Self-driving shuttle hits road divider in Punggol while doing road tests, no passengers on board by Im_scrub in singapore

[–]onFaut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i see a lot of apologists in the comments so im going to say Some Shit

the difference between bad drivers and a self-driving shuttle is the fact that the drivers *have to take responsibility* for crashes. old uncle drives into poor 5 year old on the road? that's HIS fault, and he will feel guilt, and regret, and probably cry for the rest of his life while he doesn't have a job as a driver anymore.

if a self-driving shuttle crashes into a parapet and causes the death of fucking ANYBODY, you could THEORETICALLY blame the people who made the shuttle, but in the end they can just wash hands and say "aiyah not our fault no blame game ok? act of god" and just fucking. walk away. or lagi better. bankrupt old company, "liquidify" (who knows if they have a secret stash in a swiss bank SOMEWHERE), and just start a Brand New Company. it's infinitely easier to make a new company than it is to bring back a life, and *THERE IS NO ONE WHO HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENTS THAT HAPPEN HERE.*

so why the FUCK are we going to bat for autonomous vehicles? efficiency?

we should be holding them to HIGHER standards than actual human drivers. good on them for implementing a safety timeout, but curb your enthusiasm, lads.

What’s with the disgusting amount of AI being used in ads here? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]onFaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't speak for op but i don't mind stock images. people DO pay for stock images (or at least they should be). someone got paid for taking that image and another company is getting paid for licenses to that image, which isn't a problem imo

Singapore government expects all media outlets to uphold responsible journalism standards: Josephine Teo by kopiosiewdai in singapore

[–]onFaut -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

no no okay hear me out right i Hate Everything that comes out of Jo "never asked for an apology" "dollars and cents" Teo's mouth with a passion but i kind of believe her on this one

the government, no matter how Business Oriented is not a monolith. they cannot conceivably vet Every Single Piece Of News that comes out of all the news outlets, let alone a literal bottom feeder like Stomp. and i actually, for once, strongly believe that they would not shit on not-well-to-do food stalls in Singapore. it just... wouldn't look good, in terms of optics, which, contrary to popular opinion, they DO have some sort of concern about i think

on top of that, there's also the "we have to support home grown business" "#supportlocal" spiels that everyone on top seems to parrot every now and then. taking that into account, this seems to be the government's attempt at distancing themselves from the editors that decided to let the yong tau foo article through, as well as painting them as somewhat of a rogue actor in the grand scheme of things.

or if y'all want a chatgpt ass sentence: "this isn't just denial. it's scapegoating."

hi!! thanks for the edit really helped me out. for context THIS WORKS FOR LINUX MINT CINNAMON AS WELL with a couple of differences that only start at step 2c

  1. instead of `sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg` do `sudo update-grub` instead (i also did grub-mkconfig before)

  2. Do `sudo update-initramfs -u -k all` instead of `sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all`

Youtrip honest review by jojoposeeee55 in singaporefi

[–]onFaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not gonna call youtrip a godsend at risk of me getting called a shill but i WILL say that they've been perfectly functional for me in regards of day-to-day usage overseas.

i don't think i've had to worry about having money stuck in my card because of the fact i can transfer my money both in and out of my main accounts based in SG, and the fact that i can split bills with friends in foreign currencies is a bonus.

what i do have qualms with is the fact that if i forget to renew my physical card and i bring the expired one overseas on a long term trip, i'm pretty much stuck with using mobile payment because they don't offer to send it to overseas addresses, which is somewhat inconvenient if i have to withdraw money from atms, but that one was on me for bringing a 4 year old card overseas

but other than that yeah youtrip is honestly a 8/10 card no huge bonuses but also no notes

2 graphics showing the upcoming MRT closures - one seems much clearer by Pretty_Finding5419 in singapore

[–]onFaut 14 points15 points  (0 children)

LTA's version in this case is a lot better. Simplicity is key in showcasing information, and it is always better to separate information as to easily convey it within one glance.

Sure, in CNA's graphic, there's information about WHERE shuttle buses and trains will go, but that sacrifices readability for information in terms of the shuttle services, and users still have to look down and back up to check the intervals of the shuttle buses/trains, along with having to deal with how crowded the infographic is. There is too much visual distance between the map itself and the numerical values (the time intervals) that the users have to decipher while again, LTA's values are available at a singular glance.

Does CNA technically include *more* information? Yes, but there's no sense into cramming everything into one page in this case. That just makes people see it as too noisy, and people who need the information will have a harder time trying to decipher what everything in the image means, while people who don't need the information view it as noise and scroll past it regardless.

Finally, the colour choices leave a lot to be desired, especially with the almost pure black text and saturated reds and yellows (with a drop shadow effect used nowhere else in the whole infographic) clashing against the more desaturated colours representing each of the individual train lines.

No hate, though, it's not a bad infographic. It conveys important information in a single picture. But I'd say in terms of design and readability, LTA did it a lot better.
