No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes. Several mines in Australia have them.

Fun fact. When they were trialing the systems the tires on the automated trucks were wearing down faster and deeper ruts were appearing on the roads.
Turns out they didn't have any deviation logic so the trucks were following the same path as the GPS track instead of offsetting the driving like a human would do.

This is interesting, can you expand on that?

I think they're saying the trucks drove the same path over and over again perfectly, fucking with the road and tires.

Effectively yes.

Hambourg harbor has a fully automated area where autonomous trucks/ platforms carry ship containers. Huge vessels and full electric.

There are fully automated cargo drones on private property.

I’m not aware of any operating full size trucks on public roads.

Can you be more precise about what level of automation these trucks should have? Other forms of transport like trains and aircraft have automation, but it's not full automation and they accept that limitation as the technology develops.

SAE has a classification system for automation of the driving task, but this wouldn't necessarily include the task of loading and unloading cargo, nor the paperwork management for consignments, all of which are part of the commercial truck driving job.

Haul trucks in mines.

Texas has a pilot going through some major interstate hubs

Only in extremely controlled areas like ports or mines are there no humans. Farm tractors are close when in the field.
