This may be pure conjecture, but my first thought is always that it might be a marketing ploy by the AI companies to make their products seem more advanced than they really are.
I would imagine, in this example, that the fact that you put in the numbers yourself gives you a mental map of where the numbers are and how they relate to each other, that having AI do it for you doesn't give you.
You could stare at a large sheet of numbers for a long time, and perhaps never get the kind of context you gained by entering them.
Additionally, if there was a mistake, it may not be as noticeable.
In business, it's sometimes more about people's expectations for a company's future than their past performance.
We must never assume the market is rational, and enough people getting hyped at the same time can give a company enough short-term cash to make an unexpected move.
I don't have a reliable source, but I've heard that the original script had the machines use us for our processing power, not our energy, but that the studio thought it sounded too complicated and had them change it. Of course, changing it makes it make ZERO sense.
I used to use XSLT all the time, but I had forgotten all about and haven't used it in years. It was perfect to do a quick SQL query with "for xml auto" and then add an XSLT stylesheet to it. Instant report.
I also do the text file thing. I use EditPad Pro. The only additional thing I've done is create syntax coloring in any file named 'tasks-*.txt'.
I added simple things like:
- Color anything ending in a ? green, so when looking at a list of notes, so I know where the questions were.
- Any line beginning with an all caps word is highlighted (e.g. TODO: )
- Any line ending in a : is highlighted light blue (e.g. title)
- Any Line Containing "Error" is red
I do suppose I could be using Markdown, but I've had this going for 20 years now.
I've always had this idea that perhaps the whole universe had already collapsed into many black holes and perhaps each galaxy was actually formed via hawking radiation. Then our galaxy came out of Sagittarius A*.
But - hear me out - if all of your servers did have wifi - and it was usually disabled - but you could enable it, move the server, then disable it - that might be something?
I know having a redundant server is better - but there's something to it.
Also, this reminds me of a post I read a while ago about them moving a server from one building to another without unplugging it or something.
Why just Wifi? With ARM chips you can also have LTE in your servers! (Better check with the NSA first - maybe all the existing Intel and AMD SoCs already have some form of wireless comm built-into it?).
thank you for digging up the link, it was everything I hoped it would be. that one's going in my bookmarks.
obviously a second server and a reverse proxy or something would be less jank, but your idea definitely has merit. it's kind of like using two points of contact while climbing something.
