Yeah, compare that to optimised version for Amiga 1200, what could be done with 14MHz processor, 2MB of ram, watch first minute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0QonT359uI This version could of course also be optimised, bu

Piezoelectric crystals. Change in pressure causes electricity flow. They are used in piezoelectric lighters and in some microphones. Buzzers from birthday cards can work both ways, as a microphone (pressure->electricity) and as a speaker

Same, but was fast at first and slowed to 1fps before reaching nearest base. Both in firefox and chrome.

Nope, social media only shows that juicy ideas spread more efficiently. Do they stay long with us? Not many of them do.

That can always happen anyway in any endeavour.

Can confirm, CoFounder matching is a godsend. I didn't finish a prototype yet but already found promising cofounder. But it may not happen on your first day of searching.

Yeah, this is a thermophotovoltaic cell, which uses heat apart from light. But because it uses heat, they called it heat engine.

Yeah, there are many wrong and some disinformed statements in that article: > The most popular batteries use chemicals to store the energy. And then when we want to use the energy, we simply draw it back out. This is pretty much how the

Probably the computer is on that stack of boards which presenter deemed "uninteresting".

It probably has a cheap camera with transmitter so that operator can se where the drone is flying and a dslr to capture high quality photos for further intelligence gathering.

No, by that definition, anything that moves is a robot. A rock rolling from a hill would be a robot. This makes "robot" word useless.

Ukrainians did use "the ability to see things from your opponent's point of view and then predict their response." That's why they prepared for this war and knew that it will start about 2021-2022. They already knew in 2

That's overstretching a definition of robots. Mines are simple mechanisms. Robots should at least move a little.

What do you mean there's no point? No point in ads - yeah. No point in article - they stated that ads are not universally working. Sometimes you don't need groundbreaking results to make an interesting article.

All those methods require you to already have lots of money.

There was once a book, "100 Authors Against Einstein"[0]. Expect opposition against everything you do. Those who are against are just typically more vocal than those who don't know yet. Those who support Wolfram typically are

Yeah, You can even have a situation, where your work is invisible if done right and impacts thousands of people every day yet you barely have minimum wage, for example street cleaner.

Of course, I'm whole heartedly with you in that matter, I don't think many people here would be against such cause. I wish people in underdeveloped countries earned at least as much as I do. I just would like to see that "man

Why don't you do this? If you don't have resources for this, why do you think other people have them? Ask yourself honestly, if you won a lottery yesterday, would you give it away to those workers in underdeveloped countries? I wo

What is your argument exactly, that we should not give job to workers in poorer countries? So that they don't have any money?

Yeah, IMHO apart from using combinatorial enumeration, that's how most of progress in physics happens. You start with an idea and see to what it applies. When you search for a theory of everything, you try to apply it to everything you

It's more about power. Wealthy people have more power and their corruption causes more widespread effects. Plus, uncorrupted officials don't support corrupted subordinates, so high-level corruption breeds more low-level corruption

by yetihehe 5y ago
Good argument. I think such bottom-level corruption is caused by top-level corruption and general demoralisation of society. When you have low-level worker who is corrupted, but higher-levels are moral, you can just denounce that one worker
