I understand more about time crystals than Lendarios understands about robotic automation.

Watched this video apprehensively thinking it'd just be creating the world's coldest ice cube, but it's actually pretty interesting if it's not all a bunch of quantum bullshit. The idea of quantum properties expanding their scope at near zero temperatures seems like it could create some...

I didn't beat DA:I but I thought the war table was a piece of shit waste of time that just made me run around my stupid fort. All I can think about when thinking of going back to DA:I is how much time I have to run around my fort. It's one thing I dread with ME:A.

Oh and also +1 vote for people saying that Alex is too mopey relative to his book character. In the books he's super chill and just wants to fly his ship.

Bobbie Draper = huge sexy polynesian chick who runs around like Iron man

I think the layout of the ship in the TV series is pretty sloppy overall, and they might reorient it in the future to describe how unlike an airplane, all ships are basically laid out like buildings where the direction of thrust is always up. I don't remember them describing that or really...

Replacing Amazon humans with a BD robot would be the most expensive and awesome automation move in history.

The falcon heavy launch this summer should be pretty amazing, I'm super excited for it.

I went there a couple weeks ago, was extremely cool.

Is that a CW spinoff image?

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord teases its gorgeous Calradian Empire in new screens | PC Gamer unrelated: I started playing Perisno: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/board,341.0.html recently and am really liking it even if it's basically the same as all the other good mods.

I'll be super pumped when they launch it, but right now they've just created a 3d rendering of what SpaceX is doing, lol.

No. If we wanted to go to the moon we could. Landing our rover on mars is more difficult than landing a person on the moon anyway.

Re: reproducibility in the autonomous vehicle research field, studies are frequently performed that examine a handful of the top and recently published approaches to solve a given problem, ex: a specific way of planning in a certain problem set. Generally all the approaches are made to work...

I basically look the same, but am currently shorn. I swear.

Trying to guess how AI will react or not react to humans is pretty much impossible. We can create theories and very possible scenarios, but ruling out given scenarios or saying that a given prediction is definite or even likely is foolish. While we're being foolish, I say that all AI...

If I bought a VR system I'd get the VIVE, even with the Rift price drop. Oculus tried to build a walled garden and sectioned themselves off too much. Note that I'm waiting until 4k (or close) VR displays before jumping in again.

@The Edge, should @Titan_Atlas's totally useless derail on post modernism and subjectivity be censored from this thread?

I feel like you could derail any thread ever made by saying something as, "Beauty being objective is self evident."

I went to Houston a couple weeks ago! I also remember a quote from Neil Degrasse Tyson that in response to someone asking if the moon landing was faked was, "There's really only one place you can go with 500k gallons of rocket fuel" or something.

One thing I didn't fully get: Did Naomi send the proto sample to Fred Johnson against Holden's wishes and without him knowing? Because that's how it looked. At first I thought they were going to send it into the sun and Johnson would capture it due to his knowledge of capturing the earth...

Oh and I'm also disappointed we didn't get to see Sgt. Draper get rekt by proto monster, I thought her battle with it was one of the best battles in the books. What's the book spoiler policy in this thread?

Everything about this is wrong. Imagine a kid sitting in a swing. When stationary the only force acting on them is gravity. Now imagine gently pushing them on their back. They now have another force acting on them, your hand. They feel the force on their back, and begin to accelerate in the...

Just a small nitpicky point, us not going to the moon since the apollo missions isn't really science taking a leap backward. The only thing stopping us from making a rocket with 500k gallons of rocket fuel is the desire, not the science. I think science only takes a step back when a mistake is...

So...... Collect 5000 bear asses on 7 different worlds in 30 different clusters?

Yeah it's much more ambitious. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it does in their upcoming rollout.

I'm pretty sure tesla uses radar. Ultrasonics get pretty bad after 10 meters. edit: Tesla Autopilot - Wikipedia

I think they'll keep having these issues until they drastically increase the capability of the system.

But to answer the following question of, "Ok well what popular science publication is good?" is that there isn't, and it's not journalists fault. Everything that could possibly come out of pop science publications is overstated several times to the point where if you follow scientific trends at...

InfoWars sometimes covers science. The Economist and the Atlantic don't belong in the top left. But I agree with Skanda, move everything to the right and down one.

Lulz, must be frustrating wqtching that. I wouldnt trust a tesla in any roadwork.

Christmas 2020 release IMO. Funding will dry up in late 2018, they'll run out of resources in early 2019, EA will buy Roberts out for a few million and they will cut just about every feature from the game to get it to a publishable state. In the end we'll get a hangar, arena commander, the...

Thanks. I wouldn't come into it to be a competitive PvPer, I'm just looking for something fun. I decided against playing Exiles for now.

If they can indeed deliver with 2ms of delay that's pretty impressive.

I feel like I'm going to go cash in my 1 bitcoin one day to find out I've been robbed somehow and the system makes it inherently impossible to get your money back.

Will be a while. Wireless transmission conflicts with a lot of different goals of VR including data rate, size, power consumption etc.

New all time high.

To me the ISS (or any other low-G station) and a lunar base serve two very different purposes, so I don't know why the lunar base would replace the ISS. It takes a lot of energy to move cargo to and from a lunar base, so unless that lunar base is operating as a producer of goods (Ex: Helium 3)...
