Didn't one strain of the flu become extinct during the pandemic because we masked up and staying away from each other for a year? One would think that if we just kept that up we'd get rid of all the others. https://www.

Your post has reminded me of Vimes’s Theory of Socio-economic Unfairness[0], but I can't figure out if you think that the way the system works is a good thing or more just "this is the way the world works" [0] https:/&#

I'm not sure the SR is really that large of a paradigm shift. All Einstein did, I know that conceptually this was a large leap and just saying "all he did" is doing him a severe disservice for his contributions, is note that

I do agree them pressing the SaaS angle feels bad. Once I found out about the stack that the RM is built on I was blown away, I definitely had a moment of "why are they hiding this?". I told a few others in my office (we're s

You probably could, but you'd have to find a way to port the display stack or write your own. Edit: here's one of the big sites for 3rd party software for the remarkable https://toltec-dev.org Edit2: Here's someon

The RM runs on linux and they hand you the admin password. I'm not sure how much more open you can get. Just SSH into the device and then use one of the 3rd party stacks for syncing.

Good news for you! The ReMarkable is build on Linux and you can direct access to the whole system via SSH!! They even give you the su password so you can do _anything_ you want with it! You can break the custom integrations that they create

This is entertaining to game out the idea that anything that happened digitally more than 7 years ago just disappears. A rolling Nothing that just eats anything that's 7 years in the past. A Great Oubliette into which we just toss any

There's a project called DizqueTV[0] that lets you set up "channels" of media to be streamed to a Plex server, which then lets you send that onto a TV. It's not quite the same as straight TV channels. But it's prett

If we're concerned with traffic throughput then shouldn't we just increase the allowed speed? Why even have a limit in the first place? I don't understand your point about having to slow down to follow at a safe distance. If

Slowing down isn't an option?

Okay, but that's not the scenario that was being discussed.

To be honest, I have driven in the EU, but really only on a technically. I rented a car when I visited a Spanish island and really only drove a hundred or two km. That said, I'm not talking about what people do, I'm talking about

I do the same in my Subaru, even at the furthest, the safe distance is choose is no where near the 300feet(approximately 20 car lengths). It's closer to 8 car lengths.

I'm sorry, did you want an exhaustive list of the roads I've driven? How many times I have driven out west? Which routes? For how long? That's a ridiculous thing to expect from a random on a forum. Should I list out all of th

A lot of hills have passing lanes _specifically_ for this issue. By that logic, that the time vehicles are on the road are necessarily limiting capacity of the system, then we should be vastly increasing the speed limit! Why not 100mph? 120

by zehaeva 2y ago
This is the only answer that I've seen that's reasonable so far!
83.
by zehaeva 2y ago
You're adding on a whole lot of edge cases onto an edge and coming to a conclusion that you think is best. Some guy is shutting you out of the lane next to you, slow down and merge behind them.

How close do you find yourself to the truck in front of you? Safe follow distances are, At 65MPH, I'm assuming you're in the US, is approximately 300 feet. I'd be kind of shocked that you're getting stones hitting you an

by zehaeva 2y ago
Why will you _want_ to pass? Is that 10mph going to get you there _that_ much faster? If you were to follow that truck for all 1300 miles of 395 you would get to your destination 3 hours later than if you were going 70mph the whole way. I w

If they're going so much slower than the limit that it's unsafe, wouldn't it be easy to pass at the regulated limit? If they're going just a _little_ bit slower than the limit, why pass them? Are you telling me that 3kmp

If all vehicles are limited in the same way I am uncertain how this could even happen. If the computer enforced max speed is 120km, and I'm going 120km, and the vehicle coming up is also going 120km, they can't overtake you, they

by zehaeva 2y ago
So if every car is following the speed limit, that is going as fast as they are allowed, why would any one person be passing someone else?

by zehaeva 2y ago
So the solution to a lane ending unexpectedly is to speed up? One would imagine that slowing down or even stopping would be the correct solution there.

The statement of the argument is classic Dualism. I am pretty sure that Dennett is setting up the scene in order to poke holes in the said argument.
