I hate to be that guy, but...
This isn't a flamethrower. Its a nicely packaged but overpriced medium size propane torch.
I use a more powerful one to weed my gravel driveway. It cost about $60:

It runs off a BBQ propane tank.
A military flamethrower squirts a burning liquid a considerable range, which can bring fire into fortifications, and stick to its targets while burning.

Stuart Russell is a coauthor of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach. Maybe you've heard of it? It's basically the standard AI textbook. Bart Selman is also a hotshot AI researcher. And Demis Hassibis leads the team that created AlphaGo.
I think an accurate way to describe the panel would be: a mix of leading AI researchers, philosophers, and tech entrepreneurs.
cool. at first glance I thought it was sports tape or something like that
Does he remind you of someone or a certain group of people that didn't treat you well in life or something? Or does he bring up repressed memories? I don't see any other reason why someone would feel so much hate for someone that doesn't even know of your existence. lol Jeez.
Oh yeah, you might not like him (which is totally fine) but discrediting his talent and his impact on the rap community is just wrong. A lot of people seem to agree with me. (#1 is a Kanye album and #2 is fully produced by him, he's also on #2 of the Top 2010s right now)
Peter Thiel, he founded PayPal which merged in 2000 with Musk's X.com. Thiel was also an early investor in Tesla and SpaceX and the first outside investor of Facebook. He is chairman and founder of Palantir Technologies and was a founder of a venture fund called Founders Fund. I highly recommend his book Zero to One.
Open source is the solution to AI, or at least the last best hope. Elon has already done more than anyone, everyone else is hiring for private projects as fast as they can, literally blowing billions of dollars on rock star programmers.
Shit's going so fast most people are two steps behind and falling away faster and faster. I can't tell you how many times people say "if X happens" when it happened months or years ago, just to have them move goal posts to "well if Y happens then", and your like mother fucker AI can paint your ass like a Picaso, there are literally apps for that, check your app store. And that was last year.

Or DYI.
It all depends on how much energy you get back for a given size of turbine, how much extra drag the mechanism creates and whether the gains add up to anything that would offset the cost of the extra hardware over a reasonable time period.
Because of all that, it's kind of meaningless without talking about specifics, so you'd probably have to design, model and test it in something that can simulate fluid dynamics. Free software like Blender might be able to simulate it as a basic proof of concept, but to know for sure, you'd likely have to use a proper software package dedicated to that kind of thing.
I don't think the problem is mostly with speed, If you want to understand something, in case of reading you can stop, think about it if you didn't get it for the first time, if you are listening to it on audio book, most of the times you just wont't stop, and if you fall behind you're screwed.
I tried listening to Thinking, Fast and Slow — By Daniel Kahneman, let's just say I wasn't thinking fast enough.
I read Michio Kaku, Freeman Dyson, Richard Feynman and Sam Kean.
I'm sure most people here would know, but Musk recommended some really good books: Superintelligence, Zero to One, Einstein, Ben Franklin, Howard Hughes, Ignition, Structures, Hitchhikers Guide, Isaac Asimov.

His own biography
“While Musk had exceled as a self-taught coder, his skills weren’t nearly as polished as those of the new hires. They took one look at Zip2’s code and began rewriting the vast majority of the software. Musk bristled at some of their changes, but the computer scientists needed just a fraction of the lines of code that Musk used to get their jobs done. They had a knack for dividing software projects into chunks that could be altered and refined whereas Musk fell into the classic self-taught coder trap of writing what developers call hairballs—big, monolithic hunks of code that could go berserk for mysterious reasons.”

