I mean like I have a local LLM and essentially I use it as a coding assistant, but more accurately I'm doing a study of what kinds of errors these things produce more frequently and in which cases.
Its essentially a hobby that sates my curioisty and occasionally produces semi complex, working code.
... This is apparently, to MSFT, not only production ready, but 'meta-production ready'.
Yeah, if the waymo people had said 'oh fuck, we're so sorry, we can either send a car with the stuff in it to you, at a time and place of your choosing, within such and such schedule, or we can ship it to you for free, or if you want to come by the depot and pick it up, .... etc etc etc.'
That'd be one thing.
Right?
Like ... they operate a psuedo autonomous taxi service.
... Just put the guy's shit in one of your cars and drive the car to him.
At least offer that as an option, with other options in case the guy doesn't think that's secure enough.
Oh, well, most adults being paid to pefrom their role, their tasks and duties, at a job, most of them are essentially de facto capable of role modelling proper phone usage, otherwise they'd be fired.
You just don't use it while you're actively working, you know, actively engaged in the act of teaching a lesson, overseeing a lab day, etc.
If a teacher was constantly on their phone, while they're supposed to be teaching, they'd get reported and reprimanded and eventually fired.
This isn't disingenuous, to hold this assumption... this is how things have worked for a long time.
Yeah, yeah a construction or transport crew should also have restrictions on distracted driving or otherwise operating a multi ton vehicle, yes, same as a forklift operator.
They should be fired if they egregiously violate safety protocols.
Systems exist and have existed to do this.
The problem that is going on in schools is that a combination of over-exhausted and underpaid teachers, combined with incompetent/corrupt admins have just looked the other way on this for so long that its become a problem not only in schools, but also all the places those kids who went to those schools go after they've graduated.
The solution is not to equivocate, the solution is having higher standards.
And just to be clear: addictive behaviors and patterns start in adolescence, and then progress and worsen and broaden when they are not identified and addressed.
This is ... very widely the consensus of all kinds of studies into all kinds of addiction.
So having teachers model proper usage of the useful but potentially very addictive device... is arguably the most important area of society to do this with.
If you want a society that isn't constantly distracted by their rectangles... you should exemplify to them how to properly use the rectangles from a young age.
I could have sworn that the Freiza/Goku battle involves them both or each being in space, outside of the atmosphere of Namek, for at least small periods of time.
Yeah, the Freiza race can just exist in space, but I thought there were some scenes of Goku being in space for at least longer than a normal human could possibly survive.
... and then of course in the battle between Bardock and Freiza, Bardock, despite not being a Super Saiyan... along with a lot of other people... just full on have a battle in space above planet Vegeta.
Take a 2 hour trip to our depot, or pay for shipping.
... Extortion, theft.
If I gave a random person a ride, and drove off with their stuff in my trunk... I would probably be guilty of those things.
Bigger businesses that do similar things at scale have actual procedures in place to handle this kind of thing.
... There should be absolutely no excuse for a huge company like Waymo to not have a similar process as airlines or any other private transit company would have.
If they wrote a kind of contingency waiver for themselves into their TOS, legally nullify this as a bullshit thing that you cannot do.
I'm sorry, is there a massive problem of adult teachers and staff at school being constantly glued to and distracted by their phones such that it prevents them from teaching and doing what they are otherwise there to do?
No?
... Maybe the critics can ask ChatGPT what a false equivalence is.
We had early smart phones back I was in high school.
We also had this rule.
Its fine.
If its not fine, you have an addiction problem, and should seek help.
I would have the exact same opinion and recommeded course of action if the events that played out in this story occured with a taxi with a human driver and an old school taxi dispatch center.
In a (rare for me) defense of Boomers, goddamn, the one dude I knew who learned COBOL on his GI Bill out of Vietnam...
that man was a fucking wizard.
He actually cackled to me when he told me how C Suite knew he was retiring in 6 months, they were not planning on hiring a replacement for him... he was planning on being hired back as a contractor within 2 years, seeing as he personally built the company's entire transaction accounting payroll and billing systems in the mid 70s, and no one else had any idea how any of it worked.
... For an international logistics company, with over 100 offices all over the world.
But yes, the rest of the Boomers csn go back to Minions memes and being catfished by AI Brad Pitt or whatever it is they do these days on the 'puter.
My guess would be that this scene takes place before he achieved Super Saiyan and thus became essentially a demigod.
Because... iirc... he is shown to... essentially not actually really need to breathe, or at least be able to survive in the vacuum of space for a superhuman amount of time, at the end of the Freiza saga / start of the Android saga.
EDIT:
Sorry, but if you haven't seen DBZ, uh, spoilers technically I guess on this like 25 yo anime, but that's when he first becomes Super Saiyan.
I... can't actually remember the pictured scene happening... in DBZ?
Maybe it was in an episode that somehow didn't make it over to Toonami, or I think more likely, its from Dragon Ball, basically the prequel... which I have yet to actually see all of, lol.
Ah ok! I don't speak Dutch, but it looks like a kind of ... flakier, pastry style bread... honestly looks delicious!
Closest thing I've personally had to that would probably be a piroshki/pirogi, or maybe a calzone, but those both use more... bready breads, if that makes any sense, lol.

Oh well, it certainly is funny.
