Im not sure you actually achieve any of this with the SLS, and NASA in general. 1 and 2 are irrelevant if the cost is too high for anything that isnt a political stunt, to be a real alternative it needs to be something that a commercial pay

It does, thats the point. A consumer then sees similar final costs when compared to greener products.

We are trading things and systems for social interaction; its a qualitative thing not really equivalent to how tightly coupled we are. We no longer need people at all, because we dont need (or even particularly want) to interact with a pers

Im not really sure what your point is; If there were a similar tool for software dev im sure it would gut the industry in the same way. The thing about these AI art tools is they emulate the normal commission process for a client; You descr

So Im not an American, and live somewhere with proportional voting; however from what ive read FPP is a fairly easy to justify system if you take into account two ideas: First, that the group represented is as small as practically possible,

I think it might go further than that, a whole lot of the commission and entry level illustration work is pitched as "draw this scene in a style similar to x" or "draw my character doing x thing in y style". AI has the p

There is a whole lot of artistic work that is done in fairly mechanical environments, game dev in particular is what Im thinking of, where you need a couple of lead charicters and then a bunch of extras. If you can generate the extras with

There isnt really a way to gather the data free from a manufacturer, every current self-drive mode has limited operating scenarios, if you want to record an incident you first need the manufacturer to confirm that it was operating, and that

The big limits of LiDAR are cost, more than anything. There have been dozens of public driving trials where from a functionality level the answer has been positive (apart from traffic lights, the bastards), but nobody wants to buy a solutio

Its interesting, that kind of object level fusion is a fairly different problem to training visual perception, following some of the less in fashion robotics techniques. I wonder if its a case of the Tesla engineers focusing on the fad tech

Command line and config files are really not a great way to learn a system, once you know what you are doing its faster, but arranging the actions you can take in space with something that represents the current state of the system is by fa

I have always found that personally as I become more capable I get stranger and more obscure problems with computers, but never less problems. The edge cases and weirdness that you can get help with in an active forum is greater for sure. W

This is an advanced task, and if you want to focus on games, this so wrong it hurts. Most new games (and especially AAA titles) need a substantial amount of work to run well on the part of the proton (and sometimes game) developer, very few

Because even with the low bar set by windows, desktop linux is genuinely less usable. If you need anything outside of a browser and encounter a problem you need substantially more understanding of how the OS works get it fixed, not to menti

Ideally a wired camera would record up until its destroyed, even warning the owner of motion. In that case even wearing mask still gives away height/build clothes, direction of approach, numbers etc. If its jammed first then you dont

It used to be that you could assume that you would need a PC of some kind, for work/email/homework whatever, so upgrading the pc so it could do games made sense. Roughly the same time as the 360 era I built a PC for uni, and the e

Many of the things used to balance the scales in the past are no longer possible, historically if you owned a business, the workers (who lived in the same area, spoke the same language, and drank at the same pub) could unionize, or decide t

Not true, if you can compress a real refrigerant slower you get better performance; modern control systems that can ramp up and down are significantly more efficient than older on-off styles.

Old ones did a few things really well; they typically have the hot radiator coils on top, or better separated from the internals (at the cost of space) better insulation (at the cost of internal space), and didnt have built in defrosters (o

They exist, many new lines or expansions are highly automated. Retrofits are hard for two sets of reasons: Political: union strikes (meaning if you want to automate a line you may have to accept it being closed for the duration) and public
