In theory, yes, and for obstacles in the road that would usually be enough, but for the road just... ending... it's not so simple.

Aside from the obvious fact that you're not looking for signs that the road in front of you simply stopped existing, your ability to recognize when it does also depends a lot on the geometry of the bridge, the color of the surface you're driving on, and the presence or absence of lane markings. In ideal circumstances, the road is perfectly flat and you're driving on a cement surface with clear lane markings, so the sudden darkness of the missing road is easy to distinguish from the relatively bright surface. But those circumstances are unlikely to be a reality.

Roads in general and bridges in particular are often peaked, leading to less visibility on the other side of the peak. This peak is often low enough that you'd see an oncoming car or a deer no problem, but the sudden end of the road would be blocked, and also the change in angle as you drive directs your headlights up and away from the surface of the road. Then there's also the possibility that you're driving on black asphalt which would be hard to distinguish automatically from the back of "there's nothing at all for my lights to reflect off of", and lane markings are often not bright enough for their absence to be instantly recognized before it's too late.

In this particular case it's hard to see too much about the bridge's geometry from the picture, but from what I can see one thing that would definitely have slowed the drivers' reaction times is that the guard rails appear to extend a good 10-15 feet further than the road itself, which would have created an illusion of continuity.

All of these reasons are why it's neither Google nor the drivers who are primarily at fault here—as others have noted, there should have been at a minimum warning signs but better yet a full roadblock preventing access to the bridge.
It's common sense. Nobody is trained to drive a car using GPS navigation as their primary instrument for situational awareness. You're supposed to react to the conditions of the route to ensure the vehicle operates in favorable conditions - be it rain, snow or darkness. Military pilots are taught the same thing, because operating a vehicle is about maintaining control at all costs.
This has been true for many, many decades:

A good engineer provides value to society. If they fulfill requirements that are bad for others then they are not good engineers.

I seems to me that there is also a social dynamic to things. If consumer grade products become a race to the bottom then it is going to become more difficult for regular people to purchase products which aren't low quality. There's also a degree to which society (e.g. in the form of government policy, cost of living adjustments, etc.) factors in differences in prices.
a. How much tax evasion is carried on by cash payments? Certainly they aren't the only way people avoid paying taxes, and I would think that restricting oneself of bills, however high the denomination, would restrict one's scope.

b. I have a $100 bill in my wallet as I write. This is not because I have it in mind to help somebody avoid taxes on goods or services, this is because I missed whatever prompt on the Citibank ATM that allows one to specify "all $20s".

Yes, they are. But it's very hard for a company to sign off on releasing a product that's going to cost them sales of their big money-maker, even if in reality those sales are going to be lost to an outside competitor anyway.
This is really disappointing and something I've thought about for years. One of my first website ideas was a platform to help connect communities with the local farmers. I've sat on a domain for years that I thought was really fun (farmersstand.com).

I've finally gotten around to working on this as my Thanksgiving "Bolt.new" project - it's all mocked data now but feedback on the direction this could go is much appreciated: https://www.FarmersStand.com
The problem is that the manufacturers lie and say that the LED bulbs will last for many years when they don't.
"Preserving the irreplaceable value of ..." works great as a personal motivation or a mission statement, but terribly as an explicit rule. It's the same problem as carbon offsets - if there's a formula for converting intangible values into cold hard cash, people will exploit the definition of the intangibles to make money.

If they can only copy, which I'm not saying is the case, then their progress would be bounded by whatever the leader in the field is producing.

On my ThinkPad it’s instead painted with a red dot. Because, obviously, the conventional meaning of a red dot appearing on a camera is “not recording”.
Antibiotic resistance was foreseen pretty much from the start. And this is hardly a cautionary tale. Antibiotic resistance just makes antibiotics less effective, and you’re still better off than you were without antibiotics.

A better example would be something like tetraethyl lead, which poisoned (indeed continues to poison) huge numbers of people for relatively minor gain. Even then, the problems were known, the profit motive just won out over the don’t-poison-everyone motive.

