Natural Intelligence has already proposed solutions. The real lie is in expecting us to believe that decision makers would be any more likely to act on the solutions that AI comes up with.

The shape they chose for the frame is a Möbius strip, which has the primary defining characteristic of having only one side and one edge. If you pick a row of keys to follow, after one loop around, you’ll be on the underside of the frame. Continue to go around another full turn and you’ll be right where you started. So both sides are actually just 1 side that loops around with a half turn of twist. A similar math curiosity would be the klein bottle, which has a single surface.

It’s one-sided…

Blowing up beached whales disperses the problem, but does not solve it.

That’s $700 for a digital only edition without a disk drive or vertical stand. It’s $810 to match the features of the PS5.0

No, never. Current charging rates already get close to thermal constraints. Hitting those charging rates either requires accepting much lower power density or using way more metal per cell. This research might inform design changes to improve charging rates, but we’ll never see high capacity batteries charging in a minute.

The researchers know this and only mention wearables and iot devices applications. The article author erroneously makes the leap to high energy density devices.

If you don’t care about energy density at all, ceramic capacitors can already charge and discharge in microseconds.

The youtube channels applied science and breaking taps are worth checking out for some high quality garage/small lab level tinkering.

Other countries should also be looking at adding forest area and wetlands in a strategic fashion to improve freshwater retention. Deforesting clearly changes local climates. So we should be able to do the reverse as well.

Historical accounts make it sound like the vast majority of land east of the Mississippi in the US used to be old growth forest. Between the chestnut blight and over 200 years of logging, most of the old growth forest is gone.

India has had some notable successes with a grassroots movement to get rural communities to do small earthworks projects to colllect water during the rainy season and let it seep into the ground. They have demonstrated a notable reduction in crop failures during the dry season resulting from the community action.

Dr. Zoidberg we know that’s you.

Then you find out that while the new place doesn’t have the problems the old place had, it has a whole new set of problems.

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.

You and your bad puns should hit the road.

An international minimum wage should be established and imports made without meeting that wage should have substantial tariffs.

Recent anecdotal evidence shows that elections are not particularly effective at selecting against incompetence.
