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...

I've run into these people, they're the worst

When have you last checked your compiler's output?

No conversation cannot be improved with more bigotry, right MAGA?

With the rise of MAGA, it seems there is more than that. SuperKendallism is pervasive.

This is not only true, it is the most important takeaway. AI has not created these two kinds of users, they have always existed.

"Religions generally accept wisdom from sacred texts."

This is false. Religions CREATE privileged texts, which they call "sacred texts" or scriptures, which contain stories that are fabricated. Religions do not "accept wisdom" from these created texts because religions create those texts.

Now, parishioners could be said to "generally accept wisdom from sacred texts." Perhaps that is what you meant. Religions are a mechanism to control people, scripture is a tool that is used.

Personally, I think the entire premise here is absurd. AI usage doesn't create two kinds of users, there were these two kinds of users before AI came into existence. Religion is particularly effective on one of those two kinds.

"... this CO scheme wouldn't be legal here in CA..."

It would not be legal in Texas either, but legal is what a judge says it is. Judges aren't there to find you not guilty.

Earlier in my life I had a friend whose father was a prosecutor. He claimed his father had never lost a case and couldn't understand criticism how that result was not something to brag about. Turns out his father was a personal friend of the judge that tried his cases and served as a temporary judge in that same court when the judge wanted time off. He thought this level of corruption was a point of pride. Texas, although likely occurs everywhere.

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. Local government basically steals whatever money it wants while officially looking good to the voters by making the "bad guys" pay for things. That will end when the "good guys" get fines in the mail.

Society seems to be engaging in a race to ruin its infrastructure.

"...not that you should be speeding on public roads in the first place."

Why is that? Speeding is defined relative to an arbitrary value, if the state doesn't want speeding it should set those values properly. Speed limits are set to ensure speeding, not to improve public safety.

The mullahs thank you for your support.

No (imaginary) kings! Just (real) totalitarian theocrats, please!

Yeah well, we can't all be a person who doesn't understand how things work. Kudos to you for being simple minded!

Oh, that's pretty neat. Microsoft is definitely the right level to address this at - they already have permission to enumerate the HW, own the hardware and software infra to tackle this, enjoy economy of scale other players are not privvy too, and can deliver a solution in a vendor agnostic way. Thanks for the heads up. It's the right thing to happen.
