You have to tax or ban products that use difficult-to-recycle packaging. Waste has a negative value and negative externality. You can't let the free market fix the problem.

Some countries have a $2 of CRV equivalent. That's enough for people to put in the effort to recycle. Alternatively, you can require manufacturers to buy back the waste.

Directly subsidizing building of factories that make highly recyclable or compostable packaging is another option.

Durable goods don't really need recycling rules. We don't use enough for it to matter. Only large objects like cars and buildings need special waste handling.

Touching your passenger has all sorts of potential legal risks, even if most drivers don't realize it.

Self-driving taxis can just build a vibration function into the passenger seats. Once the passenger takes more than 5 minutes to leave, they should flag the ride for a human to check what's going on through the cameras.

An LLM is highly accurate if you provide the relevant text directly in its context. So if you want a better search, you can do RAG, which is use the LLM to generate search terms, pull the relevant text from a database, then use the LLM again to massage the result.

You do realize it doesn't matter whether you like the ideology or not right? Only what the leadership in China thinks matters.

Unfortunately for them, the few examples of Communist dictatorships they can reference all failed, so as far as I can tell, they've gone back to what worked for the previous 2000 years.

That's for the people. For the government, it's about acting with moral virtue and taking care of the masses (so they're convinced to not revolt). You can contrast it with the main alternative government philosophy of the time, which is legalism (basically ruling with strict laws and crushing rebellions with force).

I don't like Microsoft Office, but I don't like LibreOffice any better. They both mess up and do things in ways that I don't like by default.

Good luck convincing the owners of the parking lots to pay for it.

The average is quite low.

And this stopped in 2007 when macOS started sandboxing user apps by default.

Generally, yeah. If it manages to escape a properly setup sandbox and do destructive shit totally beyond scope, then ok, I'll blame the company.

In general, yes. Security should be priority one always.

Yeah. And who's paying to do all that work? Assuming it can actually be pulled off everywhere (it can't).

No, these people are below the average. Significantly. Otherwise there would be waaaay more problems and rerports.

I bet you could convince a lot of them. Especially non-families and those who only drive a little around town. I could buy Honda Civic Hybrid, which still requires gas, or I could get an Aptera for the same price and never pay for gas and almost never pay for electricity to charge it. I'll take the Aptera. It's a better value all around. I can take the Aptera camping and it'll be useful; a Civic Hybrid would be useless other that getting me there.

Exactly that. We've been running wires for more EV charging over a decade and it's still not good enough. Not to mention running wires costs money. Charging via wires costs money. Charging via the sun costs nothing. Also you can't run wires everywhere. My apartment complex isn't going to wire everyone's parking spaces for EVs even if gas cars went extinct and only EVs remained. We aren't, and shouldn't, run wires out to various camp sites in national parks. The solar panels work everywhere, even while it's driving.

This should also be done, separately, unrelated to EVs. Solar panels on every roof should basically be mandatory, imo. We have already made solar shingles (as opposed to just panels) so we should just force companies to stop making any other form of shingle. Force all new construction and replacement roofs to use solar shingles. But this would anger all the businesses that install and/or supply roofing that don't have any investments in solar.

Seeing as the average American drives less than 40 miles in a day (Europeans are even lower), that amount of solar power is perfect. For almost everyone, you could charge it to full once and then subsist almost completely on solar to recharge the daily usage.

These people deliberately changed default settings to be unsafe, ignored instructions, and ignored warnings about the danger. You don't need to be an expert, you just have to not be a complete retard.

It doesn't.

Not in my experience. All of them had reasonable defaults that wouldn't have allowed this. And, specifically, these two were using the ChatGPT Codex app. I know for a fact that Full Access defaults to off and Auto-review defaults to on. Matt Shumer *had* to change both settings for what happened to him. Bruno Lemos probably turned Auto-review off, but even if he didn't touch the settings, he's still a moron for letting the agent have access to production at all in the first place. A (sane) human programmer doesn't work directly on production, so why would you let the AI?

You mean the same completely normal, regular precautions you would make for 3rd party contributors to a project?
