Those are not mutually exclusive endeavors. Please be aware though, that there's always going to be a large population segment that will desire to proceed directly from point A to B in comfort. Unless by "public transport" yo

It's hilarious (to some people), and those people paid to take part in that perceived hilarity. And how exactly would Olive Garden shut this down?

It really depends on how the hypothetical upload process works. Scan and replicate? Heck no. That's just death, with the creation of a new consciousness that behaves exactly like the original, while not being the original. It would req

I don't fear it. I simply don't want to unwillingly die. Life is incredible, and I'd like to continue enjoying it on my schedule. "Conscious entity doesn't want to die" should be justification enough for not wa

I don't see it as arrogance at all, I see it as being uniquely fortunate to be in a position where one can attempt to address a fundamental problem that affects most people. I'm not a billionaire and have zero prospects of ever be

I'm not sure if you're joking, or simply did not read the article. The capsule described in the article is person-sized, and uses nitrogen asphyxiation.

"The driver said she was using Autopilot" "she had actually had the same kind of collision on Autopilot previously!" I've got a hypothesis...and it has nothing to do with autopilot being faulty.

I'm not really sure where the giant leaps are. Fact 1: Tesla is attempting to develop a self-driving system that is based on machine learning. Fact 2: Training machine learning systems requires training data. Having large amounts of re

I can only speculate, but within the last few years it's become vogue to hate on Elon Musk and his companies, despite the incredible amount of good Tesla has been doing for humanity and the planet.

TLDR: Actually address the fundamental problems (spoiler: sexism and racism are not the fundamental problems, they are aggravating factors) that allow sexism and racism to cause issues for disadvantaged groups. Most of the discussions aroun

Unfortunately, we're in a bit of an echo chamber here. The average person is either unaware of these types of issues, doesn't care, or can be easily swayed with "think of the children"-type arguments. There's going

Sadly, I'm not worried about that particular possibility. I'm fully expecting Google to roll out some similar BS within a year or two. "For the children" of course.

I can only speak for myself, but I can assure you that on my end it's not contempt in the least bit. Rather, it's excitement at the hope of an amazing future; one in which people who work do so because they choose to, and not beca

"Responsible for [...] and the murder of millions (so far)" This is an incredibly strong claim. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, as I legitimately am not familiar with what you're referring to here. Would it be possible

I can offer a contrary anecdote. I grew up in a Canadian city, but my family never had a car. I spent my entire childhood bussing everywhere. It sucked. It really fucking sucked and I hated it the entire time. Most journeys across the city

Most humans enjoy being comfortable. Costs (financial and ecological) ignored, it's safe to say that a large portion of the population would choose to proceed quickly from point A to B in the comfort of a private enclosed vehicle. Obvi

Please suggest an alternative estimation technique then. There is a certain # of calculations/s necessary to meaningfully emulate a neuron. We currently have no idea what level of fidelity is required, but we can make guesses for each

It's currently being worked on [1]. It's only recently that we've managed to capture the complete nervous system connectivity of C. Elegans, one of the simplest organisms with a nervous system. [2] [1] https://en.wi

Yes, and the methodology I've described (whole brain emulation/WBE) is the worst-case, brute-force, but guaranteed approach. The following diagram captures the expected growth rate of computing power, and contrasts it with several

You can, today, go to Pheonix Arizona, download the Waymo One app, and summon a full self driving vehicle. This happened silently at the end of 2020, and was overshadowed by the ongoing pandemic doom and gloom. https://blog.waymo

Sure! How much am I being paid for the nuissance of construction, and ongoing disturbance of my day-to-day life when waste deliveries occur? So now that your appeal to emotion has failed, do you have any actual points?

A properly used and fitted N100 or P100 respirator will, by definition, protect the user from infection through inhalation. If we're resorting to making guesses about infection profiles, intuition says these types of users have probabl

Just throw a surgical mask over the P100's exhaust. You'll get to keep wearing a mask that actually protects you, while appeasing people who don't understand that a P100 wearer probably does not have corona... At least that&#

Potentially yes. This is just a SIM card, so one would additionally need to have a modem, consistent power source and space for all of these extra items. The value of the telemetry would need to be worth several dollars / month over se
