It’s called forward collision avoidance assist (a safety feature). There’s another safety feature for reversing which stops your car in its place when there’s a car passing behind you, for example as you’re exiting a driveway. Coupled with

The only reason to have a LI is to have an online resume, but if that’s the only reason then make a website. You’re better off interacting socially or blogging on your own site, which may have a commenting feature. You can use agents to pos

I think a corporation is as much a person as Voltron is a person. A person’s constitute components don’t have higher-levels of consciousness, but a person does. Whereas for a corporation, the situation is reversed—the constituent components

The prescriptive feminist talking points about what makes a man are poorly justified, and as such more likely to be taken as political agenda than well-meaning advice for self-actualization. But I don’t think this post deserves to be flagge

One problem that’s unaddressed is that there isn’t a house building, pricing and mortgage model for people making 50K or less. One piece of data I’ve found is that 65% of Americans are homeowners (meaning American families, not rentals or i

On state funding: Trump tariffs are going to cut deep enough into flexible spending for a lot of countries. On private funding: I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Asian universities excelled at engineering because the U.S. universiti

Psych ops is different from propaganda because the former has a component of weakening an opponent through messaging, whereas the latter is more concerned with trying to convince others to your side or view point. But you’re right that ther

That’s not quite right. For people with ADHD, they have a calming and quieting effect, and don’t work as stimulants, or “performance enhancers”, as is commonly understood.

My sincere hope is that AI bankrupts most, if not all, consultancies. Consultancies are adult day care for Ivy grads who are unemployable everywhere else. The best they do next is go on to get MBAs, or other types of Masters. Truly, however

Which Christians, though? America formed precisely because of sectarian tensions and differences. The mindset which hunted the former Anglos to North American shores is that of supremacy and domination, and that mindset always seeks to crea

An important and insightful study, but I’d caution against thinking that building pro-social aspects in language models is a damaging or useless endeavor. Just speaking from experience, people who give good advice or commentary can balance

I could be wrong, but one possible reason may be inflammation of regions of the brain responsible for regulating sleep, and involving connection with vision, like the thalamus. Here’s a recent study which seems to point in that direction h
