What you describe is why I don’t think electronics should be in implants. “Dumb” implants already have issues; adding electronics will only increase the issues.
You can’t hold complex electronics to the same lifespan as a wrench, or replacement hip, no matter how well built they are.
Exactly why it’s not going in my body.
I don’t see how complex electronic implants can be designed to function on the same timelines as “inactive pieces of metal”.
Considering the already existing issues with inactive implants, maybe electronics shouldn’t be allowed in implants until they can demonstrate reliability.
I disagree with your prognosis. The earth has been hit by massive meteors, or huge volcanoes erupted - plenty of species survived. Your ancestors, in fact. There’s radiotrophic fungus growing in the Chernobyl reactor. The earth will be fine, as will many of the lower species.
We’re fucked if we don’t change our ways, though.
My first PC build was a K6-2, overclocked with jumpers from 300 to 400 MHz. Setting Vcore with jumpers made for a very exciting first power on!
These days it’s hard to destroy a processor by overclocking, and it seems like it’s on its last legs. My 3090 and 5800X3D have no headroom, it’s the first non overclocked rig I’ve had since 2001.
How did windows 95 keep you from gaming? That’s when I started. 98 wasn’t that big of a chance to my memory.
Thanks! I’ll take a look this evening.
I see a few claims of spyware in here. Not that I doubt you, but where can I find out more?
What do you think about jet injectors?
a narrow, high-pressure stream of liquid penetrates the outermost layer of the skin to deliver medication to targeted underlying tissues
Fiber optics aren’t wires, though.
Yes, but slower and less range than fixed wing. Likewise, it can’t do rotary wing things as good as a helicopter. It’s truly a “master of none” aircraft. It’s not great at anything.
Putting it in a rescue role is a terrible idea. You do not want a finicky to fly, unreliable aircraft in that scenario.
Well, they’re not fast (prop too big) nor are they particularly great at hovering (rotor too small).
It’s the worst of both worlds.
I repeat - tiny heavily loaded rotors are the wrong tool for the job thus making it a bad design
It’s because it’s a heavy rotorcraft. Not poor design, just rotorcraft physics.
Like I said, poor design. Wrong tool for the job.
It can’t travel slow enough for blackhawks nor fast enough for fixed wing. The V-22 is an absolute turd.
I’m not saying “do nothing”. I’m saying efforts are better spent elsewhere as they’ll have much more dramatic effect.
Air travel should be addressed after massive emitters like industrial sources. Otherwise we’re going to greatly disrupt the lives of normal people trying to see their grandma for very little benefit.
Pilot error is rarely the actual cause, but is a convenient scapegoat. I worked in rotary accident investigation in the Army and that’s not something you’ll read in a report. There’s other issues; why is this aircraft in particular so prone to pilot error? Perhaps it’s poorly designed?
It’s better at spotting patterns, but without knowing the why and how the machine arrived at its conclusions, I think it’s going to be fairly limited in application.
Your detective example is just as likely to reveal our biases as it’s going to find a clue. It’s all in the training, and we can’t eliminate our own cultural biases. What’s the data set for suspicious behavior consist of? Who chooses it?
There’s a ton of AI hype and it’s barely had any impact in actual real life despite billions of dollars invested. I’m still not convinced. It was very cool for a few weeks until the limitations became very obvious to me.
Considering aviation is 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, you could get rid of all the aviation emissions and still be very far off from saving anything.
The headline seems much more sensational than the numbers lead me to believe.
That’s a flippant response when you were asked specifically to pretend they were your monkeys.
Bandcamp is a decent platform… for now
