I know next to nothing about this project but isn’t this a way to build a train line somewhat cost effective? Once it exists, the land around both stations will increase in utility until it’s no longer a “nowhere”. If you build downtown to

For a useful robot arm, you need high forces/torques. Usually, this is achieved by high ratio [1] gearboxes between the motor and the joint. Those are expensive, and inefficient and make estimating the output force via the motor curren

Sensors too. E.g. force sensors are important for dexterous manipulation and safety. But they are all expensive, bulky, imprecise, or require constant recalibration, or all of the former. Our robotics Prof used to quote his industry peers:

Why is this post above downvoted? The opinion in the last sentence aside, the post is just stating facts. Whether one supports the German plan to rely on gas-peaker plants or not, it is undeniably expensive to build and maintain plants that

The US government has now paused approval for new LNG exports [1]. This was big news in Germany because their government is betting on US LNG to replace Russian gas imports and wants to expand natural gas use to complement renewables (peake

If your IP is outside the US, say German, then you often don''t get the original audio offered. Piratebay has the best user experience.

So you want a future where the electric energy supply is unreliable. Such an infrastructure is orders of magnitude less useful (read cost efficient) than the current one.

Bluetooth is the worst standard ever [1, 2, 3]. My 'solution' is: _Maximum_ 1 (one, one!) Bluetooth 'master' (e.g. phone) device per 'slave device' (e.g. headphones, speaker). That means, if your friend asks if

Well, if the US was serious about pulling the breaks on AI research they could use export controls of advanced chips on any country they don't trust to align with them on the AI front.

Well, it seems trivial to write a program that uses GPT API and curl request to feed GPT. Or am I missing something?

China got embargoed on high end chips, though. (Very wise decision in hindsight.) So, if the embargo is enforced properly, it seems to me, that this would make it very difficult for China to leapfrog us on AI, if we push the breaks for a bi

Good point. But isn't the next logical step to allow these systems to collect real world data on their own? And also, potentially even more dangerous, act in the real world and try out things, and fail, to further its learning.

Lifting is great but in my opinion (!) is not really a sport. It's more conditioning for sport. Sports like soccer, football, skating, skiing, mountain-biking, surfing etc. are much more complex and interesting IMO. Of course, there ar
