It’s like a mental HUD. Sometimes there’s even an internal monologue like the enclopedia checks in Disco Elysium; though it’s my voice, not that cool narrator’s voice.

Wait… So it’s not just because I have an affinity for language?

Also: Other people see text in their mind like that? I thought that was just my own quirk.

It would be absurd and an absolute show stopper if the car stopped for dark shadows.

That’s why they use LIDAR and not just visual cameras. They don’t need to know the difference between different objects; they just need to know an object is there, in the way, or even moving in a way that could potentially put it in the path of the vehicle.

They’re making it more complicated by working on both autonomous driving, and also image recognition for use by AI.

All the issues with self-driving could be solved if they actually gave a shit about making it work. You don’t let the machine choose. You give it hard fucking rules to follow. It doesn’t need to identify geese, human, ball, dog, child to react differently to each; it should see an obstruction and stop to avoid damaging the fucking object and car, regardless of what it is. They are making it way more complicated than it really has to be.

I just click a second time where I want the cursor to be 🤷🏻‍♂️

On .ml of all instances lol

Don’t like moderators? Fine, try to host your own instance and your own communities. You’ll find quickly that it turns to shit because it’s actually pretty hard to do well.

Not really. You’ll just always have to deal with people who hate you because they wanna break the rules and hate facing the consequences. That isn’t hard. It’s just annoying.

It especially wouldn’t be hard if you hate “censorship” and let everyone just say whatever they want, even if they’re bigoted pieces of shit and posting CSAM. You literally just do nothing. Doing nothing is easy!

You’d think, as a terminally online person and a moderator (not just here but I was one on some Reddit communities, too), I’d run into the super awful shit like CP once in a while. I haven’t accidentally stumbled onto shit like that since I was, like, 15 and the Internet was like the Wild West.

I don’t really think that’s all moderators doing. There’s a ton of automation in a lot of shit now that can detect CP and other illegal content and prevent it from showing up. The humans doing the job tend to be the most literal-minded dipshits that can’t grasp the concept of context, satire, or sarcasm.

Makes sense as developers probably got sick of helping their family fix simple issues that were just slightly more work than pressing a single button.

I definitely would want an Atlas over the Teslabot even as a surrogate. It would fucking suck to fall down and actually have to leave your house to get back up again.

Now, I’ve no love for Musk or his BS but I keep hearing that they were actors in costumes, yet they were actually remote controlled robots, like you might see at a theme park. If instead of trying to pass them off as automatonomous, AI driven robots, they were to market them as surrogates (like the movie) and focused on longer range remote connections for them that would be far less stupid. They might even sell if they weren’t associated with a dumbass.

Well you’re not supposed to just have one. It’s supposed to be a thousand monkies at a thousand typewriters.

Now do the Mythbusters thing and figure out how many monkies and typewriters it would take for them to write Hamlet in just under a year. Don’t just solve the myth; put it to the test!

Fuck that. I already paid for the Pro edition of 10 specifically for features Windows 11 doesn’t have in any version. IDGAF if it’s free; it’s not an upgrade. It’s a downgrade.

Me: “Hey, Google. Use my computer to play Deadlock for me.”

“Fuck this. I can remove my eyeballs for free!”

Ok, this one is really stupid. Dislikes? Ok. Views? Fuck all the way off, Google.

They even contradict themselves in this shit. There’s what you quoted, but there is also this bit further up in a previous section:

“We can use your shit however we like, but if your shit is illegal, you’re the one who’ll be responsible; not us.”

Because we (technically) can?

Does this mean my library isn’t allowed to have games you can check out anymore? It’s been doing that (and other things that aren’t books) for at least a decade now with donated items.
