Hmm. I think in philosophy that thought experiment is known as chinese room

Hmmh. But I mean even that also applies in reverse. Also the "pronouns people" don't say it's their biggest problem. At least the ones I've ever met. So Greens post has the same logical shortcomings as I have.

Yeah, I think I get it. I mean the analogy is a bit flawed. What she invented is that alike synchronizing the rolls of player pianos, you could build a mechanism that hops frequencies (instead of piano keys) to make remote controlling torpedos resilient against jamming.

Idk. To me it feels like calling the inventor of three-wheeled vehicles the father/mother of cars, if we want to stay with that analogy. It's remotely related, not an integral part and nowadays solved differently. But the first car was a tricycle. (Benz Patent-Motorwagen)

But I don't want to invalidate her achievements either... It's one (important) contribution to technology. And it's not always that one single person invents the whole concept of a radio. Or a car. And get's to be the whole parent of it. Things build upon each other. Sometimes it needs a lot of contributions of several individuals to make something possible... Nowadays more so than in the old times.

dude, chill. it's like 2am. that's a good time to chirp like a cricket... 😆

That pronouns isn't a legitimate problem to have, because "what about" more severe problems in life. That Green is implying to trade with the non-issue (or lesser issue) of pronouns.

Hehehe, you can call her the mother of early 802.11 and Bluetooth.

You're right. I implied that with the "additionally". I don't like Ruby on Rails and all the resource usage of Mastodon anyways. I'd like something more efficient and with less frameworks involved.

But that's not part of 802.11n or 802.11g or "a" or what we call "Wifi"... 802.11 in itself is a pretty long standard, including all kinds of different things.

I too think it's useful. Also the "who needs it" isn't really an argument. If you can fit it in and people are willing to pay for it... Why not? I mean who needs 5 regular cameras in their phone? One with a marcro lens, one fisheye and one tele plus a regular one plus one on the front... I mean in a normal phone as of todaz the additional flir camera isn't really changing much.

Wifi doesn't use frequency hopping. That's bluetooth.
