Are there any clones of reddit out there that have a reasonable level of popularity?

Is Digg.com still around? This is a joke as back in the day reddit was the small fish.

This is so much money with which we could actually solve problems in the world. maybe even stop wars which break out because of scarcity issues.

maybe i am getting to old or to friendly to humans, but it's staggering to me how the priorities are for such things.

Won't an intelligent agent available to everyone be able to solve problems in the world? Isn't that why they (OpenAI) and others are doing what they do? To bring abundance?

This is very interesting and I'm happy to see this. It's probably not relevant but i'm remembering reaching out 20+ years ago for a license to use in a Darpa GC team and getting a quote for 16K which made it unavailable for our make shift team but I have a tremendous amount of respect for the company and their work to build QNX. I will probably be looking into this for something in the future.

I wonder which markets these risc-v processors will target. I have a 64 core Milk-V computer i'm testing compatibility with a Java application on. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

We are building kit cars and plan to develop a car we can homologate. The usability of controls are something we have been thinking about for a while. It's interesting that a user operation manual is required from manufacturers here in Canada but i'm not sure how frequently new car buyers familiarize themselves with the operation. The people I speak with want physical controls without touch screens. One thing the article mentions is that customers are bringing their vehicles back to dealerships i'm not sure if this is to return them or not.

What year is it? I'm surprised they haven't fixed the title.

Agreed. The videos is actually relaxing to watch as he's flying over orchards and ravines and their "work" destination happens to exist in the same plush green continuum as the rest of the flight. This work destination also conveniently has an isolated ground level helipad.

I would also be curious to know what the noise is like. You couldn't tell with the music playing. I wonder if that's intentional. I looked for the db/noise rating in the specs on their site but it wasn't listed. I imagine if you lived in that serene country setting and someone was buzzing your property in their Jetson hoverbike you wouldn't be too thrilled.

Depending on where you live flying a vehicle like this will require that you maintain a certain distance from people (500 feet in Canada), which would do something for noise at least. Thats probably why the flight is in the country side actually, they probably are not allowed near a city.

Not that it particularly matters but both "house" and "work" appear to be isolated villa's in the country somewhere (definitely not in Sweden) probably in central Italy (from the trees and general landscape I would venture to say Tuscany/Umbria/Lazio).

I mean, the flight video is nice, but this "commute" seems to me very unlike what most people experience daily.

armaautomotive · 3 years ago
My thought on most people not having this commute is specifically because we don't currently have fling cars/vehicles like this.

I hear Elon Musk made a quote something about nobody wants flying craft all over their heads, but thats the point of the flying craft. Most people live near high density centres because transportation on land dictates but if we could go up we could have more greenery and spread out a little.

2 cents
