In some ways, AI brings a modus operandi to the digit world that we have long had in the physical word (food, clothes, furniture, appliances, etc.):
Producing stuff cheaply, with a low quality and without thinking about the resulting pollution.
Disney+: Restarting my subscription hasn’t worked for over 48 hours.
It’s not a big deal for me but I find it interesting that they haven’t detected and fixed the issue yet: I’m seeing an exception in the console (see screenshot below). And that exception should have been reported to the tech people(?) Or maybe some things can’t be fixed during the holidays?
Also interesting: Disney+ uses NextJS.
(Creating a new account probably works but I’d rather not do that.)
1/ Thoughts on foldable phone sizes:
• The unfolded screen should be wide not square.
• That can be achieved by folding the typical phone size three times or by folding a wider phone once.
• Google originally did the latter and it now seems to be coming back (Samsung and probably Apple).
• The DIN (A4 etc.) aspect ratio is perfect: If you fold it in half, the ratio is the same (Math.SQRT2 in JavaScript).
Browser shortcut (works in Chrome & Safari; but not in Firefox):
• Edit the current location.
• Press Command-Return (Mac) / Control-Return (Linux, Windows).
• The new location is opened in the background.
It’s difficult to portray artificial intelligences well on TV: You want them to be different from humans but without them being boring. Some aspects of them have to feel like technology (which is where depictions often lose me).
TV shows where I enjoyed AIs:
• Person of Interest
• Westworld
Any others?
