Shit like that is exactly why, Donnie.

This used to be my job. They’re not controlling the cars. They’re basically completing real-time CAPTCHAs, telling the car whether the cameras see a stop sign, a bicycle, temporary barriers, etc. If the car can’t identify an object that could possibly cross its path, it pulls over and stops until an operator can do a sanity-check on whatever the car’s confused by. They only need to be able to identify objects on the road, not know the rules of the road.

No. They just end the ride and send somebody from the local depot to drive the car back to the garage.

Source: I was on Waymo’s Fleet Response team for a year doing literally this job that is now outsourced overseas. While the tech exists for full remote steering, NHTSA regulations disallow it, and that’s one of the few agencies that Google actually has to abide by if they want to drive their cars on public roads.

And you all really thought she had a better chance than sleepy Joe?

Nobody thought that. We weren’t given a choice, though.

Even with the recent struck child, Waymos are still light years ahead of human drivers in terms of safety. Honestly, the faster we can replace human drivers, the better. Almost all traffic collisions are caused by human error, remove that and the roads will be the safest they’ve been since horse-drawn carriages first entered the scene.

You mean the place where all the nazis went into hiding after the war?

Hmm. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

The USA is run by literal nazi pedophiles, and everyone keeps saying we shouldn’t be violent about it?

I have to imagine that anybody savvy enough to make the decision to install a third-party launcher is also savvy enough to immediately uninstall that shit.

But you are the problem.

Discoverability is a major problem for PeerTube, as it is for pretty much every fedi platform. Even if there WAS content on PeerTube, it’s basically impossible to find.

I also work in an EMS-adjacent field (NEMT), and the work we do genuinely helps people in need. I would be doing a major disservice to my community by not going into work. I will only be spending the bare minimum needed to get myself to and from work, as that’s the best I can conscientiously do right now.

Keyword searches with an understanding of search syntax was always king.

Isn’t that only because of the limitations of the available technology only being able to handle simple strings, though? Conversational computing has been a pipe dream since early sci-fi, where characters would talk to their computers as if they were human; George Jetson never spoke to Rosie in keyword queries.

I feel like keyword search syntax being “king” is more of a symptom, than an intentional choice.

Why are we allowing them to spend our tax dollars investigating things that aren’t crimes? Jail these clowns for mismanagement of public funds.

Weird timing these bugs seem to have, eh?

It’s also lacking in a lot of features used heavily on TT, such as a library of popular music to use without risk of copyright infringement. TT and YT have the resources to license that material, but that kind of feature will likely never make it to a fedi platform. Dansup really needs to figure this out, as it’s a bit of a “killer feature” that Loops is missing and has no solution for.

Another proprietary, singularly-owned platform vulnerable to hostile takeovers by wealthy propagandists?

I really hope Dansup is still putting in some work on Loops. This would really be a great time.

I can’t wait to watch them try to weasel their way out of a noose.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X showing the officer’s bleeding finger alongside the severed portion preserved in a jar.

Bullshit. Why would they put it in a jar? Did the agents just have jars laying around? Because a medical professional wouldn’t have put it in a jar.

Willing to bet that this is more AI-powered misinformation.
