Fuzzy logic may be one approximation. Analog processors may be another.

When "shifting from Newtonian to relativistic contexts [while] reality" does not stay the same. While the op has many shortcomings, this post itself falls into the binary trap. You conclude without proof and contrary to currently

At least some Apple ][ key caps from the 80's appear to have been brown.

Not sure why all the fire retardants are needed. Besides, steel probably retards fire more effectively than most fire retarded resins and is probably far more recyclable.

If it were about performance and not marketing, they'd try to optimize for resistance to dust adhesion and resource consumption: energy, cost, durability, etc.

You lead me to believe that they are targeting a niche "audiophile" market and probably not a commercial market. The concern in the commercial market would be energy savings vs. capital expenditure. Some commercial spaces actually

I hope they're keeping all that data to be able to feed to ML and improve their FEA models, and to perhaps advance molding tech for everyone.

Not government, these are private auction sites that cater to the governments.

That's true for Scandinavians, Germans are not as gut.

It does have an English name, so why the surprise?

Interesting, but giving up an entire core to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth seems wasteful.

You're misunderstanding fundamental physics. Things staying in place do not require energy. The reverse is true, things falling give up the energy they already have. The aim is to prevent them from losing energy. We already do this, th

Traffic laws are usually arbitrary, victimless (or at least the perpetrator is the victim), and over-policed because they are revenue drivers and police job security. No crimes, no need for the police.

Memory compression sounds like going back to DOS days. I think we're better off with writing tighter more performant code with no YAGNI. Alas, vibe coding will probably not get us there anytime soon.

The gym analogy fails. Isolation exercises are almost exactly what you described. They target individual muscles to maximize hypertrophy, i.e. "improve the outcome of your workout."
