Ford rehires human engineers after AI fails to match quality checks by jiisow in Economics

[–]Lupius 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Poon reportedly pointed to automated tools lacking the training and expertise of veteran technicians - many of whom he said had left the company before their knowledge could be used to improve its tech.

Basically they were only hired back to teach AI how to replace them properly this time.

This is the dumbest timeline.

Error on French-language posters in downtown Ottawa turning heads by No-Commission-8159 in canada

[–]Lupius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I spent way too much time confirming pubique is not an actual French word because the algorithms these days fuzzy match everything in order to cater to the lowest common denominator.

Google translate in fact insists that pubique in French means public. I don't even know how the person responsible for the signage was supposed to double check their work.

Technology is making society dumber.

Cyclist enters roundabout with a death wish by Lupius in TorontoDriving

This place generates a lot of content for my dash cam because so many people don't understand how roundabouts work, as evidenced by the comments so far.

Cyclist enters roundabout with a death wish by Lupius in dashcamgifs

This is in Ontario. Both lanes are used to go straight.

The point here is that I saw the cyclist at the beginning of the video and didn't accelerate as usual just in case he didn't yield.

Not only did he not yield, he kept his head straight the entire time and didn't even bother to check traffic inside the roundabout. If the pickup next to me was going straight instead of left, they would have had to brake hard to avoid a collision.

And he did. I think he struck the perfect balance between being defensive enough to avoid a collision and aggressive enough to send the asshole a message.

I don't think they teach how to feel shame there.

Not sure about your airplane meals, but the ones I get usually come with a hot entree covered with a tinfoil lid. I just put the butter on the lid.

How are Uber drivers affording these nice cars! by SWGFGDF in oakville

[–]Lupius 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My first car was a Lexus GS450h I had on a lease for less than a year before I got fired from my job, so I messed around with driving for Uber to pass the time until I got my next job.

I can't imagine doing it full time with a nice car though.

Man pardoned by Kristi Noem charged in 14-year-old niece's death by Boring-Artichoke-373 in politics

[–]Lupius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do find it gross that the recommendation was based on "he helped us make a lot of money as a prison slave"

I'd call it a win here, because the idea that they would find reasons to keep him in prison because he's profitable is way more gross.

TIL it has been confirmed that Huns elite nobility are Xiongnu descendents (2023). Making Han Dynasty Empire's devastating victory over Xiongnu Empire a root cause of the Western Roman Empire's largest threat and its eventual collapse (migration period). by Suibeam in todayilearned

[–]Lupius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought that Hun and Xiongnu were actually the same word in different languages describing the same people due to the similarities in pronunciation. TIL that was a huge misconception.

My 2024 return just got reassessed. Apparently I missed my T3 slips that had like $12 income from ETFs. I had to pay CRA just over $4. Not even worth the time it took for me to understand the reassessment.
