  • California Wants to Put License Plates on E-Bikes and Slow Them Down. Cyclists Are Not Happy About It

  • You don't live in the mountains, I presume?

    The ebike benefit isn't for going faster. It's great for helping to climb mountains. 15.5 mph is FANTASTIC compared to walking up and pushing a bike

  • I've clocked 40 mph coming down a mountain with just gravity and my leg power.

    But that's why bike lanes don't make sense. We need space for passing.

  • Bicycles without motors aren't allowed on sidewalks already. No new laws are needed.

    We just need police to say "get in the road!"

  • Is it really so hard to make a chip that cuts the motor off at a certain speed?

    If such a law did pass, they would become so mass produced that they would only cost a few pennies to add.

  • Supreme Court restores access to abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth, mail and pharmacies

  • That's a crime.

    Meanwhile the person in need can just walk to the clinic and pick it up in-person. It was never banned for in person pickup.

  • We don't need a new course for this. It just needs to be appended to existing information literacy courses

  • I mean, it could be like information literacy

    The course would be sure to tell all kids that AI is not intelligent, should never be trusted, and teach kids how to fact check everything that it says.

    The end result should be that kids learn that it takes more work to get facts when using AI.

  • I'm usually opposed to teaching abstinence, but I'd much rather teach abstinence to gun use than teach kids how to load and store a firearm safely.

  • Is that stat just English literacy?

    If someone can read Spanish but not English, are they deemed illiterate?

  • You mean not using AI for fact checking?!?

    Like, teaching them how to fact check everything AI says, because it's rubbish?

  • For me its the blobs. We can't trust anything they do so long as the code they ship isn't 100% open source

  • They ship their app with blobs, so we cannot verify what their app is doing.
