There’s a reason an insane number of the people who publicly attack pedophillia are in fact pedophiles.

Unprofessional human drivers (yes, even you) are unbelievably bad at driving, it’s only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

I mean, it would still be pretty bad news as most of them are domesticated farm animals that are vital to our agriculture.

I just want to point out that you just said everywhere but and then listed around 60% of the total world land area.

We already do this at every steam based power plant in the world (basically everything but hydro, PV, and wind) and it’s done much more efficiently. Doing this stuff with tiny gadgets on micro generators like ICE vehicles is a pretty inefficient implementation, especially as it adds weight to already heavy vehicles, decreasing efficiency and safety, and increasing tire and brake wear. The only place I can imagine this being useful is very heavy vehicles that for some reason still have to be using diesel like long haul trucks/busses, diesel freight trains etc and the like. And EVEN then you’re looking at major issues with economy. If you increase the weight of a truck by 2 percent to give it a 2% increase in fuel efficiency, you are hurting not helping. 2% comes off of your GCVWR margins and suddenly you need 51 trucks instead of 50 trucks to transport a given load, not only increasing your fuel use by 2% but also increasing vehicle maintenance and tire and brake pollution by 2%

Edit: I’m not saying relatively miniaturized energy recovery systems don’t have a future, but I’m dubious it’s in transport or handheld devices. At least for the foreseeable future. Infrastructure scale however has always been a major application for energy recovery development, stirling engine, steam turrbine and TE development keeps getting further pushed to eek efficiency out of power stations, power plants, substations, emergency generators, maybe even HVAC systems and other building scale applications.

Is Betteridges Law dead?

Elon gonna start sueing the EU for not buying his cars

So to answer what I assume is going to be the most common question here, this is a circuit diagram, but every neuron is like its own little programmable integrated circuit with a small amount of internal memory and those aren’t mapped here. So this is an excellent model to explore how neurons connect to each other and get insight into cognition and the function of the brain but it is far from something that can simply be simulated on a computer.

Love TNG and DS9, currently reading the Ringworld series

Isn’t this kind of the plot to the Rick and Morty dog episode but kinda flipped

That’s extraordinarily on brand of them

I mean, if the car needs a cellular subscription.

Holy shit Intuit and GM better shape the fuck up or the workers should just hurry up and fucking do it.

Remember Trump every time he’s weighed in on something, like suggesting injecting people with bleach, or putting powerful UV lights inside people, or fighting Covid with a “solid flu vaccine” or preventing wildfires by sweeping the forests, or suggesting using nuclear weapons to disrupt hurricane formation, or asking about sharks and electric boat batteries? Remember these? These are the types of people who are in charge of businesses, they only care about money, they are not particularly smart, they have massive gaps in knowledge and experience but believe that they are profoundly brilliant and insightful because they’ve gotten lucky and either are good at a few things or just had an insane amount of help from generational wealth. They have never had anyone, or very few people genuinely able to tell them no and if people don’t take what they say seriously they get fired and replaced with people who will.

I mean, the first and foremost logistical issue and more information about the follow-up stuff (unless the Artemis program is simply dramatically scaled back for the foreseeable future) is simply building a fully working prototype of Starship/Super Heavy and the HLS. Until that happens Artemis 3 as planned is completely out of the question regardless of logistics scale and it will be hard to have a really good understanding of the scale of the logistics issues. Fingers crossed for IFT-5 going perfectly next month.

Currently NASA simply does not have a way of landing people on the moon and taking back off again, period.

I mean if somebody has physical access and is logged in they have your data anyways right?

I assume the proportions of people who spoof their OS is slanted towards Linux

I see this as a win win

I for one vote everyone just be done with public internet media and stick to outside, known person to known person interaction, and info from reputable news sources that vet their sources and maintain a high standard of accuracy.
