LLMs will eventually start feeding of search results from other LLMs and they'll just start regurgitating each others nonsense. If that isn't happening already.

Nobody is going to point an LLM at a good data source because that would mean spending money on actually useful stuff not fast cars and booze.

In the EU at least that would be illegal - you can't void an entire warranty, only relevant bits.. and since windows doesn't have a warranty anyway..

The canonical example is you can't void the warranty on a car engine because you changed the stereo. 'Doing x will void the warranty' is almost never the full story.

A compliant yaml parser will read json, as they're essentially siblings.. so just write your configs in json and they'll work, if you dislike yaml.

Tesla has AEB but by the time something like that triggers you're reducing the severity of the crash not eliminating it.

It's likely the car braked at 100km/h but was still doing 50 when it hit.. at those speeds it's fatal whatever happens.

These days it'll detect that and shut down anyway.

I've had my hand misdetected as a 'defeat device' once.

It does and did... He kept driving anyway. Drink drivers FTW.

I presume AEB kicked in but all that can do is reduce the speed of inpact.. if you're determined to kill yourself there's not much the car can do.

Tips aren't taxed.

[–] tony@lemmy.hoyle.me.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Absolutely.. service charge or tip, pick one. No double dipping.

Here in the UK service charges are always labelled 'voluntary' to get around the law I think. They're incredibly bad for business though.. people don't like having extra charges slapped on and the servers don't like being asked (not always politely, from what I've seen) to have them removed. People don't go back to such places.. It's been a while since I've seen a restaurant try to do it, but I reckon they're still out there.

I've definitely tipped developers (through the 'buy me a coffee' site, or occasionally patreon). But I'm unusual I think..

They seem to be massively overcharging, which makes the whole thing a lot wilder. At those prices they could afford to pay their staff well and abolish both tips and service charge..

Suspect the owner is just a knob.

In Europe everyone charges what's needed to pay the staff, with varying tip/no tip cultures. There's no added risk. In the US unless everyone suddenly switched at once (eg. making tipping illegal overnight) then the restaurants that increased prices would be taking a financial risk because it might drive customers away.

In truth, food price probably works out about the same anyway.. in the US the menu price has service charges tax and another 20% added on top of that for a tip. In Europe the price on the menu is what you pay. . it already includes everything except the tip, and tipping is voluntary for good service (depending on country, Europe isn't one culture).

Knowing some of the absurd stories I've heard from americans (tipping car salesmen, pharmacies..) then tipping walmart wouldn't surprise me at all.
