Right, but the sensors can be designed for semis, and the trailers should have the sensors just like they have brake lights.

I’ve often wondered why every new passenger vehicle sold in the US over the past decade or so has sensors that let you know if there’s something in your blind spot, but semis are not using this technology even though they have much larger blind spots. I would think you’d see trucks adopting this other safety equipment before they go full self-driving.

Now they can burn through more of the expensive diesel than before!

I was a deckhand on a tug boat for 1 year when I was 18.

Among my coworkers I had the most teeth, the least number of arrests, the least number of ex wives, and the least number of tattoos. I also was involuntarily involved in a felony that ended with one of my coworkers attempting to rape me. Also, working on the river during winter really sucked. Oh, and part of the job involved cleaning fertilizer out of empty barges, so now I have periodic chest scans to look for cancer. One of my other coworkers also tried to light a cigarette whole we were sweeping up the fertilizer dust.

I understood the value of a college education after that year.

I grew up in Kentucky in the 80s and I grew up calling it a racial slur… and there was no shame around my neighborhood in calling it that because that’s just what it was called. I had no idea what the word meant until years later and now looking back on it I’m disgusted at all of the adults in my neighborhood who let us call it that.

Last week I watched O Brother Where Art Thou with my almost 10 year old daughter and at one point in the movie after it had been said a few times my daughter turned an looked at me and asked “What does ‘negro’ mean?”… and with that I feel like I’ve done a good job at stopping institutional racism in my family line.

I’ve had so many enjoyable hours of playing NMS, and eventually it does get to a point where I’ve completed the current missions and I’ve done everything multiple times and it gets repetitive… and I stop playing it. Then they have a release, and it’s an exciting game again.

I love that it’s still getting updates because it keeps me coming back. I can’t wait to check out this latest update!

Money. It rewards money.

Those who have money are the only ones deserving of getting money.

He blocks the camera but not the mic… you’d think someone accessing his microphone would be much more of a security risk that accessing his camera.

This is a great question, but I feel that the better question is: If a model was trained on open source code, should all code created by that model then be subject to the licensing from the code it was trained on?

I’m really hoping we can fix the current issues with the Supreme Court before this question comes before it because it’s going to be hilarious when every company that has used AI assisted coding is forced to publish their source code.

He can still be a bitch.

And Kimi is also a woman’s name.

Yeah, this appears to be for entertainment purposes only.

One might even go so far as to call it a black hole sun.

If you’re looking for intelligent conversation with people in a niche community, you’re better off looking on Reddit than Lemmy.

A good friend of mine is an artist… he studied pottery, has actual degrees in it. He’s an incredible potter.

He and I get into heated arguments over what ‘art’ is, and who can be an ‘artist’. I claim that an artist is anyone who declares themselves to be an artist, and art is anything an artist has created and has declared it as art. He claims that an artist is only someone who has dedicated time to studying the art and has put in many hours of practice, and art can only be created by a ‘real’ artist.

I concede that someone who has studied and practiced is much more likely to create good art, but even shitty art is still art.

Such is the life of a pirate… morning is permanent and all good things will come to an end.

It’s always good to have alternatives and ensure you’re keeping up with them.

Perhaps, but you were just bitching about 3D movies being an option and claiming that since it’s an option it’s being shoved down your throat. So, yeah, I was matching the energy of your insufferable comment.

That most have been so hard on you, having choices. I’m glad you survived.

I’ve seen all 3 Avatar movies in the theater, and not once was I forced to watch it in 3D. You probably need to find a different theater if yours is shoving shit down your throat.

James Cameron is in no way past his prime. He is a highly accomplished technical movie maker and his contributions have had a positive, lasting impact on the industry. Avatar will not be remembered for its storytelling, but it will be remembered for the technical advances that came from it.

I think he said that if he doesn’t do the final 2 movies then he’ll release them as novels, so there will at least be an ending.
