  • Changes the torque and the application of said torque for each bolt. As in “tool head has 5° of give until in place, then in ramps torque to 5nM over half a second, and holds for 1 second and then ramps to zero over .1 seconds”, and then something different for the next bolt. Then it logs that it did this for each bolt.
    The tool can also be used to measure and correct the bolts as part of an inspection phase, and log the results of that inspection.
    Finally, it tracks usage of the tool and can log that it needs maintenance or isn’t working correctly even if it’s just a subtle failure.


  • Look at their actions, not their words specifically.

    It’s a culture where being unkind is particularly unacceptable, not specifically where you’re not allowed to be honest or forthright.

    You’re allowed to not like someone, but telling someone you dislike them is needlessly unkind, so you just politely decline to interact with them.
    You’d “hate to intrude”, or “be a bother”. If it’s pushed, you’ll “consider it and let them know”.

    Negative things just have to be conveyed in the kindest way possible, not that they can’t be conveyed.


  • We should also ban long hair.

    I’m sure plenty of women only prefer to have long hair because they think they would be shunned or stan out if they cut it short.

    I’m all for people getting to wear their hair like they want, but I’m confident that many women would actually prefer to wear their hair short, and so can’t be trusted to make that choice for themselves or express an honest opinion about it.

    The first step in women’s liberation is making it clear that they lack agency and that other people know what’s best for them.


  • That’s sorta the point of it.
    I can recreate the phrase “apple pie” in any number of styles and fonts using my hands and a writing tool. Would you say that I “contain” the phrase “apple pie”? Where is the letter ‘p’ in my brain?

    Specifically, the AI contains the relationship between sets of words, and sets of relationships between lines, contrasts and colors.
    From there, it knows how to take a set of words, and make an image that proportionally replicates those line pattern and color relationships.

    You can probably replicate the Getty images watermark close enough for it to be recognizable, but you don’t contain a copy of it in the sense that people typically mean.
    Likewise, because you can recognize the artist who produced a piece, you contain an awareness of that same relationship between color, contrast and line that the AI does. I could show you a Picasso you were unfamiliar with, and you’d likely know it was him based on the style.
    You’ve been “trained” on his works, so you have internalized many of the key markers of his style. That doesn’t mean you “contain” his works.
