Gave my first demo to a prospective customer this morning.
Phew! Went ok! Maybe?
My spiel has a strong “don’t use #AI, do this instead” theme. Since this was for people who were pretty technical I went into some detail about why #machinelearning for this problem was using a hammer to perform heart surgery. My wife watched the faces while I did the demo. She said the ML engineers in the group looked shocked and dismayed.
Getting real, though, I don’t think their careers are in grave danger.

Still. I wanted to get through to their bosses. Even if nothing comes of this for my little venture, I’m glad some boss-types got to hear an explanation of why ML and “big data” tech is often really bad. Bad in a way they would understand as bad. And crucially: not at all inevitable. There’s usually a better way.
A way that also happens to be more humane. Didn’t have the nerve to say that part. Not proud of that. 😔

I’ll get better at this.
Anyway. Time to go love on a couple of donkeys now. #asstodon

I see what you did there 👀
And yeah, I happen to be quite enough past 25, hence why I agree with the doctor that it's time to see what's going on 8-D

@mxjaygrant Can you share a bit more about what is making you say that? This post wasn't directed at Mastodon users, and I don't feel that way about our users at all. But if there's something I've done to make you feel that way, I'd like to work to improve.

@emaytch @mcc Pale Moon has forked a long time ago and had been maintained independently from Firefox, so for all intents and purposes it can be considered truly an independent browser now with its own engine and it will survive even without FF. For LibreWolf and WaterFox, though, their survival without Firefox behind them is a huge question mark indeed.

altre ricerche funzionano come ci si aspetta (con o senza risultati rilevanti), quella fa cose buffe
