Oh the Earth will be fine. But the mass extinction event this will cause may end up taking human civilisation with it. I'm waiting for a future Canada building a wall on their southern border to keep all the American refugees out.
The descendants of Ogg have renewed the ongoing lawsuit against the descendants of Zogg alleging that Ogg dropped a rock on Zoggs foot in a cave one fine day and it was really ouchie! Anthropologists are working around the clock trying to restore the cave paintings documenting the original complaint made to the tribal chief in 30,001 BCE.
This is essentially a high-stakes gamble. The payout is potentially millions, so they just try whatever. And I bet if it all turns against them and they're forced to pay legal costs etc. they'll just file for bancruptsy.
Maybe because it was?
I also find that I find more and more channels on Youtube where a human is reading what sounds like an AI assisted script, as it's full of these same AI-isms. It's annoying when everyone starts sounding the same even when they are reading from a script.
Huh? It's an unsecure and unmaintained open-source driver that's causing the issue. The OS is running perfectly fine.
Perfect illustration of the thinking problem here. You don't even get WHAT the problem is.
Why is a driver able to fuck up a system? The OS should be the watchdog that says "WTF are you doing there?", not the obedient slave executing whatever.
A great illustration is W^X - first found not in Windows, but in OpenBSD. Because Windows happily goes "whatever you say, master", while the guys at OpenBSD said "no actual use case of non-broken, non-malicious software should ever behave like that, so we'll block it".
since a non-MS open-source driver is actually the problem here.
If you are responsible for a sensitive location, and a five-year old kid from the neighbourhood one day just wanders in and take a look around out of curiosity, pressing a few buttons to see what happens - you would definitely not keep your job by claiming that the little kid is actually the problem here.
That's because of all of the inbreeding. A is the CEO at one place where B sits on the board. Next door, B is the CEO and A sits on the board...
Exactly that. Many seem to have forgotten that hospitals were absolutely slammed early in the pandemic and that medical care in general suffered.
And you clowns don't think that your OS is a fragile pile of crap if it's that easy to fuck up?
Seriously? Do you even know what the job of an OS _is_ ?
Not to mention an increase in damaging severe weather.
Even people who like it warmer probably don't like having their house blown away to Oz.
Unfortunately, it has a way of becoming your problem as they strain medical resources, continue to drive global warming and run around spreading their infectious diseases.
The key is to use the AI more sensibly. Let it find things in code. Even let it look at possible bugs in the form of where does it "describe bug". Even let it propose changes. DO NOT let it make the changes, just show them. Do not just take it's word for it, take the shown code as a starting point but re-do it for maintainability after sanity checking it.
THEN it can be a useful tool.
A touchscreen doesn't negate that, either. Lack of physical controls does. They are not mutually exclusive. Oh, and my new vehicle also has a real dashboard with display in front of the driver, like a vehicle should have (unlike a Tesla). AND it ALSO has an HUD display with speed, speed limit, nav info, etc, as well. AND it has voice controls. So all options are on the table.
You are right. A screen that does not replace physical controls is a nice thing.
And I agree. Any vehicle that doesn't have a proper dashboard in front of me, where I need to look to the side to see important information, is a no-buy for me.
yes, it's a short list. But it's a start and a kind of "red line". I am hopeful they move that line to include other things that people use while driving all the time.
Are big screens nice? Sure, yes.
But if I have a choice between good physical controls and a big touch screen, I'll take the buttons and switches any day, thank you.
My 10 year old BMW has voice commands and a map that's always been more than enough for me. Sure, it's not as large, but while driving I don't want a big map - I want an indicator that tells me "next turn left in 500m" - and I have that, not on the main display but right in front of me on the dashboard. Newer models have it on a HUD.
Nothing in what you wrote makes a LARGE screen necessary.
They don't have to be better. They just have to be competing for the same ad money and users.
Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth.
