It seems there needs to be more doctors to help reduce the insane workload. Must be lots burn out suffered ? by Drs?

Not enough doctors in the pipeline. The government gave doctor associations control over the pipeline and basically even encouraged reduction, because it increases wages. They don't want to many doctors. Lawyers do the same potentially even better.

I'm sure burnouts happen but the fundamental problem is the pipeline.


I recall, One bit sound was detailed extensively in Byte Magazine starting in mid 70s. A square wave that has its frequency varied. A google of the words " Generating speech with a square wave wave , Byte magazine " picks up lots links about this technique. Fourier transform show a square wave consists of odd sine wave harmonics. [A more advanced technique (more than one bit) would use microprocessor interrups to generate several sqare waves, output them with more than one IO pin and combine them with a resister network]

This mention of one bit sound made me remember the Lis’ner 1000 project of Steve Ciarca , cira 1984 , WHICH WAS speech recognition system of about 30 words. It used a GI SP1000 chip


I never had a Commododore , but I had several other computers starting from around 1979. From that era , from arount 1975 forward there where often SEVERAL NEW different computers released each year. That include SBC Single board computer that was sold as the board , often without a power eupply or case and S100 systems and DIY hobbyiest build systems I still have most of books and magazines from that era, most of my computers , got lost, I still have a few.


Its not clear to me if the driver died while car was moving? and the car stopped somehow as a result of this?

If so I wonder if car activates blinker - hazard lights and tries to move to the edge of the road ( to the slower lan? ) to try avoid accidents ?


HW4 vehicles with recent FSD software will pull over to the shoulder, activate hazard lights, and stop if the driver becomes incapacitated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKFlQz0qNwU

But the OP says this driver's car was model year 2020, which makes it HW3. All versions of FSD for HW3 (including 14.1 lite, the latest version, which came out after this incident) will stop in the lane with hazards on: https://x.com/JonBbC_TechGeek/status/2086347029018501183


This is entirely regulator's decision.

Hazard Lights: Yes, the vehicle will automatically turn on its hazard lights

Controlled Slowdown: The car gradually slows down to a complete stop within its current lane.

Horn & Unlock: Once fully stopped, the vehicle places itself in Park, unlocks the doors, and may sound the horn continuously to signal for help.

Currently, Autopilot and supervised FSD are classified as Level 2 Driver Assistance Systems. Regulatory frameworks (NHTSA in the US, UNECE internationally) mandate that:

1) No Autonomous Lane Changes During Failure: Level 2 systems are not permitted to execute pull-over maneuvers (changing across active lanes to reach a shoulder) without driver supervision or dedicated Level 3/4 autonomous certification.

2) Risk of Pulling Over Unsupervised: A car pulling off to the right shoulder unguided could potentially cross multiple lanes of traffic or steer into a blind spot/guardrail if the driver is incapacitated.

3) Default Safety State: Regulators require the vehicle to safely bring itself to a stop in the path it is currently tracking (the active lane) with hazards illuminated, rather than attempting an unmonitored multi-lane drift.

Is this LLM output? It's not supported by your source, which only says that activating the hazard lights is permissible, not that pulling over is impermissible. In fact, your source says: "We note that Subaru indicates that when the driver is unable or unwilling to take control of the vehicle, the system will bring the vehicle to a stop. A vehicle system that stops a vehicle directly in a roadway might, depending on the circumstances, be considered to contain a safety-related defect, i.e., it may present an unreasonable risk of an accident occurring or of death and injury in an accident."

The Facebook owner has agreed to cough up billions after claims it set out to turn kids into addicts – but only if TikTok and YouTube match it.


I wonder what would happen if Annas archive announced

In response to the 340M fine, .... "We have set up a LLM and are deleting all our books ? "


when I read title . "Annas archive owes $340 million absolutely first thing that came to mind is " How much do all these Ai companies owe for their unauthorised use of books and other media?"

A paragrap from the linked articale

Z80 was the choice of a microprocessor for then home computers such as Radio Shack TRS-80, SORD M23P, M5, Sinclair ZX81, ZX Spectrum, KayPro II, and many other manufacturers.3 It was capable of running the CP/M operating system in most Z80-based PCs. Z80 had a reasonable share in the PC market until Intel revealed its 16-bit microprocessor in the mid-1980s. Z80 was very popular as a microprocessor not only in PC applications, but also in industrial embedded applications, and some of the big manufacturers have Z80 core inside their ASIC chips still today or use enhanced versions of Z80 in consumer electronic devices.4–7 Zilog still manufactures ez80, an enhanced version of the original Z80, which is still being used by Texas Instruments in its TI-84 and TI-84 Plus calculators.7 It is among the few silicon chips that made a remarkable impact on the electronic device industry.8 To this day, Zilog produces a range of Z80-based microprocessors and intelligent peripheral controllers, and they are available from reputed electronics component suppliers.2,9,10 This microprocessor is one of the longest living microprocessors of all time.


Z80 also powered the whole MSX line of home computers, how could have he missed that?!?


Also mentioned the KayPro II but omitted the Osborne 1.
