The problem is that they're not wrong, turbines and even solar towers wipe out vast bird and bat populations. Obama had to pass a last minute law approving the numerous deaths of bald eagle populations unfortunately. Water desalination

In the paper he actually multiple times mentions that he's predicting what we will be using in the future. And, quite a few of his examples are along the lines of, "Imagine many decades in the future if we had XYZ." And, many

I don't think anyone gets funded to do this kind of out of the box research anymore. Companies expect immediate results and a strict following of agile processes. If you're not tightly iterating a granular week by week towards a v

I think the most impressive thing about this is; 1. he predicted 3D CAD design i.e. the architect designing the perspective of a building and then asking to see the interior (on 3ft (36") wide display aka 42" (diag) monitor, unhea

The other problem is that ChatGPT is getting its answers from the source it is now polluting with its own wrong answers. Therefore making its results incrementally more wrong than before. Eventually, ChatGPT will generate absolute gibberish

After reading about this I decided to try my hand at using ChatGPT. I decided okay, let's see if it can recreate some code that took me a few hours at work to figure out. I asked it very precisely what I needed and my mind was blown as

Another possibility is that we are the ancient alien civilization that we keep looking for. We are in a less active and older part of the universe. It is possible it has taken this long in a more shielded realm for a civilization to properl

I own an IQAir AirVisual Pro, it has identified when the air from ovens affect air quality. And, I bought a Honeywell HPA300 True HEPA Air Purifier and you can see air quality improve significantly when it is on. Also, when a large group of

If I maintain a tool or library used by others, I do see it as a personal duty to maintain it on their behalf. And, clearly the volunteers in the post we're referring to here feels a duty, or they wouldn't be concerned about makin

I see this from a different perspective. The developer using the API or tool has a valid expectation that their software should continue to work as-is for years even as outside changes are made to the underlying tools, libraries and feature

My dad explained to me that in the 1960s and 1970s, USDA assessors would just drive down the road and look at a field and scribble a random number into their notebook. The data might not be very accurate. The reason he said they never cared

You could've stopped them by breaking off the plastic covering the read-only hole, it would have prevented writing to the tape. And, then when you were using the tape and wanted to write to it you could cover it with adhesive to make i

Well, I kept pointing out if that wasn't possible to partner with another company that already had such an infrastructure. There is actually a lot of money to be made with the various suggestions I made. Ignoring that leaves a lot of p

I don't know if it could really be considered to be in the dustbin of history. Wolfram Alpha is actually what powers Siri and other services like it. It is what gives her the intelligence. That is a massive accomplishment.

In 2019 Unity reached out to me for feedback after I cancelled my subscription. I wrote them a pretty long and detailed email on how to save the company. But, since most of things I suggested never happened they ignored it I guess. Though,

I wonder what this means for Starlink. I know that Elon put them into a slightly lower orbit accidentally than what they originally intended. Which probably had the positive side effect of better latency. But, now that solar weather is acce
