eXtract, Verbose, gZip, File.

Not sure why it doesn’t need the dash though.

It could be Morse code?

Perhaps. They’re two sides of the same coin— awareness protects from unpredictability, and predictability protects from lack of awareness.

To an extent I agree but … there’s a difference between “braking unexpectedly” and “full-service emergency brake application”. People extremely rarely do the latter, and when they do the reason is typically obvious.

I’d say some fault lies with the motorcyclist but… the bots should not be slamming on the brakes at random.

I think the distinction is what a human sees as “something unexpected happened” vs something that the bot sees… is the bot seeing something that isn’t there, or is the human missing something that the bot noticed?

Or did they both notice something and the bot handled it in an unexpected way?

Number one rule of safe driving is to be predictable…

Glad to do it, sad that I have to with a formerly reputable news source like CNN.

I hate these clickbait headlines.

Saving you a click: because pandemic aid funding is ending, and enrollment is lower in some places.

Ugh. The text layout on that van too.

Are all those Germans really different enough to count separately?

Like, I wouldn’t know how to distinguish my fluency in American English from British English. And that’s not even getting to Canadian, Australian, Irish… the differences are far more cultural than linguistic.
