I had this feeling in my mind that car security was not very good, similar to home security (most homes being protected only by door locks), but I guess not! Reducing up to 40% theft, according to Wikipedia (sourcing a 2016 article). https

I guess when we get to have AGI agents, they will start replacing HR, even though I doubt this will sit well with anyone. Again, it’s dystopian. Maybe in a Demolition Man world. But today? Wew

You’re proposing that an imperfect AI flags (ok) or fires (wow) employees based on potentially bad input. Same thing on muting mic or doing any kind of auto moderation. That’s going very far on an imperfect technology. I’d sooner bet on aut

Very dystopian. It works well as farce, if it were one.

hm, odd that they are not locale-locked, but maybe it's impossible to be sure of the origin of the activation request.

Haha, I was interviewing for an internship in those years, and I remember asking the only webdev guy there if he thought he had the coolest job in the company (I sure thought that the web was better than Windows). The guy just looked at me

Indeed it can happen, imagine a state in which taxes are higher than elsewhere.

Just look at what people said about Steve Jobs and Wozniak. There's no point in replying to these people, there are thousands of them and I don't think they care to be fair.

I agree. The ease of it all and for frivolous things. And to think the gov tried to have a department of disinformation. That’s how you divide the country even further.

The FDA regulates human trials though.

Do you mean Apple should’ve built a fab instead of spending on buybacks?

There's still plenty of left-wing tech people on Twitter, althought they recently created their Mastodon account. I think they're waiting for the final nail in the coffin (a big outage ?), which may or may not come. And I'm o

On Windows anyway, the root of the user profile is already filled with garbage directories, and so a few more dot-dirs and files feel par for the course. The advantage is that accessing your root dir is easier than typing out %appdata% in F

Oh. That's depressing. Maybe AI-augmented cars will perform better in that regard.

It seems to have been approved only in 2018 in Canada, so we aren’t much better. It’s also merely an (apparently expensive) option, so we will have to live with careless high beam drivers for a while.

Available in Europe since 2006? Why did it take so long for the US? LED lightbeams are so bright that high beams is almost unbearable for opposing cars.

She is also already talking about spending cuts, apparently. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/liz-truss-spe...

I don't follow you at the end of your comment. Shrinking the spending budget doesn't necessarily imply cutting on defense & all other services they deem essential.

You must be underestimating the negative effect high long-term inflation has on a society. Labor doesn’t gain leverage, it loses a lot of buying power.

It is true, and I’d guess that most of those who put the economy front and center in their view of society have empathy, they just differ on the ways society should provide to its members. While socalism focuses on existing wealth and how b

I blame the devs before I blame the platform. Relational databases are mature enough and yet devs still find ways to create queries that time out with only a few thousand rows in their tables.

Requires a starting sample and samples at random times afterward. It’s very intrusive.

Absolutely amazing. I wonder, do games like GTA simulate those sounds as well, or is it pre-baked somehow?
