To those that still believe that a bunch of data loaded into memory, where data can be anything from a scientific article to a message between two lovers, getting triggered for an output with input and a basic for loop can represent anything intelligence, i have some bad news for you like damn ya'll don't you know git(hub) & huggingface? Ofcourse the drawback of that is that you are not contributing to AGI KEK!

I like seeing what users are currently viewing the same page, but man the constant jostling of users coming and going made it hard to read the post.

I have this little bookmarklet in my bookmarks bar that I use constantly. It removes all fixed or sticky elements on the page and re-enabled y-overflow if it was disabled: javascript: (function () {document.querySelectorAll("body *").forEach(function(node){["fixed","sticky"].includes(getComputedStyle(node).position)&&node.parentNode.removeChild(node)});var htmlNode=document.querySelector("html");htmlNode.style.overfl…

Its the bottom 20px or so, with a lot of content above it. Move the window down slightly.

The article literally starts with:

"Any person who has used a computer in the past ten years knows that doing meaningless tasks ..."

I guess this is demonstrating another variant of that. Admittedly, not one I'd seen before so +1 for novelty even if -20 for distraction.

isn't this the page that used to have cursors everywhere in the background? I think the distracting design is some intentional running joke at this point

Try "dark mode" foe further trolling.

Great way to remove the jostling users...!

literally just turn on your blinkers, like you should be doing anyway, and lane assistant won't trigger. you are just outing yourself as a bad driver.

sorry, you're missing my point. I explicitly said that it isn't about the need to use blinkers.

Cue up the people that start conversations with "I'm not racist, but..."

I don't agree with the thesis of this post. It is begging the question of if we have to do what computers want. > Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, ... not because they particularly want to or even need to. These were design choices made by humans, not computers.

You are so generous to call this even "thesis" lol. I read that line and I closed the page. haha

Only from lack of a better word (:

Upsert?

Lets just do all variations and have the llm guess it right the first time.

Implement all of them, with slightly different edge cases that result in glaringly obvious RCE when two or three of them are misused in place of each other.

Yep, i'd not like it too - changing lanes requires increased attention and now during the maneuver you steering wheel starts to vibrate out-of-the-blue. That isn't to argue about using of the blinker, it is about the way the assist is implemented in this case - it doesn't help directly with the blinker, instead it punishes you and thus stress-injects-and-conditions you for the instinct to use blinker next time. Net p…

No, if you need to depart your lane in a hurry you cannot be expected to use the blinker first and the car should not fight you to do so
