It seems like a lot of people here don't understand that circumstances might be different in different places. This post itself assumes the only reason is to transport people, but the truck can do more than that.

If I lived in a rural place and needed something that could tow, transport, and go over tougher terrain, I could see the usefulness of having a truck around. Not everything is in a comfy city where everything is within a couple miles.

Now where I currently live, I'd never dream of getting a truck like that. So much hassle and the roads are too small. But I could see it being useful for someone else.

Wouldn't it make more sense to find ways on how to utilize the tool of AI and set up criteria that would incorporate the use of it?

There could still be classes / lectures that cover the more classical methods, but I remember being told "you won't have a calculator in your pocket".

My point use, they should prepping students for the skills to succeed with the tools they will have available and then give them the education to cover the gaps that AI can't solve. For example, you basically need to review what the AI outputs for accuracy. So maybe a focus on reviewing output and better prompting techniques? Training on how to spot inaccuracies? Spotting possible bias in the system which is skewed by training data?

The shopping cart one is better because it's literally just barely more time / effort. Fair trade stuff can be expensive compared to their counterpart. People in rougher financial situations really can't make that choice every time.

Wasn't that due to someone manually activating it because they thought there was an actual credible threat?

Might be misremembering though.

I think you've brought up some good points for me to think about. Could you point me in the right direction for the studies you are referring to? I wouldn't mind looking at them myself.

I wouldn't say it is "Year of the linux desktop!" But I do think eventually it will take up much more of the market of OS use. Maybe years and years away.

Linux has come a very long way. I found it is actually easier in many ways to Mac and Windows, more complicated in others.

For general use, and even gaming, it's actually in a really good state for general users right now.

I don't agree with either side in today's climate. I go as an independent. There are pieces of good policy on both sides.

I'm not a fan of Trump, not a fan of Biden. Voted Biden because I definitely didn't want Trump.

There was a period of time where I was too lazy to re-hook up my main PC to everything. I just hooked up my Steam Deck instead via a USB C hub.

It was then that I realized I don't really use my main gaming PC anymore. I just play on the Steam Deck and almost everything else is just general use most of the time.

Since then, I found I still prefer to do some tinkering on a way the Steam Deck isn't very good at, so I been thinking of selling off my PC and buying a capable laptop to have that extra ease as I found I don't need the extra performance anymore.

What about for times when the ammo prices skyrocket?

This literally happened not too long ago.

I still can't wrap my head around how she didn't even realize what she was doing. I suppose that's just how some things are.

Just think, the same mistake could've happened the opposite way.

Devil's advocate here. Where is the line? In an extreme example, ADHD is a mental condition so maybe they shouldn't have guns?

In a more nuanced example, what about the trans community? Some say it's mental disorder, some don't. So should they or should they not have any firearms. Highest cause of gun death is actually suicide and trans community has high rate of suicide.

The point I'm making is, I think we can agree some extreme examples are very easy to distinguish. But it is a very slippery slope where people's rights could be taken away without proper due process. Basically, at the mercy of the current administration's opinions rather than the actual facts of the situation.

I think the point is that correlation is not causation. A ridiculous example was used to illustrate that point.

Wouldn't conservatives want the opposite? More local governance with more personal freedom?

I do agree that the abortion should be pro-choice, but it seems like you're expanding it to be much larger than just this issue.

Someone else in the comment section somewhere gave some links that I can go over relating specifically to what you're saying.

I'm taking a look over them to help form an opinion. Haven't look at enough to really say any more on the matter yet. Although, I really don't think that some of the concerns brought up on the other side is completely off-base either.

I just love how it made so much noise but hardly went anywhere.

I wonder if that happened in real life too...

Looked at the image you provided. I can see your point about some of the sightlines. For regular commuting in most circumstances, I'll give you it. But that's the thing, you seem to be assuming a very specific circumstance and applying it to everything. You are trying to take a role of a general passenger vehicle for daily commute and applying it to a vehicle meant for work.

So yes, for regular commuting I'd say you are 100% right. But there are uses outside of such a limited scope.

That sounds like ot could be a focused lesson. Why try to skirt around what the desired goal is?

That also could be placed into detecting if something is wrong with AI too. Teach people things to just help spot these errors.

In my experience, it's so much more effective to learn how to find the answers and spot the issues than to memorize how to do everything. There's too much now to know it all yourself.
