If your vehicle isn’t disabled, what’s the big deal about stopping?

If you’re just careening down the highway at 80, you’re not really giving your car a fair chance to let you know that it’s really in a disabled state now are you?

It’s just common sense that after a major impact you should evaluate the safety of continuing in your current state. Stopping and doing the bare minimum of just looking at your car would be the first step of that process.

Real Autopilot also needs constant attention

Newer “real” autopilot systems absolutely do not need constant attention. Many of them can do full landing sequences now. The definition would match what people commonly use it for, not what it was “originally”. Most people believe autopilot to be that it pilots itself automatically. There is 0 intuition about what a pilot actually does in the cockpit for most normal people. And technology bares out that thought process as autopilot in it’s modern form can actually do 99% of flying, where take-off and landing isn’t exempted anymore.

Color doesn’t matter to Lidar… Oh wait… Elon nixed that.

We have evidence of the US messing with nist standards

What… You realize that NIST is literally a government agency? It’s part of the United States Department of Commerce. It’s literally the US government. Are you saying that the government is messing with itself? What does that even mean?

I don’t like what this bit of information is doing to discussions in Lemmy.

Cool. That’s fine that you don’t like it. However people have a right to not see what they don’t want to see. If they decide that means it’s lemmy.ml, then that’s their right.

Just like I have a right to not peer with lemmy.ml if I didn’t want to.

Hell I have a hard block on ALL Russian and Chinese IP addresses. Not because I have something against the people. But I just don’t want to deal with the headache of accepting traffic from those countries.

Just because some (or even a majority) of the people on lemmy.ml are fine to interact with doesn’t mean that there isn’t contention from other users and admins on that instance.

non-standard functionality of the latter.

My guy. In the 90’s ALL browsers were non-standard. Even at the protocol level.
http/0.9 - 1991
http/1.0 - 1996
http/1.1 - 1997

html/1.0 - 1991
html/2.0 - 1995 revised in 1996, and 97.
html/3.0 - 1997
html/4.0 - 1997 revised in 1998, 99, and 2000.

Then comes all the add-ons like flash, shockwave, etc… Nothing was standard at this time-frame. We threw everything possible into browsers. Toolbars for literally everything (I remember even having winamp controls in my browser).

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Evolution_of_HTTP

Between 1991-1995, these were introduced with a try-and-see approach. A server and a browser would add a feature and see if it got traction.

Literally sites and browsers would just implement stuff just to implement and see if it became used.

A lot of recent times (2010’s mostly) has been back peddling the mad rush of just shoving EVERYTHING into browsers. Now I actually fear we’re going to far though… With google removing useful backend stuff for plugins and such. I just hope Firefox never follows suit.

Trillium

Trillian, not trillium. And they’re actually still around.

Why we gotta do Derpy like that?

There was no purchasing contract in place when the suing company placed the $20 million dollar order

You think that companies just slap down 20mil without a contract in place?

I’ll have a map where you have to prevent a nuclear meltdown

Who would want to play a game where there’s nothing to do?

In every nuclear reactor we’ve ever had issues with it took ignoring engineers or specifically bypassing normal operations procedures to cause.

In your game… the answer would be “do nothing”. Game over, you win.

Yeah point to me where I said this was the fault of the Rubes? Because I didn’t say that.

I didn’t say you did… But the original article DOES try to paint it all on the Republicans. You know…

FCC Republican opposes regulation of data caps with analogy to coffee refills

I was taking your point and adapting it specifically to my thoughts on the original article.

That’s still a limitation on bandwidth, not data volume. It’s still the bandwidth that costs money, not the volume.

Not really. OFDMA and other modulation mechanisms for doing dense wireless connectivity do have limitations on number of active connections based on frequency (not necessarily data bandwidth) available. Someone communicating constantly will eat up way more slots than their neighbors.
https://www.5gtechnologyworld.com/the-basics-of-5gs-modulation-ofdm/
Wireless is a shared resource that cannot be guarded. This is not the case with cables… Where that bandwidth limitation is never encroached upon (short of the North American Fiber-Seeking Backhoe… Shown here:)

In short, someone taking less slots means that service for everyone is better. A cap can keep those slots open as people would be incentivized to use it less.

The alternative is that they install more wireless transmitters but dial the power down so there’s more cells. Except this will have alternative problems in penetrating into buildings and such. So that’s not really an answer either. And with way more hand-offs you’ll run into more problems using your cellphone anyway.

How are data caps affecting you?

They don’t affect me because I don’t use a company that has a cap… however, any cap that I would potentially have would wreck my household.

I covered some numbers in this post. https://lemmy.saik0.com/comment/3735470

I’m around 100x over the “cap” for the other major ISP in my area.

Mostly correct take IMO. I don’t blame ISPs for trying. I blame government (and not necessarily just federal) regulations/regulators for allowing it.

I grew up in NY. We paid a boatload in taxes to make fiber happen everywhere. IT. NEVER. HAPPENED.

NY is strongly Democrat. Acting like Republicans are solely the problem is asinine, and nothing stops states from enacting their own laws within the state. If California and NY made it happen. Guess what would basically happen throughout the whole country?

I’d say Gemma 2B wasn’t actually wrong

I call that talking itself out of being correct.

Not really? I’ve never gone to Youtube for the content it tries to shove on me on the homepage. I always went straight to the subscription page… And now on my invidious instance, that’s the primary loaded page. I still only go to “trending” and “for you” once in a blue moon.

So I keep seeing people reference this… And I found it curious of a concept that LLMs have problems with this. So I asked them… Several of them…

Outside of this image… Codestral ( my default ) got it actually correct and didn’t talk itself out of being correct… But that’s no fun so I asked 5 others, at once.

What’s sad is that Dolphin Mixtral is a 26.44GB model…
Gemma 2 is the 5.44GB variant
Gemma 2B is the 1.63GB variant
LLaVa Llama3 is the 5.55 GB variant
Mistral is the 4.11GB Variant

So I asked Codestral again because why not! And this time it talked itself out of being correct…

Edit: fixed newline formatting.

And sometimes even really simple ones.

The vast majority of rural areas.

What does 300 students with cellphones do as a lifeline in any event during the school day that would actually warrant it?

I don’t think any ban is saying that they can’t have the phones in their locker, off, for use after school hours.

What I do find funny,

Fifty-eight percent of such parents want their children to have cell phones so they can get in touch with them or learn their whereabouts when needed while 48 percent say cell phones help them coordinate transportation to and from school with their children.

As if that was not a problem for previous generations that didn’t have cell phones. There are plenty of answers that work that don’t require cellphones. Like… I don’t know… Talking to your kids. Or at worst, calling the school office and relaying a message to your kids if something significantly deviates from your normal plans.

And their next line proves the point that half the children with a phone shouldn’t have it.

Nearly as many say children need mobile devices to communicate about their mental health or other needs.

No, you don’t need a phone to communicate about your mental health during school hours. Your phone isn’t the correct device to do that. If you have mental health concerns you need to see medical professionals, and if it’s immediate, the school nurse. Not your phone, not your dumb as rocks social media. Your phone is not a device that can help assuage ANY medical/health condition. The fact that the child thinks they NEED the serotonin/dopamine hit of their precious phone in order to mentally cope with anything and adults are perpetuating it… that’s just fostering dependence on these devices and makes the whole thing worse.