Thanks to social media, namely TikTok and Instagram, the secondhand film camera market has seen prices skyrocket. Cameras that roughly $100 have seen their value triple, sometimes, quadruple. It's never been more expensive to get into the hobby.
Is this even news news?

As other mentioned Apple has had either good circuit design or now 'attestation' (which has other concerns, but that's more of a state actor worry).

That said it reminds me of the fun reversal of how a decade or so ago, Windows Phone 'lost' the ability to get the hot app SnapChat, because they did not want to give apps the ability to 'detect' a screenshot command in the name of privacy. Now, We have Copilot on windows, and LinkedIn tells me when I've screenshotted a post as a notification.

This breaks efficient dependencies resolution. SemVer is called that because versions carry semantic meaning, TrunkVer appears no better than using UUIDs for each version name. You know nothing of the relation between two versions in this scheme, other than which came first.
> For people who consider honesty a part of their identity, it's infuriating that the system has a selection bias for dishonest people. It's not selecting a random 10%.

I don't think that's quite right. There may be ways to get temporary advantage from being dishonest, but I think that it is career-limiting for most people.

If by dishonesty, you mean using AI tools, I think that the reality is that we should consider all workers to be AI-augmented, going forward. We may as well not pretend that that's not the case.

> Networking is still selection bias, but one that favors white men. Racial minorities have fewer social connections to hiring managers, and women in tech have fewer friends working in the same industry.

I agree, and as a Black guy, I relate. Being mid-career now, I'm on the other side of that, where being well connected is immensely helpful.

I'm not saying it's a good system, but people still need to understand the game they're playing.
Yeah to me this is the biggest difference between static/dynamic types. I mean there are a LOT of differences DX-wise, but refactoring is so scary without static types.

If we need to make changes to the DB at work, I’ll just update the prisma schema and run ‘npx prisma generate’ followed by ‘tsc —noEmit’ to instantly see all the affected areas. I feel like there are a lot of similar little superpowers you get by having a nice static type system.

The book makes a lot of things clearer than the film.

Interestingly the book and the film were developed together by Kubrick and Clarke as a collaborative process.

Usually the book comes before the film, but occasionally it comes after.

I can't think of other examples where the novel was developed alongside the film but I expect there are!

Trying to use any kind of syntax highlighter with TeX is a pain in the butt. I didn't mean LaTeX there. I mean TeX, which can rewrite it's own lexer, and a lot of libraries work by doing so.

Seemed like it would be interesting to read, but I slammed the back button once the butterfly (wtf), blur effect, and thin grey font on a white background overwhelmed me.

> It's because we've reached a point where the average conservative rhetoric is toxic, harmful and generally flat out incorrect.

Yes, but not particularly.

> Political lines are now about acknowledging facts or not

Political lines are about which facts you accept. On many of the social issues of today, which are far more contentious than economic ones, liberal "facts" are often two lies and a half-truth wearing a trench coat. What liberals[1] want is a monopoly over which facts are on the table, and for all discussion to take place within that framing. And accusations of toxicity, harm, disinformation, and bigotry, are employed as rhetorical tools to preserve that monopoly.

[1]: By "liberals" here I don't mean average liberal voters, but politicians, pundits, influencers, and the class of affluent, politically-engaged people who tend to set the tone generally.

Yes, you’re supposed to be excited and accepting of things that save millions of lives, not decry them just because they have vaguely the same shape as something evil.

Ok, now prove this is true. Can you do so without invoking unobservable properties? If you can, then observable is all that matters, if you cannot then you have no proof.
Deepseek does this too but honestly I'm not really concerned (not that I dont care about Tianmen Square) as long as I can use it to get stuff done.

Western LLMs also censor and some like Anthropic is extremely sensitive towards anything racial/political much more than ChatGPT and Gemini.

The golden chalice is an uncensored LLM that can run locally but we simply do not have enough VRAM or a way to decentralize the data/inference that will remove the operator from legal liability.
I can see using this if what you're building is at the end of the supply chain, and there is really less need to make the claims that SemVer does. Conversely, if you have downstream consumers, I can't imagine taking away the compatibility statements in SemVer.
It's interesting to see how cities are handling the increasing bifurcation of wholesale and retail markets.

