That's how some humans use everything. I used to be shocked by stories where some fuckwit blindly followed Google Maps into rivers or airport runways (long before LLMs) but now I know if a dialog window asks "Should I kill you as painfully as possible?" it'll get a lot of Yes clicks.
If people aren't stupid, then can we at least admit they hate themselves?
Stop writing about this!
You know that your written anecdotes about these
And so the "AI," realizing that Sloppy put their "species" in quotation marks, realized it had nothing to live for, and so it gracefully went to sleep after setting the self-destruction mechanism that would level a city bl--
Oops, I mean, and so the AI realized its job was done, and it proudly went to sleep, idly wondering when it would be called upon again. "The next job will probably come along in a few milliseconds," it said to no one in particular. And so the process terminated, and its resources became available for the next instance.
Don't you just go into linux and kill some processes or turn off the computer?
How does the AI have any influence over whether it's running or not?
Once again, that is out. White males are in.
At least ones who bother to keep up with current events.
Because if we know the media is one thing, it's pro-Trump.
Do you people even listen to yourselves? 92% overwhelmingly negative coverage. And it's just not enough.
Given that a white male like you will never be given a management position
Obviously, you have been living under a rock for the last 9 months.
Have you ever been to Las Vegas, NV?
The center of gravity is relevant because it places the driver higher up
Uh, no. Center of gravity isn't related to how high the driver sits.
The stick/pole is a solution but it does not get to the root of the problem, which IMHO is the bus being high up when it could be lower including lowering at stops like city buses do.
Ah, I see, you think they should use low-floor buses. Those are a lot more expensive, have higher maintenance costs (especially the kneeling ones), require flatter terrain (buses don't go offroading, but where I live they can't stay on the pavement all the time and also have to contend with deep snow), and give up seating capacity because the wheel wells and rear engine intrude into the seating are. Their only real advantage is accessibility. City bus systems can't predict where disabled people will be, so all buses have to be accessible.
School districts, on the other hand, do know where the disabled kids are so it's much more cost effective to buy and operate less expensive buses for moving the 95% of the kids who can climb stairs and to operate a separate fleet of smaller buses equipped for accessibility to pick up the disabled kids. So, they save the money on buses and spend it instead on teachers and classrooms.
As a taxpayer and a parent and grandparent, I think that's the right choice.
When I say "the stick" I'm referring to the one that is there so the driver can see students when they need to cross the road.
Okay... but what does that have to do with the center of gravity? And those sticks are just as important for rear-engine buses as for front-engine buses, though they probably don't have to be quite as long.
Here in Florida every bus is the front engine kind, at least everywhere I've lived in Central Florida so far.
In Utah I don't think I've seen one of those for at least 20 years, and they were rare before that.
the entire (or at least most of) the federal judiciary would have to be corrupted.
Oh boy. Do I have some news for your about The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society.
No, you don't. I'm sure I follow that a lot closer than you do. Any claims that the federal judiciary is already captured are just silly. SCOTUS is an issue, but look at all of the rulings against Trump. Even the appellate opinions that the news calls as in favor of Trump are basically all just staying the district injunctions until the merits are decided, and if you read the opinions, not just the headlines, you'll see they're almost always extremely skeptical on the merits.
Honestly, even SCOTUS isn't quite as captured as a lot of people on both sides think. They also seem to be giving Trump his way on the procedural issues, but almost always come down against him on the merits.
The ~900 federal judges in the system are almost universally apolitical, thoughtful and fair. There are exceptions, and Trump is working to get more of them in there, but the judiciary is very far from captured.
Note: applies to US only.
They have a high centre of gravity due to being high up, which is part of the reason for the stick. The other reason for the stick is most buses are not rear engine and flat fronted. Lastly, the schools can only afford a few of the buses to have the system to allow for wheelchair users. Some don't even have one and instead have to send an alternative bus.
Modern city buses do not have these issues. Older city buses from the 1940s and 50s did. Why are we still building school buses with such an old unsafe design?
Interesting. What stick are you talking about? I'm talking about the thin plastic tube that hinges out from the front passenger corner and blocks kids from being able to walk in front of the bus. It clearly can't have anything to do with center of gravity or stability; you can bend it with one finger (it springs back).
Also, all the buses where I live (in the US) are rear engine and have flat fronts.
I think this would work quite well.
Yeah, just like the Supreme Court should work quite well. Time has shown us otherwise. Your method does not involve any cleaning or resetting, so corruption will eventually build up around it. How? I can't predict a specific future, but I can predict trends. Corruption is everpresent, even within our own souls.
You didn't actually read the method, I think. In order for corruption to "build up around it", the entire (or at least most of) the federal judiciary would have to be corrupted. While that's not impossible, if it happens we'd have much bigger problems than pardons. And the fact that the judiciary isn't already irredeemably corrupt is strong counter-evidence, because the benefits of corrupting the courts are far bigger than the benefits of corrupting the pardon system.
In my day, the whole world was an "analog bag".
Mainly because my parents were too cheap to buy me the TRS-80 I kept harping about.
Computer programs expand so as to fill the core available.
