That’s a low bar when you consider how stringent airline safety is in comparison, and that kills way less people than driving does. If sensors can save people’s lives, then knowingly not including them for profit is intentionally malicious.
Air travel is generally safer than driving too, but every accident is studied thoroughly. Self-driving is fine, but anyone trying to implement it should be held to a high standard. Boeing slacked off and they’re facing some backlash.
“10 times safer than human drivers”, (except during specific visually difficult conditions which we knowingly can prevent but won’t because it’s 10 times safer than human drivers). In software, if we have replicable conditions that cause the program to fail, we fix those, even though the bug probably won’t kill anyone.
I was hoping after the graphical upgrade with Morrowind that they’d bring back interesting mechanics from Daggerfall, but they went the complete opposite direction for the money.
I’m glad some of them chose not to be enablers after Starfield.
In my daily experience, the voice becomes choppy when a screen is being shared. It’s the worst out of what I’ve used in the past.
The alternative I was talking about are called employee brains.
There exists an alternative that uses a lot less power. And also that power is going to get spent no matter what anyway.
Progress is slow. Start with killing the popularity of the second party/party you absolutely don’t align with/party that will move the needle away from your party first.
In the past few years, my workplace has used Webex, Zoom and Teams. I definitely hate that we’re using Teams now because the others are better when it comes to meetings. Teams is unusable for me half the time while the others just worked. Lag spike during the call? Now the microphone doesn’t work. Or it will work but no one can understand you while you talk.
In my work machine, mine has a special feature when someone shares their screen during a call and you go full-screen - the extreme audio lag feature.
Even Morrowind was a simplified version of Daggerfall, even though it was groundbreaking when it was released. They decided that the direction to take was to simplify the mechanics progressively, to make the series more appealing to more people, as opposed to adding interesting complications back as their tech develops. They succeeded in their mantra of “keep it simple, stupid”. I don’t have any hope that the next game will be more interesting. It will look prettier, of course.
Now, instead of debugging the code, you have to debug the data. Sounds worse.
MS bought ABK for its ability to make profits. ABK can’t do that if MS “cleans house”. It was very effective marketing that made people think MS would shape things up once they get their hands on shitty companies (while also effectively marketing “they would let devs be”). ABK may end up having more influence on Xbox than the other way around.
If I were stuck in the forest with a bear and another person, I’d try to gauge if I can run faster than the other person. If not, I’ll try to see if I can hit their knee caps with something. But seriously, the problem with that hypothetical situation is there’s nothing actionable, you’re either for or against, no chance of improvement. On the other hand, you shouldn’t take things personally. We all just probably wish there are things we can do to improve.
Teams started out okay. But the recent update made it worse. The microphone constantly disconnects now. Earlier today I lost sound completely just when I was being asked to talk. And the sound starts to get choppy during screen shares. I rarely had these issues with Webex and Zoom. So it’s not even more compatible with their own software. EU doesn’t have anything to worry about. /s
There are a lot of Linux talks, but I can’t stand all the people who keep saying all this place talks about is Linux. They are the ones who are everywhere here.
By the way, I came back to reddit briefly for a very specific community and ever since the stock sale started getting this:
whoa there, pardner!

This place is not only for people wanting to get away from Reddit because of their poor policies. This apparently is also a place for people who got away from reddit because they have shitty opinions that weren’t tolerated even there.
On the contrary, there are more posts here that shill for MS too, than on Reddit. But that’s probably because of too much Linux.
Being safer than humans is a decent starting point, but safety should be maximized to the best of a machine’s capability, even if it means adding a sensor or two. Keeping screws loose on a Boeing airplane still makes the plane safer than driving, so Boeing should not be made to take responsibility.
