That’s the issue with all products and services being permissible only by service agreement.
You’re always at the whims of the provider and as they start to implement more AI oversight the chances of a clerical error causing major disruptions in your workflow is a risk worth considering.
It sucks too because the old trucks with a low bed were so much better for actualy doing work if you care about your back at all.
Vehicles are getting way too big on average, I mean the F150 is North America’s best selling vehicle (*edit: I have since learned as of 2024 that spot actually belongs to the RAV4) since forever. It’s a problem of misaligned incentives.
There’s an exception carved out for large vehicles in the EPA guidelines that hold them to less stringent emissions standards which incentivizes building larger vehicles 1
Large cars are also incentivized by our crash safety rating system which only takes into account the mortality rate of those inside the car as apposed to average related fatalities. This means it will prioritize safety of those in the vehicle, which has led to our average fatalities increasing. 2
As an unintended side effect this also damages roads much faster because vehicle weight per axle determines the magnitude of the damage a vehicle does to the road. 3 anecdotally this makes me concerned for the additional weight that electric cars add.
Also as vehicles increase in weight the amount of microplastics put into the air as a by product of tire wear increase. 4
As cars increase in size (and therefore weight) the downsides are exponential.
I’m Canadian, where the equivalent to the Republican party is called the Conservative Party of Canada under the guise that they are fiscally conservative.
This is, of course, not the case but it’s the name they chose. It does lead to some confusion much like the National Socialist German Workers’ Party did.
I’m okay with not optimizing people out of existence, he also probably won’t hallucinate, unless it’s microdose Mondays.
My condolences, It’s hard to see it happen to the ones you love
All my uncles are conservative, it’s a living hell.
I mean he can fane that he doesn’t understand but he must. No matter how technically impressive the technology is, it’s only as good as it’s application.
Most people are familiar with the concept of an LLM. Most progress has been iterative.
I mean honestly I’m still happier with that service than I would be with an actual AI. I mean sure he lied but he’s also not using AI so.
How else will I have my financial oroboros to prop up the economy
Don’t forget the fact that it can just hallucinate garbage. At least when my professor does it it’s because he’s too old.
Not being held accountable is the main tenant of modern CEOs
Agreed but it’s much easier to give voters what they want when you spend billions on propaganda either directly or indirectly through Russian state actors. More like they acted in their own interest and dreamed up a narrative to convince the common man it was there’s too. Now, no doubt they’re effective political tools, hats off to them but it’s a lot easier to align men with their own greed than a common path forward for society.
I was referring specifically to Senate, however it’s a long messy history, let me go on GovTrack.us and see if I can find the senate records to explain what I mean
Edit: there it is,
✓On the opening day of the One Hundred Seventeenth Congress, the U.S. Senate was comprised of 51 Republicans, 46 Democrats, 2 Independents (who caucused with the Democrats), and 1 vacancy. No candidate received a majority of votes in the general election for Georgia’s class 2 seat or in the special election for Georgia’s class 3 seat. Runoff elections for both of the state’s Senate seats were scheduled for January 5, 2021. Democratic candidates won both elections. Following the inauguration of Vice President Kamala D. Harris on January 20, 2021, the Senate had a Democratic majority, comprised of 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and 2 Independents (who caucus with the Democrats). The Vice President is able to cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate. See United States Senate, “Party Division,” https://www.senate.gov/history/partydiv.htm. Office of the Historian: history@mail.house.gov Office of Art & Archives, Office of the Clerk: art@mail.house.gov, archives@mail.house.gov
The below information is a tie which effectively allowed for stonewalling. Yes if all Democratic senators, 2 independents and the vice president voted together they could push things through. However the fact of the matter is they don’t tow the party line like Republicans and vote more independently. Perhaps a party failure but I see that as a tenant of a functioning democracy.
You could make the argument against an enemy willing to use those tactics not using them Is a failure to the people but I’d argue the smarter thing as individuals would be to blame Republicans and vote them out of positions of power.
And before that the last time they had a majority was 2009 to 2011
I think they mean appliances that don’t necessarily heat an area but heat is a function of their purpose.
In the example given, a combo washer dryer, it is not necessary to have a link to the outside it merely uses the ambient air as it’s source of heat, The same is also common among heat pump water heaters.
Thank you, it’s refreshing to see someone adopt a sober mind about the situation. It’s been a minefield of sweeping conclusions from incomplete information.
I understand that parasocial relationships make it difficult to be objective but frankly establishing facts in an employment dispute ex post facto is a dubious endeavor.
To my knowledge Americans have never given Democrats a chance, the Democrats haven’t had a majority capable of pushing a bill through without Republican participation since 2008 and Republicans have been remarkably consistent at pulling the party together to stonewall Democrats so they look ineffective.
I mean the Democrats are often ineffective but at least punish them for the failures they make on their own merits, like the recent agreement to reopen the government.
I mean this was the unironic sentiment around here in the months leading up to the 2024 election.
I’m missing context, did Disney start running Gen AI stuff?
Edit: Disregard found my answer in another comment.
The color contrast almost gives it the same energy as the Better Call Saul poster with the red jacket.
