  • It’s not an offense to drive on medications unless it impares you

    Its not that its no offense, you simply can’t be prosecuted if no one knows about it. But that doesn’t equal legal. If you get into an accident and anyone finds out that you took opioide, even just medical painkillers, you will be attributed most of the blame in court.

    That also means I could drive whilst high from my cannabis prescription if there was no imparement.

    A prescription only provides defense in court, not an immunity to prosecution. It still is in your responsibility to prove that you weren’t impaired by your medication, which is nearly impossible. If your tolerance is high enough that your reaction time doesn’t decrease, then its nearly useless either way.







  • That’s not even the issue, it simply isn’t worth it for chip manufactors to ramp up production.

    Chip manufacturing is so expensive that machines have to run at 100% capacity to make reasonable profit margins from consumer hardware. Investment in new factories is only worth it if the demand stays high for 10+ years, which simply doesn’t seem to be the case. Most AI companies will collapse in the next few years and while AI in itself will probably survive, the hardware craze will eventually die down a bit.
