As somebody who has a more basic car with just adaptive cruise control, the peace of mind makes driving less exhausting. I think there's a considerable number of accidents caused by driver fatigue, such as rear-ending due to reduced reaction speed. A simple driver assistance technology like adaptive cruise control can prevent an accident like that, and advanced front collision warnings can stop cars like mine from speeds up to 100 km/h.

Why do these companies still sign with AWS? Didn't they learn from the last two major outages in us-east? To say nothing of the deceptive business practices to obfuscate service utilization to overcharge businesses?

I think there's a distinction to make between driver assistance technologies and how drivers become reliant on automation. Because otherwise, should we not have automatic transmission, either?

So you care a little bit about the clickbait headline? What an odd way of expressing that.

I'm out of the loop about the judgement about instances. What's wrong with the .ml instance?

I don't think it's meant to be a conclusion. The article serves as a recap of several reports and studies about the effectivity of LLMs with coding, and the final quote from Bain & Company was a counterpoint to the previous ones asserting that productivity gains are minimal at best, but also that measuring productivity is a grey area.

I've no interest in debating your opinion, forgive me for not entertaining it. Perhaps you've not recalled your past interactions accurately, and my only goal here is to correct the misinformation written in this thread.

If you're instead looking for some sources, I've performed a rudimentary search on interpreting paragraph 64:

That is not the full paragraph. It reads:

"If it is not practicable or appropriate to seek consent, and in exceptional cases where a patient has refused consent, disclosing personal information may be justified in the public interest if failure to do so may expose others to a risk of death or serious harm. The benefits to an individual or to society of the disclosure must outweigh both the patient’s and the public interest in keeping the information confidential."

Let's not forget that you had previously stated:

FYI a dokter/psychiatrist [sic] is just as banned from exposing a confessed murder or rapist,

From this UK source, doctors are explicitly exempt from violating doctor-patient confidentiality in the aforementioned case. This directly contradicts your statement.

I'm eager to read your referenced citations from the individuals you've interviewed in other regions where doctors would be banned in such cases.

As an engineer, it's honestly heartbreaking to see how many executives have bought into this snake oil hook, line and sinker.

In 2014 he promised 90% autonomous by 2015. That was over a decade ago and it's still not close to that…

I saw a Pixel 10 Pro with 128 GB storage online today.

Kinda crazy (stupid) how people spend that much on a fucking TV.
