    Fantastic development (I’m in the dental field) As a side note; a Chinese team already performed an implant surgery with a “fully automatic” robotic system in 2017. https://time.co…

    Great to see research continuing on this particular path.

    I wonder if this team has considered making the electrodes out of silver? Robert O. Becker had great success accelerating the healing of bone tissue using similar methods. Seems li…

    Good to see Robert O. Becker finally getting some recognition for a lifetime of work.

    What if the more difficult to explain parts of the UAP phenomenon is our experience of the remnant of that previous civilization? It never went extinct, it just moved into space an…

    I guess fMRI isn’t really a good analog. What is needed is an MRI quality video sequence showing movement. Dynamic planning would allow occlusal schemes to be designed more accurat…

    No, but it’s a step closer. CBCT is the standard right now, but it has limitations like poor bone density measurement and no dynamic imaging.

    An fMRI quality imaging system would allow dynamic planning for a full arch implant retained prosthesis, for example.

    As a dental professional working with oral/maxillofacial surgery teams, I can’t wait for fMRI quality imaging in a portable affordable device. First to market with such systems wil…

    Or, it’s a demonstration that AI output can be controlled in meaningful ways, period. Surely this supports openai’s stated goal of making safe AI?

    Agree re simplicity. Ehang has been using what is essentially a consumer drone design for some time, and has demonstrated success with many flight tests. Although they aren’t using…

    Your intuition is correct, and it’s already been done: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01216-4

    Tesla is an infrastructure company. He’s building infrastructural components for Mars as much as Earth, for sure.

    Quick question, please excuse my ignorance, but is there a way to extrapolate sequence from structure? In other words, can we design proteins and calculate the sequence required to…

    The chairs make perfect sense in the context they were used, and this was all built on a shoestring budget by hand. The bare bones Cybersyn was actually used during the trucking st…

    Her tech is very promising. They have apparently undergone initial FDA certification for device classification, so I’m also very curious to see how they progress.

    Yes, this! The point being missed by most is the very real possibility that the Scaling Hypothesis is true. If it is, then we're seeing some kind of reasoning intelligence emerge. …

    I agree that there may be specific use cases where this type of robot can help. My reaction is more to how it is portrayed in the video. The child appears to be depressed, with par…

    This is a good question. I think the differences may lie in the perceived anthropomorphism and the difference that makes psychologically. Books, clothing etc are passive objects th…

    Shouldn't parents be doing this? If they're not, then why did they have a kid? The robot seems well designed, inoffensive, and the company's focus is well intentioned, but I can't …

    I think, instead of minimum wage hikes etc, that maybe putting a cap on the ratio of CEO pay to entry level employee would work more effectively.

    Nanolive.ch is doing this quite well, high enough resolution to make structures like mitochondria clearly visible. Also able to make time lapse of living cells. (I don’t have any b…

    Platform warfare indeed, and this is completely overlooked as a concept. Bratton (2015) described this new geopolitical architecture in detail, and we ignore it at our peril.
