    I now have two computers, a Mac mini that stays home and a laptop I travel with. I need the cloud to keep them in sync. I also have a physical hard drive backup

    @89th said in The dancing clown Bill Burr: I said stop at 1:20! I've never been good at following instructions. Just ask my wife. I really liked Bill Burr's response. This is what everybody should do.

    "Remain single" or "currently single"? That's a big difference.

    @Mik said in Better And Faster: Tutoring is an excellent use of AI. I've seen a lot of videos of people being queried about basic knowledge questions - e.g. New York City is in what state? Hawaii is in what country? And a personal favorite of if something costs 65 cents, how much change would you receive from a dollar? There are oodles of people unable to answer those questions. Scary as hell. AI may supplant the need for these voters people and even the people who can answer the questions. I love that AI can tailor things to a specific person. A lot of college students are using AI to not only succinctly summarize notes - but come up with flash card like means to help study. In college, I both learned and later taught statistics - where a lot of the time was devoted to derivation and calculation. A generation later - all of that was unnecessary as software allowed one to focus on the more important issue of interpretation. Now, even that is being supplanted.

    Thanks Kluurs. Argerich remains my top favourite living pianist. I have yet to be disappointed by any of her solo recordings out there. Interesting what the article has to say about her relationship to Schumann’s music. I would have never thought that.

    There is nothing RT could say about Donald Trump that wouldn't be framed as a dunk on Trump.
