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 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.

I feel like I just stumbled upon a self projection loop.

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.

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?

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.

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

What about for times when the ammo prices skyrocket?

This literally happened not too long ago.

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 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 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.
