I think in this case it's more likely that the US government wanted to have light trucks be fairly accessible to individuals that needed them, and somehow it became a cultural icon to have a pick-up truck that doesn't ever pick anything up. Now we're here and it's a hot-button cultural issue proxied as "the left is trying to change my lifestyle, not over my dead body."

I don't blame the government for not seeing a need to regulate this decades ago. Really, who in their right mind would want such a difficult to park, more expensive, less economic vehicle if they didn't need it, right?
Seems interesting, all the best ai chat interfaces do well in selling themselves by offering strong citations - I like how you.com for example points to relevant SO posts when it presents code snippets.

It's spelled correctly in the article. Did you even read it?
No, you just don't understand, we need more legislation. We'll get it right eventually, I'm sure of it.

On a more serious note, I wonder how much of this is related to regulatory capture in the automotive industry. I could be wrong but I would think the profit margin on something like a Land Cruiser is quite a bit more than something like a Corolla. There are a lot of sunk costs in just getting any one vehicle of any size to the sales lot, so is there an incentive to be able to make bigger cars and therefore a larger profit (either percentage or absolute) per vehicle?
Kia's coming in fast and is what we went with. Everyone's promising hybrid and EV but that doesn't help when the baby arrives sooner than the vehicle can ship.

Honda's really dated now and needs a strong refresh. Toyota's king of the market and it shows they know, I wish someone would light a fire under them a bit.
Isn't the lack of recent precedent because most industries already have existing regulators? A new industry coming into existence isn't that common, and when it does happen, I don't think this is actually unprecedented. AT&T was one of the big proponents of new regulation back when telephone companies were a recent development.

> that would simultaneously be less-burdensome than the status quo yet also cement incumbents' advantages

But that's classic regulatory capture. The industry gets the government to impose regulations that are wasteful and bureaucratic but can be navigated by a large organization with economies of scale, which allows regulators to appear as if they're doing something, but the rules don't prevent the incumbents from making a mint by consolidating the industry and charging monopoly rents or avoiding taxes paid by the middle class and smaller competitors etc.

These cars are more likely to kill your children by running over them as they cross the street. You are more likely to kill your neighbor's kids by running over them because you don't have visibility 6+ feet in front of you. This isn't some sort of wish-washy definition. These are hard to swallow facts.

I'm from Spain and during the last couple of decades cities have experimented a lot with urban planning, including turning streets into one way with broader sidewalks, or turning them pedestrian only.

Anecdotally I can say that every street turned pedestrian has been wildly popular, massively revitalizing the area.

I recently added a new Sonos Beam to my TV and used Sonos One speakers from 2017 to serve as my rears. While Sonos has done some weird stuff with old product retirement in the past, being able to pair 6 year old speakers with current hardware was delightful and restored my faith in Sonos product longevity.

I have had hondas, toyotas, BMWs and I have to say in my opinion, american full-size trucks are the greatest cars on the road today in terms of trading-off size, efficiency, reliability, range, price (maybe not now) etc. I never thought of myself as a "truck guy" until I got one. Its a hard pill for many to swallow.
Pricing in externalities I think and as others here have said. Make it reflect the true cost to drive a gigantic truck.

Did the rush come before or after the huge (I imagine millions per year for a team of Apple devs working on what was to become a core technology pillar) infusion of cash and warm bodies? It was a fairly quiet and incremental research project and then Apple zoomed it to the stars (and Clang wasn't always even guaranteed to be open sourced: that came later, two years after the Clang project started in 2005).

Of course, this is actually one of the more unique cases, because it was both well-funded and open-sourced in the end, and, though developed rapidly, is actually a decent project, technically. As opposed to the kind of behind-closed-door too-embarrassed-to-publish shitware that's probably powering things like Hives.
It does work like that in some states. New York state registration fees range from $26 per 2yr to $140 per 2yr depending on weight: https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/registration-fees-use-taxes-...

Despite being a pretty big difference percentage-wise (the heaviest vehicles pay more than 5x the lightest vehicles!), not sure it’s enough of a difference in absolute dollars to really influence purchasing decisions though.
The panels with quantum dots can theoretically reach an about 97% coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space, which should be enough for most purposes.

There are many commercial models which exceed a 90% coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space. However they are expensive, so they are used mostly in high-end TV-sets and only seldom in expensive computer monitors.
Cars are bigger now because emissions rules are stricter for sedans and other reasonably sized vehicles, it's a yet another cautionary tale about the unintended consequences of government regulations.
You have a moral obligation to your own family though. I think that is the point that OP is making.
I think the optics are bad but the logic is sound. EVs don’t pay gas tax like ICE vehicles do, so it should even out in the end.
Passenger vehicles, no matter how large and numerous, are a tiny part of road wear compared to heavy trucks. If you want to price road use by what it costs to maintain them, tax the heavy trucks.

