[Tomas@9911CE3F], quick search turns up these numbers:

Calculating the exact number of wild animals on earth is difficult, but estimates suggest that it is several orders of magnitude higher than humans and farmed animals combined. For every human on earth, there are at least 10 animals suffering in farms, and likely 1,000 to 100,000 wild vertebrates and plausibly 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 “bugs” (including creatures such as insects, spiders and earthworms). This means that even if these animals are on average experiencing more than 1/100,000,000th to 1/10,000,000th the suffering experienced by the average animal in a farm, the absolute amount of wild-animal suffering is greater.

Reference: Wild Animal Suffering Research

Mindey@FE706DAF Could you describe, how many animals are affected of this problem?

Hey, [Yuri.Brigadir@8E326B69],

3.) implementation of "lean" and "kanban" methodologies

I imagine the whole parlaments going kanban? Oh, maybe :) The recent version of Infinity kind of goes that direction ( check out http://inf.li ).

Too many policies are discussed verbally, and this leads to emotional confrontation which makes some arguments invalid.

Totally agree. That's again, what should happen. With the introduction of blockchain, I suppose, this would make it possible to just let people tell their opinions with public and cryptographically signed messages.

The 2nd idea -- would be good to separate as separate as independent one.

Well, recently saw the Auto-CPR approach ( check https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6393926713293705216 ), looks way cheaper, probably something to have at every home.

Hey, guys! So, after a little long time, Infinity is in a fresh new reworked version, and on a new domain inf.li. Feel free to comment and ask questions. :)

You mean, like a website, where you have a convenient form to fill out, pay a fee, and that opens a company in a country of your choice, and provides fully-automated accounting?

[Divisor@EC9C06F0], so, did you take this idea any further? It basically makes sense, and a very interesting statistic to track with web cam on a personal laptop.

hello {1.5}

Interesting. Could these transceivers be also applied for very cheap communications on earth? Small lasers are cheap. {0.5}

I think, the nano-transceivers could also have a specific design, so that the information could be transferred, e.g., via light polarization, so that the computing could be performed within SENTs as if they were a single Turing-machine.

I spent {3} :), and expect it will take another {?0.5}.

Apparently, someone's working on something related:: "Facebook will soon allow you to combine multiple posts into one story", or maybe they are following Infinity? Just apply LDA, such a simple thing to do.

i have edited my comment.

I think this project is interesting one in there.

Consulted ourselves {0.2} hours ;) {?0.1} And video: {0.3}: https://mindey.com/shots/0db4b367aef6eb779d3e13135-infty.mp4.

[aliev], [ruta], long time ;) Are we still getting notifications?

Since the brain region (pontine tegmentum) responsible for consciousness has been identified, it would also be important to target it.

This could be superceded by HiveCells, which would have the emergency systems embedded.

Renamed this into a "System of wristbands to monitor employee stress, and provides rest". Goals titles are okay to be verbs, but ideas have to be nouns, as if they are invention names.

(originally, was: "Allow people to produce as much work as they can manage, but not as much as the project requires")

When writing ideas, write as if hey are new inventions. The thought "to communicate information" can be a part of brainstorming, but on Infinity, the solutions section is for ideas that have the degree of conceptualization, where you can put a name to it, something like a novel system, or a gadget. So, it could be "A SatNav that warns you of obstacles based on GPS data". Now, if you could go into more details of how it would work, this would be good for an idea on Infinity. :)

Btw., I'm sure you are aware that the current traffic conditions are inferred exactly this way -- by signals from the mobile phone owners on the roads. I'm not sure if the update rate in the phones would be sufficient for a collision warning system though, and likely, you would need special equipment for the cars.

How would this compare to the traditional radars?

I've renamed the idea from 'Hardware solution', because idea names have to be self-explanatory without context.

Bacterial contamination is just one type, there are other types of food poisoning. Moreover, the food spoilage involves more than just bacteria -- enzymes, oxidation, mold, yeasts,...

I would extend this idea to a new concept : "contributionalism" - an economy based on meeting human goals rather than meeting growth targets and "making money".

People would have an access to a global economic dashboard of wants and needs. Then, they can choose which one they could take on.

Even if there is an advent of automation, there will still be a set of tasks that only humans can carry out, such as minding other peoples' animals, children, etc. And also, a human needs to tell robots what to do in order to avoid some bias that come out of perfect algorithmization and automation. If robots will serve humans, then humans will need to tell them what they want.

