"They often sound like eunuchs with law degrees, or techies who are in dire need of sun exposure on their nuts.

Ending a statement as a question seems to shift the burden of authority?

It's a sly way to avoid committing to any position on anything, whereby all is fluid.

and your listener interjects and "uh-huh" right then and there, while you are talking"

It has been said that Americans speak to communicate ideas while the Japanese speak to establish rapport. Japanese typically never commit to anything but always end their sentences with a question "desu ne?" and start saying "hai hai", yes, yes, almost as soon as the speaker starts a sentence. If the speaker is Japanese then the verb being at the end of the sentence enables the speaker to gauge whether the listener is really in agreement and if not, to change the adjectives in the middle before concluding with a questioning verb at the end.

The film is known for a plot device that involves various characters providing subjective, alternative, self-serving and contradictory versions of the same incident. Rashomon marked the entrance of Japanese film onto the world stage;[3][4] it won several awards, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1951, and an Academy Honorary Award at the 24th Academy Awards in 1952, and is considered one of the greatest films ever made. The Rashomon effect is named after the film.

The Rashomon effect occurs when an event is given contradictory interpretations by the individuals involved. The effect is named after Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon, in which a murder is described in four contradictory ways by four witnesses.[1] The term addresses the motives, mechanism and occurrences of the reporting on the circumstance and addresses contested interpretations of events, the existence of disagreements regarding the evidence of events and subjectivity versus objectivity in human perception, memory and reporting.

bliss looks to be something like serenity

Sometimes spirituality seems too ascetic, narrow, and unbalanced.

In this case, the process is known as data annotation, and it’s quietly become a bedrock of the machine learning revolution that’s churned out advances in natural language processing, machine translation, and image and object recognition. The thought is, AI algorithms only improve over time if the data they have access to can be easily parsed and categorized — they can’t necessarily train themselves to do that. Perhaps Alexa heard you incorrectly, or the system thinks you’re asking not about the British city of Brighton, but instead the suburb in Western New York. When dealing in different languages, there are countless more nuances, like regional slang and dialects, that may not have been accounted for during the development process for the Alexa support for that language.

In many cases, human beings make those calls, by listening to a recording of the exchange and correctly labeling the data so that it can be fed back into the system. That process is very broadly known as supervised learning, and in some cases it’s paired with other, more autonomous techniques in what’s known as semi-supervised learning. Apple, Google, and Facebook all make use of these techniques in similar ways, and both Siri and Google Assistant improve over time thanks to supervised learning requiring human eyes and ears.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists on Wednesday revealed the first image ever made of a black hole, depicting a fiery orange and black ring of gravity-twisted light swirling around the edge of the abyss.

The picture, assembled from data gathered by eight radio telescopes around the world, shows the hot, shadowy lip of a supermassive black hole, one of the light-sucking monsters of the universe theorized by Einstein more than a century ago and confirmed by observations for decades. It is along this edge that light bends around itself in a cosmic funhouse effect.

‘‘We have seen what we thought was unseeable. We have seen and taken a picture of a black hole. Here it is,’’ said Sheperd Doeleman of Harvard, leader of a team of about 200 scientists from 20 countries.

No one has access to the consciousness I appear to be seeing

From my view, bliss looks to be something like serenity, and serenity seems to arise from a lack of assessment or evaluation. Things can go almost any way, and the differences don't seem to matter.
