From your link, global temperature anomaly were -0,4°C. We are at +1,5°C. We would need something like 9 very big volcano injecting tons of sulfure in the upper atmosphere to cancel out the recent global warming.

And probably 3 meteor impact.

It should be at the level od the economy of war but worldwide. The majority reacted too late to have the possibility to act slowly.

> +20% speed for +20% spend isn't going to motivate a trillion dollars a year in spending.

Except that if your company go 20% faster than the others companies, you win market shares. But then, everyone will use the same tools and companies will be at even speed, but the tool will stay.

Now...if the market is saturated, it's useless to try to do things faster. Cheaper yes, but not faster.

I've skimmed the article but did not found the answer to the title. My childhood was marked by random internet shutdown from my parents during online game, computer shutdown...I can tell I experienced the frustration it can generate to a child. And it actually had me more hooked, as the scarcity and the "shutdown risk" and the accumulated frustration led me to try to play whenever it was possible.

Now I have a kid, and a tablet, and the best way to let them go is to watch things together, propose other things rather than a "stop it now it's enough", avoid doom scrolling pattern, short content...One must avoid creating uncontrollable frustration, that's what make kids crazy.

And even better if tablet can be avoided most of the time, they tend to forget it.

Okay, I agree. I think we can also agree that author is not a physicist and he just didn't think further. To me, the comparison can be understood. If he reads the comment he should correct the error.

Hey, at least you'll be able to add that exterminated tigre specie in your postcard from your last adventure trip. And more water to that river, with some greener trees etc.

All of that without leaving your home ofc.

To me, the article just ask "Is it possible to simulate living organism features?" and say a small yes by saying "Simulations like these show how computation can produce lifelike behavior across scales".

I'm not expert to judge the result of "drawing a missing hand by using neural network on each pixels"(if it's what it's done? Again not an expert).

The title should definitely be "Is it possible to simulate living organism?" given the last sentence is "Simulations like these show how computation can produce lifelike behavior across scales".

Nothing about life is discussed here, it's not even defined once.

Because low cost drones have been used since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, they are trained to use them. Also the quantity used is way higher than in other conflicts, lowering the price is more important.

There is also a need in adaptability. Delivering parts that meets a specific demand at a specific time is where 3D printing and diy drones shine and it's important in Ukraine frontline.

There is also a system in the way Ukraine is doing war that favorise diy drone. Basically, each units have a budget and you get more if your unit kill Russian soldiers/equipment. This in return give you access to more advanced drones.

I think today the drones are quite well equipped and the diy versions are less present.

It's a paper done by a phd, so it's part of a larger study that is probably more interesting than this paper.https://etheses.dur.ac.uk/15828/ (I'm not the author).

But the results and use cases seems to be legit to me. Agin, I'm not an expert on computer science and quantum physics.
