      I was working the SIUC eclipse physics table yesterday doing nothing but explaining how magnets work. So, magnetism is based on subatomic particles known as domains, imagine tiny magnets because they all have a north and south end, and you get a magnet when all the domains in your thing line up nice and uniform, helping eachother out and amplifying their strength. Now, non-magnets have their domains completely scrambled. The way those screwdriver magnetizers work is just either making the domains neat and tidy or screwing it all up to charge or discharge it respectively.

    As a former Chef with decades of experience in the industry I gotta say something... you went on about how basic it is; "all it is, is ON/OFF" and well really... that is basically all cookery is in a nutshell.
    We're taught the "Ts" in culinary school; Temperature, Timing, Texture, Taste etc. and how to master these concepts to become a great cook because well, almost all of cookery can be boiled down to the simple concept of managing the temperature and timing of the food as it cooks. Are you cooking something hot and fast like a stir-fry in a wok? Or low and slow like a stew in a pot? Understanding the key concepts about the relationship between heat and timing is foundational to cooking. And with that simple knowledge, which is taught to first year apprentice chefs, you should be able to cook anything.
    Are you cooking a steak and want that char/caramelisation? Then you need a relative high heat in the beginning to sear the outside of the meat, then you would "manage" the temperate and bring it to a medium heat dependant on whether you want a med-rare or well-done steak. Being a good chef is understand how to manage that heat to prevent the steak from burning on the outside, while still cooking the inside to your liking.
    Literally 99% of cookery can be broken down to "switching the heat ON/OFF" as you criticized the rice cooker gadget for being. When really, it's how us professionals actually cook.
    Chefs are literally just glorified magnets lifting pots and pans off burners to manage how "fast" or "hot" they cook to get the dish you desire.
    A "fuzzy logic" rice cooker is just a Chef without all the drug addiction, trauma and unreliability.

Then we went through electric (fun fact, Triscuts are called that because they were cooked in electric ovens, and marketed as "Electricity Biscuits"), on to jet, atomic, solid-state, space-age, funky, computerized, "2000", e-thingy, iThingy, HD, na-no, smart, cloud, blorkchain, and now, "AI".

    Yeah it was cool and all, but it didn't take a cyber security expert to realize your whole network and devices connected to it were compromised thanks to a lowly appliance with the flimsiest security and also you got an app that knows who what kind of information was gathering from you, it was like the Bonzi Buddy for contemporary adults.

    This rice cooker is an analogue controller. Fuzzy logic is an old algorithm, been around for decades and can be considered a rudimentary AI. Usually it will have a feedback loop of sorts so it can make a more informed decision of what to do. In the case you mentioned with the on off, it will choose how long on or off, or even control it by how on or off it is (fractions of your on or off like water coming from the tap).

    • @therealsunnyk
      @therealsunnyk Před měsícem +13

      I remember it was a buzz word in the 90s because it sounded cool. In short as you say, yeah it's analog logic, so instead of being binary "on" or "off" it can make "maybe" decisions. This means you can critically damp a system "faster" than with a setpoint. In short it should cook rice slightly faster and maybe nicer?

    I did a ton of research on rice cookers. If you want a no-bs, built like it was in the 50s, indestructible rice cooker that also has a double boiler to prevent burning, you want a Tatung. I bought the TAC-06L and it's built like a chunk of stone. It has a single lever and the whole thing is stainless steel. No toxic nonstick surfaces, no plastic touching the food. Everything can be thrown into the dishwasher including the lids and inner pot. It's expensive as hell but after using it for a while, worth every penny. I'm not affiliated, just a huge fan of this relatively unheard of brand in the Western world. Not a bot or advertisement, I'm just tired of the over-engineered landfill and I've been making a concerted effort to BIFL. Edit: Oh and I learned that nonstick wasn't even necessary. With the double boiler nothing has stuck to it. You don't even need it, the stainless steel works great.

Any variable you want to account for, you can just do the math ahead of time and program it in. That's the only "AI" you need. People do the thinking, with Taguchi Orthogonal Arrays and whatever, and you tell a chip "do this when this happens". And that's what they did here despite the stupid marketing. We've been doing it in machines by using relays and clockwork since before the transistor even existed!

    The current wave of "AI devices" reminds me a lot of a previous wave of "smart appliances". Oh, look, your toaster can connect to your phone via an app and bluetooth! Why would you want a toaster that does this? Fuck if I know, but it means they can charge an extra thirty bucks!

    Honestly as a musician and recording engineer, the Audient evo sp8 has intriguing ai assisted auto gain control for all 8ins and the integration of ai in ableton live 12 is sick. The similar drum sound feature and many others

    I can prove it has a timer inside in some models by plugging it to a DC to AC inverter which outputs power lower than what the rice cooker handles
    in a stage the voltage decreases, and in a stage it stops

    It’s funny how “A.I.” is the big buzzword at the moment because you’ll hear people say things like “I can’t wait for Siri to get updated with A.I.!”

    Pro tips for Rice;
    Wash it first - put the desired amount into a strainer and rinse it til the water is clear.
    Put a splash of oil in it - like we're talking 1-2 drops of so. This helps a little to prevent the rice from going claggy and it also helps with the flavor a bit too.

      bit of a yapp
      remember AI being a buzzword around 2010s and seen stuff like butter in a box from 90s that was AI, its a forever buzzword that shows up in cycles where it can do something new and after a while people figure out how limited it is so it goes back to bench until it get forgotten and again in a flat circle, same as smart appliances and stuff

      Usually yes, but in this case, Micom rice cookers literally contain decision making logic to affect the cook of the rice, so this product does literally contain AI. sure TEFAL is probably hoping people assume it can run doom too, but that's on poor education and predatory marketing.
