If I am sitting next to an inexperienced teen driver, I can tell them what to do, I am incredibly vigilant, and I will be able to talk to them about the entire context of what they have done. Importantly, I am there to train them, not just to ride along.

likewise that information is submitted to the neural net so that weights can be reapplied so the AI can adjust it’s decisions without programmer intervention as well.

The biggest difference there is that it is accepted and understood that a human driver who is learning will require significant vigilance from the licensed driver with them. That is why I would want someone hired and trained to monitor/take over instead of the beta test situation.

I think we should strongly consider “would immediately end a driving test” as a valid criteria to stop a public beta of any self-driving system. Until it can complete (and pass) a basic driving test, we should probably limit test vehicles to people hired and trained to properly monitor and control the vehicle.

The notations of which items would end a test immediately are helpful in reminding people that these are unacceptable problems on public roads. Even if you think he was too harsh on some things, it is hard to argue with that.

All these solutions that emulate the gas station, as if that is somehow ideal, rather than just what happens when you have to put a big tank of fuel somewhere.

Fairly common practice for many immigrants to give their children names reflecting both their home culture and Anglo-American culture. Also for immigrants to legally change their names in the same way. Good chance that is the reason for the name.

The game is explicitly anti-Nazi, and the Kickstarter version shipped with stickers to place on the cards for specific analogues in US politics (Trump for Hitler).

I go the opposite direction: Secret Hitler is an easier entry, since the policy deck makes it easier for a new player to lie and cast doubt. Avalon can be a rougher entry into social deduction, since there is no random element to hide behind. New players can sometimes get outed as minions (or Merlin) too quickly.

Avalon’s various roles help prevent that, and you may like Quest, which removes the voting phase but adds more abilities to compensate. Both allow a wider variety of strategies than Resistance. The expansions for Resistance also offer more variety, including versions of the Avalon roles in one of them.

Codenames is my easiest pitch for a larger group, usually. People are usually into it even if they don’t know the game. The downside is when you deal with couples or close friends on the same team, but it is usually easy enough to balance teams by splitting up couples or distributing them.

The thing Secret Hitler does that gives it the nod for newer players is introduce the random element. A fascist can claim they had no liberal policy to choose, so it is a little easier to lie.

Waiting for the nearly inevitable drama when a person (maybe a dealership) who finds VINs of vehicles they do not own and starts registering them with these cryptobros to sell NFTs.

The Ural is tempting. Seems a little strange to have so few miles in such a nice climate, though.

It looks the same as my 2008 Focus, but with a couple screens added and worse seats.

If it makes you feel any better, some of that terminology isn’t even consistent here. I grew up with cars, pickups, and trucks. Trucks are semis or log trucks (lorries). None of the truck drivers I grew up around call them tractor trailers unless maybe trying to explain that they are not talking about a pickup. Rig…

Oh, wow. I had not clicked through. That interior is moderately nice for a mid to late 90s budget vehicle.

The restrictions on lease buyouts are so frustrating. If I write the check or a dealership does, the end result is the same: they get their money. This one seems especially frustrating, as it is a change in policies mid-contract.

I’ve been sort of kicking myself about not ordering the Ford Maverick hybrid, but I could not drive the hybrid to be sure I wanted it. But at least I’m not the guy who realized I hated my car on the drive back from the dealer, so I think I made the right call.

I am at work, so I am not going to make the “Road is Road” Incredibles meme, but I do think that it would best represent your insurance company.
