Here's the obvious solution that none of these companies will implement. Don't create an AI that purports to know anything. They don't. Instead, make one that can explain it's answers or reasoning and doesn't pretend to understand anything.
Nobody knows how to do that, at least not for a model of useful size. It would have to be reasoning in order to explain, but they aren't doing that.
The speed sensitive cruise control systems should not permit you to choose a following distance which is so excessively close.
They don't. That is one of the chief complaints about adaptive cruise control systems by people
The systems do in fact allow you to choose less than 3 seconds' following distance. People are literally complaining that the system won't let them drive unsafely.
The more space you have between cars the faster you can safely move on the road in question which also means the higher the road capacity.
The faster you go, the more space you need between cars to maintain safe following distance. If I have a safe following distance between me and the car ahead, if someone merges into that space then I no longer have safe following distance, so now we need even more space. At commute times there is not enough road available for all the cars to have safe following distance at speed. This is what happens on any overutilized road. If you wait for that much distance to appear then traffic backs up at the point of entry.
Yes, because all of the other things which are illegal have had the incentive to do them reduced to zero.
It makes it feasible to punish the biggest offenders, who are engaging in the bulk of the crime. Whether it actually happens is another question, but at least it does sometime.
This has the added benefit of using something a bit more stable than the US dollar, which doesn't have a fixed supply because they keep printing more of it.
They also destroy it, but they should be printing more of it (and not destroying the same amount) when GDP expands.
Tracking is the root problem. Remove tracking and you remove the imbalance and drive behind collecting all that meta data in the first place.
Tracking is only the way the data is gathered.
Make it illegal to sell the data and then you make it possible for the authorities to do something about it, which reduces much of the drive behind etc etc.
I used the root on ZFS instructions for Debian and they worked pretty well for Devuan. You have to change some commands and package names a little bit for sysvinit instead of systemd, but everything you need is in the repos.
I did my install with Devuan 4, but I upgraded and am now running Devuan 5 with kernel 6.6.13, and pipewire/wireplumber. The only vestige of PoetteringOS on my system is pulseaudio, which is not running. It's there for the client libraries, and for the package dependency for volume controls for X desktops.
It's not a big deal to just have more libraries installed in most cases. It would be nice if it were a little easier, though. You can have as many versions of whatever library around as you want, that's not a problem, but then there's those libraries' associated resource files in
This is like some sort of dystopian nightmare. Heck, I wouldn't even consider the idea of living in an apartment let alone this. All my friends also live in houses (without roommates). I don't think I know a single person who rents. The "Let's Be Buds" FAQ states that utilities are not included and people have mandatory chores. In the town where I live the only folks living in such a communal arrangement are prisoners. I think being in Federal prison would still be preferable than living in SF
What you call dystopian a liberal voter calls acceptable.
You get what you vote for. Fuck ‘em if they refuse to learn, because I refuse to believe their “victim” excuses anymore. It’s hardly Americas fault San Francisco has turned into a shithole. That’s on the citizens of SF.
SF is no different than any other city other than having a climate that makes it easier for the homeless to not die of exposure. Cities are dirty, cramped places. I don't understand why people willingly choose to live in them, but they do. They vote liberal because they lean young, and young people lean liberal.
Their politics have almost zero to do with cities being s**tholes. Republicans manage to turn beautiful places into s**tholes just as quickly. They just ruin things in different ways — Democrats by not mandating psychological treatment for people who are wandering the streets because of severe mental health problems and by allowing them to ignore the rules of society without consequence, Republicans by cutting funding for the mental health services that they need to keep them off the streets and by throwing people into jails where they don't get adequate mental health treatment and end up coming out even more screwed up than they were when they went in.
Both parties absolutely suck, and people who claim otherwise are kidding themselves.
it is a fact that people largely think that crosswalks grant universal, absolute right-of-way. They do not, right-of-way does not include a privilege of violating the right of way of other vehicles/pedestrians. If it did, right of way would mean nothing.
A cross walk does not grant you the right to step out into the street when a vehicle is coming.
This is dependent on state law. In California, it does unless the crosswalk is at a controlled intersection, where only the lights and signs can grant the right of way. We now have no jaywalking laws, and when you are not in a defined crosswalk, you do not have the right of way as a pedestrian. When you are then you do.
A cross walk does not convey a right to violate a vehicle's right of way.
Pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way in California.
We also recently got a law saying that you can't park within I forget how many feet (20?) of a crosswalk or corner unless there are curb extensions. So now they are putting curb extensions in towns all over so they don't lose parking. I actually heard some people complain about how this was going to cause damage to vehicles driving over the curb extensions, it was fairly hilarious. Like uh, open your eyes and look you schmucks.
Apple's part of our GDP is 263 billion annually. Like them or not, that's good for America.
It's good mostly for the owning class, though, since trickle down doesn't. Remember, the money is spent five times or so if it's handed to the poor, or only a couple of times if it's handed to the wealthy, before it sits around like a turd and stops employing anyone because it's no longer being spent.
Apple got to where it is now with the iPhone. Full stop. It was not a fluke, nor did it come out of the blue since the iPhone could not have happened without the Newton before it, because that was the motivation for Apple's investment in ARM.
As such, Apple should be continually casting a wide net to find the next thing. That means knowing that you will throw a certain amount of R&D money into the void and hoping that it will work out for you one day because you own the IP. This is, once again, a necessary and large portion of how the iPhone came to be such a wild success for Apple. The Newton was never a financial success for Apple even though they tried several iterations, and finally gave up on the platform entirely. But once the maturity of the mobile hardware had advanced sufficiently that the same OS that ran on the desktops could run on affordable handhelds, that experience and the foundation laid with the hardware could pay off. If Apple doesn't continue to make those attempts, then they are setting themselves up for eventual failure.
They obviously know this, and they have in fact pursued a reasonably diverse set of potential opportunities including automotive applications and AR, but as they are swollen with cash it is also reasonable to argue that they ought to be doing more. If they want the best chance at the next big thing, they've got to keep trying more new things. It also, by the way, employs more people...
It seems like the sensible fix is to make it possible to pull that data from one Mastodon server to the next, whether this creates a standard or not is irrelevant to the particular problem. With my complete ignorance of the codebase this seems relatively trivial as tasks go given that they already have syndication features in the platform, but as there are many things I don't know about it perhaps there's some reason why this is difficult.
Let me expand on my statement. In my last comment in this thread, and as I stated, I was calling out the moderators who sought to suppress my questions.
In my comment before that, I was first asking you to support your assertion about the necessity of slavery, and secondly (and at least to some degree separately) I was asking you to support the idea that he deserved some slack because he was old. He's supposed to be a significant character not only for his factual observations but for his moral ones, so I'm inclined to hold him to a higher standard than average. Even at the time there were those who were not slaves who yet opposed slavery.
You can't just say slavery was a necessity and expect to go unopposed, can you?
Some believe Jesus was an Essene, and they were into studying books, so if he existed and he was an essene then it's conceivable that he learned to read in the decades of his life where nothing was written about him.
