So an obvious question is, what happens as the oil behind petrodollars loses value as renewable energy takes over? This transition is already happening. The difficulty for countries of repaying debt in dollars and the war in Ukraine has e

Does this mean the upgraded Switch can never be upgraded again? If the upgrade fuses are blown this would imply no further upgrades are possible. If Nintendo can bypass the fuses others might be able to also and hence downgrade their syst

To actually answer your question, they probably can sometimes track four dimensional trajectories, however not always, and they are not going to give you that data because that would reveal how good their tracking algorithms and sensors are

Though this robot looks pretty clunky, the idea of riding a legged vehicle is interesting. With a much better implementation I could see this being really useful and fun. For example, going hiking on the back of a robot. Seems like it co

This work is impressive and I'd like to see it continue. I do see some issues though. The problem of connector reliability has already been mentioned. Let's say I add two LED modules and two sliders and I want each slider to co

What ever happened to holographic lenses? I thought they were supposed to revolutionize lens design. Create a complex lens, take a hologram of it, and you can cheaply print infinite copies of it. I understand there was some light loss, i

In machine learning 95% accuracy is not very useful. It means the algorithm will be wrong 1 out of 20 times. So every 20th word in speech recognition will be incorrect, your medical diagnosis will be wrong for every 20th person, your face

If machine learning (ML) is trained on human behavior it can never be better (for some measure of better) than people are. So if racism is widespread, it will influence decisions trained into a ML algorithm. That raises the question, can
