Some cars have a favourite button to disable the more annoying features like driver monitoring and lane assist with one button press once its set up in the menu.
The features are required to be installed by law.
Maybe don’t demand a 1,000 word essay for a kitchenhand.
Just a thought.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the biggest misconception you think many people have?
0·11 days agoPure maths that was taught over 5 years in the 18th century in university is now taught in 3 years in high school with several other subjects.

4·12 days agoLLMs are a conversation model, they were only intended to be an interface between people and an expert system, not a magic answers machine.
LLMs are fairly useless, but the algorithms they use like weighting can be used for things like pattern matching, which can be used to replace the armies of office workers in internal control systems.
Thats not the same as the LLM industry, which is just a scam pure and simple. They need to keep accessing finance just to keep the money flowing, there is no end use for these massive data centres.
