This is the proper way to clip/frame a post. Pay attention.

Jesus, while I admire the effort that must be the most frustrating job in the world.

Them: “Here’s the solution to saving humanity and our planet and creating equity and end suffering.”

Our leaders: “No.”

I made the “investment” in an Index setup a few years ago. Had a ton of fun with HL Alyx, Boneworks, and Gorilla Tag, among others. But the novelty wore off and with no new titles we haven’t touched it ages.

So, no. I don’t really care and am surprised they are doing any kind of bug fixes for it.

Oh, and Beat Saber. That’s a blast. Maybe I should fire it up and see if there are any new bangers available.

Nope.

This is the fundamental problem with automated cars and remote (or embedded) kill switches: they can never account for the edge cases that humans can readily adapt to. People will die as a result of those edge cases. Will it save more than it costs in human life, and are we willing to make that trade as a society? I can’t answer that but neither can the people making the decisions to make Waymo profitable over public safety.

All industrial equipment is required by law to have an e-stop. Not having one in a “self-driving” car is criminal.

Being trapped in an autonomous vehicle driving erratically should have never, ever been possible. Shows you how these companies value the safety of the humans involved: they don’t.

Especially useful when full on ugly crying.

He either gets his name on an iconic building or he gets to play the victim with his base. No downside for him.

Lmao. Never were truer words written on Lemmy.

Damn, what a crazy moment in your life. Genuinely thank you for sharing. I know there’s nothing I can say that will help but I hope you find a way to not guilt yourself over it too much. We all have moments, especially when we’re emotionally exhausted like you must have been, where we’re not at our best. That’s just being human. That was thirty seconds out of two months and however much time prior where I’m sure you more than made up for it.

$250? Seems a weird denomination. Why not the $47 bill? I’d bet most Americans could scrape together $47 and frame it over their microwave oven. But $250? That’s a lot of dough.

Does he know he doesn’t get royalties? Or does he? Is there a bill in the works I haven’t heard about?

*for now

In other news, company says unexpected expenses in its technology segment are driving layoffs and site closures. Company CEO said in an interview with Forbes, “There’s no way we could have predicted this challenge. In service to our customers and our shareholders we’re right sizing our operations and reevaluating our strategic priorities. We’ll continue to focus on creating value while being a leader in our industry and accelerating AI adoption in everything we do.”

Love to see reality setting in.

Falling Down vibes.

Bingo. Not a tech issue, it is a pedagogical issue. The way we teach hasn’t changed in 50 years. The problem is systemic. Teachers are taught to develop lesson plans in antiquated ways. Teachers aren’t encouraged or empowered to innovate. Funding is insufficient. Testing takes priority over learning because funding is tied to scores. Then you’ve got big tech lobbying to suckle at the teet of taxpayer dollars influencing decisions being made where the interest of children and learning is secondary.

With things like learning long division or cursive handwriting I think we frequently run into the doorman fallacy. There is so much value in teaching people to think and teaching people to learn that we get distracted by everything having to be a useful skill for future employment.

thank me sketlel

damn, so close.

Holy shit. I’m stroking right now.

Had three of them. Have since had Prusa and Creality and I kinda miss the good old days printing by the seat of your pants and keeping the fire extinguisher nearby

More and more. My family members have started doing it and I’m afraid.
