Well, EVs are still early products and it will take some time to develop additional charging infrastructure. I personally have an EV for short trips around town and a gas car for longer trips or whenever needed. I would not recommend an EV

Is this the start of Singularity?

by wait_a_minute 3y ago
The Singularity people and the Rapture people are both correct. Can already see the event starting to take shape, just gotta know where to look for all the signs. Everything is rapidly heading in that direction.

True, but it does make hardware much more available and not a bottleneck anymore. At least not in the same way. At some point, if it hasn't been reached already, the power available with existing hardware will represent more compute th

The most recent examples I've seen from the last few years are very promising. Big investors are moving in, too. Even if the attempts failed in the past, they'll keep getting better. Just like with anything else - renewables, fusi

Like the Rapture and other concepts like that. How fascinating. Within a split second, in the time it takes someone to blink and hear a trumpet's blast, everything could change. Amazing! I can't wait!

Let's get to advanced vertical farming first since it's yummier and see if we need to get beyond that, but I like how you think. ;)

Earth is indeed finite, but if presently accessible resources give humanity tens of thousands of years of runway, that is for all intents and purposes limitless - because in that time the science and tech that get developed will resemble ma

Another example is how modern farming yields far more produce than in the past, with less inputs. For example, vertical farming can yield 240x more produce despite using 99% less land and 99% water versus a regular farm. That technology is

This is just bullshit negativity wrapped up in an academic veneer. Prepare for explosive and unlimited growth instead. Invest into new skills. Be optimistic. Make everything better around you. Make systems better and more efficient around y

We need open source models that are trained on the same data and that can be built from source and run on lightweight machines like mobile devices.

Fair enough as it's a very loose definition and doesn't require formalities or any kind of actual restrictions on the right.

History is full of examples showing that you're wrong. That is not the best case scenario at all. Is it a possible scenario? Sure, but not the best case or only case by any means. The country itself is founded on examples of you being

I do not think there is enough data to base this statement on. I am not aware of any high quality surveys or polling or better that would assess what overlap there is between people who highly favor freedom, with those who highly favor the

No, and your understanding of it is not reflected by the SCOTUS. You do not need to be in a militia to benefit from the 2nd Amendment or access it.

> I’m not sure how we push back against authoritarianism? This is one of the reasons why the 2nd Amendment is a good thing. However in the UK they lost track of why a population needs to be able to defend itself when a tyrannical regime

Privacy nightmare and authoritarian nightmare. Stick with cash options. Cash as legal tender needs to be a law everywhere.

> funding ventures != personally contributing to tech Yes it is. So is being an adviser or a board member with technical background and a name that attracts further investment. This is why people like this receive generous equity and are

Everything you said, plus that the sheer mention of his name and his new partnership will cause waves and investment to follow. He rests on a mountain of contributions and just his name and interest are enough to get something moving. The w

Nah, the majority of people like and want to be able to go anywhere whenever they want. It’s nice to have nice cities and nice public transport but you don’t need to get rid of cars for that. Some people have a weird fixation on having ever

These are just assertions without evidence, and every time I see these they inevitably end up being someone’s ideological gripes rather than something based on evidence. Cars are awesome. Yes, islands are constrained in space so it makes se

ok but how does this matter for other countries? The approach works for Singapore, but that says nothing about what is right for other places. Parent comment came across as being generally anti car.
