The entity formerly known as Quantum Device trying to swim the fediverse…
IMHO that broad conception is part of the abuse of the concept up to the point that another adjective (general, 🤷🏼♂️) must be added to recover its original intention… I have problems to recognise “inteligence” in a boosted decision tree… machine learning techniques looks to me much more appropriate as a concept
We call it AI but they are just pattern predictor tools in massive dimensions, one day a real AI will appear and will be ridiculous call these things from the AI era…
My home is so populated of symlinks of similar namings: capital leters, other languages,…
I indeed have the Super associated with arrows, the numbers and the hjkl ala vim, it became so intituive that I am even not sure which one I use more often since is usually task dependent…
Yes, I had to do that on windows, when the list of windows is long and due to a some times sensitive keyboard I end up doing it more than once even to return to the previous task… got to change my keyboard
Oh, I must explore it again, though some of those had already common usage… I have redundantly the Super + hjkl ala vim and use them also quite often
I see it like this: alt+tab only toggles among the two latest things, on a 3x3 grid win+arrows, on a tidy usage of some fixed desktops (one for browser, one for mail, one for current subject…), you have inmediate swaps to multiple relevant programs, not just the latest which also mutates… also it adds some visual mental distribution which I find extremely efficient… never went back and I struggle/frustrate with looking for stuff in a fixed bar… (I had to use quite often both types, so I feel the difference)
I got a 3x3 grid and now I swim accross them so naturally, visually and intuitively that I cannot stand anything else, 1 for spotify/system properties, 2 for firefox, 3 for thunderbird, the rest thematic for ocassional folder and dedicated programs, any one (two for diagonals) shortcut away from any other (win_key+arrows, with ctrl and shift combinations for window movement/fitting)… I will never comply back to anything else
…and that’s an accurate adjective
Thanks for the insight! Still I have problems to identify “inteligence” in brutte force approaches, otherwise looks like a linear regression algorithm would lie also under the category of AI, and the original idea of AI, which the Wikipedia acknowledges included “reasoning” capabilities, I feel has not been yet incorporated/disentangled in current predictive algorithms. Whether it rises from things like that, I think we are not there yet and all seems to me not different from a linear regression algorithm, which I do not feel “intelligent” enough to place under AI. But I think everything is too vage also and there is a lot of overselling (including Deep Blue’s “inteligence”).
