That’s . . . not what cute means.

Eminent domain the final mile and be done with it. These companies have no business holding our national infrastructure hostage.

Took the stock 3 days to recover from that dip and it’s now higher than it was before this story broke. Correlation is not causation.
- Comment on is this copium or hopium or schizophrenia? 8 months ago:
If it weren’t for the thieving class and the people who fall for their bullshit, I’m convinced we’d be having serious discussions about what it means to live in a post-scarcity society by now.

- Comment on The Escapist murica-fires Editor-in-Chief - loses Yahtzee Croshaw and entire video team in hours 1 year ago:
It’s more like 100%. The escapist is yahtzee. Was, rather. Now it’s a logo, a url, and a back catalog.
On the bright side, the entire team has banded together to launch “Second Wind”. Their new discord is popping and there will be a livestream tomorrow detailing the team’s plan going forward

Your relatively ‘dumb’ car probably doesn’t try to gauge distance exclusively by interpreting visual data from cameras.

If the driver gets lulled into a false sense of security by a convenience system like this and the automation fails, it’s one thing to blame the driver, and that may or may not be fair depending on how much trust you place in the average driver’s competence, but the (hypothetical) victim is still dead, and who we decide to blame won’t make one iota of difference to that.
- Comment on New law entitles child social media influencers to a percentage of earnings: ‘It’s kind of a new world’ 1 year ago:
California has had the “Coogan Law” since the 1930s, which requires parents of child actors to set aside a percentage of the child’s earnings in a trust. Other states have similar laws. I’m not clear on whether these laws apply to streaming income, but it’s not really a new world so much as it is an application of an existing concept to a ‘new’ medium.

The difference is that cruise control will maintain your speed, but ‘autopilot’ may avoid or slow down for obstacles. Maybe it avoids obstacles 90% of the time or 99% of the time. It apparently avoids obstacles enough that people can get lulled into a false sense of security, but once in a while it slams into the back of a stationary vehicle at highway speed.
It’s easy to say it’s the driver’s responsibility, and ultimately it is, of course, but in practice, a system that works almost all of the time but occasionally causally kills somebody is very dangerous indeed, and saying it’s all the driver’s fault isn’t really realistic or fair.

I have a lot of trouble understanding how the NTSB (or whoever’s ostensibly in charge of vetting tech like this) is allowing these not-quite self driving cars on the road. The technology doesn’t seem mature enough to be safe yet, and as far as I can tell, nobody seems to have the authority or be willing to use that authority to make manufacturers step back until they can prove their systems can be integrated safely into traffic.
- Comment on Some dystopian doublespeak from Micky D 1 year ago:
It’s doublespeak for giving people a discount.
