Yeah, AI took the first patent it happened to find and said it was “first” despite there being earlier patents and earlier documentation about door knobs.

Doesn’t change that he used AI slop to make the meme and then doubled down to accuse me of using AI after I linked a Tech Connections video about doing research using Google search.

It could have been the same shitpost without the AI.

I’m not using Google AI summary. I’m using google as a search engine. I specifically linked to a tech connections video where he shows how to do research. -And he used Google.

You have something against using search engines and reading articles and prefer taking AI summaries as truth?

Using AI slop results for memes.

Quick Google shows a patent for mass production of glass doorknobs in 1826. Which means non glass doorknobs existed earlier.

Maybe but you have to work with the data you have, not the data you want to see.

Imagining that the enemy is on the brink of collapse isn’t a good mind set when you are fighting something. It encourages laziness.

Typing quickly on a mechanical typewriter is a skill not easily mastered. It’s not just the typing, it is the extreme accuracy needed. There’s no backspace and no cut and paste. A letter covered in white out isn’t acceptable.

That’s just making one person do the job of more than one.

Capitalism has been doing that long before LLM’S.

That’s just making one person do the job of more than one.

How do you call bs on one person doing the work that used to take two? It was one person and an intern.

Every company had a secretary pool 60 years ago before word processors allowed people to type by themselves without an extra support person.

I don’t use it but my wife uses it for spreadsheet equations. She has to verifiy and test every answer but then so would anything written by an intern.

So yeah, AI is killing jobs, not in an individual sense, but in aggregate like spreadsheet software did 50 years ago when before that all work was done by hand.

Are you willing to pay 10x what you pay right now

They lost $20B on $50B revenue. That means they only need to double the price to make up the loss and have a profit.

Apple will fight it with everything they can. Latest MacOS27 hides linux partitions from the bootpicker so it is blocked in firmware.

and hope that someone else in the state has the exact same car model/color with plates that match the part of the plate that your leaf didn’t obscure.

Police can get away with it because almost all police cars are identical.

A 555 is $0.05

More reliable and the poster is wrong, it is cheaper.

A timer circuit is cheaper than a microcontroller.

I did that and it works well. The only problem is that when the battery goes to 0 on a long outage, the UPS can’t recharge it. I had to pull the battery, charge it with a lifepo4 charger, then reinstall.

Short outages are fine.

If you are using a buck converter you might as well use a ups. They’re both going to be ~ 95%.

Nope. This came up a few weeks ago and I checked it very carefully before posting because I thought it was true and was trying to post a map of the border including the airports.

Border patrol can only work near airports.

The 100 mile range near any airport is a myth.

The article isn’t about ice. It specifically says airports

“Border Agents”

You pulling a gun out at an airport is suicide.
