That's just the base cost of a human being using the absolute ragged edge of what remains of our "safety net", primarily ambulance calls and unpayable hospital bills for very basic and unnecessary things. The homeless people in my small (60k people) city have an ambulance called about once per day because they get heat stroke, because if they try to stand somewhere they wont get heat stroke, they will be arrested.

Those wasteful usages of our absurdly BS priced medical system balloons how much a "homeless" person "costs". It doesn't matter that the only actual resources used where a hospital bed and some OTC medication, the hospital will claim that expense as 10k and bitch and moan that they can't afford it.

Then you have the secondary effect that a 100 bed shelter in California will be absurdly expensive to operate simply due to rent, like disproportionately so.

This is the fallacy of the slippery slope. The regulation is not necessarily a first step. It can and might very well stop at the driver alert stage. To become an automatic speed limiter would be a new set of regulations, with a new debate and regulatory process behind it.
I believe in "Pay your dues". Firmly. In an interview, you shouldn't argue on JSDocs vs Typescript. Your job is to determine if this is a good team/company for you to work with and you are getting the money/benefits that you are ok with. That's it.

Get the job first if the basics check out. Then "pay your dues". Show that you are a good team member who is not just complaining but actually getting things done with the resources given. You may be right in your argument but make that point once you have the trust of the team. Not before that.

Also, there is a reason why things are done in a certain way at a certain company/team. It may not be perfect or ideal but you need to first understand the background/why. Then if you feel that you have a case to make, make it.

But first, Pay your dues.
Doesn't the autobahn have unrestricted sections with no speed limit?
I wish the places I worked made such principled decisions.

Some places did, but not most. In my 2 decades of contracting I have seen plenty of shops with a real fear of upgrading and no plan for modernizing. They are trapped in decades old tech and prefer it that way for no discernible reason. Worse, they often have no recovery plan if there is a problem. There is a huge amount of maintaining the status quo and trying not to make waves.

For some of these projects a team of like dozen devs could recreate the core product in some new tech in less than a year with the right institutional knowledge. But they don't for a myriad of excuses and reasons.

Yeah, this. Geofencing countries would work for highway speeds (except for Germany, but that's their problem to fix).

But it won't do much to reduce pedestrian fatalities, unless you allow cities to (roughly) geofence lower limits.
Sadly, there is no such thing as a free launch
>There will be four ways in which ISA systems will work to slow the vehicle down, and it will be up to the manufacturers to pick which one they want to use. The EU regulations permit a system that can use a cascaded acoustic warning, a cascaded vibrating warning, an accelerator pedal with haptic feedback, or a speed control function in which the speed of the vehicle will be gradually reduced.

Haptic feedback isn't gonna kill anyone anytime soon.
No, OTHER people, not the driver. He's saying OTHER PEOPLE drive over the limit, and OTHER PEOPLE are NOT in your control, so "haveing no sympathy" is irrelevant here. You have no sympathy for me when i find myself driving amongst others who drive above the limit? Their speeds are not in my control. Only mine is. And if the limiter prevents me from going the same speeds as everyone around me, I will be constantly passed and in greater danger of wrecking.

Do you even have a drivers' license? You evince very little familiarity with practical every day driving. If you are a driver, how many years experience in which countries? It would help us gauge the relevance of your comments -- different countries have different driving cultures.

Artificial colors are known carcinogenic (lake 6, 40, etc) and absolutely unnecessary. Why don’t we start there. I recently stopped eating them and had to cut out a huge portion of convenience foods and candies simply because they are loaded with known-carcinogenic artificial coloring. It’s sad that children are the ones most targeted and most parents don’t seem to care.
I wonder how long we can ignore the natural human tendancy to need blame / attribution.

The way I think about it is: If, in the limiting case, we replace all driver mistakes with software mistakes, and there's 1/2 as many deaths from these mistakes, but they are uniformly distributed, I am honestly not sure how acceptable this would be to the public. It's like sacrificing people randomly to disallow dangerous drivers from causing accidents, even when those accidents would probably have disproportionately affected those very same dangerous drivers (and anyone nearby).

Ah, I think I'm starting to see where you're coming from. I'm using "reality" in the pretty narrow sense of the physical universe (Popper's world 1?), which I guess is actually quite hypocritical given that I'm also attacking the common (semi-religious) belief that everything can be reduced scientifically to fundamental physical interactions.

Ideas seem to have a dynamics of their own, and I'm pretty open-minded to the possibility that things which exist in the collective human mental substrate (world 2?) can exert causal influence of their own, in a certain sense, on world 1. In a way that maybe can't be reduced to physical interaction in any kind of useful predictive fashion?

I don't have the language to think about those concepts clearly right now!

You've left me with lots to ponder, thanks =) it's actually very cool to see Popper himself talking about the metaphysics of this stuff. Some of my physics friends would probably be a bit shocked by that...
Agreed, most studios would want to see maturity of the API, and that initial issues are ironed out.

