The solution is simple. Just build big parking lots outside the city where land is cheap, and a bus service from these parking lots to the inner city. That way commuters can get to…

Social media AND smartphones became popular around that time. I think it's the toxic combination that's the worst - easy, low effort dopamine hits that are available everywhere via…

Yes, what Western world really needs is more people moving to already unaffordable big cities, because they can't afford a commute from cheaper areas. Landlords would really love t…

It's a good argument if you care about privacy and geopolitical risk, like a dictator suddenly deciding that citizens of your country should no longer have access, or should be mon…

If that is the case, where are the LLM-controlled robots where LLM is simply given access to bunch of sensors and servos, and learns to control them on its own? And why are jailbre…

The problem with current GenAI is the same as in outsourcing to lowest bidder in India or whatever. For any non-trivial project you'll get something that may appear to work out of …

>> Two-thirds of Syrian refugees are now employed, many reducing public reliance and boosting the economy. I don't think legitimate Syrian refugees were the biggest problem. Rather…

If you're into home automation, you could probably get pretty far with some light & moisture sensors (I recommend Xiaomi Flora bluetooth sensors for the latter purpose) and smart p…

This is it. It's rational not to give a damn in this environment, at least for anyone who isn't an entrepreneur or very well paid.

Perhaps you can't pay people enough to make them care, but you sure can make them not care by paying too little.

They do get parts through various third party countries. Sanctions really don't work in aviation either. Iran has faced harsh sanctions through the 2000's, yet they've kept flying …

I think the switch will happen sooner rather than later, considering the progress BYD is making in China (and many of their export markets). It's true that electric vehicles remain…

The key here is "under your guidance". LLM's are a major productivity boost for many kinds of jobs, but can LLM-based agents be trusted to act fully autonomously for tasks with rea…

I agree. Most frontend rewrites are totally unnecessary, caused by resume-driven development, desire for the latest fancy thing and most JS frameworks having a short lifespan. If L…

Even if the runway was only used from one direction (not true), it would be dumb to build a big concrete structure near its beginning. It's not unheard of for planes to come in too…

Build and create what? More cheap plastic junk for consumers? Big SUV cars for middle class that could very well drive a Corolla? Cloud services delivering social media that negati…

There's nothing wrong with resisting bad working conditions, unfair pay, or getting replaced by a machine without adequate social safety nets in place. If businesses decide to repl…

If it comes to a war I'm going to be on the front lines anyway, because I happen to live in a country next to Russia. Capturing a cargo ship guilty of sabotage wouldn't make much o…

The truth is that Russia has been making war preparations for a long time, also within the EU. In Finland even during the "good years" (between fall of the Soviet Union and Georgia…

I think it's time for a special navy operation which captures a Russian or Chinese cargo ship every time a cable gets damaged. The ships and their cargo could be then sold to the h…

I think buttons should not be replaced, but rather augmented with voice control. I certainly want to be able to adjust air conditioning or use my washing machine while listening mu…

If you don't need a big model and are fine with hosting locally, an RTX3060 with 12GB VRAM is going to do just fine. Can be bought for about 200-300 USD. I've been pleasantly surpr…

The money does exist, and manpower isn't a problem considering how many people this planet has. The problem is the small monority that has most of the money, and doesn't like to pa…

If we survive climate change, I would argue that conquering space should be the top priority to ensure long-term human survival. Projects like this ultimately gather knowledge that…
