Someone needs to introduce this to an AI model. Have agents recreate music from scratch! :)

When .INF was all you needed (and some .cat / sys)! More recently, I found out that approach can sometimes lead to missing features when using the hardware. Even though the driver is installed correctly. I was probably missing something but didn't dig deeper into it.

Thanks for the breakdown. I am far from knowledgeable on AI but was wondering why can't a simple comparison work? They can definitely be coded, as you have beautifully demonstrated.

It's a great idea indeed. But the paranoid _like myself?_ would probably not recommend it as it runs on...well...a browser. I'm not at ease with the chance that a code change someday would / could allow a copy of my file to be uploaded anywhere.

As for having the browsers run in "offline mode" (proxy equal 127.0.0 1?)...neat but I would vote against it. My fridge just needs to keep stuff cold, my toaster should serve bread, my Internet browser should not be an app.

Isn't that some form of "accidental learning"? All you wanted was to get the audio working not to pick up troubleshooting. Maybe you're meant to be a musician and perhaps we all missed out on the next Mozart / Kanye. IMHO, if one wanted to know how computers work, they should take them apart and build them back up, modifying them here and there. Just my 2 cents.

Great for her. It sounds like she didn't have a lot, especially in 2013 when computers were easily available even in 3rd world countries.

"Opt in" is exactly what I expect of people when I need help. The closest implementation of your white board is me using Teams to DM people for help - when they have time. The expectation is they'd reply once they're free instead of instantly replying with a meeting invite.

That was very funny. You should start a blog. If you already do, give out the link.

Back in my early career, the company I worked for needed an inventory system tailored to their unique process flow. Such system was already in development and was scheduled to launch "soon". A few months went by and I got fed up with the toil. Sat down one weekend and implemented the whole thing in Django. I'm no genius and I managed to have a solution that my team used for a few years until the company had theirs launched. In a weekend. Amazing what you can do when you want to Get Shit Done!

Until a few years ago, I thought the same. They made that decision, not me. I shouldn't have to burden myself with any obligations and should get to just reap the benefits for me and my children alone.

But something changed somewhere. I now see my parents in a whole new light.

There is a book "Factfulness", in which the author lists a matrix for four income levels. My parents started at level 2. I still remember their parents houses: the makeshift kitchen with dim lighting, the four walls and the hole they named a bathroom, the leaky faucets at the ends of pipes ran across the house and exterior to the uneven, unpainted walls.

The sacrifices they must have took to change their socioeconomic standing and subsequently my own can never be requited. I now fit somewhere along the fourth level. I can't help but feel immense gratitude when I see them now. I now try to give them all that I can so they enjoy the time they have left. And I wish I had the foresight in my earlier years to tell them how I appreciate their efforts but then again, those stubborn bastards loved to argue then.

I don't know what I wanted to communicate saying all this so excuse me while I text my mother.

After reading many comments in this thread: I wonder if we could emulate this problem digitally. To have a digital recording of the decision we'd made and can change the pivotal moments and have the program follow through with decisions we could be making...etc.

I don't know, I'm a bit tipsy. But this could be fun.

I, too, mined some bitcoins when it first appeared. My computer at the time was housed in a case of plywood that I'd made. I wonder if my crappy computer from over 20 years ago has at least a Bitcoin in it? Well, time for qat now. Will dig it out later.

Checking it out...thank you so much

Thank you for the introduction. I finally have proof that all those "videos from the future" are fake. I knew they were, just didn't know what planar tracking was.

On another note: the Humane AI is released. Maybe the scam is that it's damn slow?

For a minute there I thought you described us (HN readership).

I'm hooked. Who was that?

Ok, this is weird. I just saw this book on a YouTube short a few moments ago. And now I see it here. Interesting? Could be that this is trending but the paranoia within has me leaning towards the old suspicion: the Internet is a unique bubble for each one of us. LoL

Someone in IT should do the same but specifically for printers.

Yep. It's not the clueless HR but systematic. I have yet to read anything specific about why this happens and the benefits of it.

Really? You don't read anything in parentheses? I think that would be harder to do (I'm joking, don't take it seriously) than actually reading the parenthetical information.

When TikTok first came out, I thought it was ridiculous that people would just keep scrolling short videos for hours. I got sick one day, check it out, and spent half a day scrolling. I immediately uninstalled it.

I like having a smartphone. And as I have no kids, I only go home a few hours before I am to sleep. I can't have my workstation in my car, but the phone suffices most days.

But your opinion got me thinking: what gadget would I replace my phone with? Maybe a flip phone, a kindle, and one of those AI rabbit gadgets.

This is awesome and extremely benefetial in this AI era. But the paranoid part of my brain doesn't like that.
