  • *“A customer says that someone on the phone said ‘a drone picture’ and the company denies it, saying they use other imaging.” * Customer could be mistaken, whoever was on the phone may not know that “drone” covers things from 737 Recon Drone to a $10 aliexpress quadcopter.

    I’ll bet $50 it was either a high altitude drone or a satellite image bought from an imaging company, as they’ve been doing for at least 20 years, and not some quadcopter flying just above his yard.

    Please think before commenting.








  • If the AI doesn’t have good goals programmed in, we’re fucked

    When they built a new building at my college they decided to to use “AI” (back when SunOS ruled the world) to determine the most efficient route for the elevator to take.

    The parameter they gave it to measure was “how long does each wait to get to their floor”. So it optimized for that and found it could get it down to 0 by never letting anyone get on, so they never got to their floor, so their wait time was unset (which = 0).

    They tweaked the parameters to ensure everyone got to their floor and as far as I can tell it worked well. I never had to wait much for an elevator.

    Works the same as M-b for me (backwards-word)

    Make sure your /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc contains

    # mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving
    
    "\e[1;5C": forward-word
    
    "\e[1;5D": backward-word
    
    "\e[5C": forward-word
    
    "\e[5D": backward-word
    
    "\e\e[C": forward-word
    
    "\e\e[D": backward-word`