If you want to disincentivize SUV bloat, make narrower Lanes and more traffic calming features.
It's hard to load the kids into a render :D

Once it's available, that might be very nice.

I was supremely disappointed that the Transit full-size van is NOT available in passenger in the EV version. Might have almost stretched the budget for that.
> I like the idea of a privacy preserving UBI

This is valid. But even if we reduce scope to a privacy-preserving UBI, nothing Worldcoin solves the core hurdles thereto. It's solving a side problem tangentially related to those involved with a privacy-preserving UBI, but entirely germane to an a16z-style crypto pump-and-dump.

Adjunct: how is Worldcoin privacy preserving? At least with Bitcoin you can plausibly deny ownership of a wallet. In a world on Worldcoin, every traffic stop lets the cops inspect your bank account.
Lowe’s and Home Depot also offer this. It’s good enough and the reason I’m not going to buy another truck after my 2005 Ranger finally blows up.
A meta point, but kguttag clearly really knows their stuff, but I feel like every article is like: "Gotcha! Actually because of this technical detail this product and therefore the entire industry is doomed to fail".

The technical details seem correct to me, but even as a layperson I can tell that the author is missing the bigger picture. For example in this case, to replace monitors these headsets don't need to have as good resolution if they win on the overall tradeoffs.

It's a shame because it's otherwise good commentary, it just feels like I have to filter everything from this site through a lens of knowing the author will have a mostly unjustified negative take.
Many people are still buying 1080p monitors because they don’t actually care about clarity that much. It’s hard to factor in VR because you need to make many assumptions around viewing angles and whatnot.

Ergonomically, I think they easily beat tablets or laptops when chilling on a couch which more than offsets minor resolution issues. Not that long ago I remember upgrading to 640x480 monitors and they were better than 320x200 but not by nearly as much as you might think. Downgrading in DPI while upgrading in utility is probably well worth it.

>Car registration shouldn't be based on the value of the car, it should be based on how heavy the car is. Because heavier cars cause more wear on the road, they should pay more for road repair.

This came up in another thread and while it's sort-of true, it's not really. Passenger vehicles of ANY size do almost no damage to a road in comparison to semi-trucks and delivery trucks. A 3/4-ton pickup vs your toyota camry is MAYBE a 2x increase in damage to the road. The average semi vs. that same 3/4-ton pickup is a 2500x increase in damage to the road on the low end (some studies claim as high as 10,000x).

Unless you're planning on eliminating the trucking industry, shrinking cars isn't reducing the wear on our roads in any meaningful way.

This seems to just support my criticism, though? Even without the drivers, it is still a big number, but is literally less than half the lines of code shown before? Why inflate what you show just to get an absurd comparison?

I think many are misunderstanding my criticism here. I offer it more as a way to strengthen the message than I do to question it entirely.

To that end, the only "goal post shift" I would add is to ask how many of the 17 million lines of driver code have to be done for Hurd to support hardware that would make it more relevant for a ton of users?
On one hand, the local governments are deciding to not enforce road laws, so I don't blame normal folks deciding to get larger cars to feel safer.

> On a trivial level this is correct as words mean what we collectively decide they mean.

Correct, and collectively we decided that reselling digital work without permission is indeed theft, just as we rightfully decided that digital goods for the most part are like physical goods.

> a) the meaning has been changed

It hasn't really, digital theft still has the same meaning as any form of theft. Some did try to change the meaning and non trivialise the act based on the fact that digital goods are not like phyisical goods. But that's a techincallity based on the nature of digital goods.

Similarly, AI folks wish to change the meaning of theft based on the false assumption that an AI system "learns just like a human". But that's a false assumption. The software does mimic human behaviour, but we all know that it is neither human nor intelligent (if it were intelligent you'd show it a set of multiplications, and from that point onwards it would figure it out on its own. same with writing stories). Yet some are trying to change the meaning of words to accommodate their view of the world in which software that can ingest people's IP at massive scale, mix it in, and output something that looks novel is somehow similar to human learning.

Therefore the matter is trivial. Software ingestsing digital content without permission, and outputting content made of even tiny bits of the original, is theft. Simple as that. However, that does not mean that AI should be banned. It's how the AI software is fed its data that must be brought in line.
It's gotten to the point where I feel like I'm being greedy driving my little '09 eco hatchback instead of my motorcycle and how much weight a subsequent fuel is being carried around and burnt to move me through the town on my way to work. 2800lbs vs 366lbs
You said 'by a different etymology'. It's not a different etymology if they knew and were referring to the other meaning.
I have to agree with OP, taxes should be based on weight. If you EV causes 10x the wear that a ICE car then you pay 10x the taxes. If the goal is fossil fuel usage, we cannot ignore the fact that pouring tar and repairing roads is not horrible as well.

