Thank you for the response. That's a lot in one sentance. If you have time, I'd implore you to expound on your thought. For example - why socialism and not democracy? Why 25 hrs/wk of work and not something <=24 or >=26

Concur. The applications are there. However, the dissent still appears justified. The issue is not with cost nor the lack of known applications. It's purely form factor, resolution, and interactivity. From the article, this product wil

It'd be cool to have a system like chatgpt (maybe converted to audio) that you could use to practice conversations in a different language.

There's actually an easier way to remove the subtleties of this statistical problem by using a hyperbolic example. For kicks and shiggles we'll up the stakes to be a prize of $1B USD. Consider instead a Monte Hall scenario with 10

Even with work completed at National Laboratories? I can see protecting the information due to national security concerns, but rice-bowling knowledge for financial gain (to an individual or otherwise) seems contradictory to the point of fun

Holy cow - I literally was just about to make this same exact comment. I was like, that's pretty incredible resolution on the rust on the steel grating. Wait, what about this bolt over here - and bam! I can see the knicks on the flathe

As someone in the maritime industry (ship design), I tend to agree that local manufacturing is an important component. However, there is still the distribution of raw materials - from concentraded locations where materials are mined/re

The Googles told me 60PPD (1): "If there is any single number that people point to for resolution, it is the 1 arcminute value that Apple uses to indicate a “Retina Display”. This number corresponds to around 300 PPI for a display that

They actually advertise 28PPD on their site. That's actually not too bad, but still not very good for reading text on a virtual monitor. Note that that 35PPD spec comes from the equivalent PPD when viewing 12pt font on a physical stand

It's not FOV that's needed for virtual monitors displaying readable text in VR, it's resolution. Not the flat panel resolution either... the only resolution that matters for VR and AR displays is Pixels Per Degree (PPD). This

It seems to do better with very detailed questions, but I agree, it can easily spit out BS in and absurdly assertive manner. That said, I had a US DoD SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) solicatation I was intersted in, but there was

Hard to answer this without delving down a political rabbithole. In the USA, there is sentiment for both military service members (not to be conflated necessarily with the military industrial complex or military campaigns), "first resp

I appreciate your advocacy for the devil, I do (it helps me wrap my Brian around these concepts more completely), but when you make a "never" statement, it only requires one counterexample to disprove. Consider the following 3 cou

Any file can be represented as a binary string, and a binary string is just an integer value - which is to say binary strings are simply indexes of files in binary space (i.e. the set of all possible permutations of bits). Looks to me like

Isn't that the reason we have trusted scientific peer review journals? I mean, why trust a paper that hasn't been vetted by a trusted source? The same is true in news media - I don't give any stock to news content that isn&#x

Ha, yup, I used the wrong "brake". Silly me. The point is that power delivery and energy capacity of an energy conversion system are two different things and the author's incorrect usage of power to refer to energy is pretty

The author of the article doesn't know what they're talking about. The issue in question is concerned with energy density, not break power of the motors. Electric motors are capable of delivering far greater torque than a similarl

Why do you think launching objects into space via kinetic energy is useless? It's actually quite brilliant and similar systems are now in use today[1]. 1. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/43079/space-laun

Thank you for contributing this. I'm 22 years into my career, mostly spent in mundane engineering roles compared to the deep research I worked on as a hobby but really wanted to do professionally. After pushing very hard for many years