So a dashboard could contain a set of things that a person wants, and a set of tasks that one needs to do in order to get them. Suppose there is a goal or need that is not sufficiently met among a large number of people, then one should get a warning in the dashboard. Then, one will be encouraged to contribute to it if they have the necessary skills for it.

I have expanded both ideas, and connected them too. If there are still some further questions, I will re-think the defective parts of the ideas.

As for connecting them together, it is too early to establish exact way to do it, because we will need to try out all the points that were mentioned in the idea and test them first.

Also, can you crystallize in more detail, how this would work in practice? Would the system transcribe all discussions in the houses of parliament, and make them available in this govt-run forum? How does that integrate with project management? How would this guarantee to solve the parent problem?

Great, and congratulations with the first idea on Infinity! :) I see several ideas in one - use most modern project management techniques, and create a government-run forum for feedback and complaints.

The "Use the most modern project management techniques" is very vague, because it is not clear what is "the most modern". We had thoughts that "oh, you could use trello for government, you could use basecamp for public issues, etc.", or "you could use 'agile' for government projects," and so forth. However, a few years later "agile" is not modern anymore, and "basecamp" is replaced by new technology "X". So, it would be good if you can be more specific about this, because "use the best technology" is not an idea, it's a homework problem.

Regarding the forum thing. So, essentially, a "government-run online feedback forum for complaints"?. Not a bad idea at all. In fact, I have had a bit similar idea by a friend of mine, recently expressed, as -- "A complaints register!" (allow citizens to easily and semi-automatically file legally binding complaints), and make the govt do what it is supposed to do. Complaints are, in fact, a supported form of feedback from citizens in many countries, that government officials are obliged to pay attention to, if the number of complaints reaches certain threshold.

[colemai], I do agree that legislation is a problem when convincing retailers to donate food, although how to make it a scalable solution?

_> An education team with a pro bono lawyer could probably convince some big food retailers to spend their social consciousness money on donating expiring perishable foods to local charities/homeless shelters etc. _

Thing is, that big retailers would be interested in providing their time to deal with lawyers if only they would see such act as a return not a cost. I wonder, how we can make it more convenient and less time consuming for retailers to donate food with less effort?

_> Other problems are that this would only help food poverty in relatively well off countries. _ You might like an idea shared by [gmikhai] where he talks about how to deal with hunger in developing countries. Quote: "On the other hand, restaurants, bistros, and other eateries throw out a lot of food waste. They could be relatively inexpensively disinfected, freeze dried, homogenized, and finally pressed into balls or briquettes. These balls shall be available for free near any restaurant, supermarket, and other public places, especially in poor countries." (see a picture in the article)

Looks like we've got progress in China: building a sea lab 3km underwater in the South China Sea. Bloomberg writes: "The project was mentioned in China's current five-year economic plan released in March and ranked number two on a list of the top 100 science and technology priorities."

[ruta] to be able to share a random e-mail conversation on infty just cc-ing it to our e-mail address would require the ability to parse, which part of e-mail describes problem, which describes idea, etc. within a bunch of e-mails forwarded, and one email may have many ideas, and many problems, so, random e-mail to ideas@infty.xyz - and infty automatically sorts out what is the problem, what is the idea, etc? If we had this capability, why wouldn't we just throw any information from the web at it, and let it automatically figure this out? :) (I don't say we won't be able to do this in the near future, but not in the nearEST.)

As for human-assisted interaction, I think it is easier. E.g., I am thinking, how to write my ideas in my wiki, and just mark them up with some syntax, e.g., {:post it on infty|this is the content:}, so that my wiki would use infty API to post it for me.

So, we could support special tags, that people who write e-mails could use it when they forward e-mails to ideas@infty.xyz, and then, if they are really users of infty, and their e-mail is coming from expected sender, we could create content item(s) based on it.

Guys, I was thinking how to make it easier for people to share on infty.

People have thoughtful discussions over email. We have time to think about what we want to say over email because we're not forced to respond just like we're over real-time chat. Why not make it easy to add such email conversations to infty by allowing people to cc ideas@infty.xyz ? This way people wouldn't need to leave a space where they have conversations but they could still preserve the knowledge on infty, and share it.

