> The question is: will this prevent more deaths [than the alternative]

I hate that question. It's pure utilitarianism and is used all the time to rationalize removing/limiting freedoms in exchange for safety and security. Deaths prevented should not be the ultimate metric unless a totalitarian police state that keeps everyone perfectly safe at all times is the desired end goal.

In this case I would rather have the freedom to intentionally speed (because I need to get my wife to the hospital more quickly, because I'm in the middle of nowhere and want to, or any other reason I deem rational) than be marginally more "safe" thanks to my vehicle nannying me.
Especially when you get a jackass that speeds up because you are passing them.
Crashing into another person is the problem-- not that they were speeding. Unless they were driving recklessly in a congested area in which case this would do nothing to help.
> Very few people drive the speed limit, so you're now stuck at being the slowest car on the road. (This will still be a problem under this law because new vehicles are the only ones affected.)

This is by far the most dangerous part. When you're on a freeway where everyone is driving 80-85MPH and you are driving the speed limit of 65MPH, you are the danger to the road. Speed may make accidents deadlier, but the speed differential (whether positive or negative) is what causes accidents. I would not be willing to drive on any of the major Bay Area interstate highways with a car limited to the speed limit. It would absolutely cause an accident eventually.
I upvoted this post because it correctly describes an issue that I saw as well: the question isn't really about computability at all, it's about a label--at least, that's the question that Sipser (and Aaronson) intended to ask. But many readers (including me when I first read the question), seeing that the topic is supposedly computability and recognizing that the computability of the constant functions mentioned in the question is trivial, are going to consider the issue of computability of how the referent of the label is assigned, which is actually a more interesting computability question. Then, when the reader does this, Sipser and Aaronson say they're confusing religious beliefs with math.

I've never been offered a better deal with Comcast/Xfinity for using their modems or hardware. Renting their stuff is $10/mo and a modem is $100, last I bought something like 5 years ago now, for a higher end one that supports gigabit service.

So, $100 or pay $10/mo forever, and over the past 5 years that $10 would be $600, or $500 saved by buying my own modem.
Collecting clients other people hosed is an easy business. Except, entrenched incompetence may still pine for the convenience of a quick sometimes-broken kludge (some folks expect everything to be glitched half the time).

Same. We build our own Python and have been running it for years without a single hiccup. Not sure what the big fuss is. Pyenv does the same thing.

The concern could be absolved by simply improving the docs with the most recommended compile flags. I think they are actually noted there. Also of note our build time decreased substantially with llvm.
Regulations are removed all the time in the US (see the repeal of Glass-Steagall act as a recent, prominent example)
> You have no sympathy for me when i find myself driving amongst others who drive above the limit?

I also often find myself driving among other people who speed. I stay to the right with the OTHER drivers who are following the law. I always drive the speed limit and it's never a problem for me. Many states' laws require this, anyway (faster traffic to the left, slower traffic to the right).

Muonic atoms are many, many times smaller, and neutral — so small that the reduction in atomic radius by substituting a muon for an electron can catalyze fusion. Purely muon helium would be the smallest such. (Tauons can’t form atoms as their decay time is shorter by orders of magnitude than would be needed.)

I find pixi great. If anyone uses conda, pixi is a drop-in replacement where the environment is associated with the git/project directory, similar to devbox/devenv/flox.

The story is a bit complicated. There was conda by the anaconda company written in Python. Then the open source ecosystem conda-forge is a conda channel with CI build bots. Then mamba being in the same umbrella under conda-forge is a drop-in replacement of conda written in C++ (this is actual drop-in that `alias conda=mamba` should work.) Then now conda uses libmamba as the solver to speed it up.

Then the author of mamba spin it off to pixi, a rewrite in rust with different philosophy on how environments should be located and activated, with full compatibility with conda environments.

Conda always supports installing packages from PyPI via pip (when it isn’t available from conda channels for example.) and pixi support PyPI packages via uv. That makes pixi fast. (There are other optimizations done outlined in their blog post making it much faster than even mamba.)

