I can think of two forms of IP that might apply: copyright and patent. I was curious if either of those formed the basis for your claim, and if so, what your attorney might recomme…

What intellectual property rights are you asserting? Did you consult with an attorney?

Downvoting also decreases visibility of the statement, effectively silencing the speaker. If I disagree with a statement, why should I be able to prevent you from even considering …

Make plans all you like, and do your best to see them through, but don’t be surprised if God has other plans in store for you as you go through life. Keep an open mind, be willing …

Why do we need AI?

You mention you don’t have a degree and have never had a “real” job, and by giving us your age and asking for life advice, it seems you feel the clock is ticking. I get the sense y…

For those interested, the specific breakdown is on this page [1]. I don’t know what good will come of this discussion, unless all countries are willing to discontinue gain-of-funct…

I hear you. I’d like a phone that I can plug into a desktop station and use as a desktop computer. Surprised Microsoft didn’t go that route with Windows phone.

I found an article on the subject and the following is an excerpt: The answer to the question “does the party control a company?” is that it is impossible to tell. In the current e…

I’m not an evolutionary biologist, but I think that the longer an organism’s lifespan is, the slower the rate of reproduction and therefore there will be a slower rate at which the…

> But remember, antibody response (whether through infection or through getting vaccinated) is polyclonal: you raise a number of different antibodies that bind in different ways. T…

Sure. I believe distraction is a solution for many because it allows them to discover the self at their own pace. It’s a more indirect route that may take longer, but which may be …

Distraction isn’t the problem, the inability to face one’s self is the problem, and distraction is the solution. However, even with distraction, there is still insight. It just com…

I don’t like this gatekeeping philosophy. I feel that this line of thinking discourages self reflection because the first thing we usually notice when we look honestly at ourselves…

They’re taken seriously because they are discussed and debated ad nauseum. A better question might be who is taking them seriously? Experts in the field, or advertisers?

Nice essay. I think many of us grow up with idealistic notions of what our impact will be. We all grow up wanting to be the hero: improve the world by causing change on a massive s…

Roll me a constitution check.

I’ll look into these. I live in the US suburbs on a bit of a budget, and there’s a sweet spot for pricing that IMO hasn’t quite happened yet with most EV. I think the number for me…

I’m a bit hesitant to buy a used electric vehicle, but if there’s a good battery warranty I’d definitely consider it. A new EV Kona is $37k, not exactly economical to me, but they’…

I want a small, economic, non-flashy electric car for daily commuting. I don’t need the self driving feature or any other bells and whistles. Tesla doesn’t exactly fit that bill.

Holy can of worms. Queue someone training an AI to categorize social media comments as partisan, neutral, factual, or not factual. Probably the next step but what will this accompl…

I had a huge idea for a moonshot project back in 2012 but had to stop working on it and focus on more down-to-earth, immediate goals, such as improving my health. I come from a mod…

When will the truth be palatable? When we normalize it. By calling the device an Amazon microphone, we are telling the truth that this device is a listening device, not just a spea…
