Apples don’t fall far, peeps

Audio (MP3): 20181212 - Apples don't fall far, peeps

Apple firecracker circa July 2014
Apple firecracker, circa July 2014

Way back when… in one of the restaurants I worked at, the manager hired his son to bus tables. Nothing exciting there.

But back in the prep room the manager would rough house with the son most days. Take a boxing stance, throw half-hearted punches and jabs, smack the son’s hands when he raised them in defense.

Unintentional White Sox day

Unintentional matching White Sox attire

From earlier: apparently I’d unintentionally decided it was White Sox day.

Hopefully Alexa will get good at remembering

The Role of Context in Redefining Human-Computer Interaction

The Role of Context in Redefining Human-Computer Interaction

Understanding the user’s context is key to interpreting a customer’s utterance and providing the most relevant response. Alexa is using an expanding number of contextual signals to resolve ambiguity, from personal customer context (historical activity, preferences, memory, etc.), skill context (skill ratings, categories, usage) […]

Alexa really needs to get better at remembering my “historical activity.” I ask her every night to turn off my bedroom light and 9 times out of 10 she doesn’t get it right. It’s not because she can’t turn off the light. It’s because she doesn’t remember that my bedroom light is named “Teal Room” and I ask her to power it off at roughly the same time.

Granted that’s a hard word pairing to parse, especially with my Amish accent but c’mon, powering the light off is something I do EVERY NIGHT when I go to bed.

Amusingly she never forgets that I have a fan named “The Terminator” and she ALWAYS turns that off and on.

That’s really cool stuff. It reads like they are basically creating short-term and long-term memory in AI. I would be fascinated to see how they are deciding to set that up. Temporary storage of contextually relevant information would be super efficient and without the biological burden of inhibition (like we have during memory retrieval) AI would end up being the perfect listener. Ha ha.

tcr! tcr! · Dec 11, 2018 at 7:56 pm

Perfect keeper of secrets, too! I doubt if Bezos is going to let that hard won memory go. He needs it to offer the aliens when Blue Origin makes first contact.

Claire · Dec 11, 2018 at 9:07 pm

Ha! Let’s hope Jeff Bezos doesn’t give them a poor perception of humans. On second thought, a real life “Mars Attacks” would be interesting…

Really what I’d like is Alexa in my truck so she can drive me around. That’d be ftw.

The truth is, I’ve never been holed up in a Moroccan flophouse shaking off an opium addiction.

Raw dough is out says CDC

tcr! · Dec 11, 2018 at 8:02 am

no raw dough

Say No to Raw Dough!

There are many special occasions through the year that are perfect to spend time with loved ones while preparing delicious baked foods in the kitchen. Follow these safety tips to help you and your loved ones stay healthy when handling raw dough.

When you prepare homemade cookie dough, cake mixes, or even bread, you may be tempted to taste a bite before it is fully cooked. But steer clear of this temptation—eating or tasting unbaked products that are intended to be cooked, such as dough or batter, can make you sick. Children can get sick from handling or eating raw dough used for crafts or play clay, too.

Even mortizone won’t save you…

What? Well, it doesn’t get much past the butter sugar stage before I eat it.
