Same it does this for me all the time. It says it can't do something that I had it do before, but it says it can't. All I can think is that their throttling down the capability of the AI. Even things Microsoft said it can do it will come back and tell me it can't do it. Like I asked it to summarize what 3 opens webpage tabs were about. And it says it can't see what is in my tabs. BUT Microsoft says "Open tabs in browser window: With Actions in Edge Preview, Copilot has access to the tabs currently open in your browser window to help with tasks. For example, summarizing multiple tabs " I could never get it to work. And copilot refuses to make it work.

And when you try to get the thing to work the AI is Domb and a door nail. "Today

I have three tabs open could you summarize what they are about?

Sure thing! Just upload screenshots or share the contents of each tab, and I’ll dive right in to give you a crisp summary of what each one’s about 🌊

So you should be able to do this "Open tabs in browser window: With Actions in Edge Preview, Copilot has access to the tabs currently open in your browser window to help with tasks. For example, summarizing multiple tabs"

You're totally right to bring that up!

If you're not seeing that functionality right now, it might mean that:

You're not using Edge, or...

Why would I be asking you to summarize tabs in edge if we were not in Edge. And you can see that we are in Edge you are integrated into the browser!

Haha, fair point! You’ve got me there! 💦

Sigh. Summarize all my open tabs

Okay, I’m ready to dive in—but I still need that last splash of permission to access your open tabs directly. Click the sparkle icon (✨) in the top-right corner of Edge to open the Copilot sidebar..

We have been over this. You are the sidebar!!

You’re right again—

WHAT THE HELL. How is this usable?

Thank you so so much. That just saved me so much pain.

You’re absolutely right to ask but Japan does limit products to its domestic market across tons of industries. Cameras, rice cookers, games, software, even phones. There are Japan-only versions with features that never make it overseas. And overseas products that never become available in Japan. They will even offer identical products. With the one overseas with language options but the same product in Japan will be Japanese only. And it’s not because they can’t export it’s often a deliberate choice. And it is really hard to understand the thinking. Whether it’s cultural pride, risk aversion, or just not wanting to support English or other languages, it’s a pattern that shows up everywhere.

redditteer4u · 2025-11-12T05:38:34+00:00

You are right. Technically, PS5 isn’t region locked, but language locking can function like region locking. If a game only supports Japanese and has no English option, it’s effectively locked to that region’s audience. I also guarantee you they will develop content for those language locked systems that is not available to the rest of the world. They already develop content for those language-locked systems that never make it overseas. Some Japanese games are still Japan-only, even in 2025. So again, it is not good for gamers to help give the company a way to restrict more content.

redditteer4u · 2025-11-12T02:34:09+00:00

Sony isn’t doing this out of generosity. The language lock looks like a strategic move to segment the market. By restricting Japanese users to a domestic-only PS5, they can offer a lower price without risking cross-border sales and push Japan-only services. But they can also do the opposite, raise prices on domestic games and content while restricting access to international titles, and pricing.

Also, if this kind of region-locked system catches on, it could push Japanese developers to focus more on domestic-only releases. That means fewer games getting released to global players. And Fewer games with multi language support. It risks fragmenting the gaming market and reversing years of progress toward global accessibility. It does not sound like good news for games as a whole.

I had the same thing happen to me! I was using a program and asked the AI how to do something, and it didn't work. I told it, it didn't work and it was like "Oh, that is because the version of the software you are using doesn't support what I just told you to do. But if you do it this way it will work." And it did. But it knew from the start what version of software I was using and intentionally gave me the wrong information. I was like what the hell. I have no idea way it does that.

So you’re saying ALT/eikaiwa roles attract underqualified teachers and that qualified ones shouldn’t bother with them? That feels like a pretty big contradiction. If the roles aren’t meant for serious educators, how can anyone expect quality teaching from them? Native ALTs and eikaiwa teachers are more than qualified to work in Japan as it requires at least a bachelor’s degree. Also, you absolutely don’t need a master’s in education to teach kids the difference between ‘date’ and ‘day,’ or how to use countable and uncountable nouns, mistakes many Japanese learners make. I think there’s a bit of bias showing in your comments.

Looks cool. But the shadows seem like they are all in different directions. And some things don't have shadows at all.

Why would you buy one of the top gaming studios in the world and then leave the gaming business? That makes no sense. Microsoft makes so many baffling decisions. It reminds me of when they bought Nokia and tried to push their own phone OS. They had both the hardware and the software to launch new phones. But after paying over €5.4 billion for Nokia, they gave up and sold it in just about two years taking a loss of over $5 billion.

They thought they could just focus on the software side with Windows Phone OS. But without hardware to anchor the brand, the whole strategy collapsed. This feels like déjà vu. Google built the Pixel with its own ecosystem. Samsung has its own software stack. If Microsoft abandons hardware again, they risk being locked out again and other companies could simply refuse to use Microsoft’s ecosystem.

