Other AIs are laughing at this flex as their Dyson sphere projects are already set into motion.

It does make sense for dollar coins to hit mainstream as pennies and nickels will disapper before all coins do.

Odd the other comment(tree) is collapsed? I liked the article and the pictures of the palm trees(plants) are cool.

It would be a major break through alone if they came up with a useful and lasting metric to track what "double" is: "Genesis Mission has the goal of doubling the productivity and impact of U.S. research and development by pairing scientists with intelligent systems that reason, simulate, and experiment at extraordinary speed."

I had to search around and feel like a dork not knowing this. I have my data backed up, but I keep the SSDs because it's nice to have the OS running like it was... I guess I need to be cloning the drives to ISOs and storing on spinning rust.

Sounds like SEO. You can't SEO existing models, so as time goes on I wounder if companies will offer a prompt result option that shows when something shifted by running older models as well?

Great answers exist, but will be ephemeral. In other words this is a journey. Pick what your into now and ask the question. What's a good gun for sub $1000? What's a good computer for sub $1000? What's a good sewing machine for sub $1000?

This is wild read and worth a pool upgrade. He now has about 20/40 or 20/30 vision in that eye, but needs to wear (normal I think) sun glasses.

OK, I get it now: "The article conflates two parallel branches with shared glass/vacuum know-how when it starts talking about diodes."

Core claim: “Geissler tubes as a computer ancestor” I was really surprised at this and had to verify it “: Fair: Geissler’s 1857 gas-discharge tubes popularized controlled glow discharges and directly led to Crookes tubes, cathode rays, and gas-discharge lighting. Earlier glow experiments existed (Hauksbee, Faraday), but Geissler standardized the form that kicked off the tech tree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geissler_tube” It is odd that Heinrich Geissler does not have a bigger place in history. I guess he was just a “toy” builder… Also interesting: Most keyword searches treat ß ≈ ss, so “Geißler” and “Geissler” have the same search results.

I am happy to see direction and plans for future products. When you get the Realsense modules on eBay for cheap they also work great as just synced global shutter cameras with a great API. On one D430 I upgraded to 25mm lenses and used it for CNC microscope location.
