There was an idea I read about, sorta along the same crazy track, (might have been Popular Science or something like 25 years ago) where they came up with an idea for a jet that didn't use traditional control surfaces like ailerons, but rather line the wings and fuselage in thousands of tiny flaps that would all be precisely computer controlled. It would be able to basically mold and shape the airstream around itself to make precise movements.
We've known this since September 1993, but we just let it keep going. I don't think anyone can actually stop it or knows how, unless we get hit with an asteroid or something.
Off topic, but I think it's funny that the cutoff for a more modern worldview ends at 50 now, because all the older millennials are well into their 40s now and we have to include them because they were a main driving force behind "occupy" movement 14 years ago.
10 years ago you saw "under 40" being thrown around. 😂
As someone who uses scissor lifts a lot, I wish the manufacturers standardized on one way. Some have you push the joystick forward to descend, others will raise the platform when doing the same. I've damn near smashed some things in the ceiling going the wrong way for a second.
Why/how does a digital camera manage to fuck your face up so bad? Every wrinkle, pore, crater, valley is accentuated vs. looking relatively smoother in the mirror.
Amazing how wide the gaps can be in tech. A friend of mine is all over Windows power shell scripting of which I know next to nothing about, but he's just as stumped when he sees me writing C for embedded microcontrollers.
But people who aren't heavily into tech will just look at both of us and ask to fix their printer because we're both "good with computers". 🤣
Sure, potato is nice, but also running Linux on an actually powerful machine is also very nice. I love compilations of some things being reduced to seconds from minutes. It spoils you and you never want to go back to potat.
Cutting snippets of paragraphs out of existing books and pasting them together into a conglomeration that vaguely resembles a novel does not make me an author. Pattern recognition and matching is not original creation.
The original source material was still human-generated. When a computer is able to imagine a totally new concept out of thin air, then I will be impressed.
Fuckin sentient holograms. Can be anything they want, but what do they choose to be? Normie-ass humans.
