Somehow humans ended up with the biological equivalent of all of that. The more I learn about AI the less likely it seems to me that we could have developed the biological equivalent of all of the characteristics described in Ming’s summary by chance.

It seems more likely to me that we were designed, rather than chance creating us.

🚨 EPIC! Trump’s soon-to-be head of NASA Jared @RookIsaacman, Sen. @TimSheehyMT, and Retired Army Ranger @JarikoDenman just set the WORLD RECORD for the largest flag flown in freefall, bringing the record back to AMERICA 🇺🇸

This American flag is a whopping 3,200SF, and to make the record even MORE patriotic, the team jumped out of a Vietnam-era Huey from 10,000 feet.

Right in time for the start of America’s 250th birthday!

The previous record was set just WEEKS ago in Libya, prompting Jariko, who’s served in 15 combat deployments, called Jared up knowing they had to bring the record home.

And so they assembled a rockstar team, and made it happen just weeks later, on December 7th—Pearl Harbor Day

So freaking badass 🔥

You’re just being obstinate if you can’t see any risks associated with gullible FSD. It must be able to read the context of the situation.

Additionally, FSD will eventually be faced with the dilemma of whether to protect the individual in the car or the individual in another car or possibly even a pedestrian. If there is a guy standing in the middle of the road with a shotgun aimed at you, does FSD drive off a bridge to keep from running that guy over or does FSD run the guy over thereby increasing the odds of survival of the person in the car?

There are a million crazy situations like that. Humans might not always get them right either but eventually FSD is going to have to make some crazy judgement calls and I don’t expect it to be as good as a human for a long long time.

@TroyJangula @CRNAfarmer2 @NorthStarAg2 This. Way too many people giving advice based on an experience they had where the grain was cold going in. If the grain is warm going in, watch out.

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

A good bagging operation is less than $0.12/bushel annually. This is less than the annual opportunity cost on a bin. Not to mention in many places there is no property taxes on bags and bagging equipment but there is on bins.

Much less labor on bags too due to not trucking it twice.

This would decimate your bin argument if that was all there was to it. But it’s not. Your harvest window of opportunity is very narrow with a grain bag. If you put it in too wet and too warm, it spoils quickly because there is no aeration.

Bins allow you to start much earlier which is worth a lot.

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

@JHillfarming @agwithemma Keep track of grain temps going in. Look at charts to see how long grain will last without aeration at your moisture and temp.

At 18% if grain temp is 50° F you should really only keep it in there about a month.

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

I budget $0.12 per bushel total for:

1. The cost of the bag
2. The cost of putting it in the bag
3. The cost of taking it out of the bag.

Back of the napkin calculations tell me I’m well under $0.10 per bushel for all of that but back of the napkin calculations often miss some stuff so the $0.12 gives me some margin.

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

All depends on grain temp. You can’t put air on it so if it goes in at 30° F during a cold time of the year you can probably safely store it for 2 to 4 months (depending on when it warms up) even if it’s 30% moisture.

If it goes in at 100° of temp and it’s 16% moisture, you probably need to have it out of there in a couple of weeks.

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

@AR_Salyer @DefiantLs Exactly😂🤦🏻‍♂️

After voting for him (the lesser of two evils) twice, I wrote in “Mike Pence” the 3rd time. Trump bad. Kamala worse. Wasn’t voting for the lesser of two evils a 3rd time when he threw the VP under the bus with lies about the VP’s Constitutional authority to overturn elections. Thankful Mike Pence has a spine.

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

Please use the Constitution and its amendments as well as Electoral Count Act of 1887 to make your case that Mike Pence had the authority as Vice President to send the electoral ballets back and ask for the alternate slate of electors from given states. I’ll go make some popcorn while I wait.

@10Fishler01 @grok @RafaCrackYT @sciencegirl @elonmusk I’m surprised you somehow got grok to figure it out as well🤔

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

@10Fishler01 @grok @RafaCrackYT @sciencegirl @elonmusk That was fairly shocking that @grok thought the arrow next to the man on the right represented the man’s height. I knew grok was bad with imagines but that was pretty painful to watch. Wonder when grok’s ability to perceive images accurately will improve?

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

@kellan97616645 @CBKimbrell Yes, I think we are. Maybe not right now. But over the next 50 to 100 years? Yes.

“We already have more homeless than at any time in our nations history”

This is objectively false, almost by an order of magnitude when expressed as a percentage of the population.

It’s even false when expressed as a total number rather than a percentage of the population. Those facts actually aren’t good for my argument though.

All I know is ~80% of annual federal revenue is spent on interest for the federal debt as well as welfare type programs and it’s unsustainable.

Unsustainable to me means:

1. It’s impossible to cut enough in non-welfare areas of the federal budget to balance the budget when welfare areas + interest payments take 80% of federal revenue.

2. Excessive federal spending will eventually result in the USD no longer being the reserve currency and if that happens, the show is over in the USA. The entire population even the homeless will be many times worse off than they currently are.

[Daniel Leebrick @dpilot83]

Every socialist principle promises safety in exchange for freedom. Give an inch and they end up taking a mile.

In a libertarian world, 97 year old men don’t die on the streets because there are various charities that make sure things like that don’t happen. 97 year old men also don’t die on the street because compassionate individuals look at them and say, “that might be me someday. I’ll voluntarily lend a hand”.

This is a much more realistic world than the world you said you are looking for. You said you just knew the government could easily cut half the cost out of various welfare programs by eliminating at least some of the waste. That is the really unicorn utopia. The expectation that the government which can only steal from one group and give to another while taking their cut in the process can be efficient and fair.

The entire point of the libertarian perspective is that the government really isn’t capable of that. If the government had a chance of doing what you say it can, we would not be having this discussion. There would be no libertarians because government would be what it should be.

In the real world, that never happens. In the real world government promises safety and takes freedom. Then they butcher the safety part (on cost and possibly on safety as well). Government keeps doing this over and over a little at a time and eventually you have no prosperity, no safety and long before you lose prosperity and safety you have no freedom.

I am not saying charity should not exist. I’m simply saying charity is not something government should be involved in.
