  • Got to love AI
    kluursK kluurs

    One of the joys of being old is that I have learned to appreciate technology – perhaps more than people who have known it all their lives. My latest sojourn into AI was related to some software/hardware/networking issues at home. In the past, I might have posted on a message board or contacted tech services of different companies – and it easily could have been transformed into a multi-day frustration to get things to work. Using AI, I could work iteratively to solve the multiple issues necessary to get things to work. Admittedly, some of the issues were…me…and some of it was that I’m working with equipment from different manufacturers with their long-winded recondite manuals providing more information than I need – but which take time to wade through – and providing plenty of opportunities for wrong direction. Using AI, I got clear instructions on exactly what to do – and when something didn’t work, just report back – and ask for additional clarification. SUCCESS – new computer, new streamer, and new music server interfaced with two different music systems and a digital piano. Less fuss, no phone calls, no misdirected anger, etc. AI seems to get better every month I use it – and I’m using more than one product. Best thing since the invention of the internet.

  • The America Party?
    kluursK kluurs

    I've always fantasized that a third party should be formed - with a narrow focus - to reorder the most egregious idiocy of the current system - term limits, establishment of a system that negates gerrymandering, something that limits congressional and judicial enrichment - - essentially new guardrails that inhibit governmental overreach - along with protections for the proverbial "common man/woman". One might suggest limiting the disproportionate influence of certain external actors - but then one might be accused of being anti-Christian, antisemitic, anti-woke, anti-union, or anti-something.

    Thinking a basement workout space would be a whole lot nicer.

    I have my home gym in the attic above the garage. It's a bit warm today - 118 degrees F at the moment. And it's not that nice dry heat - as the head index is 139 degrees.

    @Horace said in The Iran Nuclear Program thread:

    I feel there are plenty enough unknowns here to at least allow that reasonable people can be on either side of the discussion of whether this was a good idea

    All of what you said was expressed very reasonably, but this is the part that sometimes gets lost.

    @Mik said in The Iran Nuclear Program thread:

    I suspect the Iranian people as a whole have lost their fervor for spreading Islamic revolution now that they see their utter vulnerabilities. If they ever really had it. My impression is those who signed on to that did it for personal power, not ideology.

    Iran is not the only nation where a group of religious fanatics have a degree of influence out of bounds with that of the majority of the population - part of the reason that Chris Hitchens had such disdain for religion.

    Israel wants peace

    Many (most?) Israeli's do - BUT just as in America, there are some very powerful and influential Israelis who want that PLUS a lot of land and more. Israel, like he US, has some significant parts of its population who have very different (contradictory) objectives.

    The most important thing is that our nation continues to care most for those people who need caring for the least.
