Comment Toll roads could've done this decades ago (Score 0) 193

I've been wondering for many years before the first traffic camera appeared, why the toll-roads aren't enforcing the speed limits automatically. The time you enter and exit the highway is recorded down to a second. The distance between these two points is known — your average speed could be computed on the spot even with the early 90-ies technology...

The polite police officers would be standing right behind the toll-booths issuing tickets without the drama of hiding in the bushes, then chasing you at highway speeds...

And, yeah, you could lower it by stopping at a rest area — but it'd still be a tremendous disincentive to speed.

I was and continue to hope, that such universal enforcement, affecting all voters, would cause the limits to go up to reasonable figures — or even be abolished completely...

Submission + - Anthropic blocks Claude subscriptions from third party AI tools like OpenClaw (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Anthropic says Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage inside third party tools like OpenClaw starting April 4 at 12pm PT. Users who previously logged into those apps with their Claude account will now need to purchase usage bundles or use a Claude API key instead. The company says its subscription plans were built for normal chat usage, not the automated workloads often generated by external clients and agent frameworks.

The move appears aimed at controlling compute costs as demand for AI models continues to rise. Third party tools can generate far more model requests than a typical user chatting in a browser, especially when automation or scripting is involved. Casual users likely will not notice any difference, but developers and power users who relied on those tools may now face usage based pricing.

Lying to yourself is the biggest danger for trying to stay Anonymous. With enough patterns to recognize, the idea that one can hide is a delusional take.

The only way to win, is to run EVERYTHING you post through an AI that changes the tone and words used in all your online activity. But even then that may itself be a lie.

I read that and was simultaneously laughing and angry. I'd call it a load of horseshit, but that would be insulting to horseshit.

What a bunch of windbaggery. Meaningless, feckless corporate speak.

We know. They know we know. We know they know we know. They don't care.

Nothing says "fuck you" like a "well worded" press release. It was only missing the AI EM-DASH.

William Shatner is a classically trained Shakespearean actor who appeared in festivals and on Broadway prior to switching from stage to television. His TOS enunciation and emphasis is due mostly to his experience with radio performances (which were over the top verbally) combined with directors on TOS constantly telling him to increase the astonishment. And in reality, wasn't anywhere near as pervasive or dramatic as the pop culture version that pokes fun at Kirk.
