Can something posses extrinsic properties? Or are them a intrinsic property of external things?

Once I was told by a mechanic the following: if car companies where the ones liable for fixing your car, the design would look very much different. Car companies choose what is sim…

I find that researchers choices of names for the sake of differentiation is more of a barrier than something helpful. Sometimes it feels like I know nothing, but in reality it is t…

Pretty much this. It was a huge disappointment for me to understand that even if I made a revolutionary discovery and doubled the yield of food crops, people would reproduce and th…

The Byte magazine is incredible. First time reading it. The archive.org collection is a gold mine for learning. Thank you very much for posting it.

Beam riding is also a thing. The missile is guided by a sensor in its butt, therefore making it harder to jam.

Also, the safest data is the one never sampled into digital format and stored in computer systems.

Perhaps they are not. What is really happening is the world is getting more complicated. And if people don't get smarter, or better informed, their capacity to create problems is g…

But they can be picked up with right kind of electromagnetic arrangement[0]. [0]. https://youtu.be/7ZeBWJLRXqM&t=1231

So you are telling me that a certain linear city will also not materialize?

Would you rather have Cars as a Service?

Don't they use radar altimeters to get altitude? You don't need to rely only on image processing. You can even pull off stereo using a single camera since you are moving and know t…

People got very upset when chemistry proved that we are made of the same thing as "unalive" things like rocks. You can see the same now that we proved the same for intelligence.

We will probably get as much collaboration as the car industry does with some basic components and standards. But perhaps big differences in the major hardware (hands, chassis). Th…

Yet again very little attention is given to the touch sensing. No sensors on the back and sides of the fingers. I can grasp objects blind folded because of the richness of touch. I…

This is an absurd take, to say the least. It offends the intelligence of virtually everyone involved in the bomb development. Plutonium usefulness would be noticed eventually. Impl…

Non-deterministic means random. AI or natural I is not random. Analog suffers immensely from noise and it is the reason the brain has such a large number of neurons, part to deal w…

If they think this plan of "connecting" word to actions is promising then they should ask it to tie a shoelace based on "natural language" description. I'm shocked. I really did no…

Perhaps your assumption that stepper motors are the first solution to any motion problem speaks more about your lack of resourcefulness than the ingenuity of another solution.

Can one achieve elite status without wealth?

The mistake you make (and a lot of people also do) is to assume the purpose of the system is to somehow cater to your (the consumer) needs. The purpose of the system is to fulfill …

They are literally falling apart at this point...

Why is he not employed at research? Semiconductor is a gigantic field growing by the year.
