I have an engine with a 50mph speed limiter on it. I open the hood and add a resistor across the input sensor so that it thinks I'm going 20% slower than I really am. I start driving at 60mph. How does society enforce the speed limit r

The context here was a class API, not a REST API, so versioning is not relevant.

Ah, okay, that's much better then... In principle, that then allows the server to aggregate or optimise the operations rather than performing them as written. While that might not be relevant for version 1, it's useful to have for

I think this might be the paper being referenced: Melanie Mitchell (2021) "Why AI is Harder Than We Think." https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.12871 That sentence is not from this paper.

Google "Web" results (not the default results you get when you search) still seem okay for me. You can force them with the udm=14 url trick, or select the "Web" tab in the results. No AI, no images or shopping results, a
