I believe in evolutionary biology circles, they call that the great mistake. But hey, you get none of the calories and twice the taste :) /s

This 100%. Here's a life pro tip: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is the trademarked brand. The generic product (which is exactly the same thing) is "melamine sponge".
Depending on where you live, the Magic Eraser is an 4-5X more expensive than the equivalent generic on Amazon or eBay.
This is a great use of tech. With that said I find that the lines are blurred between "AI" and Machine Learning.
Real Question: Other than the specific tuning of the recognition model, how is this really different from something like Facebook automatically tagging images of you and your friends? Instead of saying "Here's a picture of Billy (maybe) " it's saying, "Here's a picture of some precancerous masses (maybe)".
That tech has been around for a while (at least 15 years). I remember Picasa doing something similar as a desktop program on Windows.
I run calibre off my desktop. You can enable the Calibre content server and it can serve up your books for download (or provide a web reader).
If you have an Android device, you can use something like Moon Reader (or any other reading app that supports epub or Pdf) to download content from the Calibre content server.
With respect to covers and metadata, Calibre can tag and fill in this info as well - out of the box it will scrape information from Amazon.
I've used this since 2015 or so. It runs well on limited resources (we have it on a $10 / month VPS), and is pretty straightforward to use and even extend.
The opensource version is great and fully functional. We have bought the extended reporting and bpm pack which was also well worth it. Honestly, I can't say enough nice things about it.
I also played through this for the first time this year and liked it alot.
The reviews for the game didn't do it justice. It wasn't breathlessly paced like the first Mass Effect game (which I liked), but it was really quite fun.
My backlog is so big I figure any game that I've played would qualify.
Ticket to Earth would be mine.
I am working my way through Yakuza 5 though which I'm really enjoying.

This 100%. I only figured this out 15 years after having started driving.
To add to this I tilt my rear view mirror (the one connected to the windshield) a little bit upwards to force me to sit a bit straighter and taller when I look at it. You slouch less so for long car trips your back ends up feeling a bit better.
