The ad doesn't show me how the device works, there's just a person talking and making promises. I guess the device's resolution and contrast are so low and it looks a bit underwhelming in general that they didn't go with

Weird, I have the same, I don't remember flagging these stories, though there aren't that many. Maybe on mobile it's easy to misclick...

I've flown from Helsinki to Tampere, under 200 km, long long time ago. The cabin personnel had to push the refreshments trolley uphill and downhill the aisle as there was not much level flight portion. I don't really know why it e

Lots of places have water or mountains preventing car or train travel or making it go the long way around. Ferries are slow. Those would be natural applications for this. Tallinn-Helsinki city pair for example. I wonder, if this can get app

That's absolutely incredible. I would never have thought of that. Thanks!

There were designs to hurl masses from the Moon also with a sling. Massively less infrastructure than a linear mass driver.

Sure. Many pines can survive forest fires. But some other trees don't or are short lived anyway. I never suggested trees live forever. But 100 years is not a long time for many.

It's the asymmetry at play. It takes a few minutes to fell a tree. While it takes decades to grow. To grow an actually fully grown 100 year old tree is a multigenerational project. How could you foster such things? There's always

Well, because of this outage, I tried Kimi, and while the instant model works, K3 has "server issue". Eternal September from here on, ie now the masses are using AI as much as me and we have supply crunch for the next 7 years....

Many years ago had my first Gopro camera that seriously overheated, sent it for repairs, they said there was nothing wrong with it. It literally turned too hot to handle after taking a few clips and wouldn't work. I think there was som

Do you write with AI? Do you think people notice?

One can try putting themselves sometimes in the position of an old person. Let's say you have a heavy steel rollator with grocery bags hanging from the handles. You've spent an hour going to the store in the summer heat and are qu

True! One can walk around and then observe some of the shape. They were behind glass. So no touching, which means there was some unresolved ambiguity.

I saw a few of these black Anish Kapoor sculptures. The experience was worth the cost. The brain has a hard time processing it.

I think it's an accurate description of a common way of thinking, though I wouldn't call it conservative in the global sense. Another is some of the domestic manufacturing or hard tech movement people who present lofty ideals abou

It still seems to me designing applications or web services is so hard that it's just easier to hire thousands of people to do customer service and having people to come physically to do things. The average corporation's business

I see two really good ideas for monetizing the free tier for consumers. Firstly, if the user is asking for things where AI can link to products or services to buy, there's a very good relevancy, much higher than in other types of ads.

Ramjets were developed right after the second world war and Mach 4+ was reached in the fifites. It's complicated but not extremely. See Antonio Ferri or Lockheed X-7. It turned out out solid fuel rockets are operationally more practica

But they travel at 8 km/s so actually that cancels benefits? EDIT: checked, not enough to cancel them completely.

Hmm one would expect heat expansion to change the length of fiber over tens of kilometers. Does it also affect light speed in the fiber? I think consumer fiber is not buried very deep on average, but maybe for these use cases you use someth

I think there's also some exaggerations about the differing highway landing capabilities of various aircraft. [1] is a video showing Eurofighter, F/A-18 and F-35 all landing on a highway in an exercise. Capability with stores and
