I'm usually not a fan of photo enforcement because I see it abused to fix bad city/traffic planing, but I think it could be really valuable to enforce proper headlight regulations. LED headlights, especially on SUVs/trucks are a huge hazards to the public, maybe comparable to light drink driving.

On a individual level, your examples may not representative of younger generations who have less liabilities. This demographic of course are more likely to rent and buy a cheaper car (or no car at all), consequently they would likely have a higher liquid/non-liquid asset ratio and therefor would probably benefit in the short term to deflation. In the long term they would fair better than older generation for the reasons you mention, plus the fact they can change their living situation faster (new location, rental, job etc) at the detriment of their landlord or other leasing companies.

Regarding inflation, I would argue that younger people are more susceptible. Their free cash flow will drop, and at higher rates could lead to negative flow which over an extended period would be financially deadly especially for NEETs or other people at risk.

Didn't know of that. Can you link me?

> biggest act of terrorism

Not to be pedantic, but that was just an attack, I wouldn't call it terrorism. Not sure anyone was scared by an explosion at the bottom of the Baltic.

You don't know me. How can you assume anything. Arrogant much?

I do use GTP* regularly for language learning, or making python templates to extend off of. Is it useful, kinda, not essential imo, but it is not worth as much as it is hyped.

Its the AI hype train. There is so much money flowing around this topic right now, everyone wants their share of the pie. I would guess that anyone writing articles on the topic has some stake in AI as well either as an investor or a employee.

What I find is interesting, is that the negative news regarding AI safety is adding to the hype as well since it seems to capture a lot of attention.

HN is for real discussion, not quipy Reddit comments.

Why are all of these comments about China vs the West (whatever that means) Who brought up the "west" in this context? and why is it so important?

There are some interesting points about academic motivation here, I dont see why we have to make this a red vs blue issue. Are people offended we are talking about a particular nation? Are shills or bots steering the conversation?

The tradition has been banned by the authorities (AFAIK) because someone was put in a coma a few years ago. I'm guessing he is referring to men still being allowed to fight back then? Maybe it was (still is) seen as virtuous for men to fight? I dont know

Cant wait to see the box it comes in. 1TB RAM! or terrible LLM branded as Ask Jeeves

Who is the market for this?

Noname laptop manufactures? Grandma who does not need to learn another UI? OS fanboys who need a laugh?

I always assumed so, and I never feed it anything sensitive.

Sounds like it belongs to the locals. Let's not spoil it online...

I've almost been killed before as a cyclist, a semi with two trailers did not check his mirrors before merging into me while speeding. Being this close to death was honestly traumatizing. I think it about it way too often. What would have happened to my kids, would I have been killed instantly and so on. I only accepted this event because the road is inherently dangerous.

People get hit by cars all of the time, and are usually not reported on unless there is a fatality. The cyclist in this case wasn't severely injured, why does it need to be reported? Is it clickbait? Or does SFG want to stir up fears around self driving cars like they are cyclist murder machines?

Regardless, I feel like this is not very interesting news until its clear that Waymo or who else has a overall worse track record than the average human. Going back to my near accident, I am excited for self driving cars because they have the potential to be better than humans in the future.

It is a type of storage media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open

Is it just me, or does it feel like there are some strange comments in this thread. Like responses to comments that add nothing but trying to shut down conversations... Patriots I guess

Now that you have root access. Check for a microphone device or other things that could be utilized for surveillance.

Im always skeptical of IoT devices.

The RCMP held a gun to my wife's head when she was pulled over and threatened to shoot. I think it was because she was driving a beat up car in a wealthy part of the city. After they realized she was a student, they just let her go and did a complete 180 pretending they were all buddy-buddy with her.

During the interaction they said some really threatening, creepy, and disparaging things.

We launched a complaint, but since we left the country (for work), they said they couldn't do anything as we were non-residents.

The whole thing was completely unacceptable. I'm not anti-police, but the RCMP need serious reform. I feel uncomfortable every time we return to Canada visit family.

> As a former recruiter, I very much disagree:)

Then agree to disagree. I find it offensive that an employer would care what I do in my free time.

I wouldn't want to work for you. :D sorry

You will of course find someone, but its not me.

I think you're over thinking this.

I mean to say if a recruiter asks me about a gap in my resume, I would see this as a red flag. The length of the gap is almost arbitrary. If I sat at home for 2 years straight playing Quake3, but have provable skills (e.g. technical assessment) for the job, the employer should not care what I do on my time. It is MY time.

I have a gap on my resume, I went thru-hiking, sure that is a good enough and maybe positive explanation, but if brought up on an interview I'm going to pass on any offer unless I'm desperate.

I don't want to work for someone that judgemental. I enjoy my work, and making good things, but also work is work. If an employer is going to judge me beyond just the skills I bring to the table, that is a major red flag.

maybe I am not the ideal candidate then, but if you are looking for someone perfect on paper, your going to get someone who _was_ perfect on paper

I think this is stating the obvious if you are eyeing a position in mgmt. Im ok with this.

However I feel like this propaganda to scare people back to the office

We're terrified. The "western" auto industry has been slammed. Condemned by many talking heads, were expecting this trend to go viral...

Does this sound like a respectful opinion? Or one that desperately wants my click? I'm not reading this.

But in general, I will vote to keep my QoL. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with import tariffs if required.

I usually don't call marketing material literature.

Did you read the whole thing?

This is just spam. Mixed in with somethings we already knew.

Its marketing for a new AI assistant whatever. Waste of time.

dead man walking!

1. switch to subscription model <- we are here 2. jack prices to maximize profit among the proportion of customer that can pay higher prices. 3. smaller startups migrate to other cheaper tools 4. cheaper tools slowly become mainstream 5. vmware is irrelevant and dead. ~ 7-10 years, maybe less.

The problem with this strategy here, is that unlike Photoshop (sorry gimp) there _is_ alternatives.

The laser projector thingy sounds cool. I want to try it.

But beyond that, aren't voice assistants kind of dead? Sure it is probably much better powered by today's LLMs. I think it was the function and not the form that killed that market. (Alexa, Google Home, Siri and so on...)

For $700 and a $24/mo sub subscription... Lets see if it sticks.

Yeah, as before piracy (audio/video) was never primarily a cost issue, but an access issue.

Another example, even if I rent a movie online, I can't often get it in my language's audio or subtitle because of my region.

It is funny that the industry can't seem to get that.

The article seems out of touch when it comes to the causation...

> The EUIPO speculates that financial pressures, like inflation, means that people have less money to spend on entertainment.

I cancelled Netflix because of the drop in quality of the content over the years. It just isn't worth it to keep it around for the few shows which are decent. I don't pirate, I have other hobbies, but I could imagine many people in the same circumstance would pirate content to catch a good show. This is doubly true of movie geeks that would subscribe to multiple streaming services at once to get their content.

This feels akin to Chrystia Freeland saying families should cut a $8 streaming subscription to balance their budgets... during a COL crisis where people are spending >$3000 a month for basics.

> Kind of funny that it is assumed that a human-operated vehicle would be more prompt in getting out of the way.

Honestly I think it is silly to assume not. People (in general) have a pretty good intuition if EMS is coming their way.

Beyond that, this is a commercial service that is to be rolled out en-masse, it has to be better than the average human or else you will have lawsuits left and right.

> I think the fact that the vehicles stop is better. Emergency vehicles can use any lane even for opposite traffic - so go around them.

That is not a tenable solution.

Not only that, have you ever tried understanding building code in order to construct a "legal" residence? Sometimes it is regulated to the point where I could not build a house unless it had the right angle and shade of red terracotta roofing tiles.