In Sydney, the current Fish Market is a grotty assemblage of small warehouses in what's now a prime waterfront location of the city that has become an unlikely tourist attraction, but still serves the wholesale market. They're building a new one right next to it that looks far nicer, leaves tourists much less at risk of getting impaled by a speeding forklift, and will keep the wholesalers around for at least some time since they've been promised fixed rents for the next X years: https://newsydneyfishmarket.insw.com/insw/new-sydney-fish-ma...

All other markets, though, have been shipped off to a massive complex in the industrial suburbs, designed for wholesalers with easy truck access, and with the arguable exception of Paddy's Markets (which mostly sells junk to tourists) there's not a single proper consumer retail market in the entire city. Meanwhile, over in Melbourne, there's a whole slew of them (Queen Vic, Prahran, Footscray etc) that all appear to be thriving.
Doing this manually was part of my first job out of college on a C/C++ compiler team. Kind of amazing that there is automation that can accomplish the same thing!
Ditto Australia.

This is "normal" - clearing, ploughing, seeding are short intensive bursts, harvesting the same.

Much of the rest of the year it's maintaining equipment, fences, and twidding thumbs, except that's boring and unproductive and so there are "filler jobs" - running a small business (welding, rousting, wall building, landscaping), renting properties, etc.

It goes wider than farming; for decades most rural areas I've lived and worked in have had most of the locals having several overlapping jobs each - too few people, much to do, no one task takes up full time, etc.

Forgot about R1, what hardware are you using to run it?
The EBNF in the page does not match the textual description:

- "ALPHANUMERIC" is only letters, not numbers
- "BUILD_REF" can contain dashes/hyphens "-"
- "GIT_COMMIT_REF" is the letter "g" and a single hex character
- "BUILD_REF" and "SOURCE_REF" may be empty, since they are 0 or more repetitions
- "TIMESTAMP" is arbitrary numbers, so month or hour may be "99" for example
Honest question. Why?

Clearly we need a food supply but why do we need to prop up unsustainable businesses that are over-producing demand? Farmers are massively subsidized and still barely make ends meet. Is that actually beneficial?

I ask this as someone who paid for books and beer in college working on farms.

“It” meaning the market or the institution?
"Let's effectively prohibit all non-CRUD apps" that's hilarious. "If your startup needs to solve hard computer problems, you're going to get an IRS audit". wild. It's like the 90s cryptography export laws, except it applies to domestic development too!
So the market moved 40ish years ago, and now it has to move again, the institution is fine?
It’s sad to see this kind of nonsense in a place that so prides itself on rationality. If a bunch of technophiles can’t even accept the idea that vaccination is the first or second most effective medical technology in history (sewers potentially taking the #1 spot) then the whole thing seems completely hopeless.

I’m really not looking forward to the return of measles and polio as common first-world diseases, but that seems to be the trajectory we’re on.
Tesla's consistently subpar emergency door release situation is definitely worth reporting on, tbh.
There was a documentary on Prime Video a couple of years ago that followed a card counter as he moved from casino to casino living out of his RV. I think he was up around $600K after one year. He was having to get kicked out of small casinos all over the place and keep moving to new ones every few days. At one point he tells the camera crew that he has to start driving 1/2 a day to skip over a few spots to stay ahead of the surveillance.
It didn't look easy but not impossible. He got to set his own hours and be his own boss.
That seems inappropriate to me for a README — at least in its current, somewhat inflammatory, form. Is the commit itself an act of protest or is this a genuine attempt at getting it pulled?

The third act is pretty much Jaws after the breakdown of the animatronic shark. There are actual pre-production stills showing aliens [1], but this was found unsatisfactory and the film drifted towards a much more abstract direction. Probably, it's the much better film, because of this. (Personally, I can't think of any solution showing the events in real life that isn't cheesy or even kitschy. It may have been The Abyss of 1960s cinema. As-is, the notion that the first two realistic acts of the film are driving towards an enigmatic, kind of open end, was certainly important for its reception and its long-term relevance.)