If anyone uses any non-pure python packages, then conda is the way to go. Package manager choice (conda/mamba/pixi) is secondary.

The problem with PyPI is the lack of gate keeping. That coupled with lack of standard way to package non pure python packages makes environments leaking (see comments on errors encountered in exotic or old environments), and/or non-reproducible (especially when people is distributing source only and doing crazy things in setup.py to bootstrap their environments including compilers.)

In conda land, the conda-forge channel has pretty good gate keeping to ensure quality, such as being constrained properly, licensed properly (PyPI maintainers sometimes didn’t include the necessary license file in the distribution), environment isolated properly, etc. it’s not bullet proof as there is official bot that maintainers can use to auto-merge changes from PyPI that has wrong version constraints for example.

The problems that no tools can solves right now are centered around PyPI: deal with packages not available in conda, and releasing packages virtually mandates releasing on PyPI first.

When installing packages available on PyPI only through conda, there are some of its dependencies still available through conda. AFAIK, no package manager will use conda packages to fulfill the PyPI package dependencies. You can manually add the conda packages to resolve dependencies, risking not subjecting it to the right version constraints.

And when you author an open source python package, even if your setup relies on conda channels only, you most probably would/need to release it on PyPI first (releasing on conda-forge channel virtually mandates a presence at PyPI first). Then you need non-conda tools to help you. This is why Rye would still be useful to people like me, and worth checking out.
> It was supposed to be sovereign. It gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for guaranties of never being attacked... Russia can't be trusted.

The US was the first to violate the agreement, unfortunately.

> It's not "NATO" deciding "hmmm, let's expand east".

Lobbying groups from inside and outside those countries advocate for membership, etc. There are hawks in the US that don't care about Ukraine being neutral because they want to squeeze Russia.

> Bold and efficient use of force???

Putin has effectively used a much weaker military to thwart the US at every turn. He is a much, much smarter strategist (again, unfortunately). I am no admirer of Putin. Most recent US presidents most certainly qualify as war criminals, for what it's worth (unfortunately).

The sad part is that the US is encouraging Ukraininans to fight and die for a cause that the US has no intention of supporting in a significant way and has no intention of truly following through with. The US has been duplicitous with Ukraine and in spite of many US hawks wanting to go all in for Ukraine, it won't happen and they know it. The best they will do is donate weapons and let Ukraine harm Russia as much as possible while there are Ukrainians left to fight and while the conflict doesn't escalate to the point of endangering the US mainland.

Incidentally, it is quite likely that Putin will be nudged into attacking the US mainland at some point, either via cyber attacks that cost lives or actual munitions.
If Amazon can successfully do it such that other companies whose products they were hosting had to relicense to source available from AGPL, then, based on the strength of their lawyers, it is likely that those integrations are not actually needed to be released. And even if they were, it doesn't really matter, people don't use AWS for their source code.
Right now automation allows neither of those things. The best you're going to get is existing games reskinned with AI slop assets---the new shovelware.

In some hypothetical future world where GenAI content really is as novel and worthwhile as content made by humans, this will be a different conversation. Until then, I doubt it's going to satisfy even the tiny minority of people who literally want to play the same game, watch the same movie, read the same book, etc. over and over again until they die. But it certainly has the potential to severely damage the overall quality of the media landscape in the way I described, because people who care about money more than quality are in the driver's seat.

From TFA: “The EU regulations permit a system that can use [...], or a speed control function in which the speed of the vehicle will be gradually reduced.”

Sounds a hell lot like an actual limiter.
There are many places where roads are too close together for GPS to be reliable (for instance, frontage roads or spaghetti bowl interchanges).

