If they are important, they should appear in drawings, paintings, carvings, statues, etc. Someone should really be searching in these areas.

Grenades used to cost $8. Crazy how cheap that stuff is. I just saw Ukraine drone-dropping Russian landmines back onto Russians. Fields full of free munitions.

The drones will soon be autonomous. The technology is already here, just not well distributed. EW (except for EMP pulse) will be a dead end. They are already tracking down signal sources and targeting them. The drones fly around till the

The Ukrainian drone frames are almost all 7"-10" carbon fiber pieces machined out from a sheet in China. About $15. Speedybee (Also China) took over the ESC and controller market by undercutting everyone by 50%. The blades can&#x

If I were in charge, I would attack 90% Taiwanese and 10% of my real target. And I would leave Chinese comments everywhere. So I doubt you can point fingers so easily. These are some smart people.

If you are insinuating Arrow, Digikey, Mouser, we buy NXP from all these same sources and have never seen a problem. They all have traceable lot codes and and entire chains of custody that go directly back to the manufacturer. And during Co

If you can train a machine using video, and get it to repeat what you have taught it...and then manufacture millions of them - you have an (almost)-zero-marginal-cost revolution just like you had for software development. Plus, it's re

> aren’t that many killer products You've got to be kidding me. Maybe for text. But what about video training neural nets? I could list killer products for days.

120VAC is a waste if you are trying to generate power locally. Unless it's just for a few days or a week. Better to have 12VDC backups of whatever you need. Lights, refrigerator, fans, electronics. Like a semi cab. Then a wood stove

There are 20 bitcoin wallets worth more than a billion dollars each. I think it will be pretty obvious when someone gets a quantum computer working.

They fail constantly in cheap Chromebooks. And then there is no other way to charge the laptop, so it is junk unless you get inside and replace it.

The thin pc board inside the USB-C connector is prone to breaking. Angled insertion/removal also leverages the pins soldered to the mainboard and can eventually break them loose. The Lightning connector was superior in many ways. I ha

Very doubtful. They are already at 7nm. I'll bet 3 years. Using mostly stolen IP, because they aren't allowed to buy it.

Ask professional loophole writers to write a law inhibiting their own wealth. Even more jaded, they will propose it to large media fanfare, but then delay the actual vote for months while they all voice their support for it. Then they

I've always been curious how the Ring video camera can go "Live" 5 seconds after you click a button on a web browser, but still last for months on a small battery.

I've always wondered if the plant/animal shapes and sizes were represented literally in a 3D mapping of the DNA. Like we could already have a picture of what it will become, if we could just decode the DNA sequences properly. Lik

They would mostly stop because now the Earth is nicely round. Most of the original bumpiness created during Earth's creation has been smoothed out. That's probably what he meant.

See-thru is a lot easier design-wise. It would be my choice if it was possible. Otherwise, a live image works too. Doesn't even need to be 3D.
