I believe the early Microsoft one did that well, but the popular ones (grok, chathpt, Gemini) will only when asked (in my experience).
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 5 days ago:
Can you provide an example?
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 5 days ago:
My optimism tells me this issue will be short lived. Unless someone can find a very creative way to monetize AI so that it is sustainable, it will likely crash (with local instances continuing to get development).
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 5 days ago:
It’s great! I felt the “no Wikipedia” was short sighted (UNLESS one of the teaching goals was doing research in an actual library!).
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 5 days ago:
Wikipedia is better than an encyclopedia, IMO, because the references are super easy to follow.
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 6 days ago:
I spent some years in classrooms as a service provider when Wikipedia was all the rage. Most districts had a “no Wikipedia” policy, and required primary sources.
My kids just graduated high school, and they were told NOT to use LLM’s (though some of their teachers would wink). Their current college professors use LLM detection software.
AI and Wikipedia are not the same, though. Students are better off with Wikipedia as they MIGHT read the references.
Still, those students who WANT to learn will not be held back by AI.

- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 2 weeks ago:
“This sounds like a your carrier problem, not an eSIM problem.”
This is true, and we the consumer have no control of the carrier decisions. With a physical SIM, we have at least a little.

- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 1 month ago:
And Windows isn’t telling them. That’s part of the issue. If Cortana could tell them “this boot was slow because your video driver missed an update necessary for other system packages. Would you like me to show you how to fix that now?” that would be a win for your typical user.

Google doesn’t “own” Android. They (and the OHA) are the maintainers. AOSP is open source.

Are you certain you’ll be able to do this? Do you have more info?

What happened to the Open Handset Alliance?

Well THERE’S an interesting idea!
BANG! “I did it again, I hate myself. Poor guy was minding his own business and hadn’t done anything to me.”
- Comment on MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs 4 months ago:
Sure, but many will cite a news organization’s opinion page as fact. Is this a good reason for any administration to target opinion pages?
The administration is supposed to represent the Constitution, not attack it.
Remember your constitution; particularly the 1st amendment.
- Comment on MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs 4 months ago:
It’s always been a jumping-off point, not a primary source. It’s still fantastic that way.

New Vegas is in my library. I look forward to playing it. I’m also interested in getting the first two as well.

- Comment on Bethesda is allegedly working on ‘multiple Fallout games’, including Fallout 3 Remastered, teases report 6 months ago:
FO3 was my first fallout experience, and I loved it. Currently playing 4, and it’s not as engaging. Some elements are cool (building), but the stories seem flat.
Can you expand on the idea that it’s not a good fallout game? What does that mean? What makes a good fallout game.
Thanks!
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 7 months ago:
I’d like a law that software / hardware companies who file for bankruptcies must release the source / files for their tech to an open source repository.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 9 months ago:
This presume trust in its accuracy.
A very high bar.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 9 months ago:
Same was said about calculators.
I don’t disagree though. Calculators are pretty discrete and the functions well defined.
Assuming AI can be trusted to be accurate at some point, your will reduce cognitive load that can be utilized for even higher thinking.

“Don’t underestimate…” may be the language you are looking for.
There are many types of intelligences. He has a high level in at least one. Quite low in others.
