Lots of European countries have an extra yellow phase after red, before green, to let people get ready. It's incredibly stupid. America does traffic lights the right way.

You live in the Scandanavia, right?

In Iceland buses get to go about 5 seconds before other traffic- they have their own light and everything. Do you have anything like that in your corner of the world?

This is wrong. Where i live it goes yellow before it goes red to warn you its about to turn red, so you can either speed up a bit to not have to suddenly break or to know its time to slow down.

yes, here too. yellow means slow down & prepare for the change which can be green or red. 1232123212321 get it?

it alternates between runs of

my favorite part is when it repeated source words at the end

like i sorta get translating a word but getting confused and thinking it translates into a bunch of words, but how the heck did it not translate a word into a bunch of words :psyduck:

yea i love that part

btw, source text has linefeeds midsentence (for lining up with the handwritten lines) which ive noticed also fucks up googles translation. not that it makes a huge difference when the spelling and grammar is super archaic

also source text is same as in this post:

also I kind of wonder if maybe google had a realization of how unlikely it is that Lidar-based fully autonomous car tech would see mass market adoption and decided getting $250M and letting another company continue to burn money on it was win-win.

probably the smarter play tbh

yeah, that whole post was kind of dumb and exaggerated. i guess I’ll just say this, and hopefully end this lovely derail: in school i was always able to find what i needed without soliciting the help of a librarian. for hard-to-find stuff, I’m sure they can be helpful.

wait is there a librarian that will read hundreds of journal articles, critically analyze them to only give me the most relevant ~50 or so and then add them to a reference manager for me? cause if so then gently caress yeah I'll give up a tech-based approach to lit review

crabrock posted:

my point was that using something like google scholar to find shitloads of papers isn't what you'd use a librarian for, so equating the two is loving dumb. The critically analyze part was that you have to read a bunch of papers to know what the relevent ones are. I can't just go to a librarian and say "give me everything on forebrain ischemia" because that'd be literally thousands of articles, not that I think google does that for me.

you can totally go ask for ischemia articles or books, and you can totally search for same

if you just write ischemia into goog youll probably get "literally thousands" of articles. the librarian found thousands as well but filtered them into research/idiocy/etc and gave what you wanted

no diff except you get to not speak to a person which is a huge plus imo

my personal most-san-francisco thing i've seen was while i was waiting outside a parking garage. a guy in a $100k tesla pulled in, parked in the non-ev space beside a $20k nissan leaf that was using the EV charger, hopped out, looked around for a second, then unplugged the leaf and stuck the cord in his own car and walked away. superficial eco-conscious liberalism while actively loving over anyone less well-off than yourself
