So PepsiCo can utilize others prior breeding work, but prevents others from using their variety’s to breed with ?

If everyone who bred a potato patented it, we all suffer as breeders would be limited in what they can work with.

No, they have been cross pollinating parents with desirable traits to produce an offspring with more desirable traits. The same thing Pepsi did to make FC5 potato.

Here is the patent for the FC5 potato.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US6940004B2/en

Read it carefully because while the patent claims that it also would apply if transgenic modifications are added, the variety was developed through just classic breeding techniques, which are described in the patent in case you aren’t familiar.

Our illiterate ancestors have been doing it for thousands of years.

No. Objection when they are overly broad generic obvious and\or trivial

Am surprised even need to explain on this forum of coders. Many examples of bad boy software patents.

People have been sued for growing patented potatoes, unrelated to round up . . . Ok?

U take tuber u put it in ground it grows more tubers u try to sell BOOM illegal son .

emperor has no clothes but this forum is full of people who wasted their money investing it and/or get paid to work on it.

today "AI is just spicy autocomplete" gets flagged off front page.

For MONTHS, front page has been full of sub-script-kiddie level "AI" tools that are just `curl "{static_prompt} + {user_input}" http://chatgptapi`

or mediocre examples of things that would have been impressive a computer could do in 1960, but are absolutely easier to do since 2010 with google or other tools.

Being technically correct is the best feeling in the universe

What scale what feedstock?

Lol dude I just googled “script list IAM roles that contain policy” and this was the top result. Probably less typing than the usual silly authoritative tone people use when composing an “AI” prompt , like they’re Tony Stark or Captain Picard .

And trust me, once u google stack overflow enough pretty soon you won’t need to ask anyone how to output a csv

There is at least one misconception here that I can see. You don't need pure oxygen to initiate pyrolysis, combustion with atmospheric air is suitable to initiate pyrolsyis as well as gasification systems that pyrolyze biomass without any oxygen/combustion using electric resistive elements eg powered by solar pnaels if you want to learn more about gasificatoin theres soem great resources in the internet

Useful compared to writing a regex in notepad yeah.

Last time I was challenged by regex I easily found very fancy web page with so many nice features. Actual documentation, ability to select a specific regex engine (or implementation or whatever you call it) , real-time results on test data, highlighting that shows how the regex works, etc. and that was years ago I’m sure there’s even better web apps now.

I can’t imagine having a better experience asking AI chat than using a web app made for the purpose

>but... we could already do that? that sums up so much. the emperor has no clothes. few see it. its inferior to the modern purpose built tools. we act impressed a simple program can be created from a prompt, what has every programmer been doing already for the last 10 years with google search and stackoverflow?

DSL just a library that exports a lot of functions that work together any language that allows naming functions does that?

Really beating up a strawman. No one's proposing or implementing "dedicated" biomass.

Corn ethanol utilizes the starch from corn, and leaves behind proteins, fats, minerals, and yeast cells which are used as animal feed, where its superior to plain corn.

Likewise woody biomass isn't coming from clear cutting forests, its from necessary thinning to keep forests healthy (thats otherwise burned in slash piles) and mill waste thats a byproduct of lumber production.

I could go on but why waste my time.

Correlation IS causation

All this pedantry is turning this place into Reddit

Please don’t do this it’s also against the rules:

Worth it for the upvotes tho

how do you reply to them?

Love the confidence, keep it up

Where's the robot to pat you on the back?

Yes

by the physics definition work is kilograms * meter^2 / sec^2 what computer users do on a computer is not work in the physics sense, maybe in the economic sense

no facility, no maintenance, no labor.

just as one can invest in commodities without owning a warehouse and taking physical possession of them.

you can do that same thing without the bitcoin mining.

the fact they got better returns on the energy market , they should have skipped the bitcoin part and used the extra capital they wasted on bitcoin miners to buy even more advance baseline generation to resell on the spot markets