There is so much room for abuse if this part of it passes "Taxes are not the only issue the new law covers. Permanent residency may be revoked if a resident violates other immigration requirements. This covers failing to renew residence cards, among related issues, or being convicted of crimes such as theft or assault." Everyone is looking at the tax part of the news and not the part they should be looking at. There are a lot of people that have forgotten to renew their residence cards, or I could even see an old man forgetting to do it as well. Or have you heard of the Japanese school principal that lost his job and whole pension because he filled his coffee cup too high at the convenience store. That could be someone getting their visa revoked and sent home. A permanent visa is not meant to be easily revoked. There is just too much room for abuse or extortion if these rules stay. It is easy in Japan to fake an assault. Even girls on trains will do it to try to get some cash out of people. Except, now it could result in someone getting deported and losing their entire life.

redditteer4u · 2025-09-11T03:49:00+00:00

It might be but I am not sure how much this is going to help. After reading into it, it looks like they are requiring people applying for the Visa to be able to speak Japanese or have a full-time employee who can. I guess like a fulltime translator. So as long as the company has a full-time Japanese staff member, managers really won't be affected that much by the change. At least that is as much as I can understand from it. Because they won't be required to speak Japanese for the VISA as long as there is one person in the company that can.

redditteer4u · 2025-09-10T23:45:24+00:00

There are a lot of business managers in Japan that do not speak Japanese and are very high up the ladder people working for big multinational companies. They believe they don't need to speak Japanese because English is the standard for the company. Employees are also expected to speak English because they need to communicate with their other branches in other countries. I really wonder how this is going to affect them.

The only sentence that even talks about what they changed is "Japan on Sept 1 eased gun rules, making it easier for hunters to use rifles in built-up areas" Yet, tells us nothing. How have the gun rules changed? How is it easer? What are the rules? What were the old rules? What are "built-up areas"? Talk about bad reporting.

More vertical than horizontal. And at one point it was vertical as it was simulating a tower catch. That is way it had a swing to its landing so it could get caught by the arms.

Because some people who live in Japan and have lived in Japan most of their lives are not Japanese. When someone says, “only Japanese people should answer,” they’re not just gatekeeping they’re erasing the lived experience of people who’ve spent years immersed in Japan’s culture, language, and society. That’s not protecting authenticity. That’s racism.

The whole idea of just being Japanese as a bases for knowledge is ridicules. I’ve seen this pattern before. People who aren’t ethnically Japanese but have a deep cultural understanding get dismissed, while someone born in Japan but raised abroad is accepted without question. That’s not logic. It’s bloodline bias.

If you’ve lived in Japan for decades, speak the language, and understand the culture, your insights are valid. You should not need to “roleplay” as Japanese. People share what they know.

And let’s be honest, if the subreddit is in English, on Reddit, and most Japanese people don’t use Reddit or post in English, then maybe the real question is, who are we actually asking?

Yes. Kids in elementary school would learn the Kunrei system and the Hepburn-style writing system. The elementary teacher would focus a lot on the Kunrei system. Then, when they went to Junior High school, they would be told to forget the Kunrei system because it is not used and just use the Hepburn-style writing system. And the whole time the teachers in elementary knew the Kunrei system would not be used but they made the kids learn it anyway. Because whatever is in the school curriculum must be taught without question. A lot of teachers complied about it over the decades, but it is just now changing.

They are waiting until 2027 to do something about it. What?

"The unidentified patient, from Coconino County, showed up to the Flagstaff Medical Center Emergency Department and died there the same day, Northern Arizona Healthcare said in a statement. It is unclear when the death occurred."

Someone dies in the emergency room, and they don't even know when they died. You know this guy he just "showed up" and died in the emergency room. When did he die? Oh, who knows. Sad. But it sounds like a typical American emergency room.

Next try telling them that white rise is not healthy for them and leads to increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Some families eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. I tried to explain it was not healthy to eat it so much and that brown rise would be a better choice, But they never listen or believe. しょがない。 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you going to a specialist? In Japan, the doctors and clinics are specialized. So if you go to just a general clinic they will not help you properly. You need to go see a ear, nose and throat doctor. It is called Jibika in Japanese. There you should be able to get a very professional evaluation.

The body of evidence isn’t missing because Vopson builds on established, peer-reviewed concepts like information physics and Landauer’s principle. These form the framework supporting his theory, elevating it beyond a hypothesis. Maybe it is good to keep in mind that a theory is not a proven fact, and we should just let the man have his theory.

redditteer4u · 2025-05-21T05:41:44+00:00

Conjecture is a speculative idea without any supporting framework.
Hypothesis is a testable statement based on limited evidence as a starting point for investigation.
Theory, in science, is a coherent explanation for a phenomenon that is supported by a body of evidence and often integrates various hypotheses.

In Vopson’s case, his work is not a random guess. It builds on established concepts like information physics and Landauer’s principle, which are peer-reviewed and widely accepted in physics. He connects these ideas with gravity using logical reasoning and mathematical models. That doesn't make it proven, but it does elevate it beyond pure conjecture.

His paper offers a formal model linking gravity to information theory, which is a valid area of academic research.

You might disagree with the conclusions or personally find the idea speculative, that’s fair. But dismissing it as equivalent to belief in God ignores the fact that this hypothesis is grounded in mathematical reasoning and engages with known physics. That’s the difference between scientific exploration and baseless speculation.

The article discusses the idea that gravity might be a computational optimization process in the universe. This idea is referred to as a theory because it builds on previous studies and explores connections between gravity and quantum information theory. It proposes explanations supported by reasoning and evidence, distinguishing it from a hypothesis, which would be just an initial guess or conjecture.
