That would be true of any software system we put into an airplane, yet we have deployed software into airplanes.

If your AI has linear / continuous output, testing it should be no different than any other software.

That much is clear but any remotely continuous AI model is very predictable.

That entirely depends on what exactly you implement here, it's entirely possible to implement an AI with continuous & linear properties, meaning that you can extrapolate it's behaviour between a set of inputs with decent accuracy and it won't suddenly change it's behaviour between continuous & linear inputs.

But AI isn't different than existing software systems either. Both will take an input from reality and take actions upon it.

If for a given set of inputs there is a deterministic output, then the overall behaviour to a series of inputs is just as deterministic and predictable.

I'm not sure what you mean with "is not predictable" when you also admit that it's repeatable.

What does that question even mean?

The pilots take off when they take off. If their take-off clearance isn't obviously time limited, they are certainly allowed to take their time. If they rush the take-off they might skip crucial items from their checklists in the haste, we learned that lesson the hard way already. Or what would have happened had the southwest jet had an issue on take off and had to reject? There is a number of reasons to reject a take off before decision speed that will take the plane down the rest of the runway on full brakes.

AI is entirely deterministic. ChatGPT and StableDiffusion and friends are fed endless amounts of random seeds along with every input to keep them from just saying always the same thing.

QUIC and ECH cover the leakage of host information already, so DNS over TLS/HTTPS is plenty useful already IMO. Just needs the hosts to upgrade to support ECH or QUIC. Plus it's never bad to cover your bases, DNS queries are for more than just the browser (ie, for example the SRV record which an application may use for connection data or TXT records for configuration or ACME).

I'd love to see people doing their taxes on their console, since by that argument it would be more streamlined.

An iPad costs non significant amounts of money and not everyone is privileged enough to get a MacBook Pro for personal work from their employer.

> And you still won't be able to match the graphics quality of a PS5 in new games.

And the PS5 won't be able to match the PCs capability of doing productive things when not gaming.

Not all things are quite possible on a phone or as comfortable as you could do them on a PC (I couldn't imagine coding on a phone).

You don't need a 3060, you can simply get a GPU from a few generations back. You can get a Vega 56 for about 300€ which will play most games in high quality settings without any issues.

Same for all other components, it's no longer true that you need current-gen technology to be able to play with Graphics put on High.

I didn't say you'd have to buy a workplace PC with gaming capabilities, there is plenty of opportunities for a PC to be productive outside work and gaming (such as commenting on HN).

You can definitely get a GPU for affordable prices if you're willing to wait. The insane prices apply if you want a GPU now.

Also keep in mind that consoles are subject to the very same price increase, it's nearly impossible to obtain a console for the advertised price.

How many free Console games are there? Much less than PC.

It's entirely fair as there is more possibility of free PC games, or them being of negligible cost since you pay lower platform fees.

This is in addition to the opportunity costs you incur of not buying a PC or having a lower powered PC as a PC can be used for other things (ie, office work, taxes, other productivity tasks).

A half decent PC is in the 800€ to 1000€ range. If you're willing to take some graphical downgrades you can do it for 600-800€ too.

How many games can you buy for 500€ max? About 10 or so. Maybe.

I would question if this weren't the case often enough that people would demand it be compatible with their teleprompter.

The reason HTTP is ASCII based isn't because it's easier to debug. It's because back then the other end was as likely to be a human as a piece of software. Because HTTP in it's early days barely had headers or even formatting, so people typed "GET /" at the server directly or used the same method to send mail directly.

Nobody does that anymore and debugging is easily solved by converting your binary protocol to a textual form.

Surprisingly, a bunch of software doesn't like it when you setup TAI, if you manage it to begin with.
