- Comment on Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today? 14 hours ago:
Here in the Netherlands the “pigeon racing” sport is still relatively alive, but does have an aging target group. Pigeons are driven somewhere many miles anyway, (well km’s) and released, first home gets a price.
There are breeders and trainers etc.

That would be nice but as the “proud owner of medical issues” it’s much more often: “You have this, we don’t know why you have it, this is how we can manage it”.
You still want your doctor to be knowledgeable of course, but you also want them to use the best tools at their disposal. Most of them probably couldn’t tell you how an mri machine works exactly either.

You don’t always have to know how it works to rely on it. Most people could not tell you how a computer works but they are able to do better work.
We can verify that it’s better in some tasks than people. E.g give doctors and the AI 1000 MRI scans of potential cancer patients and it can determine it more accurate than doctors. So there they already are a help.
It’s already used in advancing different fields, for example reading texts of ancient burned scrolls without opening the scroll since that would break them.

But also medicine creation etc.

I think AI so far is detrimental to society.
-
It made it too easy to flood the world with bullshit.
-
Also it will make tracking peoples behaviors much easier while keeping plausible deniability on levels that past horrible regimes could only dream about.
-
It will be used to make replacing workers more easy.
-
It is being used to deny more healthcare (eg Luigie’s case)
Pro’s
-
Can be used for good (eg in the medical field) by finding issues sooner and making better cures
-
Using AI to actually learn though is a great tool.
-
Other scientific advancements

All in all I think it with social media is one of the biggest reasons the US is in the state it is.

I am an software engineer, grew up with the rise of computers, love them.
I don’t want smart things. No touch screens on appliances, fridges, ovens, cars. I don’t want my monitor to be smart.

The training corpus of these large models seem to be “the internet YOLO”. Where it’s fine for them to download every book and paper under the sun, but if a normal person does it.

I was looking around for new monitors and many are “smart now too” so you can watch Netflix. I dunno, but I already have a device attached which can do that much better, and more!
- Comment on Heroes of Might and Magic is the best Might and Magic 1 week ago:
There is Songs of Conquest which I think most HoMM players will appreciate. A modern wink to the series.
- Comment on Heroes of Might and Magic is the best Might and Magic 1 week ago:
For me too, the pixel art style of it I really love. I’ve even tried one because I was perhaps that feels closer to two than three, but it’s just too unpolished and primitive vs two.
Three may very well be the superior game. Same with AOE. For most people the love is for two; which is the better game, but I’ve always reached back to 1.
(Now with the DE editions of those, those are the better games, get 2 with the Rome expansion)

Perhaps a DE version of HoMM will be released as well.

Super Mario Bros in the NES for me, the excitement if you reach a later level for the first time, only to die and have to try it al over again.

- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 2 months ago:
When they get married and or get children they can pick only one to continue. So that the names don’t get super long indeed.

Both, that’s what me and my wife did. It was recently allowed here, but it has been common in Spanish speaking countries for example.
