    Nobody will be afraid to use AI.

    Use vibration to measure small masses. Measuring natural frequency can be very accurate and sensitive.

    What kind of vision peocessing are you envisioning?

    It is pollution and it harms people. So in order to do things that are good we must harm others first (or after)?

    How dare you stand in the way of regular people burning hundreds of kilograms of fossil fuel in order to spend a couple days at the beach? /s

    Not if we follow strict operating procedures, Gordon.

    Legit question: if I replicate a patent for a personal non profit use, is this infringement? Perhaps it is because I'm benefiting from the intelectual property.

    Depends on how much power you need (speed times force, acceleration and deceleration...) and how much stiffness you need (can't bend?). Also depends on how much travel you need. It…

    Is this related to lasers behaving as as a body with negative temperature when they manage to heat something to a hotter temperature by radiation?

    Microwave heating is not a fourth form of heat transfer as it name implies: microwave radiation. Yes, the heat is not being radiated by a thermal source of microwaves, but it is ra…

    If you dig deep enough all our land is on a floating basis.

    Enriching uranium is more expensive than making plutonium by a long shot. Modern nukes are two point implosion, not really fiddly. And when was the last criticality incident relate…

    How so? Huge flooding in Brazil this year, they are not recovering any time soon. Poor countries lack the resources that rich countries literally burn for their luxury.

    Because the market is made up of selfish human beings. First they don't care for long term environmental consequences. If that is not enough, then they use fossil because their ene…

    I recall Marvin Minsky saying that 1 GigaFlops would suffice for doing most of what humans do. Current AI is addiction to more data, more compute but no smarts. At least they gave …

    Sadly you can't get a glimpse on the immense effort we put into destroying our society. But the nunbers are available if you are curious enough.

    Psychopathy is also on a normal distribution... this "big numbers" argument is very weak. We all know what the masses like to do with the environment.

    How are these people arranged in the image? It is doable with good models and some sanity checks, comparing hands per square meter and heads per square meter.

    YOLOA model has knowledge for dozens of objects. At every frame it is computing lots of parameters not related to your case. This is very wasteful and the main reason you can't ach…

    Does every token requires a full model computation?

    Humans did it manually in the 60's. How hard can it be to do it with computers and radar? I don't want to sound like that guy but... how hard can it be? Edit: My point being: space…

    It can also be done locally with a fixed base station.

    More compute can't save you from dumb methods. Memorizing the whole of human text while being fooled by a prompt crafted by a 14 year old doesn't mean its intelligent.

    A reminder that so called engineers will bleed you dry before anything. As with many robotics projects, the people hired excel in one thing:doing what they already know. That is wh…
