  • I haven’t seen anything yet. At work, the ones that praise AI the loudest are exceptionally highly correlated with the people who lack a good understanding of the core concepts. The ones that just float around cargo culting and looking busy by making noise.

    That said, LLMs are still useful tools, that are highly misused. What they’re useful for, is a lot less than most think. The user needs to be the expert. If they’re not, they’d be better off reading a book on the matter (and how things are looking, it might have to be one written before LLMs came out).






  • Michigan Left intersection

    At first I thought it was a joke. But sure enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_left

    So many questions. Is there ever a traffic setting where this can be considered good? I know roundabouts in the US are considered socialist (or some other comparable reasoning), but this seems ridiculous.

    A Michigan left generally allows through traffic on the minor crossroads to proceed straight across the major road or highway, especially on the more heavily traveled minor roads.

    That sure makes it sound like a situation for an over/underpass with simple ramps for the major road / highway.
