I can't imagine how many legal departments shit themselves over this one. IP security as well. what the fuuuu

mojofrododojo ,

great quote from an amazing author.

any idea why the image saves a .json?

mojofrododojo ,

In the 80s we got a giant zenith that could answer the phone. It was gigantic, but the crt was 28" iirc. As it aged it took more and more percussive maintenance to coax into life.

mojofrododojo ,

Send me on a permanent vacation travelling the world

https://foreignlegion.info/joining/ bon voyage & bonne chance!

mojofrododojo ,

I hope they have some kind of telemetry system.

TOP 10 BY LENGTH

TOP 10 BY GIRTH

TOP 10 BY % of methane emitted

TOP 10 BY DECIBEL

interpretive grunting / prayer (In some regions known as seis de mayo) - I'm afraid this requires judges at the ready, so may not be practical.

what other empirical measurements could offer meaningful opportunities for competition?

We're gonna make the shitlympics out of this

His own attorney made sure they got VonShitzHisPants entered into the court record. That wasn't NY state, the judge, or anyone else besides Donny's legal representation.

I imagine they all loathe him so much.

aw the vonshitsinpants upset someone lol

mojofrododojo ,

worst part is when they have 57 AAA games but all their friends play fucking roblox have become obsessed with making content with roblox so they can join the child labor pool it uses.

fucking worst company in the universe.

mojofrododojo ,

You have no idea how good you have it. Spent a substantial amount of time in my youth moving from one side of the country to the other. We had books, when we had enough light. And whatever radio mom/dad wanted to listen to. And chainsmoking parents who wouldn't open the windows.

No phones, no smart phones, no gameboys, just miles and miles of reading (thank god I don't get carsick and love books) or, when you couldn't because of lack of sunlight, you just did nothing. I would have murdered someone for a laptop with games, movies etc., not even online.

And the rest areas were still closed lol.

mojofrododojo , (edited )

yep. Missouri too. You know it's a big town when it's got a grain elevator and a rail. Not quite as absurdly flat as Kansas.

I still prefer Kansas tho, missouri is a real shit hole.

mojofrododojo ,

they also incentivized people to track their workouts, meals and bodyweight using the gym’s app (of course I never used any of these features).

wonder how much of a kickback they get from this. I can't see another good reason to fuck with your userbase.

mojofrododojo ,

I think the people who post and believe this kind of meme gravely underestimate the harm it will do to the most vulnerable and the enormous, mindboggling amount of money and time it will take to rebuild civilization.

but, like climate change, we're hostage to the people who are willing to go to the furthest extremes to advocate their position - jan 6th types, mostly. and like climate change, I don't see much to be hopeful for, even though I'm trying real hard to retain a shred of optimism for my kid's benefit alone.

mojofrododojo ,

You can’t destroy a system billions of people depend on without killing billions of people. We need to learn to not depend on it first.

walkaway vibes. I wish this were practical.

Run for office, vote, be less dependent on the system, do mutual aid.

Indeed. We need to represent a better path than tearing down civilization in the hopes that everyone will get everything on their priority list, while tempering the state from the inside with sanity and decency instead of weaponization.

mojofrododojo ,

how do we strip down civilization/society - obviously, reign in the police but we'll still need meter maids and rapist chasers (civil and criminal enforcement). so how does that work? I don't ask as a challenge, I'm genuinely curious what the process looks like to those that want it, because all i can foresee is civil war hellscape if we stumble into it without a plan.

mojofrododojo ,

ok so what's the plan then? how do you destroy the system but keep the tools needed for civilization to continue? It's an honest question because I see lots of doomer and boogaloo types but no one seems to offer up a plan.

mojofrododojo ,

There are other replies in threads where people replied with suggestions.... honestly, I can't embrace anarchist motives.... I don't know if that's a branding issue or hesitation with embracing a label far from my comfort point.

mojofrododojo ,

Only if you have a uterus. Or have melanin. Or want to vote for a non-republican.

mojofrododojo ,

a driver who was fully asleep. or maybe a driver who was dead?

why does it need to become a specious comparison for it to be valid in your expert opinion? because those comparisons are worthless.

mojofrododojo ,

So we should let musk endanger people needlessly for tesla's profits?

a human driver isn't 100% but you can at least hold the human liable for their mistakes. Is Musk going to be liable for the accidents this causes?

Because that's the human left in the loop, the fool self drive champion.

mojofrododojo ,

this is bullshit.

A human can be held accountable for their failure, bet you a fucking emerald mine Musk won't be held accountable for these and all the other fool self drive fuckups.

mojofrododojo ,

Camera only should obviously be the endgame goal for all robots.

I can't tell if you're a moron or attempting sarcasm but this is the least informed opinion I've seen in ages.

mojofrododojo ,

That's a terrifically misguided interpretation of what I said, wow.

LISTEN UP BRIGHT LIGHTS, ACCOUNTABILITY ISN'T A LUXURY. It's not some 'nice to have add-on'.

Musk's gonna find out. Gonna break all his fanboys' hearts too.

mojofrododojo ,

This stopped being about human deaths for you a long time ago.

