  13. Re:rule of third thumb on The Sci-Fi Myth of Robotic Competence · · Score: 1

    and we can start worrying about how the car would tell the difference between a robot mannequin and an actual person later. just like it would hit a deer rather than drive 60mph off the road to avoid the animal(if it's a deer, just drive into it. if it's a moose, do a panic evasion and try your chances with the trees).

    like, come on, should the car crash on the sidewalk just because someone jaywalked to be in front of it? certainly not.

    One thing hours of watching Russian dash cams taught me is you see someone/something smaller than you jump in front of your car you PLOW THRU THAT FUCKER no matter what. Cars are made to take frontal crash, but the second you start avoiding it you end up hitting a tree sideways / flipping your car and/or on the opposite lane right in front of a lorry doing speed limit.

  23. Re:I remember this with M$ on Google Hit With Antitrust Lawsuit Over Default Search on Android Phones · · Score: 1

    I should be more precise. Its windows 8.1.
    There is NO manual way for me adding my custom (or any for that matter) app to the M$ list of "default programs". All I can do in
    Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
    is select some metro bullshit programs already on my computer. I cant even unselect IEs association with HTTP.

    Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations
    simply ignores whatever I do and keeps .txt as "not selected".
    For protocols on the bottom I have whole range of options, from 'Use IE" to "look for metro garbage app".

    Cherry on the top is inability to install ONLY update I am interested in - Browser Choice update. It crashes every single time.

    Microsoft was fined by EU, and their answer is to obscure whole thing even deeper and take away options for good. Its Metro apps or pound sand.