As a result of a flaw in the protocol itself or in its implementation?
The limit in Germany is 25kmh, which translates to around 15.5 mph. And yet we have quite some unlimited Autobahns.
The 10% fastest cars on the Autobahn section near my home go 200kmh/125mph on average. You can guess what the top 5% or 1% drive.

That's the contrast we live with.
Fast lane probably meant left/passing lane, not unrestricted roads. That you're not supposed to stay in them long is part of why people speed up to pass, otherwise it takes a minute seconds to gain 60 feet on that semi going just under.

Speaking to the US as a whole on traffic law is hard to do. E.g. in Washington it is absolutely legal to exceed the speed limit to pass someone on the highway, in California it isn't. In California it's illegal to sit in the fast lane, in Minnesota it's not. In Minnesota you can turn right on certain reds, in DC you can't.
I used the ACC with automatic speed recognition for about two months but it did too many stupid brakings. I think using GPS to limit to the highest possible speed for highway/roads/city would be fine. But as long as the car can decide that on this highway it really thinks the 40 sign is for the main lane and not the off ramp, I would rather not have it
Seems like a net positive change to me, assuming the tech doesn't succumb to some of the FUD takes here (and/or can be improved over time...).

I've had family killed by speeders. I've had friends and family permanently maimed and disabled by speeders. For people who think speed limits are just a suggestion or don't always apply, I can see how this would be "annoying". But the point of speed limits are for driving safety -- something humans are notably absolutely terrible at as a species. Anything that enforces them a bit better than the limited (and tbh flawed) resource of just traffic stops is an improvement in my book.
The data breach did not cause the collapse of Synapse. Synapse has been a slow rolling collapse for the past 2ish years due to horrible management. Ultimately Synapse imploded when Mercury left Synapse as a BaaS provider to partner directly with Evolve BT. The Synapse collapse definitely put Evolve into the spotlight as someone with a ton of turmoil, lack of sufficient oversight and insufficient technological governance.

Evolve is an otherwise obscure bank chartered in Arkansas but headquartered in Tennessee (a little sketchy) that has over-leveraged itself. This is why it was hit with a Cease and Desist from the FDIC. The C&D also probably contributed to them becoming a target for LockBit.

Evolve is also the underlying bank for Stripe Treasury, although to my knowledge, their have been no new partnerships with them. I have heard the number 2 thrown around. Of note, Shopify is the main person for whom this was built and uses this.

Consequently if you have submitted KYC/KYB information for Shopify, Mercury, Yotta, Dave, any other past Synapse partners, or some Modern Treasury partners your data was breached. This seems to be the primary information shared along with account and routing numbers. This becomes problematic especially as part of the check involves external account and routing numbers along with SSN of any UBOs.

Fintechs do not partner with small banks because of debit card fees but because of Dodd Frank regulations (primarily).

> Ah, but 7-segment displays are far easier to drive from a microcontroller, so even if an LCD is cheaper, it might make for a more expensive system.

It's not all about economics either; I can read a 7-seg display from clear across a factory floor from almost any angle in the dark.

Try reading those low-cost LCDs in the same conditions (the dark is worse, because the LCD doesn't have a true black so the contrast is lower).
Is the category of "deaths from speeding" large enough to justify any action whatsoever? Are "deaths from speeding" typically single vehicle or multiple vehicle accidents? Why does the Autobahn still not have speed limits on large parts of the road and why does this not cause massive problems?
I mean no, because there's (as of July 2024) no speed limit on the Autobahn.

The problem with automated enforcement of laws like this, is that the laws were not written for 100% automatic enforcement.

Everyone who has ever followed a car driving 5 mph below the speed limit on a two-lane road knows that it is basically impossible to ever pass them while staying under the speed limit. Legally, that's what you're supposed to do, but everyone - the police, the legislators, the courts, and drivers - understands that in practice it's acceptable to exceed the speed limit a bit when making a pass.

This is just one of countless areas in which the law is not actually written with the expectation of being enforced 100% of the time.
It does. And people drive between countries all the time in Europe, I personally drive through Germany few times a year and I'd hate it if my car had a speed limit purely because I bought it outside of Germany. But perhaps that's somewhat of an edge case that would work with a simple GPS geofence.
This does not surprise me. Over the past 2 years, I knew people who needed new PCs due to them being old and "slow". I told then do not get anything Windows, no matter what.

I would have preferred them install Linux or a BSD, but I do not want to hold their hands forever. So I said buy a MAC, windows 11 is very bad. And a few did. So new sales for Apple.

I do not know how Apple is with privacy, but they cannot be anywhere near as bad as Microsoft.
The real test is whether is able to understand that you are driving on the highway under a bridge and not on the bridge with much slower traffic.

It happened to me once while driving an ID4 on a 110km/h highway and it slowed down to 50km/h under the bridge.
Oh noooo...