Nope, it's about accountability. The fact that you can't see how important accountability is just says you're a musk fan boy. If Musk would shut the fuck up and do the work, he'd be better off - instead he's cheaping out left and right on literal life dependent tech, so tesla's stock gets a bump. It's ridiculous, like your entire argument.

mojofrododojo ,

You stopped being a rational agent who weighs the good and bad of things a long time ago.

sure thing, you stan musk for no reason, and call me irrational. pfft. gonna block you now, tired of your bullshit

mojofrododojo ,

Weirding modules

iirc, they're a conceit of the 1984 Lynch dune, and while cool, aren't in any of the books.

mojofrododojo ,

yeah it was a cool bit from the movie - iirc Lynch couldn't figure out a way for paul's teaching the fremen the 'weirding way' not to look like desert kung fu, so they went that route. hence weirding modules.

re: age - man, it gets us all, the past is just a smeared window for half my memories lol

mojofrododojo ,

a single pedal part instead of a pedal with a fancy design fascia on top.

mojofrododojo ,

their solution is rivets. I suspect this is going to repeat itself when the plastic around those rivet holes cracks and degrades, but the cybertwat might be off the road by then for any number of other idiotic design 'choices'

mojofrododojo ,

so the pedal fascia can slide up and get caught under the dash (there's a gap in the dash covers that it slides right into!?!?, no shit) or down and under the rug.

Either are very bad ideas for a pedal connected to that much power.

And why does the pedal need the plastic bit? because otherwise it would be unadorned, plain black.

I'm of the mind that I'd prefer my pedals simple, so they're less likely to kill someone lol.

mojofrododojo ,

And, since the ram is soldered to the fucking mobo, you can't upgrade it yourself. It's a ridiculous and craven strategy for a company already nickel and diming their customers.

but the cultists still love them.

mojofrododojo ,

640k should be enough for anything right?

fuck progress, eh?

goddamn this is dumb.

mojofrododojo ,

jfc this is inane.

there's this thing called multitasking, you might have heard of it. when you want to open more than one app and use them all at the same time, GUESS WHAT BRIGHT LIGHTS? Takes more memory.

This is the dumbest shit take I've ever seen.

mojofrododojo ,

LOL, you think people don't multitask on smart phones and tablets?

oof.... and yes, on android you can have both open on the same screen at the same time. I don't know about fischer price unix, er, aye-aye-aye-os...

nah, didn't misread, you're def the sharpest tool in the spoon drawer.

mojofrododojo ,

I mention tablets because it's the same os - iOS or Android - on both. tsk. guess you forgot that point.

or it never occurred to you. bright lights indeed.

mojofrododojo ,

Okay bright lights, sure thing, you stick with your tiny amount of ram and see how that works out in the future. Meanwhile the rest of the world will move on.

It's funny, though, that ram is a commodity and you're fine with apple's ridiculous upsales, to the point where you'll claim there's no need. Frankly I'm surprised you're not rocking an OG iphone with that attitude. You do you, keep simping for apple, stay in the 2010s. Aloha, from the future!

Gonna block you now so I don't have to reply to another stupid comment.

mojofrododojo ,

…of course, if we actually took road safety that seriously it’d be devastation to the entire car industrial complex. Because much of that industry is focused on design patterns that, in fact, cannot be done safely or sustainably.

every time I see a truck with a 4' hood line or a 21" touch screen in place of actual controls, I wonder when we're going to see another Nader, someone to strike out at the manufacturers for pushing shit that is unsafe at any speed.

mojofrododojo ,

or just sensible rules on letting people purchase vehicles appropriate for all the driving public. overweight lifted monster shitwagons aren't doing anyone favors.

mojofrododojo ,

What I want is a personal assistant that knows me extremely well, is able to tirelessly work on my behalf, and has a personality tailored to my needs and interests.

and you're not concerned at all about this information being compromised and used against you?

phew.....

mojofrododojo ,

Do you really think you'll be able to run a full fledged, real-feeling AGI on home hardware?

Perhaps an assistant, maybe...

but good on you for forethought.

mojofrododojo ,

ten years from now, Unity may just be some asset-mart on the web. Honestly tho the asset makers will flow to wherever the userbase is, eventually.

mojofrododojo ,

Met a guy a few days ago who had just purchased a new Chevy Silverado. The hood was at his shoulder. He installed a front camera because he can't see shit from the driver's seat. It's not even lifted.

When will the lawsuits for these fundamentally unsafe designs start?

mojofrododojo ,

this also lead me to longboarding - I loved skating short decks as a kid, but the vibration transmitted from street skateboard wheels wrecks my ability to enjoy it with knee and back pain. big, squishy longboard wheels just eat the cracks and rocks up and I can ride for hours.

mojofrododojo ,

modern trucks for sure, they're - at least in the US from personal experience - frequently FAR oversized for their actual use needs.

I had an s-10 second hand in the 90s and it was crazy gas efficient and handy as a hammer. not a highway cruiser or a gigantic hauler, but it handled lumber and sod and shingles just fine. for some reason, they literally don't make a truck that size anymore. same with the Kei truck form factor - it's just gone, the only I see here in the US are old, pre-2010 stock.

mojofrododojo ,

anti-Tesla bros

you'd really trust your life to something 'developed' by musk?

lol you do you... strange hill to literally die on.

mojofrododojo ,

lol... do your door handles work? trunk seals?

if you don't trust them to get simple shit right, how vacuous would trusting their driving tech be?

mojofrododojo ,

which is hilarious because they're pushing us to touch screens when these devs all grew up on physical interfaces, you know, the ones that worked? goddamn give me switches and knobs any day over touch screens

mojofrododojo ,

well, I hope your misplaced enthusiasm for the tech doesn't get someone murdered.

please, be attentive when you 'fool self drive'.

mojofrododojo ,

Who said I expected thousands of deaths? Strawman argument ftw I guess.

Meanwhile in reality: Tesla Autopilot Involved in 736 Crashes since 2019

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44185487/report-tesla-autopilot-crashes-since-2019/

mojofrododojo ,

just people's lives lol, no biggie. because musk lies.

well, since you're so invested, hopefully karma finds you.
