At the point my solar panel is installed all the death is built in. At the point my coal plant explodes, all the death is built in (no more outgassing, health increases going forward in fact).

The problem with the death toll of nuclear is that it's deferred.... So no one can agree what the impact of Chernobyl is. For instance, the UN cites a report and claims 4000 dead post accident. The report itself says 9000. Greenpeace says 90,000. IF we grew nuclear to 2000 plants (and that's just to replace coal) the accident rate is going to go UP. More humans more human factors (greed, angry about stuff at home and makes a mistake) and more "acts of god"...

The other side of the coin is your either going to have to increase mining nuclear materials... OR your going to need to start a breeder reactor program up again (turn that "used" uranium back into fuel)...

and all that uranium, the stuff that's contaminated. It has to go somewhere, for a long time. A timescale that no one can comprehend. https://longnow.org/ideas/the-other-10000-year-project-long-... ....

billions of years for the fuel (uranium) 20k years to move the elephants foot out of chrernoble. No one knows what to do with the fuel melted into the ground at Fukushima. Were closer to the pyramids being built than we are to the impacts of these disasters being cleaned up... at that scale there is the potential for "More harm" to happen past the horizon of every nation on earth today (20k years is older than the oldest human construction, but not artifact).
This is the real answer.

Many of the problems in academia are due to publish or perish. Very many of them.
I made the reverse move a similar number of years ago.

* disliked 1Password monetization uplifts. They basically decided to move to rental not purchase.

* unquestionably smoother integration on chrome-osx in 1password. Bitwarden is fine but its clunky at times.

* I find bitwarden on Android pretty ok. It does kind of suck but TBH they all suck.

I pay bitwarden money. I just like them better than 1password, I wouldn't say there's a killer reason to stick either side. I do like that bitwarden will let me run my own head-end in a VPS, or at home, and not have to cloud things via them and I like their explicit "the outer security rounds count needs to increase" messages when I login to their accounts management interface.
How, exactly would the car be expected to know the speed limit? What if the expected value is wrong? What if the database of speed limits is unavailable? What happens when a speed limit for a road changes? What about new roads? What happens when the car leaves California?

What if California moves? (Earthquakes and Landslides are common there) How is the car supposed to cope with moving roads and landmarks?

Is there some provision for over-riding the speed limiter in the event of emergency?

What if Loran-C* is no longer available? Or GPS, or GLONASS. What if the Russians, Canadians, Nevadans or others Jam the signal?

This bill strikes me as about as useful as the time my home state of Indiana tried to legislate the value of Pi.[1]

Edit: *Yes, I know there are no longer any reliable long range ground-based navigation systems, which is a huge problem. While LORAN-C has been discontinued, it has never been properly replaced.

Edit2: What about private property? If a parking lot has a posted speed limit, how does that information get into the database? Should it get into the database?

There are far, far too many corner cases to seriously consider using a technical solution to what is obviously a social problem.

The title should probably be updated to accurately reflect that this is a proposal. The way it's phrased makes it sound like it's a bill that has already been passed.

There are bills like this that have absolutely 0 chance of ever passing that are proposed all the time. Clickbait at its finest.

The fact he couldn't even get a second senator to co-sponsor the bill tells you that it's DOA.

Even reading the signs is non-trivial, I drive several stretches of road where an access road runs parallel to a highway, and the 20mph lower speed limit signs for the access road are clearly visible from the highway and only slightly farther off the shoulder than the correct signs.
It's not about helping anyone decide anything. Or about news.

It's about fearmongering for ratings. And the MSM's biggest money-maker is not Maddow or Stewart, but one Donald J. Trump.
Speeding is one of the factors, but there are also other factors, bad drivers, roads conditions, alcohol/drugs, phones, sleep, car condition, eyesight, mood …
Seeing price comparisons like always make me feel like I'm living in a very different place. Here (in Canada), a base Camry currently starts at $36k (with the base hybrid starting at $38k) and a base Model 3 is $51k after the $5k federal tax credit.
> In reality, Amazon was giving the videos to the police without warrant and, I am assuming, without notifying you.

Is this actually true? My understanding was that Amazon was allowing law enforcement a simple form to ask the user of the Ring device if the police could access the videos, without a warrant.
Presumably they didn't have drills.
It's legal status is disputed. The "cost" of normalising things is higher than the british government can be bothered with. A notable "fuck you i'm independent" was Hutt Province in Australia. When "prince leonard" died, his kids settled the tax bills with the ATO and the whole game ended. Stamp collecting revenue and fake passports was the game. And tourism I guess. Sealand, less so. I do not live in a Neal Stephenson fantasyland, and I do not want my data vaulted in this location, thanks.

Contrast with the exclaves in the EU, which are well understood, and archaic. There's a border between Belgium and the Netherlands which shifts with the tides and they basically agree to share "ownership" of some island in the river.