"to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Yeah right.
In the US, you also need building permit or zoning approval for construction, if it is refused you can't easily go "above" them, unless you take legal action, which is prohibitively expensive. So I don't get why you think your system is somehow better?
Zine on Building LLM Evals with Forest Animals and Shoggoths
Almost every economic system in history has had some impressive wins, but that doesn't mean that they are all perfectly efficient. Modern corporate capitalism isn't the worst system ever but that doesn't mean there aren't massive flaws and blindspots.

Becoming a large company CEO is highly correlated with who a person has spent time around. If it were a true meritocracy you would expect a roughly even distribution across regions and backgrounds, which is very much not the case.

If you ever work in a large corporation I can almost guarantee that you will encounter managers who are much better at networking and marketing themselves than they are at doing productive work.
Assuming a standard 2.5gpm flow rate, even if water is free, that's a lot of energy use for a hot shower. 2,250 gallons of water per month on daily showers, assuming a 60/40 split for hot/cold means heating 1,350 gallons of water per month for just one person.

That's either expensive, bad for the environment or both, and not something Californias should aspire to do.

Normally I am a big fan of the EU but this is crap legislation. If you want to stop speeding, just do what France is doing: Frequent speed cameras and high fines. It is very rare to encounter somebody speeding there.
Government regulation is constantly decreased. Weed is now legal in most US states for recreational use (I think; at any rate, many of them). The recent US Supreme Court Chevron decision will, for better or worse, probably lead to significant deregulation.
Why would it be good when a node is data, since the data is always changing and the function would stay the same?
Indeed, but accusing someone of saying something based on unstated external knowledge/assumptions is the original problem here. They just needed to say words to the effect of "taken with point X what you say implies Y" and it would be fine and much less accusatory.
>Then don't and let the states do it.

Yep. So you believe that the states should print their own currency, set and collect taxes for the federal government, have their own military forces instead of a centralized military, set their own pollution standards, approve/ban drugs/medical equipment (pharmaceuticals, OTC, etc.), grant patents and trademarks and all manner of other stuff, right?

How, exactly, would that work?

Edit: Clarified my prose.

We’re saying the same thing. There are some who believe this is okay. But it is clearly monopolistic behaviour that should be regulated.
The slight speed increase that ordinary people do does not kill people.

We aren't talking about people going freeway speed in a residential area.
Honestly, I think it makes more sense to start with limiting cars somewhere around 90-110MPH; IE, the fastest that anyone would ever drive on a public road.

Where I live, speed limits are routinely set artificially low due to a cultural belief that rules are meant to be broken. IE, if the safest speed is 75MPH, then the speed limit is set to 55MPH because everyone will break the rule. If the limit was really 75MPH, then everyone would drive faster.

I do think we need frank discussions about what is a safe speed to drive, and the general public's tolerance for risk, before "speed limit aware" limiters are commonplace. Otherwise, these just smell like a scheme from an "enthusiastic rule follower" to try force unneeded rules when these rules don't need to exist.
> Arguably, we'd be much better off if we reduced our beef consumption to the level we could manage pasture-raised, which would hold pasture methane constant and reduce the feedlot co2 (and nitrogen runoff).

I'd love to see more locally raised meat, and I assume that would also have a side effect of reduced meat consumption. We've heavily subsidized the industry and so few people are involved at all with the meat industry that we've lost an understanding of what it even takes to raise animals or process them for meat. Farming in general is not a viable business today, anyone doing it to make a living eeks by primarily on government subsidies.

When you can truly know your farmer and can even go see how the animals are raise it changes the whole situation. Its a ton of work no matter how the animals are raised or processed, when done in the centralized feedlot way its also largely a disgusting process that most people would consider immoral and akin to torture.

When you can know your farmer because the meat you do eat is raised primarily on local pasture, I can only assume the risks of methane would be drastically reduced. Lower stocking density, plant life among the animals, and microbial activity decomposing waste in place has to make a huge dent in emissions caused today, from methane gas to fuel emissions used in a larger operation.
This is going to lead to some backpedaling.

I repair old timing equipment (think Race America, JACircuits, etc) as a side hobby, and a lot of it is large 7 segment displays with individual LEDs in series for each segment.

I am so glad people didn't try using an LCD display or similar, I'd never be able to fix them when the pixels/display panels go bad and the original manufacturer is long out of business. LEDs, shift registers, mosfets... all serviceable.
> What's the highest legal speed limit in the country in which the car was sold? Set a global speed limit to that.

Bad move. Particularly because scenarios where lanes end somewhat unexpectedly are not uncommon (think construction). Further, legislation can change the highest legal speed limit at the drop of a hat. It's the "why are timezones so hard" problem times 10.

Following existing law and applying reasonable expectations, I would point to the old adage "intent is 9/10ths of the law".

It would probably be legal to do this, as long as no one could reasonably show that you intentionally trained the LLM on said leaked source code with the intent to reproduce the product.

Of course, civil suits could be another matter entirely. If you pick a product to rip off that's owned by a multi-billion dollar company, all that can save you is the ethical limits of their legal team's consciences.
