In New Hampshire people have, in RADAR cases, been able to subpoena the operators, the calibrators, the calibration certificates, and the source code, on these bases.
The judge allows it, the prosecution drops the case.
One strategy is to demand a trial on every small fine to tilt the economics in favor of liberty.
Follow the money.
This stinks of sabotage inflicted by unethically motivated actors.
Presuming they're not just incredible fools, which we ought not assume.
The story is really really really really really stupid. Every minute there was another thing, dumber than the one before it. Sure, it is funny sometimes and it is a tragic story but all the elements of it taken separately are idiotic, dumb, moronic. Water based dots that contain more energy than nuclear bombs of their size would while not being so dense, as to weigh hundreds of tons under Earth's gravity. These dots eating our Sun and at the SAME TIME being detected around all stars (but one
As you can imagine I am 100% against communism and any form of socialism. Bezos and everyone else must have property rights not hindered by government, it is his business to run (or his board) and government must not be in position to dictate how any company hires and fires people, who they hire and fire, why, etc.
I fully expect Amazon to close this warehouse, maybe it will be contaminated with something radioactive for example, to make things easier and then it will shut down. Personally I root for the anarcho capitalist solution and wish Amazon to win this battle for its private property rights.
Next, most drivers tend to ignore signs and pick a speed based on their vehicle capabilities, road design, weather, and traffic conditions.
Dude the 85th percentile is literally a measure of what 85% of people drive when no signs are posted, based on their vehicles capabilities, road design, weather, and road conditions.
What are you arguing for, 90, 95%, the maximum, no limit? It's unreasonable to have no posted speeds, because half of you assholes just want to drive faster than the person in front of you and will unnecessarily accelerate to pass all the damned time on any twisty hilly road possible. Jesus Christ, you're not getting there any sooner. As soon as you finish passing and reduce your speed when you think the guy you passed can't see you anymore your average speed is no different. If you constantly fight upstream passing every single car, you still only shave seconds off your trip time and deserve every ticket you get.
Use a fucking GPS, just to drive across town even. Flip to whatever screen or setting shows your ETA. Now speed, and watch what it's all for. Fucking idiots.
Speeding is defined relative to an arbitrary value
It's more like the 85th percentile of observed traffic, and other factors are considered. Maybe it's different in some small towns, but not anywhere getting a fancy average speed monitoring system. Haven't you driven over those rubber hose sensor things laid across the road before, that's how they do the traffic study AFAIK.
It's almost our entire western coast and the single largest economy in the U.S.
Wherever you're from, they're not sending their best, huh.
"Nobody goes there, the line is too long"
Classic
Speed limits are set to ensure a ready supply of people to fine. The more effective and automatic enforcement is, the larger a problem there is going to be with the public.
Wait, there's abuse, like waiting at the bottom of a steep hill with a speed reduction. Automating the abuse, to wash hands, like red light cameras printing money for every slightly rolling right turn on red. An officer might be too embarrassed to do in person. Then there's average speed over some distance, and that's
Unless that's straight up hidden from the public I'm not seeing how it's possibly abusive. And speed limits aren't always abused anyway, come on.
Shitty speed limits are usually shit for a good reason, there's a turn at the bottom of the hill so the speed reduction is placed at the top to give you time. Or my favorite, going through an intersection it reduces from 40 to 30 at the far side, but coming the opposite direction the 40 sign is placed at the far side again, making it asymmetric.. and counter intuitive because there's no 30 sign facing you as you enter.. that part may be abusive. From an engineering pov these all make sense though, the visibility is different on both approaches to the intersection for example. But the cops waiting at the bottom of the hill instead of around the corner, or the cop watching that intersection and farming tickets for driving 40 twenty feet in front of the 40 sign, THOSE are abusive. If those two things were automated they'd get voted out of town as fast as that right turn on red camera was in my small town.
As I recall, Ohio toll highways did this years ago; if your time stamp at the booth was less than a certain number of minutes since the previous, you got a ticket for speeding.
Infallible, and took away the point really.
Sure, I guess you could speed and then pull over waiting before you cross the next gate but... Why bother?
Nah, AWS provides logistics to military and intelligence and has for quite a while.
It's tough to argue, "these aren't military targets, we just rent the equipment and provide services to the military for hundreds of billions of dollars."
Which is probably what people will argue.
Yes.
Have you heard the quality of her court discussions?
A Supreme Court justice that argues against the minutiae of 'legalese' seriously?
Analogies with the human brain don't work that well. In our case, every time we remember we rewrite that memory, altering it from slightly, to a lot, to completely. AI systems' baseline memory is read-only; it doesn't change during reuse, so it can be equated more with the way saving a PNG into a JPEG is still a direct derivative copy of the PNG content, no matter whether one cranks the compression up so the resulting image becomes way blurrier than the original. Being blurry doesn't make it not a copy. And, in being a copy, legal copying rights apply.
Now, if AI memory startes changing globally every single time it receives a request from any source, no matter how many sessions or API calls are happening, so that any new subsequent call is dealing with that altered memory and in turn altering it, so that its entire memory space is in constant flux, and there's no snapshotting to roll its state back to previous configurations, so they don't act as mere static lossy compressors, then it becomes an analog of a human brain with human-like memory, at which point accusing it of simply making derivative copies cannot be done anymore without also accusing humans.
The problem with that, evidently, is that when they start working like that, since they're functioning exactly as real persons do, they too become persons, with legitimate claim to personhood and to personal rights. Which is a legal can of worms no one wants to deal with.
