It seems understood that people typically go about 5-10 MPH over the limit. I assume that speed limits are set with the knowledge that this is common. If technology like this becomes widespread and results in the actual speeds more closely matching the posted limits, will the speed limits eventually be increased, since it was always understood that people could safely drive a bit faster than the old posted speeds?

Secondly, I remember hearing that some car companies calibrate their speedometers to be a bit conservative (reporting a higher speed than is actually being driven), in part so they aren't sued by customers who get tickets. If different cars show different speeds, what will this do to the flow of traffic? Will everyone end up going as slow as the most heavily down-calibrated vehicles?
Mirror this before it gets a DMCA takedown or something.
It's not always about getting there "faster". I regularly encounter trucks with unsecured loads, drivers visibly weaving, and other dangerous situations. I'm certainly not going to die on some "well this is the speed limit" hill behind them.

Driving isn't some binary situation, you have to constantly predict erratic behavior and react to your surroundings.
Prices haven't really fallen yet to my knowledge. There is a lot of resistance to letting prices fall (marking to market), and many commercial real estate deals are multi-year. RTO mandates indicate that larger employers aren't yet willing to give up office work.

IMO I expect to see something give over then next 3 years, with some markets taking longer to correct.

But early treatment does lead to better longterm outcomes for a whole bunch of cancers, so I take issue with your facile reply.

A mole removal with local anesthetic by your local dermatologist will almost always lead to better outcomes than two rounds of surgery, chemo, and radiation to treat stage 4 metastatic melanoma.
Thinking the same. I think they’re just fiddling around but it won’t be anything serious. AdBlock on the other hand is a way bigger issue for them - I could absolutely understand (from their perspective) why they should try to tackle this problem with a lot of resources.
Thank you. That helps with my confusion a lot.
I wondered about this also. Seems like the virtualization that allows for spreading risk also introduces opacity, and risks of its own.

I agree with all these points, but I think the gp's question still stands. Their question is about how you properly regulate it. Is it specific to computer generated? Specific to "AI generated?" How is the detection done? Is it illegal but no one will check if you do it on your own personal computer but never distribute? Or are regulations going to be created in the same spirit of Chat Control and requiring monitoring of output to detect the generation of child pornography?

I think there are deeper questions here that can have many adverse consequences. There is no perfect solution here. If you ban the software I'm pretty sure that'll just end up creating a large market for generating this kind of material (there's already a decent market for photo nudifiers and these seem to be advertised in quite a number of places where I'm pretty certain this is already illegal). Spying on people and their outputs is not a great solution either, it is easy to bypass, and generates new security holes that can and will put children at risk too. But also we don't want these types of images to be floating around and it definitely does real harm to the people being nudified.

But what is the solution here? Regulation seems very difficult and I think we should take the question seriously. No matter what we do, there is some compromise. Even inaction compromises. So what are we willing to give up and to reduce the problem by how much?
I tested the Google AI on my phone, I had the browser open and asked it to read the page to me and it responded that it does not have access to the internet.

So I would like an AI assistant that:

1 can understand english and my native language

2 that is aware that runs on Android(or KDE/Linux) and can understand commands like "open the Android Settings , Application section " or "read the page that is opened in the browser" or "read the text in the popup that is now opened". Basically to be integrated with the OS via public and open APIs. Big AI companies could compete on selling us better assistants especially for multi lingual people.

3 the model should be small , it should not know geography, history, music bands etc, for tasks where the user asks question there should be an option for the model to forward the question to a search engine or even an online LLM.

Calling any piece of software 'AI' is the hype.

Software can do amazing things, no doubt about that. And there are plenty of advanced techniques for creating software that goes beyond just writing down algorithms in any given programming language.

But the use of words such as 'learning' and 'intelligence' is hype designed to package this capabilities as something diffuse and grander than what it really is - some way to map inputs to outputs in a useful way.

The problem is that it muddles the water, creating misconceptions among the public and generating frenzied booms that eventually go bust, while a lot of value that could go into research and development goes into rent-seekers and scammers.
Why reach for iFrames over other technology like WebWorkers?
I'm not concerned with this question as it implies that people haven't got a choice between "rent modem, ez for noobs" and "buy own equipment, fully control it." They do have that choice still, it must be some leftover regulation (from back when the US did that) in the case of cable companies, but I have zero problem with the ISP making those tradeoffs. The people who would trust the ISP-owned device likely have already typed that wi-fi password into things like $99 smart TVs which probably transmit their wifi password, location, and microphone data directly to China. Verizon having the wifi password is not cause for concern here.

