On the one hand, it feels a bit cheap. On the other, getting ahead due to micro but losing due to lack of pattern recognition and problem solving seems like a rather complete demonstration of both the strengths and weaknesses of current AI.

I only had a chance to see the live game, but very impressive stuff, especially in the early game! However, it does seem to have the same issue as all other AIs in that it is inflexible and fails to adapt to unusual situations - As the comm

I think you're misunderstanding parent - Oregon has no sales tax, so the price of cans/bottles will be about the same as Washington, which has no deposit.

I noticed that one too - it actually redirects to a USDA page with information on what temperature foods are safely cooked at.

The mobile web has always been utter trash, it's just gotten worse in the last five years as more sites have rolled out mobile versions. Disabling Javascript helps a lot, but the "request desktop site" toggle is still frequen

One thing to note is that this $100 million only needs to allow them to build their 1/3 scale prototype - if they're successfully able to demonstrate the viability of their technology, they'll presumably be able to acquire fu

This is equivocation - parent was discussing the founders' integrity in the sense of whether they are running a scam, not the broader moral integrity of developing this technology. While I am dubious about commercial supersonic flight

The hardware is solid. The software is atrocious. I suspect part of the reason they still have a fairly good reputation is that they really were some of the best Android phones available, a few years ago, but by now they're nothing rem
