Curious what you mean by this. I know it's a sensitive topic but... the people who are really "far left" or "far right" definitely aren't what I would call "on the same side with one another" unless you mean "pawns/positioned against each other by the media they seek out to consume/think the worst of each other/are ultra radical"
The two party system is a farce. There is only one party and one media with opposing methodology to herd the masses into the end results the "ESTABLISHMENT" wants.
Either he has 0 self awareness, has gone complete senile , or he is at the top of cow dung pushers.I tend to think he is at top of the dung pushing business.
Maybe not bikes but small electric vehicles such as golf carts would be great.
Most wouldn't want to go to work all sweaty.
It amazes me that a lot of these green cities haven't incorporated a small golf cart lanes as most people work within a range of a golf cart distance to travel.
The cost would be a lot cheaper than a car, no need for insurance premiums(if so, very little) , and less maintenance than . Also could likely double the lane traffic within the equivalent car lanes.
The consumer would be more than willing to get on board using and buying golf carts just for the financial benefit of it.
Golf carts can provide rain and sun protection and can also allow for people to drive their kids to school and other activities as well.
Not saying that ebikes are bad but it would also be more appealing for the masses to embrace golf carts over bikes as a replacement for their vehicles.
Unfortunately the majority are to easily distracted and manipulated to concentrate on all the WRONG issues.That goes for both parties.
The CORRECT ISSUE and primary issue we need to be focused on is conflict of interest.
It makes no sense to try to get a group of people such as congress that have conflict of interest to fix the problems they created and are benefiting from , hence the result of the Princeton study.
The sad part is that BOTH individual republicans and democrats should want to reduce conflict of interest as it benefits both sides and everyone in general. However BOTH party are too successful in keeping them fighting with each other , blaming each other, and chasing their tails trying to fix the issues with the people that created them.
when it becomes damage versus expected usage would be a good line just like hotels have been doing centuries.
basic cleaning services such as cleaning linens,dishes,furniture,light dusting, basic floor sweeping ,etc.
you destroy the property or require excessive cleaning because you had a party with excessive dirtiness like spilled drinks on walls , linens thrown all over the place and stained, etc. then include an abusive charge.
FWIW I see it the same and have had the same experience.
The tech is there now to be utilized as an assistant. However as the end user you better have enough knowledge to understand the solution or answer it spits at you to fact check it.
The biggest danger I see is utilizing the tool for solutions or answers by novices that don't understand enough to grasp the solution and confirm if in fact the answer it gives is correct or appropriate.
Simplistic example:
A non techie manager trying to have it create sql queries to get the information they are asking for , is asking for trouble. However in the hands of a sql developer it could provide enough of the query build out to just require minimal tweaks.
Just yesterday I was playing with chatgpt and found an error between the code it generated and the explanation of the code. It contradicted itself.
However when I caught the error I asked it to further explain since it appears to contradict the code it generated. It then came back with an apology and it did state it made a mistake and was able to understand the error and fix it. Although I was specific about the mistake. I might try again later today to do the same test and see if it learned or generates the same error again .If it does I will ask it to confirm that its explanation and code match versus pointing out the error.
Even your single datapoint explanation/POV/understanding will help to accelerate this entire process.
I have to keep reminding programmers that Co-Pilot exists, is real, and makes LESS mistakes than entry-level datagrunt software engineers. And it costs pennies of electricity to run daily.
All capitalism is: the search to maximize efficiency; monotonous human labor (~80%) is the most expensive part of this equation... this is not an "if," rather "when" situation. Putting your head into the sand will be a safe place for lesser programmers to still make money, for at least another few years.
But as was said elsewhere in this thread: if you do not know how to write PROOF code to VERIFY these inevitable AI-assistant-coders' outputs, you will not have a job. Human mindpower cannot compete in the bruteforce arena — all ChatGPT is right now is a bunch of autistic middle-aged asshole trolls with WAY TOO MUCH MONEY, and EVEN MORE TIME (to play around with this).
I encourage you as a more-artistic-than-technical (but still fairly intelligent) person to "just pretend" that this is your new Fiverr-tasker. Because it is already, and will be once more-widely understood / accepted.

I sense that "I'm sorry, Dave..." isn't quite as far away as we thought...
Especially with ycombinator as it appears that Tech people land on the Liberal side based on the comments I have seen in the past here.
Anyhow I look forward to the downvotes . lol
