  • A laymans opinion on the challenge: Waves lose energy, and the exact placement of antennas will matter. I don't know what the mechanism is called, but we don't place wind turbines right next to each other. That is afaik because each turbine takes some of the energy out of a larger chunk of the wind-wave in an 'bubble' around it, so we place them with optimal distance according to efficiency of that mechanism. If I'm right the effect will probably be minimal. Anyway, just a stab at an interesting thought..

  • I'm old. Once upon a time 'screen savers' were used for ..saving screens, I swear it's the truth :-) I would've bet money on screensavers disappearing when CRT monitors did, but that certainly did not happen. It exploded. I kind of expect that someone by now have created a screensaver ..plugin for another screensaver..

    Not picking on you, just feeling old suddenly. I tried searching for 2024 all-time insane screensavers but only found this 13yo one from vsauce: iv.melmac.space/watch?v=zwX95UaKCRg

    ..but I'm curios what have happened in 13 years, so if any lurkers know better search-fu, please add..

    Sharing is caring <3

  • Looks to me that using shark patterns inside a jet engine (vs as outer skin) incl hardened printing methods is a new tech, and yes everybody can eventually imitate/repeat other peoples tech, but it'll take time to get things right, so the article seem unbiased enough.

  • Ouch. I actually thought that HIMARS were one of the few successes, but apparently that were only in the beginning, and now they are worthless. Impressive. The level of Russian EW are confirmed from other sources also. I can't really remember any weapons that have been a success ? All the Western super weapons seem to have been failures.

  • 'Similarly, during democratic elections, Google employed whitelists for sites that should be shown (or demoted) for election-related information'

    I'm sure they only use that little 'non-fascistic' feature for home use and not all over the world, yeah.

    China, Russia, Iran etc seem to know what they are doing, and why. All people in the western world need to apply a Chinese firewall and block these US state/profit controlled corporations.

  • Just to add: Even if we can replace the energy from diminishing fossils with nuclear etc, there are still a huge forest/mountain of essential technology and products that are reliant on fossils, and they won't be replaced by anything. I can recommend Nate Hagens on YT for more on the 'energy blindness' issue, and what it means for our civilization to lose the last.

  • Unfortunately it was paywalled.

    I'm not an expert, but ASML uses a very powerful ultraviolet 'cannon' to edge patterns into their layers https://wikiless.northboot.xyz/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography, and apparently (from the few lines of article txt) the Chinese are going for particle accelerators for edging instead. I wonder if they will use a beam or just fire away on a masked wafer.

    Slightly ot, I think hybrid photonic computing is the future, but that would probably also benefit from smaller construction techniques, so ..go go China.

    If someone is interested in chip construction and new AI trends in that area, I can recommend 'Asianometry' https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw and especially 'Anastacia in tech' https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw

    They have not reported on this Chinese particle thing yet, tho..

  • Yeah, data can be beautiful - but is ugly if presented misleadingly. Only very little can be concluded from this 'graph' (without sources btw), but it is presented as if the inner west are the great core of enlightenment, spiraling out to the 'dumber' nations. The level of knowledge excellence is obviously related to the amount of dollu spent - which is nonsense. My equally valid opinion is that Western liberal/Capitalist education is exceedingly inefficient, and only optimized for wage-slavery. Notice how all the super 'edumecated' citizens from the west have been so easily propagandized to think that Russia is the bad guy. ..China is the bad guy ..socialism is bad ..communism evil ..Capitalism GREAT! We are the best!! ..and so on and so on with similar infantile propaganda from the Capitalist elite. The average intellects in these 'educated' western nations is Embarrassing, and misinformation from constant propaganda doesn't help much i'm afraid..

  • Looks like aprox. half of AI talent in US, are Chinese.

    Surprised by Russia. They have a lot of skilled engineers/good education/science institutions. Anyway, they are sure to work with China now, so they'll get accelerated quickly enough..

  • I read a comment somewhere that Stremio uploads like a normal client. Just a comment oc, but it should be easy to check for a network savvy reader. It may be that the plugin does it, dunno.

  • You need more than a llm to do that. You need a Cognitive Architecture around the model that include RAG to store/retrieve the data. I would start with an agent network (CA) that already includes the workflow you ask for. Unfortunately I don't have a name ready for you, but take a look here: https://github.com/slavakurilyak/awesome-ai-agents

  • Not much help, but a quick search revealed this: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs

    This seemed to be read-only tho, so not sure if it covers the use case you described. If you can program a little (AI help?) find a simple fuse filesystem in a language you know, fiddle with it and call ffmpeg or similar on receiving files.
