He can allow non-California-special-blend gasoline to be sold in California, as a temporary emergency measure. This does not increase any production, but it massively increases the production of gasoline that can legally be sold in California.
(As a side benefit, he can also blame the need on Trump, if the environmentalists get on his case...)
No, not strange, selective enforcement is what's strange.
In London, it's illegal to shake rugs in the street. If police actually starts prosecuting people for that, and not all people but just bald ones, it's natural that people won't be happy and start asking questions about the anti-bald bias.
> No, not strange, selective enforcement is what's strange.
It's not strange at all, and in fact it's unavoidble. Rules and laws have always been enforced with discretion because of external considerations like limited resources, proportionality, mercy, prioritization, etc.
The argument in the post isn't that the enforcement is unfair, more that the rule might not make sense much longer now that software can write itself. Rule was written for a world where the artifact reviewed and the artifact running were the same thing. That assumption is breaking, and not just for vibe-coding apps.
The argument is silly, dev tools that allow you to run code were never allowed. There is no selective enforcement here and nothing has changed doesn’t matter if the code was written by a human or not.
Apple doesn't want software that can write itself available on its app store. I don't want software that can write itself running on my device. So for once Apple's priorities and the consumer's align.
Sudden decision? This looks completely in-line with what Apple has been doing since the launch of the iPhone.
I find the article most charitable to the idea that AI generated software is a different category than human generated software. It's merely a dev tool.
Not AI generated software -- DYNAMICALLY generated software, like at run time and ongoing. Even in-app directed by the user. This is not a thing that existed before, a degree of customizability well beyond letting the user pick a color scheme or from one of a few layouts or default start screens.
I don't know how good of an idea it would be, product-wise, to give programming level flexibility. I am reminded of greasemonkey scripts, but written in english maybe. Maybe it could be awesome. But Apple is saying "nope. Not interested in exploring this with you. BYE"

They don't allow general purpose software interpreters on their platform for the purpose of distributing apps. This is not new. AI adds nothing meaningful here.
Thank god there is at least one major platform preventing applications from doing this. I get in a perfect world this would be great, but we live in a world where we use apps built by corporations which do not have the user's interests at heart and their apps that we begrudgingly use are treated as practically antagonistic.
Most of the game runs on an external Cortex-M0 chip in the cart. GBC is incapable of this much computation per frame. This solution is elegant and not unlike what some of the fancier NES games did. Overall, very well done.
The SNES does something similar with the Super Game Boy, and it is surprising to me that the SNES does not have the memory bandwidth to run Game Boy Color games at full speed using this technique. Super FX games worked similarly and never ran at full speed, albeit they had larger dimensions.
But somehow the Game Boy Color itself can transfer a full screen's worth of tiles and their color palettes at what looks like 60 FPS. Quite impressive, really.
Some SNES games offloaded varying degrees of computation to on-cart chips, but I don't believe any NES games did. There was a Hellraiser game in development for the NES that was supposed to ship as a Z80-powered "super cartridge" but it was canceled.
Who will be the first to implement a one-layer three-weight model and add it to BitTorrent? Let it “train” on all downloaded files. That makes it fair use. Am I doing this right?
replacing the antenna with a 50-ohm resistor works very well. The car thinks it is out of cell reception and continues to work. No manufacturer would dare have their cars stop working merely due to it being in Montana (indistinguishable from having no cell antenna/reception).
So many airline crashes were traced back to “poor company culture” by NTSB that I would never consider flying a company owned by random internet people. Having someone with a lot to lose in charge of things is a feature.
Just because you like trains does not mean that it is actually a solution to everyone’s problem. For example, until proper law-enforcement starts happening on public transit, nobody in my family is allowed to take it in USA (they are allowed to do so in Singapore or Japan)
We can take the LEO's that would have patrolled highways/city streets and have them patrol on public transport, same job just slightly different environment.
Can I ask why you feel that public transit is unsafe in the US?
This is the same attitude as people who are afraid of commercial flying despite it being the single safest form of transport. I get it. But it's irrational.
You might not get stabbed, but driving is incredibly dangerous. Even just in terms of violence: road rage is tolerated to a large extent in America. The difference is that the news doesn't report even a small fraction of the traffic deaths in this country. In Iowa, the state I used to live in, around 300 people died every year from driving. I don't know a single one of those people despite their death being a tragedy. Whereas the stories you linked were broadcast coast to coast.
I can control the safety of my car by buying a bigger car, driving certain ways, etc. You are comparing risks you have no control over with risks that you do.
But I am in no way stopping you. Feel free to take USA public transit, and (i truly do not know how) look your family in the eyes and encourage them to do the same. I truly hope that I do not read about your or your family in the news in this light (nobody deserves that), but your chances will be higher than mine.
Newsom is not a refinery nor does he own any refineries. He cannot increase any production by definition.