So no, you don't know what 1930s germany looked like.
Read a book. Might I suggest "In the Garden of Beasts"? I'll buy it for you if you'll read it.
That does not surprise me, the physics mixed in with the humour would appeal. He would like Douglas Adams new biography https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/may/29/unseen-hitchikers-guide-new-douglas-adams-biography loads of new stuff missing chapters etc.
And you've made it to one of the biggest online Russian news portal - Meduza.
Untaxed gains due to not realizing them is a tax loophole. I don't see how explaining the loophole makes it anything but a loophole for the rich to exploit.
And, as a side note, Tesla pays almost no tax, and certainly lower tax rate than most Americans. https://finbox.com/NASDAQGS:TSLA/explorer/effect_tax_rate
Lol, just realised the answer to my question is the actual website you linked, great website, been after something like this for a while!
Naval's doesn't seem to be on here so for anyone interested: https://www.notion.so/Books-suggested-by-Naval-665b71b4e4014ab99a7a79e8de937702
If you haven't heard of his the JRE when he was on is a good start, incredibly intelligent and insightful guy who touches on wealth creation but his ideas are far reaching and you can implement them into many aspects of your life.
You might wanna try reading something at your intellectual level before trying to insult people.
Here I found a book you can start with, maybe in the future you can come up with real arguments
No, that's just not true. Even conservative projections have us continuing to grow well past 2050, and likely leveling off with around 11 billion sometime after that year, or closer to the year 2100.
Every data set I look at has the population growing, but most clearly show we are slowing down, and have been for a number of years.
Slowing down our reproductive rate is no where near your claim of stopping growth.
Elon should read Red Notice before putting a dollar (or doge) into Russia.
That's not how it works. Here.
There an app called Next Spaceflight - Rocket Launch and Schedule, which is great for all spaceflight launches throughout the world. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextspaceflight.android.nextspaceflight
we need to discuss plan between us and then with you, cause it's big question and a lot of work.
now i use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.studionoorderlicht.spacex to get notification about all Elon's tweets and replies too (Twitter's app doesn't do this, it only show direct tweets) - it's info if you need some code-lines for yourself
sorry late to thread but is it this?
Title is slightly different, I figured it''s what you meant but just wanna make sure in case there was another one out there.
The machine learning model. Remember that Cognicism, the actual authors claims are not shown to users. The ML outputs an aggregate view of a collective of people trying to find a common truth together. The idea of "centralized arbiters of truth" really doesn't have much legs in my mind.
There are many attempts at making a "scoring algorithm" for truth. We talk about most of them in the manifesto.
Truthcoin (now hivemind) is basically just a crypto based on prediction markets. Simpler but I think it can be corrupted. Metaculus also focuses on prediction and they concede that there are infinite scoring functions.
From my perspective, the key is ML model, and FourThought API which is a constraint on how truths are evaluated. You don't just rate true or false, you rate on a spectrum of 0% likely to be true to 100% likely.
The ML model is using the raw text of the thoughts as well as the collective score. It's always trying to predict itself what accounts are making the predictions (or statements) that end up being logged to the chain.
The models seem to favor accounts that fall into the basic constraints laid out in this book They use Brier scores for evaluation like Prediction Book. In their case they find that scorers that make more nuanced predictions, and update their scores more often are more accurate. The ML models are meant to learn similar patterns in accounts.
The models are constantly learning, and becoming more rich with knowledge over time, and resistant to corruption by trolls.
Early models with not a lot of training time and pretty dumb and susceptible.
I strongly urge anyone curious about what Elon Musk is specifically concerned about (as the specific dangers he's worried about are not yet being openly discussed in the press), to read the book Superintelligence, by Nick Bostrom.
Zero to One by Peter Thiel spent a portion praising how Tesla fits all his criteria of a successful startup. Also talked about Paypal history, so I feel Elon Musk read it to learn how his buddy talked about him more than learning from the book.
That's what those in the Transhumanist communities were trying to tell you guys! Only of course to be dismissed as druggie high science fiction woo-sters(or worse transexuals). Thus only Elon Musk, Ray Kurzweil, and Peter Thiel can tell the mainstream these things. Like how only Nixon can go to China. Also Read Peter Thiel's book "Zero to One".
Seriously. I feel like I'm arguing in an alternate dimension.
Hasn't that guy seen "who framed Roger rabbit"?
Oh no! Big transit is picking on the poor whittle car companies!
Anyways. It's awesome that Jarrett Walker, a man I've respected immensely for a decade, is now hugely popular and going on talkshows just because Elon called him an idiot.
His book is literally required reading in most planning and urban policy programs, and I would actually recommend it for any layman. It's wonderfully written.
If anyone can seriously and in good faith read Human Transit
And still argue the boring company is not a moronic waste of time for any public policy focused institution, I'd love to hear them.
Elon Musk is my role model. I am reading Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future
This has become my part of life. 1. Read book 2. Act towards my goal (Put thoughts into action) 3. Read book
Elon is changing my life. Hope the book helps! Good luck Sir.
