IMO if we are going to classify SUVs and pick-ups as being trucks (and thus hold them to lower safety and emissions standards), we should require people to have a special license to drive them, with heightened safety training.

can we also talked about turn signal lights? no , im not talking about red turn signals. im talking about yellow/amber lights that arent yellow/amber enough or arent big enough, or theyre next to white lights that are brighter than them or has some yellow itself. at night the low setting seems brighter, and even daytime driving lights can be brighter.

From my perspective, it summarized the most salient pieces from the relevant Wikipedia article, and satisfied my curiosity despite being vague. As I'm watching this rollout, that's one of the things I'm trying to uncover - like at scale how well is this actually suiting people's needs, and what do we need to do to make it better?

Just eliminate the 'light truck' rule and apply the same standards across the board for passenger vehicles and a lot of that size inflation would evaporate on the spot.

Apply minimum visibility requirements for vehicles driveable on a standard license - if a 170cm driver can't see obstacles of height X at distance Y then the vehicle requires a commercial license.

Absolutly none of the "easy to work on and last" precludes engine bay electronics or better pollution controls or safer in a crash. Simple.... yeah I'll give you that one abeit some 30+ year old cars are truly hosed in the head to work on in ways some modern stuff cant achieve and TBH some modern cars diag abilities make them way easier to work on esp when they work with cheap scanners. The ones that need special equipment to diag can gently caress the hell off.

The thing with LLMs in search is that I know search results are full of garbage LLM SEO bullshit so I’m instantly wary of any “summary” style panel on the result page because it’s probably grabbed a snippet from one of those that did the SEO ritual correctly, and some automatic process has seen that and presented it to me. Automatic summarisation also has the risk of inventing completely false information (even if it’s summarising a 100% correct source) and presenting it to me very convincingly. If I’m typing a query into a search engine I am looking for a list of websites with content that might answer that question or content related to that query, not for some magic error prone algorithm to try to second-guess my actual question and provide an answer it “thinks” I want. Honestly I hardly ever actually type a question “how are fursuits made?” vs like “making fursuit” or “fursuit materials” or something, which makes the LLM natural language thing even less applicable. Having a human-curated site quality ranking system in a search engine would be a thousand times more useful to me than Clippy 2.0: Making poo poo Up Edition, but obviously that has the problems of being both insanely expensive and basically unmanageable, plus not being able to connect your company cash flow to the infinite AI money firehose, so rip.

It's not exactly a search engine, but it's human curated and sure loves to show up in my search results and oh boy it's all poo poo. I have an extension just to block any and all search results related to quora because this is one of the shittiest things to exist. That and all the Pinterest results. Human curation was a mistake.

Weird thing is, I've been asking search engines natural language questions for 20+ years and it's worked fine, you just need to use the keywords. My theory is, that even with a dumb search engine, if it's indexed someone asking your question, it has a result for you, and if not it'll use keywords. PS. On Google you can turn the AI summaries off.
