amusing you criticize windows updates here where the macos update schedule is woefully inadequate.

One is too delayed. The other is frequent but full of crap.

The issue with Windows is they eventually force it on you, no matter what.

What, MacOS doesnt?

You've stumbled on exactly why the big providers are lobbying for regulation and big claims that Ai is unsafe. They don't want you running these at home.

This product is proof that you apparently either don't know how to use AI, haven't used it within the last 3 months, or don't know what you're talking about.

It can certainly make judgements on the data and how it was obtained. You just need to specify the kind of data you will accept (or this can be hard coded)

Reminds me of the people whining about Wikipedia. AI can know or care if the data is fake, it just needs to be programmed to cross check or rate the source. You can even tell it to do that before accepting the data.

These are not parallel situations. Wikipedia is far more accurate and consistent, and a lot of the whiners whine because their personal politics make it hard to square the information on the page.

More regulation. If it's not regulation it's more taxation.

Ah, yes, that pesky FCC for regulating a public shared frequency spectrum. Im sure everybody will just behave in a vacuum of rules and wouldnt possibly do anything bad.

It seems to work okay over here in the UK.


Ofcom is the UK equivalent of FCC. You've got regulations too.

Haha, no.

*Maaaaybe* if you start keying up and talking over VHF channel 16, you'd get someone from Ofcom out.

Someone buying a couple of cheap Baofengs and accidentally stepping all over the local shopping centre's security guard radios? Not a chance.


How about jist enforcing the laws we already have.

It works great. Family loves being able to self serve media requests.

Considering grocery stores around here in the US are now running gambling machines I think you underestimate what grocery store operators are willing to sink to.


Maybe if you could figure out a digital work flow with digital development method it could really take off. But holograms are analog and hard to deal with.


The price of entry to kick off digital photography was a fraction of a megapixel, the industry really kicked into high gear around VGA resolution which is about 1/3 of a megapixel and it was VERY plausible for the computers of the time to manipulate it, store it, transmit it, display it, edit it, etc.

A very "entry level" not good but maybe enough to kick off an industry digital transmission hologram would be like "hundreds of gigapixels" or at least dozens and thats not realistic for computers of this time. The super cool reflection holograms are much worse, like "many dozens of terapixels" to even begin to play with.

I guess its good news there are still frontiers of computation out there to reach. A lot of people believed progress would cease when computers could do high enough resolution video, and they're mostly correct, progress has halted for the general public. But if we ever get smart phones with low petabyte fast on device storage and display, those could realistically have "star trek" like transmission holograms.

That beings up some interesting issues WRT RF engineering. Shannons law and all that. Even with unimaginably complex compression algos will something like a hand held hologram video conference (similar to sci fi tropes) ever be possible? Maybe 60 PB/s would not be unreasonable. Consider the LHC only generates about 1 PB/s when its running and that takes a rather large distributed system and a lot of electricity. I don't think video conference holograms will be realistic... Strange thought experiment the only way to do a "holographic video conference" with sane data transfer rates and power levels might be to send the other side a LLM prompt and ask for a locally AI generated video hologram. "Here's 1000 jpeg pictures of me as raw data, render a hologram of me saying 'scotty beam me up'"

The display hardware tech would be pretty wild. I think it could be done but it would require a minimum of 1980s nanotechnology hype. Like DLP but using individual atoms not "large" silicon mirrors.

In summary the MVP for digital photography required early 1990s hardware, but the MVP for digital holograms requires a LOT more than 2020s hardware. Maybe in the 2040s, 2100s, who knows.


The only way to beat this game is to not play.
