tough alpine valleys, and with a lot of stops inbetween.
The new route goes south/south-west immediatley, is very straight compared to the old route, and has at most 3 stops.
I've gotten into the habit of generally using single quoted strings (with 'around them') which alleviates most problems with escaping double quotes. And for the odd string that needs to have a single quote inside I switch back to double quoting.
This approach also has the added bonus of stopping PHP from accidentally evaluating something inside the strings.
they do. which is how they figured out the discrepancy between estimated and actual weight.
but they do need to estimate the weight to plan the loading of baggage and cargo, e.g. more male adults in the back of the plane means cargo will prefarably be put in the front of the hold and vice versa.
I am aware. Why do these news corporations not just write an appropriate robots.txt so Google can't take their content? Is it maybe because they want their cake AND eat it too?
Nothing is stopping them from building their own aggregation sites and disallowing Google/Facebook to index their sites.
They are literally giving their content to Google and then demand they get paid. (Technically Google is taking the content via indexing, but I'm sure they can figure out a way to stop that)
Who is forcing you to install apps from any store?
Are you being held hostage and compelled to install apps against your will? Blink twice for yes, three times for no.
I think you are correct with your assessment of how most people use computers.
But I don't agree with your conclusion that they need to be protected. If I want to hammer in a nail and accidentally hit my finger that's not the hammer-manufacturer's fault or responsibility. So why should it be the email-client's fault/responsibility to make sure I don't send my private keys?
If people refuse to learn how to use a hammer they will keep hitting their fingers, if people are refuse to learn how to use their email-client they will keep sending their private keys to bad actors.
With teaching UI you breed the class of people who will shout the loudest when something changes.
Teaching your parents that "the internet" is the blue icon in the taskbar will teach them to call you when microsoft decides to install chromium-edge on their machine because "the internet is gone".
Don't teach anyone how to use a specific UI, teach the concepts that made the UI look the way it does. And with that anyone will be able to transfer that knowledge to a slightly different looking UI without much of a problem.
So the tradeoff we're making is between the user seeing a white screen for a couple of (mili)seconds and the websites getting even more bloated by preloading content that the user might or might not want to see in the future?
