Well yes, but the US was supposed to have three separate branches of government to keep each other in check. Unfortunately turns out that in practice two of the three don't actually have any power at all when push comes to shove.

No such studies can exist since AI coding has not been around for a long term. Clearly AI is much faster and good enough to create new one-off bits of code. Like I tend to create small helper scripts for all kinds of things both at work and

Absolutely! On my desk I have an HP-28S and use it nearly every day. In the office I have a newer HP, which isn't quite as nice to use as the 28S but still quite good. The ergonomics of these are so far superior to using software apps

Hardcoded limits are problematic because they completely lack context. On that very same road with a 20mph limit, 40mph might be completely safe or 3mph might be extremely negligently dangerous. It all depends on what is going on in the are

But you most likely don't have that entire road be full of little kids in the sidewalk all the way. If you did, then yes probably 10mph or less would be wise.
