>The main difference is that a plow cannot replace a human because a plow is a machine operated by a human. A single human with a plow replaced 20 humans with shovels. Do you believe the ratio of AI replacement will actually be higher?

When standard of living increases significantly, inequality often also increases. The economy is not a zero sum game. Having both rising inequality and rising living standards is generally the thing to aim for. Both parties seem to agree

A better name might be trace metals. They're not actually rare just extremely dilute so you need to create huge chemical leaching ponds (sulfuric or hydrochloric acid) either above or below ground to sufficiently concentrate and colle

This was somewhat true at once point but is a highly outdated view. Labor is no longer cheap in China relative to other nearby countries and there's a huge amount of automation with some factories that don't even turn on lights b

China has shown that they don't scale all that differently. Yes the tooling is hard to build but after that you hit go and the factory makes the copies for you. It's not quite startrek replicator but much closer to that than the

Yes it's fine even for planes. Boeing planes are still incredibly safe but some people now prefer Airbus and will use that when selecting flights. This feedback loop is what ultimately triggers change. Note that all the regulation wa

There were plenty of digital circuit engineers back in the 90s that said microprocessors were general and inefficient solutions to problems. And if you needed it programmable, well an FPGA was still almost as general and far more efficient

Yes, the Fed can always buy the debt so the end point is ultimately runaway inflation. A tale almost as old as money itself. Spending someone else's money is pretty fun, especially once you find a way to justify it as a moral good.

You can increase the penalty for running a red or increasing the relative sample of red light stops present in the real and synthetic training data. You can use neural net analysis techniques to confirm that features like color and stoplig

No, the owner of the site has beef with elon and makes it a point to bias Tesla negatively. I guess that's more the standard for news now but I always considered heavy bias to be a tabloid thing.

I agree the attacks were successful, I just don't agree they were successful because of lack of detection. You generally can't continually launch a even $1mil missiles at $100-$10k drones and expect to win. The problem is that mo

How many of those attacks were successful? Russia has fairly advanced radar that is quite capable of picking up a plane like that. I think the more likely explanation is that it was incorrectly deemed not a threat or a minor threat. 700

Most camera sensors already detect in the IR range, you just need to remove the filter. I've done it, works great and pretty fun to convert some old webcams, robot vacuums lidar scanners look especially cool. Blurry video is fine when

You can always leave or ask the airsoft organizers to make new rules. The more interesting question is whether there's some legal avenue to avoid being someone's "content". Reality TV has to get consent + releases so wh

Both administrations (Trump 2016 + Biden) adopted the guidance of Fauci and others at the NIH/NIAID more or less directly. So the guidance came through the administrations but originated with the NIH/NIAID. You had direct stateme

I think it was even slightly worse. The White House was effectively delegating the decision of who to ban/police to the NIH/NIAID, an organization that was funding novel coronavirus research in Wuhan. It's easy to see how at

Sure but when neighbors improving the land next to you results in your tax rate increasing significantly people obviously tend to be against that. You're gonna fight hard against your neighbor adding a Duplex, triplex, fourplex, etc. b

Another way to look at it is taxes aren't quite high enough yet to justify it. Many that are wealthy see the california tax as just another expense in return for good weather. The moving will absolutely happen, and it isn't all o

Your freedom to not have a flying car above you requires removing someone else's freedom to travel in a flying car above you. Problem is 'freedom motivates me' often works for both sides of the argument.