(x.ai works similarly, you just cc an AI)

[Mindey] [aliev] [george]

One idea from the past by [aliev]: if a comment looks like a milestone, or a task, we should make it possible to convert it into it.

Did you realize that people can actually stay anonymous while using infty? For discussions, I think this is a good thing. It is possible to register a free GitHub account, and to register with GitHub, a person only needs an e-mail. There had been an attempt on Citizendium to use real-name-policy, but Wikipedia seem to do just fine with anonymous authors... [ruta], [aliev]

I guess, such daemon could only work with those phone or computer apps, which provide a local API to other applications on the system. Not all apps might need this. If an app has a public API, no need to query the device for information.

The device daemons could only be useful for accessing things not available otherwise, e.g., apps that don't provide public API, things on the system like photos on the phone, which are not uploaded to any cloud services.

Regarding the marketing aspects -- it is easy to spray washable dye on glass. Perhaps vacuum packaging might be a little of a problem, but we could use metal for that, couldn't we?

While good for cold climate zones, it is not suitable for hot climate zones. It could be, if we used induced electricity with Peltier thermoelectric cooling elements though.

Looks like there is already something related: magnetic fields vibrates water to prevent damage of organs during freezing (2011).

But you know, I would rather call it "strategic partnerships" or "knowledge exchange" or "consensual mutual supervision", or something else.

A "coach" associates with "trainer", and training associates which Pavlovian conditioning, which is a lower order mental activity than reasoning.

Look what smart people say about learning -- "stop learning, and start thinking" (TED, Jacob Barnett).

Thinking together -- that's what I would call it.

Could easily be done by an AI bot in existing secure meessengers, which you friend when you need debugging yourself. You could start from a rule-based system with a set of questions, and end up with something more advanced like a Bayesian net or a probabilistic program, enhanced with deep neural nets...

By all means :-)

Hi Mindey, hope this reply reaches you. Yes, by all means link to my HB ideas :-)

[PaulHDear], do you mind, if I link to your ideas from Halfbakery to here?

It would be very easy to realize, if one had a database of said questions.

The graph above, currently is not representative of the project as a whole. However, I will try to make it such some time soon. The problem with evaluating the vaue of the Infinity project, is that it has the potential to affect diverse fields. We're talking millions of startup companies to be created via Infinity project.

Btw., regarding the possible ways for getting return on investment into Infinity:

• projects' equity
• github model (e.g., pay for non-public space for projects, but I would like it be free space for non-commercial projects, like TeamViewer does if that is the case)
• membership fees
• pay-per-action (e.g., posting a problem in public may incur a fee)
• credit purchasing (e.g., user may purchase credit, and some actions like posting new public content may eat the credit)
• pay-per-payment (e.g., fraction of payment)

It would also be useful for people who want to move when connected to medical life support devices that are too large to be implanted.

It would probably also be easier to cryopreserve people, if they are in standardized vehicles.

It may also be under-estimated, how many physical injuries and infections could be prevented, if people used HiveCells for life ;)

I've already done some preparation work {3} needed to start working on this, that is, prepared my blog for use of WebPPL. That is, for example, if you open section on What are PPLs?, you can actually execute the probabilistic code with "Run" button. It is in the style of dippl.org -- an interactive tutorial. However, this allows us now to communicate easier.

Locally, I run this with:

npm install -g webppl

Note: Regarding the society's intent modeling, I've had a recommendation to read this paper. {?4}

I stopped for a while, to resolve a resource acquisition problem with more immediate projects... But will come back.

// make information of the past, present, future universally accessible. //

Looks like part of Google's mission. Question, regarding Google's mission -- what is meant by universally useful?

[z], so, here is an estimate of cost in terms of human hours of mine, to realize your project. You can include the milestones into your main project if you like them, and we could actually start this project. The best case scenario is in yellow, the most likely one is in green. (Lithuanian colors!)

You can also invite other people to give their estimates, and then, cherry-pick the milestones into your plan by clicking "Include/Exclude" button, and then, you may ask people (even different people) do these separate portions of your plan.

[Cabria], I liked this idea. It turns out I'm working on something similar but on a broader level not neurotopcics as I don't know anything about it.

What about the name like 'Z-Tracker Project'? :) We found that it is a good practice to come up with unique names for projects. Think, Apollo. I'll come back to this some time soon.
