- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 8 hours ago:
I find if I ask it about procedures that if there is any room for a vague step AI will stumble on it and sometimes put me into loops where it tells me to do A, A fails, so do B, B fails, so it tells me to do A…

Cut off a nation as big and determined as China and they will just become more self sufficient.

Well LG did me a favor. Don’t buy LG tvs, Samsung appliances or HP printers.

This was worse. It had lane detection so every once in a while I could feel it jerk the wheel even though I was solidly in my lane. The only advanced feature I didn’t find was the proximity warning when I wanted to change lanes. It was pretty clear there was a car there but I didn’t mind the heads up.

Yah, I drove a rental with these for the first time and didn’t like it. It left the high beams on far longer than I would’ve manually and when I tried to manually switch them off it would turn them back on without me knowing.

Some people also don’t know you can set your headlights to “auto” so you aren’t driving at twilight with your headlights off.
- Comment on U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen 1 week ago:
They need to make them frosted so they disperse the light and they need to design headlights that are focused downwards so they can’t hit your eyes directly.

It is insane how bright they are now and due to LEDs appear as point sources. Even if they are adjusted correctly for flat roads as soon as you get to any ripples in the road now they are aimed right into your eyes. For some reason insurers and the gov don’t recognize this problem.

When you need a step ladder to get into your truck maybe it is too high for public roads.

Keep selling these massive juggernaut trucks. Then there is the matter of low license barriers, poor vehicle maintenance, and a lack of regular driving fitness testing. The US is also pedestrian unfriendly. I have to drive almost everywhere since there is very little within walking distance to my home. If I do try to walk there are stretches with no sidewalks and very sketchy intersections I have to cross.
- Comment on U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen 1 week ago:
A big part is due to the higher trucks making it not only harder to see in front if someone is crossing near you but also if you hit something it is more likely to go under the truck. The bar to get a license in the US is also ridiculously low compared to Europe.

How the fuck does a 75 yr old woman even climb into this thing? She must need a stepstool to do it, and I’ve seen people do exactly that.

But I need a massive truck to carry groceries and 2 kids.

The benefit is trivial compared to the cost

You’d make it harder to open doors and slower to close, wasting heat in winter and ac in summer.
- Comment on Earth needs more energy. Atlanta’s Super Soaker creator may have a solution. 2 weeks ago:
I always thought there was more to be extracted from waste heat. Similarly I wonder if modern techniques could extract more from mine waste instead of opening more mines.

For some reason middle eastern and pakistani sources are cranking out fake disaster videos.

People who post this stuff without identifying it as fake should be held liable.

These are more realistic and far far easier to make.

It is time to start holding social media sites liable for posting AI deceptions. FB is absolutely rife with them.

- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 2 weeks ago:
I like to amuse myself on reddit. If my comment is getting downvoted I might delete it and repost it. Then it usually gets upvoted. It just shows the groupthink on reddit where you get “Oh, this got down/up voted, guess I’ll do it too.”
