Do we think these will come down in price in the next few years? I $500 want one, but not $3000.

I don’t understand what you’re saying. What’s wrong with eudaimonia?

Could you make each purchase include an hour of wifi? It wouldn’t be too hard to set up and I don’t think people would mind.

Or after an hour keep providing wifi but put up a guilt screen explaining that you have costs etc.

Not at all.

I’m saddened that a jurrasic park comparison shuts down all debate without considering the merits or risks.

Better to take that risk and learn what’s there than to never know.

Nothing has held back science and progress more than that one quote in that one movie. Pretty amazing if you think about it.

Maybe an artist can make huge images or whole catalogs of images with technology like this.

Maybe more people can be game developers with access to free original artwork at their fingertips.

I don’t see it as replacing artists, I see it as amplifying artists.

I love sun stack but I really think they need a way to pool subscriptions or lower the cost.

I’m not going to spend $100/month to follow my ten favorite bloggers.

I have a theory that a large percentage of food cravings and idle snacking are due to being salt deficient and seeking out salty foods.

Perhaps part of the obesity epidemic is due to the vilification of salt?

I don’t quite get how that’s useful.

Could Hall effect be used to accelerate ions fast enough to fuse? Could this be another Avenue to achieving break even fusion?

Also Could nitrogen be a passable Hall effect thruster fuel?

I envision refilling propellant by the craft dipping into the upper atmosphere and scooping up some air.

Have we given up on the vasmir thrusters? Did Hall effect win out? Why is that?

Thanks! Could super conductors help increase efficiency or density? Why or why not?

Could this be a viable space to launch a start up? With launch costs coming down there could be a lot of demand for more efficient thrusters.

AMA? How much can these thrusters be scaled up? Or does it make more sense to stick more smaller ones on a craft if we need more thrust?

Bonus question: how would you design a planet scale thruster? (Asking for a friend)

Say why can’t we make a small scale circular particle accelerators and push ions out with that? Would that be more or less efficient?

Is anyone working on making Python work with it? That would be amazing.

Is Godot out of the question? Is it mostly a performance thing?

The problem is a 300 mile range isn’t a true 300 miles. There’s losses for temperature, running the heater, battery reserve, etc.

I see 300 possibly being sufficient but I’d want the advertised range to be 400 to make sure I reliably get that.

I thought you could always search comments. What am I missing?

> I think about Twitter occasionally and I'm always amazed that the company has thousands of employees.

Once a company gets big enough, 95% of an employees job is navigating the bureaucracy. So the head count goes way up.

> We've never had a situation where fake news can and does spread the way it does today, where authorities are being undermined like this and casually dismissed by people with no knowledge of the respective fields, etc.

If authorities were never “undermined” you would still be drinking cocaine, giving your kids cough syrup laced with heroin, spraying people with DDT, and also smoking the cigarette brand your doctor recommended.

> ..the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth produced by its collision with error.

We could drastically shrink coal, and nuclear power plants if we can do away with the steam turbine portion.

I could be wrong. If you give it bad data then it could still overfit.

But if all your data is good There’s no training step per se. And it just keeps improving with more data.

I believe it also makes overtraining impossible which is pretty strange for a learning algorithm.

You could wire them up in serial to increase the voltage.

A local restaurant just got rid of their paper menus because it was too expensive to reprint every time they wanted to raise prices …

Why are we assuming it couldnt course correct?

Does this imply we will run out of data to keep up with larger model sizes?

Is there much more data out there than what they’re already using?

Cool idea. Devs need something like this for sure.
