No, yours literally says “featured snippets”, as opposed to something saying it’s AI generated.

Your’s is a “featured snippet”, which is where it highlights a relevant portion from a top result.
The AI results have the AI synthesize a new sentence or set of paragraphs answering the question using data from multiple sources.

They’re different results because you didn’t seem to get the AI search results. After making it available to everyone they’ve been hit with a bunch of weird results and have started scrambling to manually remove the particularly strange ones as they crop up.

This is what it typically looks like:

For a brief moment in the beta for all this, it basically just summarized the top two or three reputable results, and attached a link to where it got the data.

They should have just left it at that, and not started mixing in random blogs and social media sites.
The ability to summarize the Wikipedia article and a random university professors page where they list every fact known to man about pine trees or something was actually helpful.

If I want the AIs best guess about how to fuck up a pizza, I just go to the site where I can ask it. Bad advice when searching is just shit.
A tldr for “what is turpentine” is actually helpful.

I kinda like a little thingy that has a USB plug on one end under a cap, and a salt shaker on the other. Or maybe like a little hot sauce shaker, if we’re moving away from salt.

Yeah, look at image before title, wondered if it was a salt shaker and what language uses kalt for salt.

Hrm, USB stick salt shaker…

Maybe. Those don’t come “for free” though. It’s a case, I think, of companies trying to skip needing to invest in UI design for stuff and “just let the AI figure out what they want”

The reason for that is because we hit a point where it was cheaper to buy an off the shelf microcomputer that came with wireless capabilities than it was to design a purpose built control board.
Once you’re building a device that has the hardware for itg, you may as well try to use it as a competitive differentiator.

When this wasn’t a total failure, manufacturers started spending a bit more effort to develop the control part of things, which is why now we have a lot of different unified hub type apps.

… Bad eyesight has existed for all of human history. It’s far from a new thing.

Don’t even need to be old. Don’t need to be able to see that good to know the red blotch that smells like the good berries is probably the good berries, and the antelopeish splotch might be a good thing to poke with your pointy stick of choice.

Who told you to become an office worker? I said your business is fucked if all of your managers are as incompetent as you think, so change jobs. You know, like "work for a different employer who you think is competent”?

I do think it’s kind of ironic that you’re really indignant that someone who doesn’t know what you do might judge you, when you’re judging others because you don’t see the point to emails they sometimes send you, and you don’t know what they spend their time doing.

And they spend all their time forwarding these queries to people lower down the hierarchy and that’s all they do, eh?

You should probably get a new job if your company has that much dead weight and no direction.

So you can dismiss someone’s job because you, a person whose job it is to look at wagons, got an email you didn’t see the point of?

If they have the sheet, why do they need you to work there and look at the wagon at all?

Now, I know your job definitely has more to it than looking at wagons and confirming their existence.
My point is that the person who sent the email does too. It’s rare for a job to actually have no point and no work associated with it.

Given that office drone would cover any job that isn’t service, manufacturing or laborer, it’s not exactly surprising that you’d find one. I’m a software developer.

It’s almost always best to assume that other people’s jobs actually take some form of skill, because they always do. People get paid for a reason. Otherwise you fall into the trap of calling huge swaths of work “unskilled labor” and thinking they don’t deserve much pay, just because they’re just moving stuff around on the shop floor.

What do you think those emails the managers are sending are, if not work?

The thing you’re not accounting for is that work that primarily involves thought, which is what “office drones” are doing, aren’t productive in the same way that physical or service jobs are.
Looking off into space thinking is part of the work. People average about four hours of productive work in an eight hour day.

The thing you can’t do is get rid of half the people and then expect the other half to magically be eight hours productive per day. Businesses keep trying and weirdly it just tanks their output.

AI is not the panacea that so many people think it is. Do you feel happy when you need help with something you bought and you get an AI trying to offer you helpful articles or tips? I don’t. Do you want the same level of service from the entity that controls where your paycheck gets deposited or fixed your HSA contributions?

If you definition of work is butts in chairs typing, office workers don’t do too much work. But that’s a very naive definition of what most office workers are actually doing.

A partition for each thing you might want to change the size of is my rule, or to be able to wipe independently of the others.

I usually prefer lvm over actual partitions, since it does a better job letting me think about volumes as opposed to devices.

Boot gets a partition because it’s basically required. Home gets one so I can reinstall without mucking things up. The database directory gets one for similar reasons, a d because I might need to scale it up. The system itself gets one because it’s most likely to get wiped or need more space.
Most of these are actually lvm volumes.

At least in my state all drivers license applications do.
