I would absolutely love to work on building a simulation at this level of fidelity, but I feel like making it actually fun to play would be the largest challenge. Maybe if the scale of it was at a neighborhood scope it would be possible to make it engaging - somewhere between The Sims and Sim City in scale and granularity
Size and weight being the same doesn't mean they weren't far strong than homo sapiens. We are quite a bit bigger and heavier than chimps, but chimps are about twice as strong as a typical human.
It definitely is more akin to an operating system than just an editor. You can even VIM within Emacs with evil mode https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil
Messy yes, fumes yes, but the printers themselves are now less expensive than a decent FDM (filament) printer and the resin itself is relatively inexpensive as well.
I don’t believe there were very accurate rangefinders like we would have today so they really needed to zero their sights on the exact area they anticipated their targets being. They could accurately discover the range via test shots, adjust their scope, aka “zero” it. I don’t think they had mildots on their optics back then
Wifi from those days wasn’t nearly as good as a hard wire. Also, it might have just not been available. It wasn’t nearly as ubiquitous 20 years ago as it is now.
The article mentions using ML to analyze and detect anomalies on the moon. Evidently there are a pair of very interesting anomalous shapes on the far side of the moon found in the Apollo footage
OIC... you were triggered by me dreaming about an expensive, professional, software/hardware platform because it’s too expensive to meet YOUR qualifications for someone else’s list?
Kyma is audio DSP software backed by dedicated DSP processors and something that is highly relevant to a discussion about audio DSP, but thanks for adding so much to the conversation with your pedantic nitpicking.
This reminds me of how long and how badly I have wanted to acquire a Kyma Pacarana. The thing is a 4 thousand dollar box of wonderful sound design magic. Being a hobbyist that only sporadically dabbles in music production and sound design I just can't justify it (yet!).
I have read about that too and know that there is quite a big debate about inflation. I still think that modern economic systems are sufficiently complex that there is no one person or government on the planet smart enough to allocate printed money in a way that is always 100% efficient - some amount of dilution is absolutely going to occur when you just will a couple trillion dollars into existence and inject it into the economy. Hopefully the value is greater than the dilution, but its not always going to work that way - this is what a well balanced portfolio will counter.
Who said anything about hyperinflation? Regular inflation occurs constantly (and by design) and must be compensated for. If you just leave your cash in a checking account and walk away for 10 years you will come back to radically less buying power than when you left it - the number might be the same, but the total money supply will have grown tremendously thus reducing that money's buying power. According to inflation estimates $1 USD in 1970 was equivalent to almost $7 USD in 2021 value. The point of an investment portfolio is to outpace this dilution so that your wealth grows and you are not diluted into ruin by the printing of new money. A balanced portfolio that has some percentage allocated to instruments that tend to hold a steady value or grow inversely to inflation are critical. BTC is shaping up to be a good choice to add alongside of gold and other precious metals which have historically been used for this purpose. It is short term VERY volatile, but long term it has consistently WAY outpaced inflation.
probably the potential of rampant inflation. When a government summons trillions of dollars into existence (like most governments have been doing throughout the pandemic) it dilutes the underlying value of every single unit of currency in circulation. Its not nearly as simple as "double the money supply == halve your current cash's value", but some amount of dilution and inflation are definitely happening. BTC is theoretically a good hedge against this as it is deflationary by design.
