  • On Using AI For Commercial Uses

    Jump

  • Our plant manager likes to use it to summarize meetings (Copilot). It in fact does not summarize to a bullet point list in any useful way. Breakes the notes into a headers for each topic then bullet points The header is a brief summary. The bullet points? The exact same summary but now broken by sentences as individual points. Truly stunning work. Even better with a "Please review the meeting transcript yourself as AI might not be 100% accurate" disclaimer.

    Truely worthless.

    That being said, I've a few vision systems using an "AI" to recognize product that doesn't meet the pre taught pattern. It's very good at this

  • What do office workers actually do?

  • Is your site currently losing about 1/3 of it's area to an outside company who bought a division and the apparently completely sane plan is to seperate off that area and duplicate prexisting structures (HR, Warehouse, Quality) for the new company?

    But yeah Patient safety comes first. As long as the lines don't go down. Or too slow. Or don't get stopped from speeding up at the planned rate.

    For a business where the FDA WILL show up unannounced and audit, we sure do love to push back against quality.

  • We're making medical product, and are 13485 and 9001 regulated. It's concerning the number of times I've had to fight with supervisors because I deemed it important to loop Quality in on my changes and made a task take longer and they didn't agree with the choice.

  • As a manufacturing engineer, I'm mostly in an office when I'm not actively dicking about on the production floor or talking with my production operators. Most of my desk time is

    1. Answering questions from people who aren't me about my manufacturing lines: specifications, output, inputs, could I do experiment XYZ if they sent me info. Subject Matter Expert is the term the company uses. Debatable if it's accurate, but it's the expectation.
    2. Answering stupid questions for people who could absolutely open an app or walk and look in person but would rather be handed the info.
    3. Collaboration with other employees: be it Quality as to what hoops I need to jump through to do something, providing process data relevant to a manufacturing defect they were alerted to, pestering other engineers to see if they've done anything like what I'm up to because it's a good shortcut, or trying to work out how to use a system I'm unfamiliar with.
    4. Tracking output metrics: Management loves the same numbers tracked 5 different ways and having them reported to them constantly.
    5. Meeting prep: either making a slideshow, crunching data to present, updating a project tracker (see above), or reading all the relevant emails associated with the meeting because earlier I super just skimmed them for anything I was required to do urgently. 7: Tinkering on things at my desk: familiarizing myself with new equipment/parts, testing an idea out of scraps/easily sourced parts before I ask our Tool and Die team to draw up a design for something sturdier/more expensive, or rooting through boxes for things I inherited relevant to that manufacturing line when I was assigned to it.
    6. Messaging folks on teams: lunch plans, thoughts on recent events, or even just sending memes, gifs, ASCII middle fingers to people I like. General screwing around.

  • Heat maybe? Hair in general helps trap heat, and in the rainforest that's not so helpful. Hot and humid I imagine you want that sweat to evaporate as fast as possible. All the airflow.

  • Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting taken into custody after being recognized at McDonald’s

    Jump

  • Do they plant the evidence on him in the McDonald's, or is it just in a bag at the station and it's "found on him" when they search him there? Planting it publicly seems hard. Would have to give every officer a bag of "evidence" or know who was going to respond to the call. Besides the whole not getting seen planting it by the public.

  • GOP senator introduces bill to legally erase transgender people

    Jump

  • I'll agree someone saying they are are a girl/boy or trans isn't sexual. Gender isn't inherently sexual. Someone being gay/straight feels like it's absolutely sexual. Implied with the"sexual" in homo or heterosexual. You could have nonsexual gay/straight thoughts/feelings I guess, but those are just feelings. Like, ANYONE is allowed to have them regardless of orientation, and honestly sounds like it's bordering on asexual. Do you have a learning example for that line of thought? Before any angry blowback: I'm not trying to be a dick about this. As far as my understanding of this goes, I don't follow that comment.

  • Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four

  • For manufacturing I've taken to using spelled out numbers when quantities and names both use numbers. Four 4s rather than 4 4s. Makes it harder for someone to speed through an email and get the completey wrong information.
