Yes it does. I would venture there are alternative solutions but I can’t imagine what they are in any detail, just generally:

Maybe these trucks operate more like trains and have a designated lane where motorists do not have to encounter them?

I think it’s a great idea to require a human attendant for giant autonomous machinery.

If the company does not provide the attendant, then the public is just going to shoulder that burden.

I am NOT going to protect or respect unattended property like an autonomous truck if it runs off the road or rams my vehicle or is a risk to my own safety, for example.

I’m pretty sure I’d be offended just having to ride behind it on the freeway as it drives precisely the speed limit in all traffic conditions - can’t say for sure until I’ve experienced it though.

This would make a really cool art installation where you start at the top of a multistory building and keep walking through and turning right before going downstairs to the next room where you walk through and turn right before going downstairs to the next room… Etc etc.

If all the furniture got progressively smaller as the walls and ceilings progressively closed in, it would feel just like this picture.

Or you could leave everything the same size and it would still make for a surreal experience going down, through, right, down, through, right, etc until popping out into the street - at that last set of stairs you’d be certain the door in front of you would lead straight into the identical living room from every other floor. Seeing the street instead would be a real mindfuck.

There are a bunch of online tools that are free and let you upload a PDF to have it go through OCR.

Just Google “Free PDF OCR” and click through all the ads to upload, then give them a temporary email address to get a download link to the finished product.

Hot tip: There are free temporary email address sites too, if you need one to avoid getting on their ad lists.

When you have privacy settings, what you really have is a lie.

It starts out with good intentions, like those in this post, but eventually everyone forgets that the platform still sees your posts and does not give a shit about selling them.

I would rather acknowledge from the very beginning that this entire system is not private, so there is never such a misunderstanding.

Everyone should post and comment with caution, just like you use caution with what you say in public places.

If you tear the bun, you’ve got a sandwich on your hands for sure!

Nope! It has bread on three sides, so it’s a taco.

Sandwiches only have bread on two sides.

I am always telling people this in the is-a-hotdog-a-sandwich debate, and this diagram makes it abundantly clear:

A hotdog is a taco.

Didn’t these jokers already try to overthrow their capital city, angling for a total annexation of Ukraine within the first few days of the conflict?

If Ukraine had not fought back, it’s statehood would have been history over a year ago.

Where should the outrage be? To whom should it be directed? What are the specific political moves that will change the behavior of the Israeli government?

I think these are the open questions floating around in the general world population right now. They are debated, but the answers aren’t really clear to a majority.

I won’t pretend to know for certain, but I think the outrage should be among Israelis and directed at their government because that’s the only direct way to change it’s behavior.

Alternatively, I guess a 3rd country’s citizens could pressure their own government to divest from Israel or otherwise pressure them to change their ways. Of course, that’s an indirect way to change the behavior of the Israeli government and does not address any preexisting reasons for aiding Israel in the first place.

Oh, that’s probably going to mitigate some of the risk. Hey, maybe it’ll be enough!

Haha, their take is pretty charged but it’s valid imo.

People’s Park was a major local landmark with a long history that is well known to students, faculty, residents, and alumni. It had become a home to otherwise homeless people whose existence was inconvenient for the university’s expansion plans and an eyesore to arrogant passersby.

The park’s history includes both civil and violent disobedience, including against the university itself.

It would not be surprising to hear that, whatever is built on this lot, it is subsequently destroyed by an act of arson or other vandalism.

I am surprised they are taking the risk and making the investment at all. IMO it would have been safer to just buy some of the private properties surrounding the park instead, even at a premium.

IBM did it first. It wasn’t a secret. There was a Watson Health group dedicated to training ML models on medical records from large insurers and hospital networks. Among other things, the game plan was to have the system provide oversight for the notes of physicians and other medical practitioners - to spot poor quality/repetitive notes and alert the practitioner and/or their boss to the risk of malpractice/inability to bill for the encounter.

All these beef stroganoff memes got in my head and yesterday it was just about all I could do to make egg noodles and beef stroganoff from scratch.

It was fantastic. Absolutely worth it, would spend and entire Saturday on it again 👍

Don’t glue it shut, paint it shut with an acrylic paint or nail polish. Try to stick to the surface with the paint - you could even paint it to cover it/obscure it’s location as well.

This way, if you ever need to remove it you can delicately dab acetone over it to dissolve the acrylic and it will open once again!

You don’t think you’ve seen USAF stealth technology since the F-117s.

Nachos are just upgraded taco salad.

I went to a party where everyone was supposed to bring a salad and vote on the best one. I brought the nachos. The vote was unanimous.

🙋‍♂️

Ehem, well actually leavened bread came out way after flatbreads - so sandwiches are broken tacos.

It’s all tacos.
