Wealthy individuals and their children are probably more likely to have social connections to others with capital who are willing to assist them as well.

A raspberry pi 4 kit with 2GB of RAM can be as low as $60 now!! Tinkering with computers can be inexpensive. For those who want it, there is a cornucopia of tinker-able machines out there. Many smart phones have terminal apps you can download. There are also a lot of websites out there that’ll let you do something akin to tinkering.

It seems to me that, in many cases, it’s a matter of getting people’s attention or interest in tinkering with their computers than access to tinker-able machines.

In the short term, shelves will probably take some time to be adequately restocked from all the panic buying.

Grocery supply chains are good, but if people are continuing to panic buy things, then it will be difficult for the grocers to keep their shelves full. Also, if grocery store workers start to become sick en masse, then it might become more difficult for the grocery stores to stock shelves.

They’re not wrong. Software does fill in many gaps for photographers. Photoshop is a great example of this.

Amateur astrophotography is a good example of where software is utilized to fill in gaps in the hardware all of the time. Color correction and focus stacking are often done in software, star tracking mounts are using software, and so on.

First, I’d like to say I really like this project, particularly how it takes the focus away from high frequency posters to active individuals.

A possible feature that I would want to see is to be able to have a single tab that would allow for filtering based on the platform, tag, individual, etc.

Maybe it would be more appropriate to say that Zuck is an instance of the CEO/Tech Billionaire/Governing Body/Corporation/PotentialAIMaster object.

If you are low income, and need to get to school but have no other way to go than to drive, what else should you do?

It seems like you are suggesting that some people have other choices than driving. There are a lot of colleges with no accessible public transportation infrastructure.

Many people don’t have the financial means to do anything else, especially when there isn’t the public transportation infrastructure to support them.

What if the work needed is the work human beings want to focus on because it’s meaningful to them?

When you have AIs that can do arbitrary work that humans can do, what prevents other humans from simply cutting out the humans that want to do that work for AI?

I’ve been working from home on Fridays at my current job for awhile now. I’m finding I’m vastly more productive on the days I work from home. That might be because I don’t have to commute, people aren’t bothering me, or whatever.

Even if they are still working the 5th day from home, it’s still a better trade off than having to be in the office 5 days per week.

That being said, 4 day work weeks would be great and I’m sure people would be just as productive, if not more so, as they are now.

It would be interesting to see if there are any meta reports on people doing research on the topic of resource constrained AI. Has anyone explored whether or not an AI can improve on its own algorithm while being heavily resource constrained?

Is the ability to use less resources a limit of our current hardware? Do we see the current hardware performance improvement trajectory being able to reduce the amount of resources an AI consumes to perform a task?

Are our algorithms simply not tuned well for using smaller resources? Could we build better algorithms around resource deficient environments?

I love this idea and I really appreciate you sharing it!

I swear, one of my largest struggles with writing is finding exactly what to put on the page, as well as putting it on the page in the first place.

Sometimes I write a lot of words, rewrite them, don’t like them and then delete them because I don’t think they’re worth saying or they can’t establish the point well enough for me to feel like they are worth keeping.

Perhaps I should simply put them in an archive instead to come back to later and see if I can refine them.

I want to write code but my progress has really slowed.

It’s kind of a mess without written tests.

I’ll just do my best and implement the rest.

If we are just looking at whether it could be 3D printed, I think the answer is that eventually anything could be 3D printed.

The sequels are as excellent as the first in the series, so if you read the first and really like it, read the others too.

I think the amount of tax one contributes would be dependent on how much income one makes. I might contribute 4% where another might contribute 10%.

Besides, I already pay for health insurance and deductibles. So if I don’t have to pay for those but instead have a tax, and I’m covered when I don’t have an employer? Yes, sign me up.

This is one of the reasons I want universal health care in my country. I should be able to get the health care I need from my government for a reasonable cost regardless of my employment situation. I don’t want to have to sacrifice my retirement plans because of my inability to pay for health care.

Since neonics have a half-life of ~30 days when exposed to sunlight (unclear if that’s continuous exposure or what), it could be that we see some statistically significant improvements sooner than the 1000 days.