If you're driving adjacent to or above/below a slower road, the technology needs to know that you're entitled to drive at the faster speed.
Over the past 10 years, I've noticed that most gas stations near me have replaced their pumps. They look like they have 7 segment displays, but if you look close (as you do when you're standing next to it pumping gas), they are actually high resolution LCDs showing numbers in a 7 segment font. I'm sad for what improvements could be had, but aren't.

In my state, it's illegal to go over the speed limit at any point, for any reason. If you want to pass someone, you do so in the left lane, at the speed limit, and then move back over to the middle/right lane. And you best believe you'll get pulled over
I don't understand the downvotes. The surveillance potential of this is _massive_ and dystopian.
So what? Amazon is perfectly content distributing the source code, because they don't actually modify it, only host it. That was the main issue that caused many companies to relicense to source available.
Glad I left California. You guys can keep your limiters.
In a fantasy world where everyone does, I agree. In our reality if you’re the only one going the speed limit in what’s often not the right most lane then you’re a road hazard.

Please explain how, because your current complaint is not based in reality.
There are pretty easy examples of decreasing regulations, both in the US and in Europe. The US is particularly easy to come up with examples: the supreme court has banished many regulations, reverting to more laissez faire states, whether related to gun control, campaign finances, TV broadcast rules, rules on marriage, the scope of CDC's or EPA's power, etc. The tax system gets simplified every few decades, after it accumulates cruft.

If you use shaders and are smart about GPU data structures you can do it, I have got 5-6 million particles running smoothly (60fps) in my own testing which is just a hacky weekend mash with no optimization, here's a blog post of someone who went into detail on something similar here:

From the blog post:

> This version can hit 20m particles on on M1 mac at around 20fps on battery life. That is pretty crazy for pure javascript. My desktop can do about 30m at the same fps. I asked a friend who had a 32 core CPU to test it and they hit about 40m which is almost enough to fill five 4k displays.

Having a full engine toolkit at my disposal with mature sytems for geometry, physics, particles, templating etc would make me much more productive than having to write the shaders myself, even if the engine has some overhead.

You pin the "disable speed warner" to your infotainment favorites and click it once when starting the car.

With wireless-phone-as-key, keyless ignition and automatic transmissions, drivers of modern cars who disable the speed warner this way still do less than people driving older cars.

The current effect on race drivers is small. It's about the cultural shift towards respecting speed limits and forcing car manufacturers to implement reliable speed recognition tech. Once that in place, the time will be ready to switch to speed limiters.

In most places in the US I doubt that's true re speeding. Speeding us usually defined as exceeding the posted limit for at least some set time and/or distance, to enable overtaking or other temporary need to go a bit faster without it being an offense.
The term is "source available," but I guess with that, companies can't use "open source" as a marketing term then pull the rug after they got enough contributions, like so many that converted to BSL and others now. By creating rights for those companies such that they cannot be competed with, you actually remove the rights of users, which is the whole reason the open source and free software movements got started in the first place. They are and always have been about the rights of users, not of corporations.
Yes, I stay to the right too unless passing or exiting to the left, etc, for the reasons you said and others too (the right lane has a shoulder next to it, increasing options in an emergency) Still gets you passed a lot if you're unnecessarily slow though. If the prevailing speed is a speed I feel unsafe going, then sure, I'll accept the passing.

But if the prevailing speed feels safe -- it might just be 5 MPH over the limit, or the limit might be unnecessarily low -- of course I will just go the prevailing speed, to maximize safety. What kind of a fool would do otherwise, just to satisfy an imaginary policeman in his head?
Yes, these things are good pointers. After all, the cure for procrastination is to just get started. "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but reducing the size of the task and reducing the stakes are good ways to get rid of barriers to getting started.

Several reasons:

1) time – a fraction of the time per victim means exponentially many more

2) skill – no photorealistic drawing skill required

3) a live referent – a genuine (here, shockingly genuine seeming) nude photograph implies that someone undressed and let themselves be photographed

4) even in the presence of a referent, a drawing is not a carbon copy ("freeze frame") of a moment in real life, and is proof of nothing
