Then you don’t know present day Germany 🙁

Your low beams were fine 20 years ago. Don’t create this expectation in drivers that they have to turn night into day. That only adds to the problem of asshole drivers prioritizing their ability to see over other people’s ability to see. Matrix headlights are unnecessary and create orders of magnitude more light pollution

Blinding headlights are due to poorly aligned low beams, too bright LED headlights, bigger cars with their headlights mounted higher and higher. So the solutions are: low beam alignment that can’t be made to blind you by the driver, regulation on luminosity and color spectrum of lights, stop financial incentives to make vehicles large, heavier, deadlier.

Being depressed and plowing through isn’t a testament of your honorable resilience. It means you should seek out help. Life isn’t like this for most people.

AI is a crapshoot, agree. But there has to be more testing before PR disasters like this happen. That isn’t “being my suppliers beta test”, rather sensible project managers not mindlessly putting it out there because the supplier said it worked. Now people are laughing at McDonald’s on top of their cost saving operations being delayed. But I agree overall that AI sucks to replace humans. I’m just criticizing McDonald’s jumping the gun

Here’s what you do: You have the AI take the order, but the human checks each item. They’ll have enough time to work out the kinks

Good for sticking to something you believe in. Highly underrated quality in engineers. “Take the money and run like a thief” is such a bullshit attitude

Can I read the full article without yet another goddamn account?

Autonomous my ass. Is a person remote controlling it from a low wage county?

Context menu is indispensable for me. So many commands can be done mouseless because of this.

Understandable to think this. Maybe we did come really close to some of those disasters, such as nuclear war. It’s just survivors bias to think that it wasn’t civilization ending danger we were in back then.

I hope we learn from that and steer clear of the danger next time, rather than think it’ll be alright because nobody happened to actually press the red button back then so I guess we worried about nothing

How about awareness that climate change will ruin us all.

It checks out that the peak of optimism in your graph is around the 80’s and 90’s. We weren’t just “optimistic” in the 90’s. We were delusional. We were ignoring problems instead of solving them

That one is actually useful and I use it every day.

Can we also talk about stupid keyboard manufacturers putting media functions and whatnot on the F keys, but then requiring me to hold Fn to use it as a regular F key? Nobody wants to go Fn+Alt+F4 to close a window. What the hell?

Great, DRM on my personal photos. Next they’re going to charge a subscription to view my own goddamn vacation pictures

Fuck this timeline. I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.

I switched to Antennapod already. Nothing to complain about.

Too bad. If we can’t block these ads, everyone will go elsewhere
