Agree with the car pooling and climate change points which would possibly make it a good idea anyway. | |

Ate there any examples of large scale private roads? Not the odd one that you pay to use, but an entire network with no free option? | |

Ong you of course realize that all of the current problems with the transportation network are because of peak time congestion and overuse of the roads? How would your free transportation for all go about mitigating these issues? | |

It's not that simple for employers to just change working hours. There'd be huge costs involved. Not to. Mention the fact that people have planned their lives around traditional working hours and that would have to be changed completely. | |

I admit that I felt that the transport truck argument was weak as I was typing it. It would provide slightly more incentive for them to avoid rush hour though. Basically my point is that rush hour as it currently exists would be impossible with peak load pricing. With that level of congestion, tolls could be >$100. We already see an analogue to this with Uber pricing. This doesn't mean that people would regularly have to pay 100 bucks to use a road, it just means that roads would almost never be that congested. Which is a good thing. | |

I mean I'm working on the assumption that more busses means less cars, assuming people are actually using the bus. If it's free, then they will. | |

Bumping this post since there was a thread on reddit about it this morning. Apparently this was created by Google's Image recognition AI. Google set up a feedback loop of the software and this allows you to see what the software is seeing. In the article they are saying since it's a neural network the way it reads an image is something it does on its own rather than following explicit instructions. These images allow the programmers to actually see what the AI is focusing on and ignoring. | |

This is what AI is about - learning more about our I. Not this misguided nonsense that an AI will learn to dominate the world, because that's what we did with our I. | |

And I'll play devil's advocate on 'support your firefighters". You probably need a higher mortality rate and greater personal sacrifice while matching the historic public service of a trooper to expect people to be buying firemen drinks and thanking them for their service. | |

Also, I'll admit that the only people in any kind of armed service that I've met were nice and good people...whom I respect. I don't think any of them walk on water though. | |
