  • Can Android auto "safety break" be disabled somehow?

    Jump

  • That's the point I'm making, android cannot know who is driving and has to assume it's the user of the phone because that is the safest assumption. There should be an option to accept liability for using the phone and driving but that may not be legally defensible. Sexy people outside my window should also sign disclaimers because I keep crashing my car looking at them.

  • Face it: Donald Trump, at 78, has lost his grip

    Jump

  • He has been mildly incoherent for a couple of decades. In the past most of his apparent dithering can be attributed to figuring out how to say something repugnant or false without becoming legally liable. As his mind decays this meandering style of speech has become untethered. He can't remember the complicated web of lies anymore. I wonder how much self awareness he truly has.

  • Former Google CEO says climate goals are not meetable, so we might as well drop climate conservation — unshackle AI companies so AI can solve global warming

  • We know that we have to reduce pollution and that it presents an existential threat to our children. Why are we still listening to charismatic psychopaths when it comes to matters of science and engineering? He is not remotely equipped to competently answer this question from a technical or ethical point of view.

    This vulture and his ilk have had their time, step aside old man.

  • “You will be more conservative as you grow older”

    Jump

  • Maybe we become more extreme in our existing beliefs. My political compass position drifted right from bottom left as I hit my thirties. After the Iraq invasion of 2003 and recessions following 2008 it swung back towards Ghandi. I became convinced that conservative politics isn't working in my late forties and that has only been reinforced as I try to access the creaking UK healthcare system.

  • Can Android auto "safety break" be disabled somehow?

    Jump

  • Android cannot know who is scrolling but it does know it is connected to a car. The obvious solution is to disconnect it from the car in order to scroll through the app. It's completely insane to use a phone while driving and that's the origin of the message. Attempting to subvert that mechanism is asking for trouble.

  • EU moving towards more xenophobic view of ‘Europeanness’, report warns

    Jump

  • An institution like the EU is always going to be vulnerable to bigots and idiots in large numbers. The EU is also often viewed as an impediment to big business. Their values are not the same and I'm glad about that.

  • Google search is still pretty good although definitely not what it was in its ad-free heyday. That you would go to the trouble of complaining about it is incomprehensible, given the plethora of credible alternatives.

  • OpenAI is reportedly going all-in as a for-profit company

    Jump

  • Step 1. Make an AI that hoovers up content.

    Step 2. When owners of content complain about privacy violations and copyright infringement, allay their fears. This AI is for the Good of Humanity.

    Step 3. ???

    Step 4. Profit.

    TIL over 500'000 German prisoners of war died in forced labour camps, after the German surrender, while detained in the Soviet Union. With the latest survivors only being released a decade later.

  • Wehrmacht was not a Nazi organisation. Members were free to join the party but they were not under any obligation. The SS was an explicitly Nazi army but completely separate from the Wehrmacht.

    German people were compelled to 'support the troops' in the same way that Americans are compelled to support their many illegal invasions of sovereign territory. The British continue to build and operate colonial era warships. The main difference is they were on the winning side, lmao, etc.
