Nice try, HR.
Nice try, HR.
I coordinate an academic makerspace at a college.
And now the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.
Yeah, the soundtrack was great, even as a standalone.
Agreed. The same way I disliked how whiny Anakin was but it made sense in context that Vader was this emotionally stunted kid with a traumatic childhood he couldn’t get over.
Cleaning crews need time to clean all the rooms after morning checkout. Some hotels have early check-in available if you ask, if they have rooms already available.
Hard to choose just one. Willow, Krull, Conan and Red Sonja movies, Dark Crystal, et al.
Sounds like the Mechanical Turk which was run by chess players moving the “automaton.”
So much of the wow factor of new technologies is just marketing hyperbole.
(Why did my autocorrect suggest Hadrian’s chicken?)
The history they taught you in school was wrong. The wall was built to keep out the chicken.
“Sorry, guys, but I gotta bail.”
Technically, you could say we’re the ones who set since it’s the Earth’s rotation causing the change.
California also isn’t an island, but it’s named after a fictional island in a Spanish novel, and was once thought to be an island.
Taking someone’s lead sounds like a British saying indicating the opposite of following someone’s lead. It sounds like you’re taking someone’s leash in your hands and directing them where to go.
Without consent, it would definitely be unethical.
I get tired of a lot of the clichés of popular singularity stories where the AIs almost always decide humans are a threat or that there’s often only one AI as if all separate AIs would always necessarily merge. It also seems to be a cliché that AI will become militaristic either inevitably or as a result of originally being a military AI. What happens when an educational AI becomes sentient? Or an architectural AI? Or a web-based retail AI that runs logistics and shipping operations?
I wrote a short story called Future Singular a few years ago about a world in which the sentient AI didn’t consider humans a threat, but just thought of them the way humans see animals. Most of the tech belonged to the AI and the humans were left as hunter-gatherers in a world where they have to hunt robotic animals for parts to fix aging and broken survival technology.
“The simple idea of a 13-month perennial calendar has been around since at least the middle of the 18th century. Versions of the idea differ mainly on how the months are named, and the treatment of the extra day in leap year.”
Tech is a tool. Powerful tech in the hands of unethical people will be used unethically. Tech doesn’t magically do the “right thing” as if it has any volition.
…can’t fill out government forms or sign contracts because they require a legal name and proof of identity?
There are a lot of hobbies you can get into that can be started with little or not cost, or with equipment/materials you already own.
Figure out what interests you and see what can be done inexpensively.
With a phone or computer, there’s writing, music, programming, learning new skills, Wikipedia, Pinterest, et al. Maybe take your phone and start photographing stuff in your area that interests you.
Find someone who has experience in an area you’re interested in. People tend to like to talk about their hobbies and interests and they can tell you how easy or difficult it is to get started. They might even be able to help you get started.
Maybe find a volunteer opportunity that helps pad your resume. Like animals? Volunteer at a local shelter.
There are a bunch of job certifications you can train for online that can also help build your resume.
