Hello I also suffer from a partially detached retina. I also have thought about what you proposed. I think the technical challenge here is that our brains adapt the broken input signal to correct the vision we perceive for the displacement so you’re not just reverse engineering the damaged retina but also the brain signal correction that takes place

How much would it save if you account for the fact that half of congress would sabotage it in to oblivion?

After reading “The Making Of The Atomic Bomb” I came away with the impression that development of nuclear bombs was 100% inevitable after 1938 when the German scientists proved splitting uranium isotope could sustain a chain reaction. All of the top physicists in the world instantly knew this could be used to create a super weapon. Every power in WWII had a nuclear program but only 1 had the resources to execute on it. Being the only country with a nuke is basically a checkmate on the world order and game theory demands it be created once it was known it was possible

I encourage you to try sitting in a wooden chair for 8 hours a day every day and reconsider

Kind of a dramatic title. If you're so concerned about it, couldn't you just make another proton email and link them to each other as recoveries?

I didn't, the comment I responded to did "poor critical thinkers who are poorly educated"

Factually incorrect. If Nvidia dropped TSMC, TSMC could still sell to apple, AMD and others. If TSMC dropped Nvidia, Nvidia would literally have no other options for cutting edge nodes.

isn't that just mocking with extra steps?

It is simple really, there are more suckers paying high credit card interest than there are people collecting credit card rewards. As someone who always pays your bill off every month any rewards you collect are essentially paid for by people with interest payments

"Isn't the more parsimonious explanation that our culture is now composed of poor critical thinkers who are poorly educated, lack sophistication and nuance, and accordingly have terrible taste?"

Hasn't this always been true though? Widespread public education systems did not exist for 99.9999% of human history. How could it be that education is more present in the world than it has ever been in history yet we somehow have worse critical thinking skills? Blaming the ills of society on education doesn't make much sense when we've had societies much longer than we've had public education.

I think what they're saying is an 82 year old is more likely to make it to 83 than an 81 year old is

AI is a lot more than LLMs just because they don't have a public LLM doesn't mean they don't have competent AI strategy. Most of their advancements are around image and video. A lot of companies that are "leaders" in AI right now have no path to profitability for their features because they're not actually that useful

FWIW, most games before early 2000s built all their tooling from scratch as there wasn't off the shelf engines to use. Unreal engine came out in 98 and Source in 2004

I wonder if this was the inspiration for the name of the creator of DotA mod, icefrog

I think technically they do not need to reach orbit just 0g which can happen on a ballistic trajectory. This test is between two tanks in the same vessel. But yeah orbit would be ideal as it gives more time in 0g
