Chandelier falls -> old man moves to dodge it-> ladder falls (cause the 4th leg is not really supporting it) -> 2nd guy falls off ladder -> ladder crushes/pinches old man.

There is literally 1 second of "post-fall" footage, so making the judgement of "Old man didn't go to help, what a douche." is not really fair. It would probably take him at least 5-10 seconds to figure out what the gently caress just happened.

It takes the brain time to process un-expected poo poo.

Here's a copy with 10 seconds of "post-fall" footage and sound!

I'm pretty sure you can hear him ask "Hey Ben you alright?" or something like that pretty quickly. Also the cameraman laughing his rear end off. :v:

Til that my parents neighbor is the guy Takata put in charge of running the multi million car airbag recall and he's REAL WEIRD about this stuff. Can't figure out if it rules or if I should be careful around him, leaning towards the former but I haven't hung out with him enough.

Edit: Obviously EMR should disable native autocorrect, but I'm not sure that always happens. I've used macbooks (with protective casings) in disaster areas. After Hurricane Sandy, we literally took case notes, including medication notes, in a text editor, and then uploaded it to an EMR at the end of the shift. I'm not sure if we had autocorrect disabled or not. Everything was flooded so we were scrambling.

I'd be very surprised if other things with autocorrect didn't have similar problems. The way autocorrect works and the way medicine naming works are inevitably going to gently caress things up.

Wellllllllll, one's an SNRI and one's an SSRI, and the dosages are like 3:1. So it's not great. But it's true that at least it's not fentanyl for fluoxetine.

I'm not sure what the default Android keyboard does, but I use Swype on my phone and it offers potential corrections but doesn't change anything without my asking it to. Which is how an input system should behave. I can't remember if that's default behaviour or if I had to change it, though.

That's default behaviour. I've never had an iDevice and I'm pretty shocked to find out that's how they work, that's incredibly stupid

It also makes a bunch of those "I changed X to Y in my mom's phone" pranks suddenly make way more sense in retrospect

I’ve been using an iPhone for years and I still get tripped up sometimes when it automatically accepts a correction.

I use Swype and I'm pretty sure it auto-corrects by default. But it's a simple toggle in the settings, and if you give it your email address, your custom dictionary persists across devices.

A better autocorrect dictionary cannot fix the problem. Even if it contained the name of every registered drug, the potential for harmful substitutions still exists.

The solution is to disable autocorrect.

A better autocorrect dictionary lacking any drug names would work though.

An autocorrect than required user input to make the changes would be better yet. I still get tripped up by the last word in a text being changed when I hit send.

Autocorrect should never be enabled on a device with an actual keyboard. Ever. It's maybe a necessary evil on mobile phones because they have absolute poo poo input devices, but with an actual keyboard red squigglies are the way to go.

But think about the seemless user experience. Two separate devices shouldn't act differently!

It's not necessary on any device. By all means offer candidates for correction but don't change text the user has input unless the user has told you to.

Osx autocorrect is aggressive and lovely. Unless everything you do involves only simple English with no jargon, it will constantly gently caress with you. I've grown accustomed to decoding emails from people who leave it enabled.

Worse, it does dumb multi-word substitutions, even when you've manually corrected one of the previous words already, which leads to it making corrections you don't notice because they occur after you've typed a common word.

I overrode the usual duck:gently caress auto correct on my phone, and the ONE time I had the need to send a txt referencing a duck - the phone changed it to gently caress. "Hey grandma, where did you want me to buy that gently caress from?"
