People already have been brainwashed on "how many years of security updates does this smartphone model have?", and being paranoid about older-than-a-few-years devices, so you're not far off.
(Not trying to diminish the necessity of software security updates, but at the same time I could not find any Android exploits that do not involve users installing malicious apps, supply chain attacks, or state actors)
If those "improperly adjusted" or pointing forward headlights weren't the same height as my eyes, they would not be a problem. Which is my exact point.
A thought occured to me the other day: there is absolutely no reason that headlights have to be on the upper part of the front grille. Mount them as close to the ground as possible. (Like busses and some cargo trucks) At least it will address a situation where pickup truck / SUV headlights are at eye level for drivers of anything smaller.
First we had Merlin Appholes who would submit misidentified and similar sounds as "sightings", but Cornell tightened the tolerances on the recognition model.
Now this. But to be fair, even before AI there was a subset of "birders" who loved to exagerrate via ignorance. Cardinal = scarlet tanager (it's red), american robin = baltimore oriole (duh, orange), red-winged blackbird = Bobolink (it says this meadow has Bobolinks, therefore, any large bird on grass = bobolink), and so on.
Article uses the "akshually humans are just complex learning machines" pro-AI argument:
The competence a human needs to oversee an AI system is not a fixed asset. It is built and kept alive through practice – the same practice the AI system is now doing instead of the human.
Keep scrolling.
HERE WeGo (aka HERE Maps) is not FOSS, but has traffic, satellite view, offline mode, etc. Some POI might be outdated (due to it being not Google)
Good engineers will produce more good code, because they ask the right questions, know what good looks like and check the output.
Best code is the code that is never written in the first place. But that concept is difficult to explain and measure for management purposes. Just because "AI" can automate well-structured, tested boilerplate for "good" developers does not mean all that boilerplate should be there.
Instead of headlights 2 feet off the ground, now we have overpowered searchlights (brighter = safer, amirite?) mounted 4 feet high, guaranteed to blind pedestrians and any shorter vehicle's driver.
"We installed postmarketOS on some older hardware, look, we are saving the planet!"
I am being facetious of course, but it would be great if manufacturers+google opened this up to everyone.
Someone I know got screwed over when 3G shut down. Their business used an alarm system with a 3G modem (using a cheap data-only SIM card).
The "updated" version requires subscriptions, an app, and goes through manufacturer's servers, so more expensive, and several more points of failure.
