Whoever edited this highlights video for this game needs their bum paddled. How do you not show the no-ball on the final wicket that started the whole second half of the video?!?

You can't do this game justice in 7 minutes.

Easily the craziest game of cricket I have ever seen.

Sometimes T20 has got the juice.

Fuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkk.

Afghanistan need 4 sixes off the last four balls to win and go

6 6 6 WIDE ......... OUT! Noooooo

There is no boundary count back, that only applies when NZ are playing.

Holy shit, SA hit a six off the last ball to TIE THE SUPER OVER.

Holy shit, Afghanistan back up to their antics at the T20 World cup. SA bowler takes 10th wicket but it's a no ball! Then batter hits a six and bowler bowls another no ball. Then a run out going for the last run to win forcing a super over!

Chaos!

If AI can replace low skilled employees, then why does Danny Morrison still have a commentary job?

If you think AI can be used as a tool to "test your ideas" before spending real money then you are a fucking rube.

AI gen tools like this charge you money to waste your time and teach you one lesson:

People are good at their jobs and you need to pay them money for their expertise.

AI Floor Plans are worse than you'd think (with @AbbyCox )

I feel like I was giving generative AI too much credit in this thread so I should also say this:

AI can produce an image, but it can't DESIGN. It will never be able to design.

This video touches on this point. The AI generated floor plans don't know what stairs do www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkPb...

Working on my Gnome extension that mutes the computer when the Tina from Turners song comes on.

All of that to say, Autodesk software running on Linux would avoid the data theft risk.

They could be like the Valve of the design software world, being the catalyst for actual commercial adoption of Linux.

Yeah, it'll never happen but whatever.

The alternative is to scrape all of the work from a company's cloud storage, but that would probably require more direct permission and people can just move their data off Microsoft services.

So anyway, since the AI models have no useful data to train on, I can see a world where Microsoft implements some kind of 'Recall' like feature that pulls screenshots of your work and uses that as the training data it needs.

Steal your work, as you are working on it!

Asking AI to generate the design for a house would be like asking it to design a 3D RPG videogame and it sends back a JPEG of the title screen.

It's only done like 1% of the work and it's not even useful.

The stuff that is on Google in high volumes is bad amateur small scale residential floor plan layouts that were likely already generated by some kind of shitty tool online. It's awful data and not at all indicative of what real designers do.

Real construction documentation is never made public, you provide it to a client or project manager, and then that documentation goes to a building authority and then to a contractor. It should never be seen by anyone and so is not available to use as training data for AI.

So anyway, remember that laughable house floorplan that everyone dunked on a while ago? The one where it drew some bay windows ONTO the deck and you can see the handles?

It's bad because it's only been trained on the shitty data it can scrape off Google right now.

Firstly, I don't for a second believe that generative AI, even if trained with all the technical documentation in the world, will ever be able do the job of an architect or engineer.

But there is a world where people THINK that AI can do it good enough so they stop using professionals for this work

If Autodesk wants to save their business I think they have only one option and I'll give it to them for free:

Start developing your cad software for Linux and encourage professionals to use that version.

Heres why:

The Prime Minister of New Zealand is just highlighting one of the core contradictions of capitalism. It's in your interest to do the minimum amount of work possible to not get fired and nothing more.

Luxon is a working class hero imo.

Nothing that happens in a game of American football matters. It's all silly.

Daryl Mitchell single-handedly carrying the blackcaps short form team now, and thinking about it more, probably for a few years.

I would also wager he is probably the nicest guy on the team too.

Hah I guess so!

I can't believe I'm saying this but I was longing for the Tina from Turner's song at one point. That's bad brand association in my book!

Did Chorus buy up all the ad time for this #blackcaps game on sky and only play a silent static text only ad about fibre internet???

It's weird and it sucks.