If the goal is to encourage usage, then just subsidize it, but eventually it all comes down to wear and taxes, you cannot ignore a car that weights 10x as much as a normal car.

There are ways to make the road stronger if the government really cares about such things. But they don't it ends up being yearly cost = total upfront cost / average life span which in there mind is cheaper than a bigger upfront cost that lasts longer.

Driving a car makes you more likely to kill or injure somebody than walking or staying home. Is it immoral for anybody to drive a car at all?

We all take on culpability for certain harms to others. It’s just a question of what as a society we are willing to accept.

I don’t think this is an issue of society “overlooking” the morality of this specifically. It’s just that people have a lot of problems to worry about, and the crash safety of large vehicles isn’t high on the list.
Due to two things:

1. I'm a bit of a klutz

2. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist-closeted-as-a-realist-for-money kind of person, so physical things that I make/do never scratch that "must be perfect" itch.

...I almost never make anything physical (other than food? Is that cheating?). However!

First tiny backstory: Around 5 years ago I had a Clevo shitbox laptop for gaming (all I could afford then). It was loud and overheated (obviously). It was back in the "desktop replacement" days when there was a weird trend craze of putting desktop GPUs and CPUs into huge laptops, at the peril of...everyone?

So after a few months of having it, I decided to integrate an AIO water cooler "onto" (into?) it.

From a Youtube videos I learned the ins-and-outs of molex, lapping copper (how to not breath in ultra toxic metal dust was a welcome bonus), 12V and 24V switching power supplies, soldering, wire stripping, etc., then I just stuck the AIO cooler on with thermal adhesive, hooked it all up with a nice rocker switch and electric wizbangs, and I had a cute little switchable AIO cooler for my gaming laptop.

It looked gross, but actually resulted in a ~10% gaming perf boost and made it a lot more quiet (the AIO was taking a tonne of heat from the CPU where most of the heat and gaming bottlenecks came from.

It really did look hilarious. It was a fun story when guests came round for food/drinks/whatever; I would often get asked about what the heck it even is, as it just looked like some kid hot-glue-gunned a bunch of random wires, fans, and boxes to the back and under-side of a laptop.
The truck market in the USA is pretty darn competitive, and people don't buy them because of "penis issues" as many seem to think. If they sold the six door version, I might go with one, but you can't load tiny kids in the front bench. https://www.kingseriespickup.com is a bit beyond me :D

They're damn usable vehicles, especially if you consider the entire market from the Maverick up to the super-duty.

Someone should do the math on the environmental aspects of one largish vehicle for a family vs a largish + smaller (e.g, when does the fuel savings of the smaller finally out run the cost of acquiring said smaller).
Poor logic. Why should that matter? The initial argument was that no one should need that much money.

The sporting events can't take place soley due to the star. Do you think the star built the stadium or did all the background work for a movie? By this logic, movies with novice actors should always do bad.

> AT&T was one of the big proponents of new regulation back when telephone companies were a recent development

AT&T wanted a regulator so it could scale like the railroads. The regulator wasn't to regulate AT&T, if I remember correctly, it was to regulate the states. (It backfired in the long run.)

Broadly speaking, if you’re weak enough to need a regulator to guard your moat, you’re weak enough to be overpowered by the regulator. Regulatory capture, successful examples, at least, begin from a position of strength. Altman pitched doom and gloom and then, when the EU began reacting, seemed surprised that they weren’t permissive.
A similar argument can be made about gun ownership: in an armed society, is it rational not to own a firearm?
You know, that's interesting. I tend to avoid Tailwind discussion because I feel like I don't see enough opinions from people working full time on huge projects using it. Most of the time, it seems like the strongest opinions in favor come from folks who have only used it in toy apps, side projects, or completely greenfield small-to-medium applications.

There's nothing wrong with using it in that way, of course, or of thinking it's the best tool for the job in those scenarios. But for some reason I rarely see that caveat mentioned, and the idea of refactoring a legacy application to use it makes me queasy haha.

I completely disagree. Your moral obligation to your own family trumps that of your obligation to society at large. Even if you could argue that it should not be so, it is in practice.

The harm/benefit to society would have to be much larger for even the most altruistic people to give it more weight than the harm/benefit to their own family.

That’s not the case here.
