So you’re saying they had to pass a law clarifying a contradiction in previous laws? Those contradictions were my original point. And it still only applies to the slow poke lane.
You’re literally viewing the law as a precise programming language, whereas I’m arguing that the reality is that laws are written in natural language that contains not only semantic ambiguity, but temporal ambiguity where one law is not coherent with another because they were created by different people at different times with different incentives.
You also didn’t bother responding to the meat of my argument, but hey you do you. Personally I’ve found that anyone who refers to other human beings as “NPCs” is void of any substance.
This is mostly down to people being afraid of anything even remotely trades-like. Learn to do some basic home repair, it will save you thousands.

Cars are pretty heavily regulated...
What I see is what is necessary to live and what isn't. Elastic vs inelastic demand.

Huh, no, the average American middle-class household cannot do this.
> If one sector becomes hugely productive, and creates tons of well-paying jobs, then every other sector’s wages eventually have to rise, in order for their jobs to remain attractive for anyone.
I'm sorry, but anyone who has lived in the lower income brackets knows this just isn't true.
This is hard to read. Whoever wrote this is extremely out of touch and thinks they're eminently intelligent. It reminds me of the "smug San Francisco" South Park episode. The world is going down a road of hurt and you've got elites who are so busy "winning" over the past 50 years running around sniffing their own farts.

Installing a new HVAC system is not "basic home repair".
Yes, there are HVAC-related repairs that qualify as basic, but we're also talking about the big things.
And while yes, many homeowners could learn how to install a new heat pump, run refrigerant lines, make sure every connection is torqued properly, etc., most would not want to or have the time to do so, and that's fine, normal, and expected.
People oversell how much windows just works. It only does so because it comes pre installed. I regularly reinstall my wife's and it's always more of a pain in the ass than Linux.
This is like saying knowing if you're dealing with NEAR pointers or FAR pointers is extremely relevant. I reject the premise - a model that forces me to think about these things is a degenerate model.
Obviously "insufficient" is always going to be subjective. But some technologies really do end up bad by consensus, and I'm getting that smell from async. There really aren't any world class software efforts that rely heavily on async code. Big projects that do end up complaining about maintenance and cognitive hassle, and (c.f. the futurelock thing) are starting to show the strains we saw with C++ exceptions back in the day.
Async looks great in a blog post full of clean examples. It... kinda doesn't in four year old code written by people who've left the project.
It depends upon how many resources your software needs. At 20 servers we spend almost zero time managing our servers, and with modern hardware 20 servers can get you a lot.
Its easier than ever to do this but people are doing it less and less.
I've noticed something similar. I've been working on some concurrency libraries for elixir and Claude constantly gets things wrong, but GPT5 can recognize the techniques I'm using and the tradeoffs.

> On the other hand “in compliance with law” is it’s own barrel of monkeys because it doesn’t specify priority.
It really isn't.