Those who are security conscious enough to have concerns about their LAN security do not buy "internet + routers + desktop support as a service" by renting the endpoint equipment -- they buy just the internet connectivity and furnish equipment they can control and trust.
Trust is the flip side of risk. You need high trust when your app is high risk, as it can be in finance. So instead of asking how to get people to trust you more, show them how you are managing the risks of having access to their data.

I'm not suggesting it is happening, the article is.

I'm pointing out that whether or not the mgt is trying to screw the workers, the opaque approach with the "Communications Team" generated only suspicion about both what was happening and the intent of management.

Let's assume you are correct and the entire adjustment was pay neutral - the total payout to workers for an identical set of deliveries was identical to the penny, only redistributed favoring/disfavoring different mixes of cargo and mileage. Why is it to anyone's advantage to hide that fact?

In fact, if you are trying to incentivize different behaviors, the best thing to do is to provide ALL the information on the reward structure, so the drivers can immediately read and analyze it and immediately adjust their selections to implement the new system.

Instead, the only thing management generated was confusion, ,mistrust, and poor implementation of their goals. For me, this raises a legitimate question of whether management is simply incompetent, or if they are trying to hide something (i.e., they're taking money off the worker's table and trying to avoid telling them).

Granted, but as a sibling states, the other factor is firmware complexity. I can theoretically drive a high-resolution display on an 8-bit micro (although it may require with some clever bit banging to get I2C to work at all) but its trivial with a 7-segment display.

And as a bonus, you don't have to involve anymore UI/UX design than to answer the question "what number should go here?"
> that means they can know when and where a car is speeding

These systems don't require reporting data back, and there is no technical reason for them to do so. In fact, nothing in the legislation suggests this.

> it not only sets a precedent for collecting that information, but is forcing car manufacturers to start building up that ability.

Not only have states and cities started doing this, via ALPR, but cars are increasingly being provisioned with cell modems, and have truly awful privacy policies. Manufacturers view this information as a revenue stream.

So, not only does the "possible" situation you describe already exist, but the worst of it is non-state incentivized data collection from car makers. Both of those are (serious, imo) problems, but already exist, and are independent of speed alerting.

So idk what to tell you lol
Reminds me of the book “Reality is Broken” which understates its case considerably.
former Governor Phil Bryant signed docs to allocate those funds. Plain and simple. He claims ignorance. It wasn't a pocket change, he should have been aware of what he was signing and where those funds came from. It is plain corruption and he is trying to get back at the journalists for exposing his corruption.

Because intent matters in the law.

I do remember that EU and USA had spent good amount of money and effort to undermine any attempts for Russian Federation to form such bonds with any of its neighbours, and to replace any Russian-sympathetic government of these countries. And now they say they want to further fracture Russia and set up more of these borders with more misery.

> The worst thing is that you cannot even imagine any alternatives to it.

I can easily imagine alternatives to it (I've obviously been to EU many times), I just see throughout my life that we are not admitted to any of these alternatives. We're not getting any of that stuff, not in the past and not in the future, so I would rather have Crimea. And Lugansk. And Mariupol. This is the reputation that we need now.

systemd-boot comes up in the Q&A at 29:50. (The main problem nmbl is trying to solve is code-duplication with the kernel and therefore security issue duplication, and just like grub or any of the alternatives, systemd-boot duplicates code that's already in the kernel. The security holes will exist in any case, but the goal is to reduce security hole duplication by reusing as much of the kernel as possible, rather than creating something separate. They also plan on reuseing grub's menu code, so it will have the exact same menu as grub.)

> The question is: that there are CVEs everywhere, we're not unique in this sense, and whether we would use systemd-boot.

> So, systemd-boot, it also works only on UEFI, and I believe that the plans are to keep it that way.

> Ultimately, the thing is that the kernel CVEs will get fixed no matter what, the question is: do we want to have more work fixing more CVEs. The kernel has a lot of developers, has very high visibility, and they're able to fix the CVEs in a reasonable time period. And, those aren't going to going to go away, the kernel CVEs aren't going to go away, whether we do this or not.

> Systemd-boot, any boot loader, that aims to replicate the things that the kernel does is ultimately going to run into the same problems as grub. We're going to have the font CVEs, we're going to have filesystem and storage and memory allocation bugs. All of that stuff is going to exist in whatever boot loader.

> Again, for an individual user, if you want to install systemd-boot, great, go ahead and use it. It's good, it works. But as a general option it's just going to have the same issues, unfortunately.

That's a significant over simplification of how it works though to the point of almost not being a useful analogy.

If your analogy was you were a human who memorized every variation of a problem (and every other known problem) and there was a tiny perctange of a chance where you reproduced that exact varation of one you memorized, but then added an after the fact filter so you don't directly reproduce it...
