@JDG_1980@BuildAmericanAI Under Washington State law, the collected tax can increase by only 1%, plus new construction, remodeling, etc. Increases over 1% require voter approval. So if all the properties go up in value the rate goes down to compensate.
@photoncmndr Well done. This is happening many thousands of times across the world. There will be duds, and flameouts. But some will hit the innovation jackpot. Deep domain expertise coupled with the right tools is magic.
@emm0sh We had quite a bit of automation built up over the last decade, but I expect to double that over the next few months. I also expect to see increased demand for our 3D sensors, because they are now usable with having extensive 3D geometry programming knowledge.
@iScienceLuvr On the other hand if they can do what doctors and researchers do at a much lower cost, we can do much more of those things. This in itself could be a big benefit to human health and well being.
@patrickc The first version I saw of this was to flip the second part of the knot, but I found it very difficult to fight my muscle memory. Later, I learned that it is the relative handedness, and it was much easier to flip the first part.
@samsoniuk Software builds on more formal abstractions that rest on solid mathematical foundations. You can ignore many details. Hardware has very leaky abstractions built to tame an unruly nature, where often the details matter. What details matter and how is a key matter for a datasheet.
Inequality would be a sign that AI skills and ideas are of enormous value. It incentivizes workers to gain those skills and investors to invest in those ideas. As AI skills become less rare, the wage premium declines. Over time, robust competition amongst AI firms will keep valuations in check.
@rohindhar If they were not, the cost of taxes would be passed on to renters, who are already paying with after tax money. It would effectively double tax renters.
@kevin2kelly I talked with someone who designs hospital operating rooms and they did the same thing with styrofoam blocks. Then the surgeons would perform mock surgaries, and provide feedback on the layout.
@FidelisLobo@AssaadRazzouk@grok I wonder how much of that is because in net exporter counties, the fossil fuel industry’s political power is used to slow EV adoption, vs they have lower gas prices.
