You would think NASA would have been proactive here, reaching out before a claim was filed, to maintain good public relations.

Are companies now big enough that they can punish countries by withdrawing their products? This seems like yet another test of the boundaries.

The accuracy of other articles can be higher or lower because other people researched and wrote them. This is why people tend to have favorite reporters and favorite news outlets. They do not trust every thing they read, they look for peo

There is the synthesis of sounds and there are a variety of models for that, such as FM synthesis, additive harmonic synthesis, physical modeling, wavetable synthesis, granular synthesis and more. Physical modeling is somewhat like ray tra

At the time I joined, 35 years ago, they were very willing to teach new people. Schools don't teach electronic warfare so they were used to doing training and people taking a year or more to get up to speed. A background in physics h

The tools I built were used to defend aircraft. So they were protective. But the aircraft have missions, which are often destructive, but not always. The company I worked for got bought by Lockheed Martin, which very definitely makes wea

I left the electronic warfare industry even though I'd helped build a program from nothing to a product bringing in $100M (probably billions since I left) because I didn't want to be in the war industry any longer where the entire

I've wondered about this also. I haven't heard any reporting that mentions whether or not these drugs cause a change in the desire for sex also.

The whole premise of insurance is that a large group shoulders the burden of the few that need to use the insurance. If outcomes can be predicted this whole concept goes away. People would apply for insurance and if they were not denied t

Yes, because it shows the ability to relate concepts, not just which word follows the previous word. Also this was just a simple example, which is why some people are working on doing scientific discovery using LLM's. An AI may be ab

Looks like Arcimoto is gone, Wikipedia says their web site disappeared in March 2024 and they defaulted on several obligations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcimoto Maybe it will live on if someone buys the IP.

I think a good place to look for clues is in information sources that managers read, for example: https://hbr.org/magazine https://hbr.org/ https://teambuilding.com/blog/manager-magazin

So I was just buying some electronic components on eBay and noticed that once again Chinese product sellers (and their US resellers) lie, cheat and poison US customers. This 100W solar panel for $12.99 is actually 5W: https://ww

Look for one designed to use external power. Lots of people have connected them to car batteries (there are projects on the web). The consumer ones tend to use PIR sensors to trigger short video recordings, which might be a problem if the

If you want continuous video for months then you probably need a custom solution using a battery. The battery will have to be somewhat large (solar can help, but don't rely totally on it). LFP batteries like those made by Eco-Worthy

One way it challenges old doctrine is that 1000ppm CO2 was considered good air quality in the past. Now it seems 800ppm or perhaps lower should be considered good air quality. They haven't tested other viruses yet (both colds and flu

The above research paper says one purpose of some of the emails was to collect email addresses. If you wanted to target a religious, military supporting, older crowd this was a way to collect their email addresses. They are also intended

Some research on chain letters that might be of interest: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344339739_Internet_... I could totally see this kind of thing being co-opted for spreading political messages.

My aunt used to occasionally forward emails to me that were obviously part of viral messaging attempts. They would often be religious in nature, but they'd also sometimes have messages of racial hatred or political topics. They would

So it seems like a corrollary of this would be that people do not remember what they do not understand and what they can not place in context, which could explain a lot of human behavior. If you do not understand something it mostly does n

I was thinking of capturing video, not stills. The changes an aurora goes through are awesome and it happens fast enough that long exposures, while still creating interesting pictures, don't capture any of the fine structure.

Full color night vision cameras can be useful for seeing aurora when the human eye can not. I have a Sionyx Aurora (appropriately named!) that could see red light through light cloud cover when I could see nothing at all myself during the

I think everyone is possibly missing something here, that perhaps this is not about AI's generating code and testing and debugging it, it's about the AI _becoming_ the app. You don't write a program, you just tell the AI wha

I see a wider problem here, interacting with this AI could train people to behave the same way with real people. Interrupt them whenever you feel like it, order them to do things, turn them off, walk away while they are still talking. Peo
