How about retooling to specialize in crops that don't need sun, like mushrooms?

Net Zero 2050[1], the very public and very well publicly elaborated plan by the United Nations and many climate groups and other NGOs to have zero net carbon emissions by 2050, is such a ridiculously extreme set of targets that it kind of l

The worst outcome is when government promotes and protects bad science for ideological reasons. The classic examples being Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union and Mao's terrible ideas during The Great Leap Forward and subsequent famine.

The announcement felt cautious and political, like they are running for technological ruler of the world and not a company trying to make money. This is probably why they are not going to not get very far against their competitors despite

One interesting thing about middle ages technologies, like boats, is that the words in the different romance languages for things invented in this era are very different from each other. For example, in Spanish boat words like port and star

Yandex seems to have a bunch of links to what you're looking for. Sadly, Yandex is the only decent search engine I've found for these sorts of topics. https://yandex.com/search/touch/?text=scholarly+crit

You could have it start talking to itself in the way that AlphaGO learns to get better at Go. All that needs to be done is find some fitness function that indicates that useful knowledge has been produced. In Go and Chess this is easy. I

After 2016, Google went on a crusade to save the universe by stamping out all misinformation and seems to have highly deranked all forums and blogs in favor of mainstream sites. This has made Google unusable for any political or controvers

Transformers and AI will discover that 98% of human expression is just a rehash of something else. That 2% of original expression will become 50x as valuable instead of getting lost in the noise. This may lead to unpredictable disruptions

The way things work in "ghetto logic" is a guy from the ghetto will kill you for "disrespecting." So instead you act friendly, unafraid, and respectful and that's good enough for them to want to go mug someone else

I once was walking in downtown with a lady I was dating and a guy who looked homeless and was obviously very high snuck up on me and wrapped his arm around mine and started talking to me. I did not get scared, I just talked to him like he

I like to pretend that the city officials aren't just dumb and there's some sort of overarching method to their madness. Yeah, I did string together a bunch of stuff, but I like the idea of roving crackheads keeping people from l
