Just a friendly reminder:We are closer to the Y2038 bug than the Y2K bug.

@GeoffWozniak @thomasfuchs @fribbledom To be fair, we have definitely figured out GIs. It only takes about nine months to produce a new one, followed by a three-year training period until they begin providing insight.The real work is on cutting down that time.

@wizzwizz4 @thomasfuchs @fribbledom I don't believe that is true for a lot of cases. It is true for some.It works decent for content recognition, but it still can't get spam right (it's okay) and it's just terrible and outright wrong with hiring, along with pretty much every other major thing.It can be considered "working" if you see the insights based on your own and existing biases.

@GeoffWozniak @thomasfuchs @fribbledom You're talking about the models that have been trained for a decade or more, right? Those are incredibly prone to overfitting; avoid using them for anything important.

@funnypanja The UNIX timestamp is used by many computers to record the time of events. It counts the seconds that have elapsed since Jan 1st 1970.But numbers in computers can't be arbitrarily big, because you need to designate a certain amount of memory to them. As such UNIX timestamps were defined to allocate 32 bits of information, which lets you store numbers up to 2,147,483,647.In 2038 more seconds than that will have passed, and it could lead to problems not unlike the Y2K bug.

@fribbledom @funnypanja I've been reading a book and it's set approximately 6000 years in the future and the unix timestamp is the primary measurement of time, you have ksec, msec, gsec, etc.It was simpler than trying to keep sync with local times.

@gudenau Many things have switched to 64 bit time values, yes, but they're not unsigned.@funnypanja

@Parnikkapore @wizzwizz4 @thomasfuchs @fribbledom Heh. :)It totally matches the rhetoric in the stuff I read about it.

@GeoffWozniak @Parnikkapore @thomasfuchs @fribbledom And your analysis applies perfectly well to most adult humans.
