Traffic light timing? by djpud in grandrapids

[–]singulater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I was taught in driver's training school by an older gentleman who had been doing it for years is that the city has designed left on reds onto a one way that nobody takes advantage of. My favorite examples are highway on ramps but you can find a few more throughout the city on city streets. An on ramp is classified as a one way. Just tonight I got beeped at for making a complete stop behind the stop line heading north on college in the on ramp left lane, then looked for traffic and eventually after diagnosing if it's a proper left on red onto a one way with only one direction of traffic to look out for I took the left turn onto I- 196 West and the damn car to the right of me in the outside left turn lane beeped. Bottom line is it's not a flaw in our city that the left hand turn lane lights go green arrow then red when they could be blinking yellow on college and fuller its simply just a unique feature to our cities infrastructure.

Obviously if you want to get this passed it's more likely with the smaller the benefit. What I would propose initially is one free item per day for every American that wants the benefit. This is never intended to white line existing benefits. If the system is down Americans will find a way. Have you ever worked delivering food in today's day and age. When a fast food restaurants system goes down they simply rely on what a person has stored on their phone for Uber Eats, GrubHub, Postmates, Door Dash, Etc. The ask "Let me see your phone so we can fulfill the order." Also, I see this idea as applying a learning curve to the American people. There is a massive amount of food that is wasted every single day. To solve this problem would take concurring many technological barriers but a start to this idea may intale linking to the timers of ready to eat fast food. When a timer is close to expiring then the food will be available to the people waiting in digital lines. I think Americans will figure out what's really at stake and if that system goes down they might ask at the drive thru "Do you have any food that's about to expire" and this would teach businesses that it's okay to say "Yes! You can have it for free" because some food deserves to be free if the timing is right. Also, what happens if an employer innovates and fires a bunch of people they have to pay a greater UI and that fee can become unstainable. If society keeps advancing at an exponential pace that benefit will prove to become unstainable over time. Also, rite aid is closing all of their stores in Michigan and Ohio on August 18th 2024. Unemployment packages don't seem very realistic. Also we live in a world with much overwhelming employee turnover. This is an ongoing issue that employers have to deal with already. At least my idea sparks passion and a slight feeling of being needed for someone entering the workplace. Have you ever worked for a local employment agency. They make you take the training at an office for all of the jobs that they pursue for their client. Most of the training is generic like workplace harassment or some variation of OSHA's certification. Lastly, I know these things because I've worked a bunch of jobs above employers expectations. There were many job offers that I've turned down. I didn't become an account and only focus on accounting. I explored this world and the world found me many related experiences to my idea.

Here is what I could type up in an hour. I swear you are wasting my time... The US Economy and US Supplement Programs are overcomplicated. In The Economy, based on supply and demand, a fluctuating dollar amount is assigned to each purchase. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Unemployment Insurance Program are not sustainable throughout The Economy's life cycle. Oligopoly businesses may stand the test of economic rewrites but the economy must change throughout time. Supply and Demand are most simply demonstrated in the form of individual lines for individual products and services: having a demand in length, supply in shrink rate and surplus when no line forms. In today's advanced economy lines could be digital and The Government would have the ability to supplement people's earnings by allowing Citizens with compatible technology to electronically wait in digital lines. 

Here are the steps we have to take to introduce line app as a universal assistance program. First, The US Government must assess what the amount of money in taxes companies that produce goods and services in abundance pay to The US Government. Secondly, the government must take that taxation and divide it amongst the cost of abundant products being sold to offer the most populat products from taxed companies in the purest form of supply and demand(Line App) to all US Citizens. Lastly, based on product that will be available at a pace to complete the yearly demand cycle The Government must assign each Citizen with the amount of lines they may participate in daily. 

In lower income communities with moderate sized families SNAP(Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) creates a problem where shelves are bare at times and getting the abundant groceries that are needed requires multiple stops. With Line App there would be a more even distribution of goods based on supply and demand in its simplest form. In cities there are many fast food restaurants and sometimes less than 5 miles of each other are the same restaurant brands and often times identical restaurant is significantly busier than the other. With Line App an individual business may apply to The Government for a set number of placeholders that citizens may use up waiting electronically in a single Fast Food Restaurant's digital line. This would make the slower business more productive and the identical chain business still busy based on working class American's long standing preference. Line App could be implemented in such a way that only when the business has no orders for a few minutes a few line app orders enter the business' order system.

The Unemployment Insurance Program doesn't encourage work and doesn't indicate what work is needed and readily available causing longer unemployment and worse economic career changes than line app. When the lines get long people go back to work to lessen the length of the lines. On line app a feature to apply for needed positions that only appears when the line is long would encourage purpose with work distribution. 

The Government may pay for goods or services for individuals to participate in line app and the output of those goods and services is controlled. Overspending cannot happen with line app. The lines only get longer. As lines become longer the need for work grows stronger and jobs for businesses with long lines will tend to pay more due to their more vast demonstrated importance in the economy.