("cost" because it would be sending royal marines in a rubber ducky with some C4, and blowing the sea-legs off sea-land so it goes back into the water)
Speculation: Researcher claims GPT-5 is in beta for a select few
If anything it's moral justification for not doing that. I was pointing out how I kill living things in order to remain alive, even though I think they are unique individual people and it's troubling and confusing to me (because in order to live, another thing has to die).
I'm surprised that insurance providers haven't jumped on this, with significant savings if you have one installed, with the assumption that handing over the data is voluntary (maybe if not, a retroactive fee).
My GPS thinks I'm on the wrong street every time I miss an exit or start navigating under an overpass. There's no way GPS does this reliably.
I doubt this law won’t have an exception for emergency response, but my point was that even people with the legal right to speed, solid need, and safety equipment usually don’t end up going that fast because it’s unsafe or impossible due to traffic. Every so often there’s someone racing down a desert highway but even then they aren't going to want to lose it on a curve.
I mostly have experience with C/C++ but have done some CL, and I agree with GP. Check out the debugging UX (not the performance :) of Visual Studio. More specifically, see how intuitive and discoverable it is for beginners.

For example, in CL debugging, how would I reliably set a breakpoint at some nested expression in a function body, run to it, and step through the code "expr-by-expr" while verifying a bunch of values in a watch window? In VS, it's one click to set breatpoint, one keypress or two clicks to run to it, one click to step to next line, and one double click and typing an expression to set up a watch that would show updated value of that expression every time execution pauses while taking care of scoping, etc.
It feels more to me like they're giving a month (and a bit?) free service in the form of a T-shirt. At this point, their 2023 raise was "only" about three months of gross revenue. Shipped, the tshirts are probably, eh, $13 USD?

I don't really have an opinion about whether this is an effective advertising spend or not. I hope they follow up. I don't need another free T-shirt but I'll probably wear it, I like the doggo.
Causation is not correlation. Prison in the US is pretty awful, so I wouldn't expect "harsh treatment" to be a reason that crime is low. Additionally, Japanese recidivism isn't particularly low (50%). Japan also has more programs to alleviate extreme poverty as well as an aging population. I would expect those have a stronger effect.
The original title was better:

> California could require car ‘governors’ that limit speeding to 10 mph over posted limits

I’m not sure why op changed it to the more ambiguous

> CA bill to require all new cars to prevent them from going over the speed limit

The latter title could imply the bill had already been passed, whereas the original title makes clear that this is simply introduced legislation which may or may not pass

Right, so the US now has some regulation to make sure people can see behind them. However, there seems to be basically no regulation to make sure they can see in front of the vehicle.
not unless they divulge material info I think, it is common for buy-side to talk to mgmt
The first thought that comes to my mind is binding your state's whole traffic grid to a single stupid point of failure. If bound by GPS + some database of speed limits, a single update to the speed limit database could cause traffic to grind to a halt. If bound by road signs with onboard AI, lots of false positive incidents can occur. Would be trivial to paper over road signs as a prank, for example, changing a speed limit sign from 65 to 15 and then slowing interstate traffic to a crawl.
Conventional wisdom is that a bill that has been passed is a law.
The question remains.

Handwaving about how flash is different than disks isn't an answer to how shrinkage is conveyed to the filesystem (and isn't a meaningful differentiator anyway, since common spinny-disks haven't been 1:1 mappings for well over 3 decades, themselves).
> transporting a passenger in a life or death emergency

For a medical emergency, you are better off calling 911. First responders such as EMTs, fire fighters have significant training as well as immediately life saving medications and equipment such as Narcan (to reverse opiate overdoses), Epinephrine (for anaphylactic shock - a life threatening allergic reaction), and defibrillators (for cardiac arrhythmias). Even police officers may have some of these things in their cars now (especially Narcan), and may be trained in such things as first aid and assisting with child birth.

In addition, the modern ambulance with paramedics provides much of the same life saving support that you would find in an ER. In addition, the ambulance will know which hospital in the area provides the type of care you need and they can call ahead to have things ready to go - for example, a patient having a stroke needs to go to a stroke center or a patient with a heart attack needs to go to a hospital than potentially has interventional cardiology on staff.
Occupancy firefighters and cops won't have the speed limiters.

Them’s fighting’ words
I conceptually agree with some of the grievances discussed here, but I also object to the framing.

It’s easy to point out 2x more college professors have been fired in recent years compared to the second red scare - but they neglect to point out that the number of college students has increased more than 7x since the McCarthy hearings. I couldn’t find exact numbers on professors for the same time period, but even if we assume class size per professor had doubled or tripled in that time, it more than explains the difference.

Similarly, social media is an incredible force for amplifying views, one that did not exist during the second red scare. It seems odd to index on that comparison when so much is different then vs now.

Your first sentence is describing the web based LLMs. There are others that operate against the project structure and has read all the files. But a lot of CRUDs also involve a much easier modular domain structure.

