Weren't CCTV - with or without AI support - cameras expected to stop crimes? Turns out they can't even wake up a dozed off passenger. Even with AI, talkback and live operator.

Not to mention another common problem with late-night taxi shifts:

OK, which particular aspect of the LLM learning do you think doesn't exist in the human brain? Backprop exists (and the other training methods the brain uses has similar effects), embeddings more or less exists and seems to be very similar to the LLM embeddings (shown by brain activation in various areas linearly matching with embeddings) - see e.g. High-level visual representations in the human brain are aligned with large language models (Adrien Doerig et al, 2025), and speech/text generation by humans has similar error patterns as for LLMs.

They obviously don't learn in the EXACT same way, but there's also clearly a lot of bits that are the same, and I'm fairly sure nobody knows how much is similar yet, particularly not weighted by importance.
 

Okay, Stupid Evil Christian Terrorist.

Nope.

That depends on the time when you made it. Originally, it was completely separated.
Then somewhere in the 90s, they allowed people with a manual transmission license to ride both.

And right now: it is separated again. You need to take extra hours on an automatic car, to be allowed to get a dual license.

How do I know? The place I hang out has several young guys getting the driving license right now.

Might be a little bit different from country to country, not sure.

With my license: I am not allowed to drive an automatic car. However, I am forced to get the new ID card sized driving license. And with that one - as I made my license 1986 - I get automatic as a gift. Pretty idiotic.

Technically: I have no clue how to drive an automatic car. Except for watching other people drive it.

You don't even necessarily need M-Disks, apparently Verbatim switched to HTL technology, the longer-life form used in M-Disks, for all their BluRay stuff, which is what's led to the conspiracy theories about "Verbatim M-Disks are just rebadged BluRays". Well, yes and no...

Bit rot in flash, particularly with MLCs, is terrible, you can start losing data in as little as 12 months with media that isn't used/powered constantly.

Came here to say more or less the same thing. I don't understand why people want to cling to a century-old artefact of motoring technology that's been superseded by newer tech that takes care of it for you. It's like insisting on using a washboard and tub rather than those crazy newfangled washing machines that save you all the labour and effort.

Sheesh, if I'm paying for an escort then getting her to cut&paste code for me is pretty much the last thing I'll be doing.

Depends on the country.
In Germany the price is artificially inflated by "copyright fees" to pay to some RIAA like organizations, as every USB stick is obviously full with pirated material (and pirating is a jailable offence).

I should smuggle USB sticks from Asia and sell them on eBay in Germany ... 500% to 1000% earnings.

Regarding cars (no idea about bikes) it is similar in Thailand, you have to pass a test on the court of the "license school" ... with your own car. I wonder how the car gets there (j/k).

They have no mandatory hours for city, overland or highway or night driving etc.

I remember a facebook post where an agitated American was asking the FB crowed (yes, retarded idea).

The question was like: you try to enter a main road from a side road. The lanes of the main road are separated by two solid lines of paint. You want to turn left into the main road. What are you doing?
a) turn left into the main road (crossing the solid lines of separation)
b) turn right, go to the next U-turn and turn around

So his question was: why his answer "A" was always rejected.
So the community mocked him: why not simply take some driving lesions, read some books about driving rules instead of trying to memorize the correct answers for a multiple choice test - without grasping what the questions are about?

Nvidia is loaning money to AI companies to purchase Nvida GPUs,
That is basically what happened during the "dot com bubble crash", for example SUN lending out money to make companies like Toys Are Us great (no idea what happened to them). When the bubble busted SUN lost an incredible amount of money. So they got bought by Oracle, mostly.

And what will they do if I say, "No"?
Stupid question.

You are not even asked ...

No idea who modded you.

But this: "or tienaman (sp?) square" - is a stupid question.

The information about this is simply not in the model.

Mao and Stalin and their cronies became the new rich and middle class, while everyone else suffered. Why? Greed.
Stalin, because he actually wanted to starve the relevant people death, because he was an intentional mass murderer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Mao, because he was an idiot. In grandauers attitude, he rewarded his "generals" province government positions. With - amoung other things - supervising farming. Same time as "punishment" the "Bourgeoisie" was forced to work on farms, to "learn how hard - real work - is".

So, the Governor has no clue how to manage a farm and no workers with any clue how to do farm work.

On top of that the "do not lose faith" attitude and reporting to Mao: all is fine.

Same stupidity happened in Cambodia as Pol Pot was following the same mistakes and was not aware of the catastrophe in China.