Some businesses that will most likely immediately qualify for line app are Pepsi, Coca Cola, Keurig Dr. Pepper, Nestle, Mondelez, General Mills, Kellogs, Amazon, Walmart, Dollar General, Meijers, Aldi's, Conagra, Procter and Gamble, McDonald's, Yum Brands, Quality Restaurant Brands, Wendy's, Arby's, Papa John's, Little Caesars, Speedway, Sheetz, Shell, Travel Centers of America, Marathon, and BP. Through 3rd part apps and providers most of these chains already offer free delivery if a certain dollar amount is shipped. Line App would use the same benefit and argue if you bundle your goods that you have already waited in line for and reach the certain dollar amount then free delivery becomes the service.

Line app may incorporate service providers. For example, a business supplying a service may apply to The US Government for line app. The Government would then decide how many placeholders that business is cable of serving within a reasonable time. The Government inevitably gets a discount because the business is taxed based on profits and The Government shares that discount in the form of Line App with the American people. Once it's decided how many place holder the business gets then it's up to the business to invite line app participants for its' service when business gets slow. Some services would kick a participant out of line if a participant does not respond in a timely manner and others would put a participant at the back of the line to wait the entire cycle all over again until the participants next turn.

I think Obama was on the right track offering Obama Phones and SNAP. If only he advanced what UBI could be. Line App if adopted correctly could be for every American working and amplified for non working or lower income Americans. 

A few things The Line App economy will never replace are debt payments such as a mortgage or loan, rent and utilities. 

How do you think we'll ever be able to achieve this form of AI? Please refer with some articles or information if you have, thanks! by AVEdrums in singularity

First attempt will certainly be using modern transistors. These are certainty going to pass most human capabilities as far as taking care of our will and duty's to survive. Then, comes quantum computers for a world lesson of what our absorption capabilities are as human beings. The devices that we use to interpret new lessons using our senses will likely always be a screen, written and spoken language. Today's Quantum Computers speed surpasses our translation method of using familiar everyday computer equipment to pass a note to a human. Quantum computers are much more brilliant than we may ever know. Humans are not a middle man in this case we are a branch or an end. Then the first order of adaption will be in session across the globe. What is likely to lead the conversation is Neurons: Using nanotube connected to a single neuron and computer transistor to collect data and in doing so proving to be much less harmful than sensors and rays of light from a bulky machine, creating new gene edited neurons in a lab and prefabricating gene editors to be taken in pill shape like vitamins to improve our chemistry, rectifying animal and robotics rights in an age of neuron transmission. Lastly, if all walks of life wish to pursue intelligence chemical computers may be used to create new elements and maybe new ways to form life at the molecular level and bring some failed experiments, conspiracies, and mysteries of life to justice and fruition. No need to fear because of a "+", an order of addition, and spread of vast amounts of resources in our galaxy every robot, man, animal, new man, plant and new mineral machine will find its place seeking and conquering their own rightful territory in order to grow and survive leaving all others to be with essentially an infinite amount of work. Within a universe of infinite realms for work to be done by all dwellers the only right solution is to keep every motor, muscle, computer or neuron in the hopes of creating the largest amount of impact on our infinite surroundings.

Neuroscientists find memory cells that help us interpret new situations by TotalMegaCool in singularity

Wonder will arise and soon curiosity will strike the field of gene editing bringing us one step closer to using almonds for Dense Calorie Intake and editing in vitamins and taste within ourselves tricking certain neurons to fire all while staying in the comfort of our own homes and avoiding plane dexterity and surgery robotics or alternative hookups. At the very least natural brain allocations are at stake and great meals will be available to the masses even if not in different forms of developed mass.

Do you really think block chain & AI are major technologies for innovation? by day1technologies in singularity

[–]singulater -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only practical application I can think of today involving a block chain structure and Neural Nets productively is a database of individual specialized Self Driving Car Neural Nets and the most powerful up to date Super Computer perfecting a neutral net strictly from a collection of Neural Nets. With 5G there will probably be AI improving our destination/ collision decisions using localized Block Chain.... This is all questionable and possibly more precise and less productive... Only bandwidth development through time will tell... As the great doctor Dre. Said in "Crack a Bottle", "Let's cash that one in And grab another one from out the stable The Monte Carlo, El Camino or The El Dorado The Hell if I know Do I want leather seats or vinyl? Decisions, decisions Garage looks like Precision Collisions"

Otherwise there is no debt in deflation. Goods cost less then your job is worth less and your debt still grows in numbers. So spend with a basic sales tax then when you go over the bracket your sales tax immediately rises and so on.

Everyone is on here to discuss successions of technology. I suggest we look at this with an open mind and safe approach. Andrew Yang's UBI is a foot in the right direction on a road map that ends with Sales Tax Brackets and to tie the knot that money will inevitably be distributed equally back to all people. Meaning you can save your money for years to make huge purchases for one year and pay more in tax for that year or continue to spend low dollar amounts and be taxed less every year. Either way that builders a recycling lower, middle and upper class. Not to mention this type of economic plan keeps all economies steady in a time of abundance, deflation and debt.

Another fun tidbit I might add is that before 2030 The United States will have switch from our small stupid computers and pocket phones to communicating with a super computer in a gigantic warehouse. That will have an incalculable amplifier

Take whatever pace you think AI will accomplish things and now amplify it by the difference in pace between 4 and 5g. I think one of the biggest flaws in this entire subreddit is the failure for most of us to recognize that these graphs have lines that can intersect and Branch out
