Your argument is that the A.I revolution is around the corner, do you have any sources or evidence about this opinion or are you just talking out your own ass like you’re leading me to believe?

It's less the resolution and more gathering a huge set of frames from the video at different angles and lighting to determine if somebody is who it thinks they are. But yeah, I also hope it's still like 8k min

It could I totally agree but if the iron levels keep dropping due to whatever reason the results will 100% be catastrophic.

>> evidence that modestly supplementing the Southern Ocean's iron supply
That just sounds like the sort of thing that could go wrong.

We throw a marble in.
If it gets crushed, it's a black hole. If it pops out on the other side, it's a wormhole 🙂

Terribly worded clickbait article and not even interesting content. Perovskites had two new record breaks last week published in real journals.. Why don't we post those instead 🙄

That's true, but it was always known to not a be forever thing and it has slowed down. I think I remember the last big milestone where they said that was die size of 45nm or so because of quantum tunneling. Thing is, there is a physical limit to how small we can make transistors.
Once we're dealing with transistors that are as thin as atoms, where do we go from there? Yes quantum computing, optical transistors, graphene, etc, exist, but do they provide a higher performance per dollar than silicon transistors? Probably not and it's all about price per performance.

I’m the one with no argument, are you trolling or is someone in real life really this fucking dense?

Now we have the capability to take out whistleblowers anywhere in the world even before we can discredit their reputations. And sure, maybe some actual enemies of the state -- so it looks like it isn't to abuse power and things like that. Maybe we let some of the really bad guys go so they can taunt us. "Oh gee, I guess if they hadn't cut back on our budget and used it on Medicare patients -- we'd be able to get these terrorists."
Every time they fail at something they get a raise.
Who protects us from the people who make sure more and more Americans can't afford to live here?

I belive trees already do (carbon to oxygen)this so rather then make a tree just plant one.

With no argument, cool cool.

And I don't need anything to call you a dumb piece of shit with his head stuck up his ass. Miss me with your bullshit please.

I believe this is already happening with radiology -- robotic vision + edge-detection can identify masses and growths better than human specialists -- medical professionals I trust say "no more radiologists after this generation."
Perhaps the temporary 'trick' is to find sub-disciplines in which "human intuition" still plays a material part -- i.e., not formulaic credit-checks or bid-pricing -- and to acknowledge that we're probably still decades away from true AI singularity, which will be human-disruptive past any predictability.

I sure hope none of their targets are my doppelgänger — ffs. Also reminds me of the facial recognition service a few years ago that would match like 1/4 black men to Michael Jordan.

Now its my turn to point out that they have been saying that since the 80s.

This recent study published in Science on the decline of iron supply in the Southern Ocean and its impact on the marine food chain and carbon uptake has significant implications for the future of our planet. As we strive to combat the effects of climate change, it is essential to comprehend the intricate interplay between various elements and factors in our planet's biosphere. This study offers evidence that modestly supplementing the Southern Ocean's iron supply could help combat the effects of climate change, such as sequestering atmospheric CO2. However, this raises concerns about the declining levels of iron in the Southern Ocean, which could endanger the phytoplankton that forms the foundation of the food chain, with far-reaching consequences for the entire ecosystem. The findings of this study underscore the need for further research on the factors contributing to the decline in iron supply and its impact on the marine ecosystem. This future-focused discussion can help identify potential solutions for preserving the delicate balance of the Southern Ocean's ecosystem, ensuring the sustenance of crucial players in the marine food chain, and mitigating the impact of climate change.
