When you no longer have angency or ownership over your own capital, it’s not capitalism, it’s feudalism.

Okay so how are you going to filter all the water in every water shed, pond, lake, estuary, etc?

Oh yes, the entire heating/cooling system is quite a beautiful bit of engineering. a very elegantly designed “supper manifold” and heat exchanges that can push or pull heat from any device to another in the vehicle. They don’t even hav

That’s my point really, we just commercialized everything, and introduced a bunch of extra steps. Could argue it enabled us to scale and handle very large amounts of people residing together.

It’s funny how as we increase a nations gdp, and general wealth, we commodify everything. day care, dog walkers, psychical activity, etc and then we have to go back and do all this market research and artificially recreate what was holistic

deleting fb and instagram, essentially when I was a teenager (which I saw early on was contributing to my depression) was best decision I every made. I moved to a small town from the big city and learned to socialize with people. Coming ba

this is true, so we just lack the incentives to make them? a human copilot is just a core part of the sport?
13.
by trainsarebetter 1y ago
This is I’d say partially because we don’t have a HUD that can handle the bandwidth and pace of data required for rally. Overlaying a visualization of the turns ahead would be much better than a copilot for sure

This is pretty naive take. We have turned eras of lush forests into essentially deserts and killed water sheds. These things don’t default back to a thriving ecosystem. Lots of the time they are just dead. Pre tree planting, after clear cut

Good design is good design. Road dosnt need to be anything more than a path with consistent surface texture. If we want to develop general purpose machines, then we can rely on placing external sensors in the environment

It’s not binary. You ran way too far. having simple, generalized infrastructure that’s repair ability can be democratized, and having a free market of what can use said infrastructure is robust. Road infrastructure cost a lot of money to

Nonono. Externalizing the part of the compute is bad idea. increasing the cost and complexity of a socialized infrastructure is bad as now it relies on external reliability, we can barely maintain roads in there current form

That’s a good point. I coming from the perspective that waymo is more of a “dead reckoning” approach compared to Tesla long(and maybe never ending) road.

The psychological distinction is definitely something that was perhaps overlooked. we need to put the blame on some one, for closer. Loosing to some rounding error definitely is haunting

Short term, perhaps, long term they might end up with a more generalized robot operating system. It’s definitely more flexible

Sounds like there’s actually around 32ish, based on photos from the “war room” where all the engineers have live feed from all the cars and 112 rides ? https://x.com/aelluswamy/status/1936865682810946035

No bicycles? That is ridicules. Many city’s are now trending towards people centric design. Bikes are a key part of that

But buses actually don’t. you just pay for it later. Roads are one of the fastest deteriorating forms of infrastructure. the hole “ but rail dosnt make money” argument ignores the fact that… roads don’t ether

The fact that they no longer require concrete to install is a huge win. Concrete is a very labour and co2 intensive material

In theory I guess, but hasn’t all this gov spending essentially been hidden? If doge finding are true? (And in which now I guess it is public)
