Reply to 7 international companies have teamed with the EU to form the International Hyperloop Association, the industry's first trade body. by lughnasadh
If r/futurology wants to retain any credibility long term, I would suggest adding a rule against Hyperloop. It’s been thoroughly debunked. If you want high speed transport, they have maglev. There is no practical benefit to vacuum travel, it’s bad all the way down.

Your argument is that of a straw man, it does not actually address the issue at hand. They are not composing a message in the way that generative algorithms like those we have now can, out of whole cloth. I would also argue that one could not copyright the autocorrect strings on iOS, see below for an example:
“Okay dear I just don’t think you know how to do anything for me to be able and to be honest with you lol”
This is just me selecting words that apple has determine are likely to be used together. There is no agency to it, and I would argue that, given the legal precedents at play, are not copyright eligible. Grammarly for example recognizes grammatical patterns, based on rules of language that are defined (as much as any language can be said to have rules) and suggests more technically correct ways to say what is being supplied by the author. There is still an author, however, with editorial control over the content, which they generate out of whole cloth and supply to the algorithm

Not really comparable, also patents are not copyright in the slightest. Copyright specifically applies to creative works. (Not limited to, just geared towards, I should say)

That’s a big question. If AI grows to that point, then we will need to reckon with that. I wish I could say, that’s a philosophical question that will garner many opinions

Of course not, copyright is a human invention for humans to monetize human effort. If we don’t allow monkeys to own copyright, then AI is not eligible. This is not even a real question. If they can’t own the copyright, then how can they be credited as an author? Many people on r/singularity will argue, but this isn’t any more human than my first “hello world” in Python

One thing I found awful was the increased availability of individually packaged Similac 360 something, while pro advance was still nowhere to be seen. Much higher markup on those, as you can imagine.

Reply to Don't add "moral bloatware" to GPT-4. by SpinRed
The reason humanity survives to this day is because of the instincts that we currently express and understand as morality. It is more advantageous for a population to cooperate than it is to compete, in some regards. To remove moral thinking from any AI is to actively make it less human-like

You could argue that the data here says otherwise, given how incomplete this datum is. What if all the demand was fulfilled by high density housing? Now we both know that this isn’t the case, but that’s only because the homeless problem in. California is well documented.

That’s not necessarily a causal relationship. Come on, we’re on a data and science focused sub. I’m saying the picture here is incomplete. You can determine very little from this particular chart on its own. I’m suggesting that OP maybe correct for variable demand using some empirical data, which will paint a more interesting and complete picture. I don’t know anything about California. I’m not arguing it’s a perfect state, and I don’t know how what I’ve said could be misconstrued as such. I’m trying to be a good steward of the data, and prevent those with preconceived ideas of what this extremely specific datum means from misunderstanding or misrepresenting it. Honestly, touch some grass and then take a good look at this thread.

I’m not asking why. I’m wondering what the demand for this class of housing is, because this data on its own doesn’t really describe anything. Different demographics will have different intrinsic demands per capita, and I’m just asking the question.

Demand for housing absolutely, but I don’t happen to know how many people in California are trying to build new single family homes

I’m glad others have had similar thoughts; when I saw the title my initial question was “this is the supply, what is the demand?”

The claim can be whatever it wants. The fact of the matter is that your available capacity on anything other than motorized tracking panels is going to be about 30% of ideal while sill having a reasonable hope of being aerodynamic. The realities of the application at hand are at odds with the claim. Also worth noting is that the kind of days that would provide this level of solar performance (assuming everything else works by magic) would also necessitate climate control for the benefit of battery pack and driver. The solar car concept has fundamental issues; I worked on a solar car competition in college and it was only possible with future solar panels, future energy storage, future efficiency gains, and zero utility for the user. Like much of what gets posted on this sub, it’s CGI wishful thinking

Assuming you’ll need about 2KW of power for this size (e bike kits usually go up to 1kW) and those solar panels can provide about 150W (curved panels are dogshit) you’ll probably get 100miles out of this thing tops. You could probably expect to gain a mile of range per hour with full sun. This thing is another solarpunk pipe dream.

That’s 150W of solar at absolute best. Just ride a fucking bike or take a train, you cannot design your way out of physics.
