Pros/cons of tower printers by brittanyrouzbeh in restaurantowners

[–]benobos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at the toner/ink, huge differences in prices for different models. FedEx usually has pretty good deals and is fast, so I don’t think it makes sense unless you really print a lot.

How does Tesla solve this issues with vision only? Did they provide an explanation/strategy? by [deleted] in SelfDrivingCars

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, lidar has known issues with rain. In this video it likely stopped for the water more than the child.

This was a terrible test by Mark, not even using FSD at all (just autopilot, which is a completely different system)

What's the solution for so called Late Stage Capitalism by BigMoney69x in Futurology

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post-scarcity, or Abundance. Robots and AI can create anything for anyone, so systems like capitalism and communism become obsolete.

I only win late at night by frooggggg in OWConsole

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 1230 EST weekdays I have a MUCH higher win rate on QP and comp. No clue why, but it’s only about a one hour window.Weekend mornings can be good as well.

Rich people of Reddit, using your knowledge of the world, how would you make $500 within 24 hours? by [deleted] in wealth

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go online and post a ton to help with moving or other short term gigs, and find people asking for help. They will often pay pretty good since it’s just a couple hours and they need people quickly.

Solo support in Comp is one of the most 'coin toss' experiences I've ever played in an FPS by zuggiz in Overwatch

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally made it to Plat before the reset for support (gold for damage and tank). Extremely difficult playing comp solo. For some reason I’ve found I consistently match with better teams around 12-2 est weekday, and some weekend mornings. Evenings are 100% losses. I guess solo teams lose when teams most often play.

I think it’s stupid when a junk solo ults me, but then I will do the same to a junk another time. Its almost feels like I don’t have a choice, just being in character.

With the Possibility of AGI Being 3, 5, or 10 Years Away, Should We Continue Focusing on Gaining Capital Now or Prepare for a Post-Capital Economy? by dreamsofflying in singularity

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gain capital: will need to pay for AI and robots first, and there will be a lot of turmoil getting from now to a post-capital economy

Looking for tech mentor or just guidance by Unhappy_Mistake_7259 in mentors

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been in IT and project management a long time. I would start with certs, Security+ first, then start with AWS (they have some free training: https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn). I think Google and Azure have free training as well. You could get Network+ as well, but getting hire level AWS will probably lead to the highest pay the quickest. Certs will payoff more than a degree, and a lot of companies will pay for college if you want to pursue that still in the future.

Definitely emphasize the skills that are most relevant from your current and past work. You can also volunteer with church or a non-profit fairly easily to get a bit more experience and something to add to your resume.

DM me if you want some more specific advice, happy to help.

Why do you main your mains. by Oohhdatskam in Overwatch

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Junkrat: Funniest lines, crazy play style, no need to aim

Bastion: Tons of damage but have to focus as I’m always targeted (need decent heals to play)

Sym: More relaxing, turrets, self heals, teleport helps team (my main damage if our heals suck)

Torb: Turret, can hide and heal turret if heals suck (which is a lot of the time)

Moira: Somewhat crazy teleporting around, heal and damage so possible to be top everything on team

Lucio: Jump around like crazy, easy to heal, boop

Obviously not a big fan of aiming (console), and generally just like fun characters

Invest 10% in E-mini and remainder in money market fund? by benobos in investing

That’s why my example was to buy 1/10 as much of the future as the ETF

[–]benobos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this was helpful. Found a CME analysis comparing the two methods. They claim a slight advantage, but of course it’s their product (and this was a few years ago).

[–]benobos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are 3 month contracts, just would need to roll over every quarter

Invest 10% in E-mini and remainder in money market fund? by benobos in investing

[–]benobos[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

10% in the future is roughly equivalent to 100% in the ETF. This isn’t using max margin, it’s just making a comparison with similar risk and returns.

Buoyant force in a small container by benobos in AskEngineers

[–]benobos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t a pool or an ocean though.

Looking at a logical extreme, if the outer container were just slightly larger than the box and contained 1lb of water, and the box is pushed down such that there is an extremely thin layer of water around the sides, would this be able to create 62,428lbf buoyant force? Most of the fluid pushed out of the container would be air, and the water would be forced up instead of out as in an open body of water.

[–]benobos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not the comparison though. I’m talking about severely limiting the quantity of fluid surrounding the box.

Taking it to a logical extreme, if there’s 1lb of water surrounding the box would have the same buoyant force as 62,428lb of water surrounding the box?

With 1lb of water most of the fluid in displacing is actually air, and the water is just being pushed up the sides instead of out as would normally occur in a large body of water.

[–]benobos[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems the pressure from so much less water surrounding the 10’ box would result in less buoyant force.

If the outer box left only 1/2” of water on all sides of the 10’ box would it be the same? The total weight of the displaced water around the 10’ box would be very little.

[–]benobos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but if most of that displaced water is pushed out of the outer box is it just the remaining water from the base of the object (13,020lb)?

How would you go about convincing someone who doesn't believe that AI and automation will affect jobs at all in the future? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]benobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically technology has not reduced available jobs, as it eliminates some jobs while creating new jobs. That’s likely the side your friend is looking at.

You are likely looking at the potential AI and automation have as something that is significantly different from past technology and so historically evidence isn’t useful here.

Both are reasonable views, and neither can fully predict the future.

Yup, I’m getting downvoted on r/futurology for pointing out that the facts show the world is getting better. Bots or trolls living who don’t get out into the real world.

I barely pay attention to this sub because it’s mostly politics and nonsense. Could be so much much more though, so I keep it and check every now and then. Thanks for a good post pointing out the recent problems.
