If those are true then wow

The only reason I have Disney is because I have a young child and there are a couple of shows that they enjoy. We recently got rid of Netflix because there is literally nothing of interest to anyone in the household and the only reason we currently have Hulu is because of Jeopardy.

They keep seeking the price to where consumers are finally pushed to the limit and I think they are almost there, finally

downloaded the old warner cartoons and cut the cord.

Google should just purchase and protect 3,000 hectares in another area as a sort of offset. For a few million bucks they could establish a park/reserve that would forever be protected. It heads off bad publicity by at least providing a positive impact

Forests aren't really interchangeable like that. Massive changes in the eco system in one area cannot be offset by preservation in another.

No, but it could stop massive changes of ecosystem in another area as compromise.

“The company is also developing a larger 2-megawatt commercial generator for its first planned commercial deployment with the Kingdom of Tonga in 2027. The Polynesian island nation in the South Pacific Ocean runs its power grid primarily on imported diesel fuel, which has significantly increased in price since the United States and Israel launched their war with Iran.

“The 2 MW commercial generators will be about the size of a shipping container, and we are deploying up to six of these generators [to] offshore Tonga,” Redd told Ars. “The physical footprint of this project will be relatively small.”

Nice potential application! I’m not sure of the scaling economics but I certainly do love to see all forms of power generation explored

Just build all new datacenters near underwater volcanoes and you got scaling

They don't have a unlimited energy supply, that prevents scaling somewhat.

besides being an obvious joke, the lava is for the energy needs.

Have you seen Texas city traffic lately?

Have you visited Seattle in rush hour?

I kid you not when I say it took over 20 minutes for me to drive one block to get on to the freeway. There was no accident or other problem.

I go to LA often. Seattle is way worse.

Shhh don’t encourage people to come by making comparisons please.

Really stunning piece of land. Glad it’s able to be protected

One of the rare times where I’m probably kind of ok with it

I don’t know, I take this as there being a good amount of margin that is going to be suppressed due competition in the very near term. It will be interesting to see how these margins hold up over the next 12 months, I expect them to drop substantially

Perhaps there are specific applications where the payload spinning could be an advantage, imaging/scanning perhaps (which in the video is going to be in the next iteration for the builder).

I don't think it would be all that useful, give the very way it works (modulating motor speed) - your rotation would not be consistent in speed during even a single turn, which makes exposure times different each frame, and possibly too low.

GP is right and the exposure time difference can be dealt with in software because you can model it. The degree to which you can modulate a modern CCD's exposure time dwarfs the speed of rotation.

Ah lest we forget about Jevons Paradox. With the ability to discover a nearly infinite number of potential breakthroughs, we are going to need more animal testing than ever!

(Sarcasm but also some potential truth)

Thanks! I was thinking of this concept just yesterday, specifically comparing AI to the internet. I didn't realize it had a name, although I knew it was a known phenomenon.
