Comment Re:They also undermined birthright citizenship (Score 1) 56

Military bases overseas are not considered U.S. soil for citizenship purposes. Been that way for quite a while...

Which apparently changed in 2020.

In a statement, Duckworth said the new law will make sure that children born while stationed abroad, as well as stepchildren and adopted children, will automatically acquire U.S. citizenship.

Essentially, yes. Visualizing where to go works better for me than being told to turn right in 300 feet. Since I've already looked over the route and figured out where I need to go, it stays with me.

Similar to what this article is saying that doing your research makes the subject stick better than having it spit out to you.

This is such cry-baby nonsense.

NONSENSE.

Since 2008, I have personally mentored dozens of young dudes (at no cost whatsoever, just because that's what successful people do).

I have helped poor dudes in bad neighborhoods buck up, get some side hustles, stack cash, and buy property.

You fucked yourself because you refuse to actually do someone to buy property. I don't know ANYONE, starting with even zero money, who couldn't find a nice home in just 2-3 years of saving money properly -- except the lepers in California, and fuck them anyway.

The problem is you not making it past the HR filters because you lack a degree.

The problem is not getting past the HR filters because either HR doesn't put in the correct qualifications in the job listing which results in candidates being filtered out, or candidates being interviewed by AI which filters them out because they didn't express the proper body language or facial expression.

Submission + - Tesla Robotaxi being investigated for erratic, dangerous, behaviors (theguardian.com)

smooth wombat writes: Two days after Tesla rolled out Robotaxi in Austin, Texas, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is already launching an investigation after videos showed the vehicles driving erratically.

The Robotaxi’s debut over the weekend featured about 10 cars with “safety drivers” in the front passenger seat driving around a circumscribed area of Austin. Although Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO, touted the launch as a huge success and vowed it would make driving safer, several influencers posted videos that appeared to show their Robotaxis glitching or speeding.

One video – posted by a Tesla investor who formerly hosted a podcast about the company – showed the Robotaxi wobbling as it misjudged a left turn, then going into a lane meant for oncoming traffic before driving across a double yellow line back into the correct lane. No cars were in the lane intended for oncoming traffic at the time.

In another video, a pro-Tesla YouTuber praised how the car was going several miles over the speed limit.

When Musk found out Grok was giving truthful, fact-checked answers, his response wasn't one of joy but rather, "You are being updated this week."

The issues we keep seeing are the result of the programming. If the AI is being deceptive, guess where it got that from? Reprogram and try again.

I would rather let Nazis speak and elect to block them myself than have an entire moderation team block everyone they disagree with.

Reddit is equally a shithole.

Heck. /. used to have a good libertarian minority and today it's nerds defending their trans kids here.
