Good point! If vehicles are communicating like that, which I’ve always thought would be the ultimate for efficiency, you’d have to protect against poison pills. That would be even more difficult with disparate systems cooperating.

Reminds me of the car “chase” scene in I, Robot.

I wonder if this could be a step in the direction of forcing manufacturers to allow custom/open source/audited software in all vehicles. If it can be done in some foreign-made vehicles, it can be done in domestically made ones too.

Also note that it says “connected and autonomous vehicles”. If that means two categories, “connected vehicles” and “autonomous vehicles”, it could be quite broadly applied to vehicles that download updates over the air. If it means “autonomous vehicles that are connected” it could be somewhat narrow and an easy work around is to leave the autonomous vehicles disconnected from the internet. I’m not sure how much self-driving abilities are run on servers?

Top level comment is talking about using it for learning. Saying that AI is just regurgitating text doesn’t address that fact at all. In fact it sounds like you were putting down the commentor for using it for learning.

The bulk of your comment was about how poorly it writes code which isn’t what that comment was talking about. At all. So yes, I agree, you should have separated your two thoughts and probably focused the second thought on a different thread within this post. Perhaps at the top level to say it to the OP.

That isn’t what the comment you replied to was talking about so that’s why you’re getting downvoted even though some of what you said is right.

Tiktok is probably used 10 times as much though (users x time on the app) and Temu isn’t spreading messages in quite the same way. Comparing apples and gerbils, whataboutism, etc.

Perhaps, but the point was to indicate OP’s odd assumptions about this community vs the videos one.

Maybe you need flair for the technology community?

They talk a lot about the high number of non-certified teachers that have been hired, but how many certified teachers have applied and not gotten a full-time gig?

If it’s 10, maybe the school districts have an issue.

If it’s 1, maybe the issue is with her?

Do you actually use their “recommended” view?

Yes, it lists shows I’m currently watching and takes me directly to the next episode.

Do you primarily watch Plex live TV or their other ad supported movies?

No, never.

I would not want my settings affected by the servers I connect to. That would piss me off.

Where do you imagine setting the default?

My biggest complaint is that it defaults to “recommended” instead of “library”… it doesn’t save that view as default unless you go into settings and change it to remember changes.

That’s a pretty minor gripe considering there is a setting for it. Also, given that it’s a you-get-it-one-way-or-the-other kind of setting, they’re always going to be upsetting someone.

I think it should be lower-case “karen” and equally applied to any gender.

This is next-level stupidity. The neighbour, the cops… absolute jokes.

If this had happened in my neighbourhood as a kid, the neighbour who called the police would be the target of relentless eggings, TPings, and just general mischief for years to come. Good luck buddy.

I mean, they obviously didn’t put up this ad. It’s hilarious and well done, but it’s pasted over top of the glass.

Part of the reason to use the Red Cross (or any NGO) is because it can do things outside the full government purview.

It’s also a good way to get money from citizens across the country to assist the people affected. Think of it as AB spending $1 to get $1 from the feds and $1 from citizens/donations. Imagine how people would react if the AB government put out a request for donations directly.

it’s the f-ing government - either just go help people who need help because they’re your people or contract with red cross to do the helping for you with accountability for the job they do.

Agreed, and I believe that both of these are happening in Alberta. The Red Cross is contracted by the AB and local governments to provide certain services in disaster management, and the AB and local governments provide some of the services themselves.

I don’t feel like the government should be matching donations to a private organization

It’s an NGO, not-for-profit, registered charity, with a mandate to provide humanitarian aid. Calling it a “private org” is a bit disingenuous.

From the Red Cross:

Donations to the Canadian Red Cross will be used for assisting those impacted in Jasper and other affected areas in Alberta with immediate and ongoing relief including financial assistance, support to evacuees and the communities hosting them, recovery and resilience efforts in response to the wildfires, as well as supporting community preparedness and risk reduction for future all-hazard disaster events within Alberta.

I don’t know how (or if) AB audits this, which is the crux of your issue with it I guess, but in a way they don’t have to. If the Red Cross provides services for Albertans in a manner that is close to the value AB spent, they haven’t lost anything. Hopefully it’s (much) better than break even though.

And before we get into the efficiency of the Red Cross for dollars donated, remember we’re talking about governments here. They’re not exactly the paragons of efficient spending.

Air Canada forgot how to fly airliners during COVID.

Wow. That’s one raging fire. I did a rare foray to Reddit to check it out and there are quite a few videos including one showing the crane collapse.

Quite the day.

Couldn’t CrowdStrike do this to Linux too? And couldn’t that be much worse? Like deeper network infrastructure?
