Comment First Bitcoin then AI .. what am I missing (Score 1) 31

Not normally a conspiracy theorist. First block chain (wont even go into the obscure inventor bit) becomes a thing requiring massive amounts of GPU computing power, to the extent where it was impossible to purchase a GPU to do GPU things. Now AI is a thing, even more so requiring GPUs to do not so much GPU things. Is there a secret world order which needs this massive pattern recognition global infrastructure for some ......

^this!!

critical driveline software should be separate and autonomous from accessories. My ID.4 which I love but admittedly does not have the smoothest accessory software used to crash the heads-up display and with it the air conditioning system. So, while driving in summer rush hour hear I am performing a hard boot on the system swearing my but off.

Playing devils advocate we have a slew of users who want to be able to drive there car with there iphones.

Comment Workplace Chat Server (Score 1) 83

Back in '98 we used the standalone server as a workplace chat app for a tech support department. It worked great, especially since we were always on the phone you could still chat with a coworker. The server wasn't well supported and had a memory leak which lead to the NT Server crashing and killing the entire tech support departments MS Access database. Boss wasn't happy, but had to take the hit since he gave into our request to install. It was fun while it lasted.

Comment Commercial Realestate Project Mananger here ..... (Score 1) 165

I am a construction project manager who does a significant amount of commercial realestate projects. It has been interesting seeing how different company cultures react to this ideoological shift. Firms with younger manangment treat it as an apportunity to addapt firms with older manangement basically freeze and wait for the news everyone is going back to work. You watch demand to return after demand to return and the offices are still empty.

Developers are pivoting to biomedical and multifamily .... they are desperate. We here strories of downtown los angeles mega building owners giving up buildings. My position is these are company cultures who froze hoping for things to return to the status quo. This will certainly play out. Gone are the days of setting up a cubicle home and having personal spaces.

Comment Re:Housing conversion best option (Score 2) 69

This is not correct. Adaptive Reuse of buildings is done all the time. Downtown LA used to be all commercial up through the mid 2000s. Adaptive reuse of old garment industry buildings revitilized downtown, keeping in mind the california seizmic requirements. There just has to be a motivating factor (see profit). I know in California the main issue has just been strict beurocracy that just makes things close to impossible.

I would like to pose a different perspective. Yes you are correct in this being an algorithm approach which is being called A.I. I think though this is a matter of speaking what doesn't exist into existance by placing focus, and as a result, resources, and as a result problem solving, and most importantly determination. Now there are people like you who glory in pointing out the discrepancy, kudos.

I don't want to do it because:

1. it's hard, because
2.it takes too long
3. I have to wake up earlier
4. I'll have to miss my favorite show
5. because it's my constitutional right and I don't care if it's wrong
and our newest
6. because it target's me as an individual, or/and generalizes my identity.

The old way was insecure, outdated, and cost institutions (see users) millions of dollars a year due to avoidable fraud. This way is somewhat more secure ... period

I was always a fan of the quick hard type instructions then stamp the enter key, no matter what the procedure call is still hard type instruction than stamp the enter key.

So this is a solution which get's the desired response but doesn't solve the problem, speeding. Eventually drivers will become accustom to such painting/illusions and temper there accident response. Instead of your brain saying look a child, or obstruction and immediately apply teh break your brain will introduce the question is it an illusion before applying the break.
