"...I think you ought to take a stress pill and think things over...Dave?..."

I want to speak with your supervisor. I worked in a call center for a big insurance company. We actually used three-ring binders (this was only a year ago) and had dummy terminals--probably a form of UNIX. The three-ring binders contained our "scripts", all the approved statements/answers to questions that we could use. It was amazing how we would all gravitate toward one or two golden answers that would relate to many questions.

We even had an answer for "Are you reading from a script?" "Yes, reading from a script ensures that your information is accurate and consistent with law blaw blah". I thought it might be easier if we all had PDAs with keyword search, because we would literally be flipping through that binder, stalling with "I will have your information in a moment", or, "let me see...the...answer...to...your...question...is..."

Oftentimes we would be reading information that they just heard on the automated system. It seems to sink in better when a unique voiceprint/timbre is regurgitating the answer and not a chipper recording.

Anyhow, many people had the automatic habit of asking for my supervisor (another scripted response: "I am trained and qualified to answer any question you may have... Would you still like to speak with a supervisor?"). I wonder if that is a valid question for the chatbots. It is a legitimate concern for some people--there was a marked difference in the depth and confidence between the supervisors and most of the CSRs on the floor.

Ask for the supervisor next time, and make a point of absolutely refusing until you get one. I don't know how the bot (or if it is a human) will deal with that--probably by refusing with a canned response. I would then get--as in "Dark Star"--phenomenological on their ass.

Ahahhahaa! I like the "Dark Star phenomenological" idea.

Excellent points about the robotized behavior of humans in customer-service work. I worked the phones for a summer once, with a pollster, and similarly had to stick to the script. Which is, as we've pointed out before in these pages, the gorgeous irony of today's A.I. and customer service: The robots are seeming more and more human, while the humans are getting increasingly robotic.

I am finding the reality of AI and that robotic client service is more convienent and easily more desirable than their generally lowtech lowlife human counterparts.
I cant recall one instance of robotic gum-chewing or bad-hair days that left me so infuriated that I find myself screaming in to the phone for a supervisor and spewing promises to rain hell, like Max Cady in Cape Fear, on there worthless cubefarming asses.
But I am an angry sort of fellow.....

It's true -- there are definitely times when I'd *rather* deal with a robot!

There are times when I'd rather *be* a robot.

Nice site. thx.

Each Stack Frame represents a function. The bottom frame is always the main function, and the frames above it are the other functions that main calls. At any given time, the stack can show you the path your code has taken to get to where it is. The top frame represents the function the code is currently executing, and the frame below it is the function that called the current function, and the frame below that represents the function that called the function that called the current function, and so on all the way down to main, which is the starting point of any C program.

For this program, it was a bit of overkill. It's a lot of overkill, actually. There's usually no need to store integers in the Heap, unless you're making a whole lot of them. But even in this simpler form, it gives us a little bit more flexibility than we had before, in that we can create and destroy variables as we need, without having to worry about the Stack. It also demonstrates a new variable type, the pointer, which you will use extensively throughout your programming. And it is a pattern that is ubiquitous in Cocoa, so it is a pattern you will need to understand, even though Cocoa makes it much more transparent than it is here.

This is another function provided for dealing with the heap. After you've created some space in the Heap, it's yours until you let go of it. When your program is done using it, you have to explicitly tell the computer that you don't need it anymore or the computer will save it for your future use (or until your program quits, when it knows you won't be needing the memory anymore). The call to simply tells the computer that you had this space, but you're done and the memory can be freed for use by something else later on.

Each Stack Frame represents a function. The bottom frame is always the main function, and the frames above it are the other functions that main calls. At any given time, the stack can show you the path your code has taken to get to where it is. The top frame represents the function the code is currently executing, and the frame below it is the function that called the current function, and the frame below that represents the function that called the function that called the current function, and so on all the way down to main, which is the starting point of any C program.

When a variable is finished with it's work, it does not go into retirement, and it is never mentioned again. Variables simply cease to exist, and the thirty-two bits of data that they held is released, so that some other variable may later use them.

Let's see an example by converting our favoriteNumber variable from a stack variable to a heap variable. The first thing we'll do is find the project we've been working on and open it up in Project Builder. In the file, we'll start right at the top and work our way down. Under the line:

To address this issue, we turn to the second place to put variables, which is called the Heap. If you think of the Stack as a high-rise apartment building somewhere, variables as tenets and each level building atop the one before it, then the Heap is the suburban sprawl, every citizen finding a space for herself, each lot a different size and locations that can't be readily predictable. For all the simplicity offered by the Stack, the Heap seems positively chaotic, but the reality is that each just obeys its own rules.

When a variable is finished with it's work, it does not go into retirement, and it is never mentioned again. Variables simply cease to exist, and the thirty-two bits of data that they held is released, so that some other variable may later use them.

Since the Heap has no definite rules as to where it will create space for you, there must be some way of figuring out where your new space is. And the answer is, simply enough, addressing. When you create new space in the heap to hold your data, you get back an address that tells you where your new space is, so your bits can move in. This address is called a Pointer, and it's really just a hexadecimal number that points to a location in the heap. Since it's really just a number, it can be stored quite nicely into a variable.
