I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it

I’m not entirely sure if it uses Unicode, ASCII or something else…

I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it’s been a minute since I read that book

Oh I’m not trying to correct you I just have less than 0 social awareness and saw a word with a funny history so I shared my knowledge on it lol

Scuttlebutt in this case refers to gossip, which is also why the water fountains are called scuttlebutt - people would gossip around them

I’ve been poking around Beeper for a while, but only some of their code is open source unfortunately. They have good ideas in their privacy statements, but I haven’t personally verified them.

That being said, the functionality is insane. Combining a lot of the major messaging apps into one is incredibly convenient

His insurance won’t cover him in an accident

Are you sure he hasn’t taken the proper precautions of just getting commercial insurance and filing taxes 4x a year (assuming US based)? Like yeah, you shouldn’t just go get in your car and go to a bar and offer people rides for money but if this guy has regular customers I wouldn’t be surprised if he also knows how to look into his own rights

Using an AI as a regex checker is so smart and I’m mad it never occured to me that it was possible lol. I’ve just been pouring over random forum posts for it

If you already know what you want but want to save time writing it

IME, going to ChatGPT for code usually meant losing time, cause I’d go back and forth trying to get a usable snippet and it would just keep refactoring the same slop that didn’t work in its first attempt

I swapped from uBlock to AdNauseum. It’s a fork of uBlock which also “clicks” some specific ads in order to cost companies money for running them lol

Yes, but apparently that didn’t come across according to the votes lol

Yeah what do I care if Jimmy down the street enjoys using his Ollama chatbot? I’m too busy worrying about Terminator panning out

By creating regulations that apply to the creation of those things? Level 1 AVs exist and as such regulations exist for AVs. These regulations apply to level 4 AVs despite being mostly theoretical.

The other commenter in this thread basically already answered this as well by talking about how manufacturers need to prove the safety of it before it can be green it.

That makes sense. The VW I’m thinking of may have been level 3 (trying to remember autonomous driving levels off the top of my head so don’t quote me on this), as I believe it needed guidance from on-road infrastructure to double check safety issues, which would have obviously been too much hassle for the US.

The proof of concept was miles ahead of Tesla has ever been, though, so it’s unfortunate that we can’t be bothered to add some sensors to the road

Aren’t level 4 systems still illegal in the US anyway? I remember Volkswagen holding off on a minibus due to this limitation when they managed to create a working proof of concept 8ish years ago
