The word "theory" is misused here. It should be "hypothesis".

A scientific theory is something that's well established, has a working understanding, and is verified through multiple experiments.

is still clunky compared to others.

Wut?

This isn't even a joke. And I think this might actually happen at some point.

There's no reason to believe that they're federal agents if they refuse to show ID.

This is what I don't understand. What's then to prevent literally anyone else claiming to be from some other agency to intervene and say they can't take the person away? And then claim they don't need to show ID?

Even Tom Paris wanted buttons back

I did acknowledge that it's not exclusive to the US. And I didn't say "it is", I said "it feels like".

FTX, Theranos, Fyre Festival, Enron, Bernie Madoff, Logan Paul's CrytoZoo, Charles Ponzi (the OG Ponzi scammer), etc.

While scams exist everywhere, the US seems specially suited to embolden people to run scams. At least high profile ones.

It's a whole hell of a lot harder to rig when your name is everywhere when you win.

This also sounds like a uniquely US problem. Not that there aren't scammers everywhere, but it feels like it would be more prevalent in the US.

Remember the other day when Microsoft boasted that 40% of their code is written by AI?

Plex (originally) and Jellyfin are a centralized way of managing your media with aesthetic and easy to use interfaces. I have one Jellyfin server and I have a Netflix/Display+ type interaction with my media. I have the same content on my phone, wife's phone, my desktop, laptop, my TV, etc.

All watch history, recommendations, up next queue, and so on.

And with the right setup (Wireguard in my case) I can access that content from anywhere.

You are the one basing your argument on an article from 2008 , not me.

..... what? You literally linked the article from Android Authority, not me.

You are completely deranged.

Says the person claiming a model's computational power usage scales with the number of classes trained.

Now come back with some hard evidence

Hard evidence for what? I've never once claimed phones are listening to people's conversations. This whole thread has been about the technical viability of such a system. Not evidence of it's literal existence.

You, on the other hand, have spewed nonsense this whole time.

So like I've said more than once, come back with something real or stay in your lane.

I already did multiple times

No you didn't, because you keep saying wrong things.

you just refuse to read it

I don't need to read it, because I read it when it came out... back in 2008. I read their stuff regularly. I also read all the other stuff about this topic (AI tech). An article from 2008 is irrelevant at this point. Technology has advanced leaps and bounds in 17 years. AI wasn't even a thing back then. Things like Picovoice didn't even exist until recently.

It also says a lot that your source of truth is a near 20-year old article from Android Authority.

How often do you say Nike ?

Personally? Never.

More interesting would be “I will buy a pair of new shoes” now shoes can be mentioned in tons of context so you better have a way of separate it.

I don't know about "interesting", but I do agree that it would be much greater context to better target ads. But that's not what the discussion was about. I said way back that I'm not positioning this idea of phone's listening as an absolute certainty. My whole point was that at a technological level it's well within technical means to accomplish the whole "our phones listen to what we say" all while not draining the battery enough to be outright noticeable.

Another thing to note, is that most (if not all) of the anecdotal stories about people talking about a topic and then seeing ads about that thing are often generic conversations. Even in my own tests, which are anecdotal, confirm that. I never talk about boating. I never search anything about boats. I also never saw any ads about boats. Etc. So I did a little test on my own recently and openly talked about "getting the boat ready", "can't wait to go boating next week", "need to get the boat in the water and ready for the season", and so on. I did this for about an hour solid. Then waited and hour and visited some generic websites that show ads, and lo and behold there were lots of ads for buying a new propeller, ads for nearby marinas, ads for marina supply shops, ads for boating accessories, and so on.

Like I said, it's entirely anecdotal and in no way conclusive, but it does lead me to believe that there might be truth to the rumours. And it's the kind of thing I've heard from many other technical people who deliberately tried to trigger ads on topics they never deal with otherwise.

And also like I said before either come back with something real, or go away and concede you’re out of your depth.

You missed the joke.

I was making a joke as if kph and mph were physically distinct things and only one of them worked in each country.

You literally just proved my point. Congrats.

Let's bring the gioter look back!

a substance as dangerous as chlorine

Water is often said to be the "element of life", and we need oxygen to live. But if you add one oxygen atom to a water molecule you end up with H2O2, or hydrogen peroxide, which is deadly.

This is the thing that the majority of people don't understand about chemistry. Just because one chemical (water is a chemical, btw) has the same word in its name as another chemical that's known to be highly toxic doesn't mean they're both toxic.

Chemistry is insanely complex and we are entirely unable to evaluate the toxicity of a chemical just by its name (without prior knowledge).

No you are wrong

Lol. "Nuh-uh" doesn't work with me.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64008486/effects-of-number-of-classes-on-inference-time-in-object-detection-api

Seems your making things up on the go

I speak from knowledge and experience. What do you bring to the table?

More wake words to listen to more battery drain. Fact.

1 trained class = 1 model

100 trained classes = 1 model

Tell me how running 1 model would drain more battery than running 1 model? I'll wait...

You have ZERO context then. Completely useless .

The person said "NIKE" a few times, show them ads for shoes. The person said "mechanic" "car" "fixed" around the same time, show them ads for local car repair shops.

You don't need the full context of what was said to get some context from just the words. The spacing in time and the revelations relationship between words can give you a whole lot of context. Plenty to target ads.

Now, either come back with something real, or go away and conceed you're out of your depth.

"Initial focus on PC"

I hope they're using those words correctly and I can pay it on Linux.

It's not gamification that's the issue. That aspect really held my attention and gave me consistency.

It's the push to a pay-to-win model that made me quit. They made the challenges harder and harder to complete without using boosts, and to use the boosts you had to use gems. And gems were really hard to get unless you bought them with real money. It doesn't matter if you have a super subscription (or whatever it's called), you still had to pay to get the gems.

And the prices for the gems were just as predatory and the disgusting mobile gaming industry. Never should there be an option to spend over $20 for in-game consumables, nevermind over $100. It's sick.

Give CodeBerg a look. It's starting to pick up some steam.
