A bus or train greatly increases commute time due to having to walk or switch buses. Not to mention the viruses and disease vector. That is wasted time, and comes at a price for the economy. So no thanks.

What do you mean it's "overrun" with Waymo? What actual problems are it causing other than triggering you because it's autonomous? There are plenty of Waymo vehicles in San Francisco and it's more popular than Lyft. Obviously the citizens love it now.

First off, I am against Musk's politics. I think he's overly judgmental, biased, and way too quick to lose empathy. I believe in making things like universal healthcare happen as a priority, whereas he doesn't. And in fact have been stating that. Slashdot wont let me search through comment my comment history .. but here's a few proofs:

That said, I do like Musk's companies .. and I've been vocal about that. I do share certain beliefs of Musk's in the realm of technology, enterprise, and life being multi-planetary.

Btw, as I think about it .. I haven't seen Musk be racist against Indians. He has three kids with a woman that is 50% Indian. The lead of full self driving, (who also was the first AI specialist he hired into Tesla), is Indian. He's strongly advocated retaining H1B.

Btw .. what do you mean "you saw me on mask" .. I don't even know what that is. I'm only mainly active on slashdot, I try other social media sites but I don't think I posted about this there. And nobody's paying me. I mean, I wish they would though. Would gladly post any BS for a fee.

Uh, I am not the racist. You are. You've been strongly against H1B and immigration -- that's fueled by racism. The Indian cultural problem of normalizing low hygiene is a very real problem with consequences. I posted it to hope it gets corrected. Not all Indians are accepting of it, but many are because they grew up with it as it slowly got introduced. India in the past used to be very clean, they had more advanced sanitation than most of the world. After high population growth and low finances 1. the waters started getting polluted 2. people urbanized in places not accessible to high water supply 3. frequent hand washing reduced as people started working 4. there was low regulation of street vendors 5. various vermin and flies started being present in household 5. slowly people started to accept strangers handling their food in unsanitary conditions.

How about making an AI that teaches food handlers how to use utensils instead of touching food with their hands?

India is by far the world's most unhygienic country: Reference: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fourworldindata.org%2Fgra...

I was wondering how Buzz Aldrin beat me at chess.

I would like to see the Anokion tech succeed, because it would be broadly applicable. It will be interesting to see which comes to market first .. tolerizing vaccines, or encapsulated beta cells.

How can that happen? The button to activate the voice command is on the steering. You can't activate it with a wake word. I suppose on some cars there may be a wake word to activate it, I'm sure it can be disabled.

Huh? How would voice commands interfere? You just press a button to activate it.

Just use voice commands.

Using the patient's immune cells won't work. They got diabetes because their immune system destroyed its own cells. The clearest viable path is a technology called encapsulated beta cells. See my other comment for references.

How are you controlling your diabetes? Are you able to control it, do you use an artificial pancreas? If so how is that working out? Be wary that one of the participants in the study died of cryptococcal meningitis which affects immunocompromised people.

Here are a couple of references about encapsulated beta cells tech that I mentioned:

A readable article that describes the technology in detail: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fadvanced.onlinelibrary...

Here's a couple articles about a couple of the companies (there are about 7, outside of academia) working on development and testing (which takes about a year or two per iteration to watch for failure etc.) of encapsulated beta cell technology:

Major company: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpharmaphorum.com%2Fnews%2F...

Startup: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pharmavoice.com%2Fne...

Encapsulated beta cells. No immunosuppressants needed. Immunosuppressants for life may be worse than diabetes because there are already good "artificial pancreas" systems (continuous glucose monitoring with a Dexcom G7 + a Tandem Insulin pump). The full solution though will be encapsulated beta cells.