LLMs amplify you quite a bit in productivity if you're doing CRUD which is what most people are doing. You just clean up the code and clarify potential improvements.

It feels as if there's some kind of scale at which this ethical obligation evaporates, and it's likely at that same scale where automated 'ban' rules are implemented where only in exceptional circumstances does any appeal reach the notice of a human.

There's probably some crossover at which respecting the privacy of the customer goes from being a positive differentiator in maintaining customer relationships to being an inhibitor to an additional non-trivial revenue stream.
Yeah I’m with you. I will never buy an HP printer, over my dead body. That said, I did recently buy a Canon printer before I realized it’s literally an exact copy of an HP printer without the forced toner subscription model of HP. Maybe they’re making money that way, licensing printer deaigns to other brands. HP, the Luxottica of printers.
I guess I wrong, it wasn't even a semester, it was a month. He transferred TO ISU after attending his local college.

From Wikipedia:

Growing up in French Lick, Indiana, he was a local basketball star. Highly recruited, he initially signed to play college basketball for coach Bob Knight of the Indiana Hoosiers, but Bird dropped out after one month and returned to French Lick and attended a local college. The next year he attended Indiana State University, ultimately playing three years for the Sycamores.

Is this determined by GPS data? Will it continuously update speed restriction data by road? Does it undo the governor if you're outside the state?

This is just unfeasible. Especially for the 2027 model year.

I've joked before that states will one day install devices for "microfines" -- eg, going over the speed limit for short sustained period results in $5 fine.
It's just a matter of each person's taste. I also prefer it without the name (or any text really).

Took me a while too, I think GP and the text about the designer considering where the 'logo' is anchored in designing the, err, 'logo' are talking about the full name as shown at https://kagi.com/assets at the top. I don't know where else that's used though.

It's definitely confusing to call it a logo in talking about designing the logo (let's say icon) though.

Mind you before seeing that about the 'g' I thought the dog was their 'logo'. I'm surprised the designer didn't insist on some simplification, a stronger, single identity; not that I know anything about design or marketing.

A big difference though is that the Livewire lib is downloaded only once and includes Alpine for client side stuff.

How many situations are there where there’s a life and death situation hinging on you going 35mph in that 20mph zone, but not the 30mph this law would allow?

Now, do the reverse: getting hit at 35mph is far more likely to be fatal, and 99.9999% of the time the driver going it has no reason to do so better than “I like vroom vroom”. We have over 40k dead Americans annually and millions with serious injuries, and speeding is a factor in a large percentage of those.
That would be a better bill: insurance cannot consider incidents one isn't at fault for when determining a rate. Absolute scumbags.

I stood on the corner at a major intersection during evening commute time, and counted drivers who were obviously looking at cellphones while they were going through the busy intersection. It was half of them.

I'd start to address this with a two-pronged campaign:

1. Some kind of competent communications of how dangerous this is, and what the harm really means.

2. Technological measures like device behavior defaults for people who believe they're operating in good faith, to help them follow through in good faith, without being too onerous or authoritarian (nor pretext for more surveillance and control abused for other purposes).

After that's settled in, and we've hopefully broken the widespread default bad behavior, so that people still doing it generally will have knowingly opted-in to reckless, I'm open to introducing criminal penalties commensurate with harm caused.
I'll be looking forward to reading the post mortem. One of my big fears in moving stuff off the clouds is that it makes it easier to deal with ddos and other low hanging fruit attacks.

With clear conditions and no obstructions, yes, but my model Y frequently doesn't pick up the right speed limit, because: fog/rain/snow, glare, obstructed by another vehicle, defaced sign, no sign, non standard sign(eg variable speed limit sign in school zone).
> For a medical emergency, you are better off calling 911

Not always, no. Sometimes you would lose precious time by doing so. Sometimes they are 45 minutes away. Sometimes the city's resources are overwhelmed. Particularly in mass disasters.

In California, for example, what if you are in the path of a wildfire? Nobody is gonna save you before you burn up.

>Where do you get this? KC46 problem is not because it can’t refuel.

It has had constant problems with its digital camera system for the refueling boom, which effectively means the tanker can't refuel.

>Which promises? It’s supposed to be a missile truck,

The F-15EX was touted to carry 22 (or was it 21?) missiles. However, nearly half of that is dependent on pylons located on the conformal fuel tanks. Guess what happened? Boeing can't figure out how to install the conformal fuel tanks. Fuel tanks that the F-15E has been using for literally decades.

So? It's Boeing. It crashes. It's grounded. Entire flight crews have died, emphasis on plural.

Leftists are not liberal; the two are diametrically opposed to each other. (Right-wingers are similarly opposed to liberals, just in a different way.)

Liberalism favors democracy, rule of law, freedom of things like speech, free trade, free-market economics to various extents, etc. Leftists oppose much of this. If you want to see what leftists support, just read about the history of the Soviet Union. (And if you want to see what the right-wingers support, read about the history of Nazi Germany.)
