we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
have you met any doctors?

but also, that tweet is about the typed text autocorrect dictionary in Mac OS. evidently the autocorrect rules just rewrite words, including proper nouns

yes and like any other credentialed professional, getting them to understand computer is harder than getting a patient to understand portion control

the leck was predicting catastrophe when voice recognition met transcription and i momentarily forgot that the future (s?)he predicted would only come to be with the help of staggering ignorance

After all, if you’re not stuck behind the wheel, why does it matter how long your drive is? Driving six hours every day could seem less of a problem if commuters could spend the trip working, reading, or snagging a few more hours of sleep.

I think a lot of businesses would rather do this to achieve more predictable outcomes over potentially optimal ones, even at a slightly higher total price. of course once it's been in place long enough for the team that bought it to have cycled out there will be a ruthless optimization press that will make the humans' lives hell

I mean this stuff had better be worth its license fee, it'll be immediately obvious if it's not. stuff like salesforce einstein is $25/seat/month

They only do that on the show so that the camera can hear both sides of the conversation, but everybody sees the Kardashians doing that so now they've just started imitating them because that's how rich socialites in Beverly Hills use their phones, I guess, it's just the trend

i haven't ever watched an episode of the kardashians but i sometimes hold my phone like that. i may have learned it from others who learned it from the kardashians but mostly it's a comfort thing.

predictabiltiy is the key thing really, if it's 10,000 of the same document where options for each bit are a,b or c then easy, train away and you're good, if it's 10,000 documents which have 900 different permutations and the content is things like "such terms as agreed from time to time" or "yolo" written in marker then you're gonna need people involved and if that's not paralegal's then it means actual legal people and they hate that poo poo. so far, once that's been realised it's swung back to "pay people until they get too expensive or the tech gets cheaper".

in the UK it is/was called "the apprecentice grip" because the morons in the older seasons of the tv show held their blackberries like that so they could hear both sides of the conversation on camera.

document review is one of the only jobs many lawyers can get and is mind numbing and tedious but so far hasn't been algorithmically replaced. once that happens a non-trivial percentage of lawyers are going to be added to the already impressive glut of unemployed lawyers.
