The printed picture of the guy casts shadows like it's 3D. It keeps messing with my head I think.

But really there's a lot of very cool stuff in this picture, with the toy and the printed version matching, but not quite, and the plastic packaging. Neat.

Good point! If vehicles are communicating like that, which I've always thought would be the ultimate for efficiency, you'd have to protect against poison pills. That would be even more difficult with disparate systems cooperating.

Reminds me of the car "chase" scene in I, Robot.

I wonder if this could be a step in the direction of forcing manufacturers to allow custom/open source/audited software in all vehicles. If it can be done in some foreign-made vehicles, it can be done in domestically made ones too.

Also note that it says "connected and autonomous vehicles". If that means two categories, "connected vehicles" and "autonomous vehicles", it could be quite broadly applied to vehicles that download updates over the air. If it means "autonomous vehicles that are connected" it could be somewhat narrow and an easy work around is to leave the autonomous vehicles disconnected from the internet. I'm not sure how much self-driving abilities are run on servers?

Top level comment is talking about using it for learning. Saying that AI is just regurgitating text doesn't address that fact at all. In fact it sounds like you were putting down the commentor for using it for learning.

The bulk of your comment was about how poorly it writes code which isn't what that comment was talking about. At all. So yes, I agree, you should have separated your two thoughts and probably focused the second thought on a different thread within this post. Perhaps at the top level to say it to the OP.

That isn't what the comment you replied to was talking about so that's why you're getting downvoted even though some of what you said is right.

I'm not saying biometrics should replace all usernames. I'm saying that they should be used as usernames/identification at best.

What if you want to have more than one account with a provider, but you have only one face?

Are you serious or are you being pedantic and trolling? That doesn't change my point, your face shouldn't be the password to both accounts. It's pretty easy to add another step for multiple accounts.

Biometrics should be usernames, not passwords. Fingerprints, irises, faces, vocal patterns, all of it, no matter how good it is, only identifies the person trying to enter/use something and is somewhat easy to steal without their knowledge.

If you want true security you still need to ask for a passcode that only the now-identified user will know.

And yes, it is still possible to intercept the passcode at the moment that the user interacts with the locking mechanism, but that is completely different from grabbing it when they're randomly walking down the street, etc.

(Edit to add: I didn't think this needed to be explained, but I'm not saying biometrics should replace usernames, I'm saying they shouldn't have replaced passwords. And yes, you can still use biometrics in the authentication process to identify that it's you, i.e. your username, but you still need a password.)

Won't upvote because I can't believe this is unpopular!

Tiktok is probably used 10 times as much though (users x time on the app) and Temu isn't spreading messages in quite the same way. Comparing apples and gerbils, whataboutism, etc.

Perhaps, but the point was to indicate OP's odd assumptions about this community vs the videos one.

A little early for Encino Man, but I can dig it.

Maybe you need flair for the technology community?

Yeah, I went by the examples in the text, not the title :)

I think that's what OP did mean given the examples.

I can keep you busy for a while in Canada...

There are many additional funny ones, but I mostly tried to keep with a theme above.

So, along the way back you can check out Salmon Arm, Vulcan, Eyebrow, Moose Jaw, Flin Flon, Punkydoodles Corners, Swastika, Emo, Utopia, Saint-Louis-du-Ha!-Ha!, Asbestos, Peakaboo Corner, Sober Island, Crapaud, Jerrys Nose, Witless Bay, Goobies, and many, many more.

They talk a lot about the high number of non-certified teachers that have been hired, but how many certified teachers have applied and not gotten a full-time gig?

If it's 10, maybe the school districts have an issue.

If it's 1, maybe the issue is with her?

Do you actually use their "recommended" view?

Yes, it lists shows I'm currently watching and takes me directly to the next episode.

Do you primarily watch Plex live TV or their other ad supported movies?

No, never.

I would not want my settings affected by the servers I connect to. That would piss me off.
