I like driving manual and I like my EV. But I don't want a manual in my EV. Just give me an EV without all the traction control smarts. Give me access to the raw power so I can control how and when it slips.

Hah, A lot of us already are pets, but at least the masters are still human.

Who said anything about silicon? Maybe AGI will be built on our current bread of processors or maybe the next generation. The only way i see you can be correct is if today's exponential technological advancements come to a halt or reve

I'll be keeping my body offline. But I think fusion with AGI is inevitable if we want to remain somewhat in control of our future. Otherwise we will be super ceded by super intelligent AI and become their pets.

Make some radical changes in your life to course correct. A lot of people where are giving you coping mechanisms, ie exercise, no drugs, etc. All good but the problem still exists; you hate doing what you are doing. Don't learn to deal

> That doesn't make any sense. "Legacy auto" knows how to make cars. To their final assembly factories there's not a huge difference between a BEV, PHEV, or an ICE drive train. So long as they feed in components they

Tesla is focused on unit production, SKU minimization is a side effect. They are supply contained. Why make additional models of cars if you can sell more of the ones you already make instead? There's more than enough demand to support

I agree that the EV tech stack is easy. EV retro fits illustrate how simple EV's are. But that's not the part that matters. What matters is if you can make an outsized profit building and selling EV's. Legacy auto can't,

by coenhyde 4y ago
The incumbents will defend that market segment to their death indeed. Tesla is pulling a 30% gross margin on their EV's, while legacy auto looses money on their EV's. I don't see legacy auto being capable of refactoring their

How do you think NYC supports the population it does? Manhattan is not filled single dwelling houses, but at one time it was. It was much easier to build in NYC in the past than now. If they applied the same zoning restrictions then as SF d

Land utilization is always close to 100% in cities. It's a misnomer that cities can "run out of land". Cities go up, they increase density. If they can't go up, it is usually because of zoning restrictions. And that&#x27

What a terrible take. You're the kind of NIMBY who creates the problems then blames them on new residents. How about you listen to their problems and solve some of them instead of blaming them for problems they did not create.

There has been some quality issues so not going to comment on that. But they're only "less maintainable" because you don't have to maintain them. No regular checkups, no oil changes. It's amazing. The only thing you

Self replicating AI maps closer to a virus than what we consider life I think (maybe our definition is wrong). But I can't substantially articulate why. No matter how i think about it there are exceptions and examples of things we do c

Sure all possibilities. But the point about policies and laws is to effect change in aggregate. We have all kinds of laws that try to prevent bad stuff from happening, but it still happens. Just because we can't stop all, doesn't

I'm not aware of any tests you are required to pass before you can have a firearm license. A driving test verifies if you are capable of driving a car. There should be gun safety and psych tests to verify you are capable and of sound m

by coenhyde 4y ago
Yeah there are some unregistered guns particularly in rural areas. But they don't really enter the market, they are kept as prized possessions by their owners. There isn't a black market for these weapons that is easily accessible

by coenhyde 4y ago
The thing is, even in Australia we didn't try to take the guns. We just said, "give us your guns, and we will give you above market rate money. Oh and btw it is illegal to own a gun that isn't registered." If your buy ba

by coenhyde 4y ago
FYI we didn't "confiscate" them. It was a buyback for any guns you didn't register. I am anti guns. But after living in the US for more than a decade I acknowledge a mandatory buyback program wouldn't work here. For

Well I was more imagining light infantry operations or recon in forward positions in the early stages of a war. If you need vehicles, you can use EV, then you generally don't need oil and lubricants as well. At least you don't hav

It is. I guess I was extrapolating without explaining. Whatever results they get from this test at sea level, they should be able to predict the efficiency for a Space Based Solar System. I wasn't necessarily saying their test verifies

1km through the atmosphere is probably all you need to verify that the approach would work for Space Based Solar. I know the military is interested in that. Imagine being able to deploy energy anywhere on Earth and not have to setup a logis
