Should everyone have a hydroponics room? Even a basic amount of veggies generally require more land than townhomes, rowhouses, duplexes, low-rise apartments can provide.

Scientific research has been getting a bit too Pharisees-like in the last two decades, and it's causing a lot of people to drop out and join industry. I think enabling people to make discoveries on their own without the grad school haz

Gemini works amazingly well, and is better suited for most use cases. When most people speak of it negatively (especially here), it's just with the task of coding, which is a small subset of what google should be training its AI for.

We'll adapt. So far, it seems like every technological increase has demanded more cognitive ability, not less. Sure, we may not need 100 people who are experts at shoveling, but the people developing, maintaining, and even operating th

But they require large support systems (typically rich parents) to work for "free". Scholarships mean they're not free.

That's fine by me. I certainly won't be making any major discoveries on my own (not on this current life trajectory anyway), but am very grateful that other people have.

Perhaps this is the fundamental problem that can be solved with AI. As a non-scientist, I'd very much prefer to have massive amounts of scientific breakthroughs instead of massive amounts of well-trained experts.

But they're all highly unsubstantial, sounds like hit-piece lazy journalism. Almost all are just that Jeff was in a leadership role and part of committees that had things under them go bad. One was just saying that people disagreed wit

I don't see this group needing funding, in fact I doubt you could get a meeting to try to invest unless you're a personal friend.

These are all top-class engineers entering retirement age and none of them are hurting for money. This seems like Don Knuth working on finishing his books, or Tim Berners-Lee working on Solid.

And Zerox, though they didn't know how economically valuable it was.

What if the grants process were AI's on your side understanding what you want to do talking to the AI of the funding source, and they could provide immediate and direct feedback on what they would or would not fund and why? And it just

If you just got some agents to handle scheduling meetings, finding out which permits to get and applying for them, and finding capable sub-contractors, you'd save half the time.

People might be willing to give their known-to-be-finite lives in pursuit of the Greater Good, but the equation changes greatly when you're giving up an eternity for the chance of making things better. More of the population would be a

It's not that simple, trees contribute to global warming. Norway has had problems with the increased tree growth as snow melts.

Not really, even the best systems have like a 10yr break-even period. And I live in a place with some of the highest residential electricity rates in the continental United States.

You just want all your little worker bees to be in massive towers like Hong Kong, without a chance to even grow their own vegetables or have any private space?

We do have that, now that Tesla has been abandoned by the Left and pretty much all of the big Oil and Gas companies have heavily invested in solar and wind. Ironically, it's the unions and support of keeping old jobs alive that is hind

Yeah, Orange County. They don't try to compete on price though, just quality and speed.

That's just not true at all? Might as well just post that you like communism, you barely even tried to cater your post to the thread.

Human discovers other people are willing to abuse system out of pettiness or ignorance, for small feeling of power. Especially when nothing disincentivizes them.

The exact opposite, really. You live or die by app store ratings. Too many ratings are bogus (don't accurately describe the app's functionality, just some random feeling the user has in the moment). Either the App Store should tak
