Yes, please.

Very impressive.  I wonder how long it take for us to have full length movies that are 100% AI generated and people won't be able to tell the difference?

Also wondering if in the future people will gravitate more towards plays and other love performances to get away from AI.

I could also see people losing touch with what reality looks like.

This is a pretty good dive into project Orion.  At the end of the video they do a dive into some more recent proposals that are based on Orion that would be a bit safer and easier to engineer.

>Now, patients have "elevated blood pressure" if their blood pressure is 120-129 over less than 80 mm Hg, or stage 1 hypertension if they are 130-139/80-89. 140/90 or more is considered stage 2 hypertension, and a reading of 180/120 or greater is a hypertensive crisis.

As folks become seniors there seems to be risks of BP going the other direction as well.  My grandmother had mildly high BP in her 70s, but went the other direction in her 80s and 90s.  I've also seen the salt restriction taken too extreme with a couple of seniors to the point where they've needed medical intervention.

I wonder if we are going to have a lot of soldiers who have eye damage in the future.  From what I know about industrial level lasers eye protection is critical. It stands to reason that lasers strong enough to obliterate missiles are going to be so powerful that even the reflection from particles on the air may be able to do damage.

>transporters

I'm a Star Trek fan, but I've always been wary of the ideas behind that technology.  It seems to me that every time it is used the transportie dies and then gets a duplicate on the other end.  It scrambles your atoms, beams them through space and then reassembles them. No thanks. At least phasers are  more honest.

We are not doing so well at encouraging direct feign investment.

Cool project!  Do you have any data regarding cost and ROI?

Good article.  All the old arguments against Google cache apply here, but tips is so much more devastating to traffic.

I remember looking at a diagram of turbine efficiency where it basically said they become more efficient as they get bigger.  I am wondering though if there is a point where one gets diminishing returns?  Like maybe the weight required to make turbine blades strong enough to withstand the pressures of the wind makes them less efficient at some point.

Quote from: littleman on February 04, 2021, 07:05:43 PMCase: Argon ONE M.2 = $45
Board: Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB = $75
M.2 Drive: 256GB = $30.99
Power Supply: 5.25v 3A USB-C = $10

About $164 as it sits, but I really don't think  the 8GB Pi board is necessary.  A 4GB model would be $20 less.  I have the Pi overclocked to 2Ghz and everything is very responsive at that level, the default OS is very well optimized to be resource efficient.

Just wanted to say that this is still my daily driver and it is still working very nicely for my needs.  It's challenging to calculate the electricity cost savings exactly, but it's likely somewhere between $250 and $350 over the time so far.

I've been seeing them advertise on YT channels I like.  Looks like a good way to burst out of a bubble.  I hope it catches on.

Bodes poorly for future reproduction.  Reality is going to be shockingly imperfect to reproductive age humans pretty soon.  Stack that onto the pile of reasons birth rates are falling.

Radiolab is great.

Looking at the list it seems that the reasoning is if it could be done on a keyboard, kiosk or online it will be done by AI.  If it has to be done in person, or requires physical labor while thinking on your feet it is safe for now.
