We had a bunch of tree huggers recently bully one of our fox saviors into suicide. Please don’t let the harassment get to you or anyone under your employ. You’re doing good work, never let anyone else convince you otherwise.
Every person is their own corner case. Cars solve those corner cases. And yes, droll. If all you do is work, home, work, home, work, home…that’s droll.
I can pay $3 to ride the train to midtown in ~40 minutes. Or I could drive, and deal with all the pain points of traffic and parking and take… ~40 minutes.
That’s great if your life is so droll that anything and everything you do fits within a 20sq mi radius.
You can’t take a train to go spelunking a mountain cave. Cars win in point-to-point flexibility, and freedom of travel on your schedule, not the trains.
If I want to go somewhere at 3am, I can hop in my car and go. It’s more common for trains to run from 5am to Midnight, and I’m a night owl.
Everyone who argues against cars always forgets that not everywhere is a densely packed city. Many of us like to travel much broader ranges. Sure, some NEET doesn’t care about that freedom, but plenty of us do. Many of us live in mountain ranges and trains aren’t exactly some great solution here.
I’d be okay with people being ticketed for driving trucks with only 1 passenger and not using them for hauling anything. I’d love to see smaller cars on the road that were designed to only hold a single person and be as efficient at that task as possible.
Trains, and busses, are a huge tradeoff in time savings. And have you seen the types of people who take trains/busses? No fucking thanks.
The tradeoff is time waiting for the train, and destinations available to you. I hate people way more than I hate cars, so cars it is. Personally I drive 2 cars to work with my left butt cheek in one car, and my right butt cheek in the other car just to be extra inefficient.
Did you think I didn’t know that or something? Trains are worse than cars. How do you not see so clearly the argument I’m making here?
Holy crap the world is in trouble with people like you around.
“hurr durrr I hate teh US” is not a valid argument against cars; it’s a trite attempt at derailing the subject and attacking the person making the argument instead.
Because there are different “types” of AI, and some of them are genuinely impressive. I don’t see AI as inherently stupid; I see that the way it’s being implemented and abused as stupid.
Kinda the same way I see humans. MOST of them are pieces of trash, but there are some diamonds in the rough among them that are absolute treasures to be around.
This whole comparing AI to only the best and brightest humans at their absolute pinnacle is so tiring.
Humans are stupid, they’re aggressive, they’re ignorant, they’re inattentive - so comparing only to the educated, civilized bits is just selective bias. Humans are wrong. Humans are bad drivers constantly. They think Vaccines cause 5G and that being gay is transmissible.
Being written in C++ doesn’t keep it from being reverse engineered in exactly the same way. All code can be reversed. It’s a little easier with Java because java isn’t turned directly into machine-code at compile-time.
Imagine legitimately believing Bedrock is “ahead” of java in any way, lol - There are “features” that bedrock has, which are the REASON Java is better. None of the coins bullshit, better and more developed mod scene, none of the desyncing issues where you fall to your death on the server, but it looks like you’re standing on a pillar on your local client, etc.
It is, but that code is run through a scrambler that makes it more difficult to read for a human, but basically a trivial task for a computer to undo anyways.
So we’re just burning CPU cycles by scrambling it, and then just unscrambling it anyways – so Microsoft is just saying “why scramble it at all then?”
This should, in theory, make it easier for people with less experience coding, to read and understand what’s going on.
The AI bubble isn’t gonna pop. It’ll calm down at some point, but it’s working as intended. They’re removing peoples jobs and the AI is doing just as good of a job.
Remember, humans aren’t error-proof either. So this argument of “AI is wrong all the time!” doesn’t really reach the ears of the people in corporate – because people are wrong all the fucking time too.
And unlike people - they don’t have to deal with AI posting racist shit outside of work and causing massive problems for the company, etc. People are shit, the way people act are shit. Half of them are not just shit, but actively barbarians working against society.
Honestly, I trust any random person I run across on the street as far less trustworthy than even the smallest of AIs
Viral infections don’t typically last over the course of several months. I get that there’s a lot of people who want antibiotics for viral things, I don’t take them when I don’t need them.
My daughter is kind of becoming a horticulturalist and recently taught me that sumac (there are non-poison varieties) can make something akin to lemonade if you dip the berries into water and then filter the water back. They have a citric-acid-like outer shell that dissolves in water.
And we’ve eaten so many mushrooms and stuff - thanks to communities on the internet who have categorized lookalikes, where to steer clear of certain types (white mushrooms, don’t even bother. Half of them will kill you)
