When will we have actual, functional Star Trek "Computer, do what I want" style AI?Example:>Computer, find me that thread on /g/ that I meant to reply to but forgot, it has a post that says something like XYZ and an image that kind of looks like so-an-so in itand it can do it.or>Computer, filter all posts that look remotely like a soijakWhen do we get something that is directly integrated with our daily tasks and can do shit for us with only basic abstract instructions?>inb4 ai deletes your hard driveobviously some safeguards are requisiteRight now, most AI I see are dedicated to generating images or answering technical questions/generating code. I want AI to just greatly improve the efficiency of every single stupid thing I waste time on during the day, even if it's only like 80% accurate.
>>107529751How bumpy is space?While driving I have trouble hitting shit on the screen if the road is even a bit bumpy or if I have to steer the car. The climate control has buttons for everything so I don't even have to look, meaning I can adjust while steering, and I can physically touch the button to locate it before pressing it.
>>107526799>>107526098>>107526058To be fair apple had automatic email responses that took voice input and dictation, and would announce when and from whom you’ve received mail as far back as 2006. My buddy from achool’s father was an apple rep for a computer store so he got the retatdefly expensive stuff comparatively cheaply. Voice to text and text to voice was basically solved almost two decades ago, but only for niche or very specific contexts. It’s the generalizing that has proven difficult.

Here is my first Rust code;fn main(){println!("Hello World! I am happy to code in Rust.")}
>>107534833i don't use unwrap().i just told you that i could see where it could make sense to use it, not that i often encounter such a case.you can also use clippy hints to generate a warn whenever unwrap/expect/panic is used in your codebase.my rule of thumb is that i can use unwrap for prototyping but i must remove it before any commit.if i truely want to panic i'll use expect(), but i don't think i have any of those outside the main function where things are initialized and must be successful.
>>107534858It's not fine because midwits like you often unwrap on user input.Rust is a misdesigned pile of crap and I know this because core::Option/Result has unwrap too when it should've been without those, because panics might be okay in your curry laced desktop app, but they aren't ever okay to be embedded deep in the foundational code.core doesn't even count as a library, it's a fundamental shim without which rust programs cannot even compile.This forces me to waste time auditing crates and not using 99% of them.I will never recommend or agree with anything positive about rust in context of my employer.
>>107534877> often unwrap on user inputif it's a cli tool and the user provided a wrong input and the program couldn't run without a proper one, it's also fine to crash.though i'd rather use expect() to give a proper message.> Option/Result has unwrap too when it should've been without thosei disagree, i think they have their uses, and even if they weren't here, rust is flexible enough that you could add it back in like 5 lines of code.just define the Unwrap<T> trait and implement it for both option and result.it's just a match { Err/None => panic!()} nothing special.> deep in the foundational codeyou do know that c/c++ have asserts right ?also many std function can segfault in some specific cases.Comment too long.

>>107534995code that have no faillure branch is a fantasy that you don't see in 99% of codebases, rust or not.there are many things where the code should be as such, ie peacemaker, but there are also many things where it shouldn't for 2 reasons.1. exiting with an error can be the desired behavior in a huge class of software.2. no failure branch software has an engineering cost that would be high enough that practicaly no software we use today could have been made.be it your web browser, music player, blender, or even kernel.especialy, when fundamentaly, the hardware itself is not perfect and can have errors.if you want to get anything done you have to think about what's practical and the threat model of an error happening.peacemaker ?no crash allowed, and you better use fucking ecc hardware / hardware that can't fail.web browser ?do you want to 100x your devlopment time and cost to guarantee that it can't ever crash.Comment too long.

what constitutes a "PC" in the modern day?
>>107532865>>107532884i remember those times and those terms were just used for tech illiterates because it would communicate the concept well enough. the mac was still a PC at the time
>>107532729personal computer like a computer you own and use yourself and not a work computer,server...im writing this from a pc>>107532768MBs with soldered ram are pretty common actually and soldered ram makes sense for minipcs
>>107534113>i remember those times and those terms were just used for tech illiterates because it would communicate the concept well enough. the mac was still a PC at the timeOther way around actually. Calling everything a PC was easier to the tech illiterate to sell. Anyone with a brain used PC, Mac, Amiga, Atari, etc as a platform, otherwise you'd end up buying software (or even hardware) for the wrong platform. Like imagine mail ordering something from a distributor, saying PC and getting a DOS copy of a game instead of ST.
>>107534182>Like imagine mail ordering something from a distributor, saying PC and getting a DOS copy of a game instead of ST.right, that's why the term stuck. because of tech illiterates. they're all PCs, but illiterates (in all subjects) catch on to a certain term for a certain kind of thing, so the retail industry follows. you ask for "PC" you get something for a certain kind of PC because that's what youre expecting.
>>107534122>personal computer like a computer you own and use yourself and not a work computer,server...exactly, but >What happens if you own the device, but it runs programs out of your control? Like spyware, pup's, malware or intrusive ads?Is it still a 'personal' computer then? Are you still the 'owner' or has it become a subscription?
If you want to play games, it's not worth it to get a computer.

Look at the work by Whitney Webb. IMO, people are insanely stupid and will accept (they don’t have a choice because it’s up to congress) whatever shit gets pushed down our throats by u.s. intelligence after a major internet/financial false flag. Add in the fact that fields like chemistry, biotechnology, physics, engineering are continuing to rapidly advance, if someone can play with $5,000 in their garage and build stuff capable of killing at mass scale because of new tech, the only choice is a total surveillance state. Very dark times ahead mostly because of rapidly advancing technology.

This doesn't work anymore. It's over.
>>107532824Yes but you can disable it or earn BAT coins by watching advertising
>>107530869Huh?
>>107532860Unironic question about Brave's BAT, what can you do with it? Is there any use for it?
>>107533093The original way that it was billed was that you could earn this crypto and then exchange it for money, which sounds nice. However, when you do the math, and yes, I have done the math, you would need to Interact with 30 advertisements per day every day for a month in order to earn $5. Then you would have to take that $5 to a crypto exchange which supported BAT In order to convert it to an actual legitimate crypto like Bitcoin, which incurs pay service fee. And then there's another service fee to withdraw that as cash or to deposit it onto a credit card or into a bank account.So no, at the end of the day you can't actually use it for anything because the amount of money that you would get back is so tiny and the amount of such extensive ad viewing you'd have to do to earn it in the first place is insane.
