  1. Yeah it sucks. Now I don't have diabetes, but I do have liver and kidney failure. Kidneys failed due to liver failing. It is called hepatorenal syndrome. Man I remember the days they failed too. Could have given me a cup as big as the ocean full of liquid, and it wouldn't have satiated my thirst. I was already on a liquid restriction. I remember burning through two liters of frozen juice just munching on it. I actually went into the ER, because I wasn't going to the bathroom at all. I just got out of a two week stint, and from a coma. I did not want to go to the ER within 48 hours. So the third day I went where they went onto do horrible test. Like shoving a straight cath in my penis fishing for urine with No pain killers or muscle relaxers. Only stopped due to my vitals being dangerous! Anyway just posting because I think the Egyptians weren't kidding with the thirst thing. My insulin scares me honestly. Always sitting at 120 which I hear is pre diabetic, but no doc is taking it seriously since I have organ failure.

  2. We will see. Keep hearing it. Mass production is the issue. Doesnt matter if you can make a battery that is 10 times the power if it costs a fortune or takes forever to syneesizie.

  3. Won't this will be used on those poor sod who become insulin resistant? I am not diabetic, but do have hepatorenal syndrome. No liver or kidneys so I go to dialysis. There are many who cannot get their disease under control. Most of it due to age and diet, but I've heard a few suffer from rejection of medicine somehow. I try not to pry, but hard to not overhear when you got Doctors talking to them 3 feet away. Maybe that will be the first patients is my point. But yeah, nano machine tech for daily management use? Ehhh... EHHHH. Maybe if it was a cure, yeah. For a routine I'm not so sure we will see it for reasons you stated. Insurance isn't paying extra for that. I hope we both are way way wrong, and tomorrow releases the first anti aging nano machine tech for pennies!

  4. Nuclear power plus TPV cells should be the future! MIT just made some TPV cells that are just as efficient as turbines with the benefits of no moving parts. I have no idea what the thermalphotovoltaic effiency actually means... Like how big of a panel would need to be required to capture the energy then? Same radius as the turbine or something? No one can ever answer me that.

  5. Agreed. We don't even know how to make life. Let alone life that can self replicate, AND survive any changes successfully. Who knows how long a singular life form kept forming, but couldn't reproduce. With that said I think simple life is definitely out there. Yet survival of the fittest as far as evolution pushing towards better and better organisms is a lie. Life is totally comfortable being simple, and reproducing successfully is good enough. In fact on Earth life was stagnant for a billion years. So it needs to start getting complex without getting wiped completely out. So the planet, and the the system needs to be stable for apparently a few billion years. It needs to have a metabolism that is better to create something intelligent. Like switching to oxygen. It literally takes life it seems to then take the stable planet, and produce enough chemicals into the atmosphere to support said complex organisms. Then that more complex, nd then intelligent life needs to not be so superior as to not wipe itsself out. I feel like I am missing points. Yet it is totally plausible we are the first intelligent life or that there are only a literal handful of intelligent organisms out there.

  6. Just do not give AI the power to actually be capable of doing anything on its own. We have to delve into AI, because if we don't, and others do? Well we will be screwed if it is as powerful as people say it will be. I am not worried about AI going rogue. I am worried about different nations AI versus AI battling each other. Then that getting out of hand.

  7. I'm going to say this. If men do better. More men should get the job. Or vice versa. Talent over identy politics. I love it when AI is brutally honest on these type of things, and people don't like it. Think I remember someone saying algorithms also have targeted African Americans, as they are more likely to commit crimes, and people were not happy that the AI was focusing on them more, Hah.

  8. Maybe it has something to do with dark matter or energy? Nah that is an error with our math. Just kidding. Just kidding. What is astonishing to me is just how little we mined with how obsessed we are. Crazy how thin we've always been able to make it. Wait till we get mega lasers using fusion in ten years, and can access deep into earths crust. I also never knew Platinum was worth less than gold now. Shows how ignorant I am. Back on topic. I always thought the theroy was that neutron star super nova were the source of many heavy elements. Not that it came from the previous two generations of stars (Our sun is considered third generation) I wonder if it has something to do with Sol being unusual indirectly. Sol being a 3rd generation star without a sibling, and the way our planets formed with Jupiter being where it is. No super hot Earths closer. I don't think it is totally agreed on why our system is so different. Okay I will leave my dumb at the door. Good day fellas and ladies.

  9. Data centers alone are projected to consume insane amounts of energy. So the micro reactors might make total sense to them. Solar is more vulnerable to things like hail storms. Yet if they can't lower costs of reactors it is not happening. Anyway we should be desiging mini persomal reactors to power exoskeletons or aircraft god damn it. Make a sphere of the best materials we have with a reaction going on it. Then use TPV cells to capture the heat! I think there are materials that give off light that is blinding when heated. Put that in it too so the cells can capture that as well.

  10. Get over it. Get use to it like how I use metric. It isn't hard to at least get a rough estimate. Except Celsius. Celsius sucks.

  11. So would you rather have us paying these guys for nuclear fusion or for weapons? Both have technologies or new processes that advance society even if the end goal isn't achieved. So I don't mind. We have to keep the harder scientist actually employed. I am not convinced fusion is profitable. What I mean is we already have fusion in the sky. Hard to compete with something that is free, over produces, has no maintenance, and all we have to do is capture said fusion.

  12. Hope they team up with the company that makes piped loops that reuses the water or liquid. Lots of nasty stuff down deep from what I hear. Dont want to ruin water tables is all by essentially fracking.

  13. Biological if you ask me! When I played football I would go into this trance I called "in the zone." Similar to a near death experience as well if you've ever had one. Basically time would slow down to crawl and the ball which would take a second to get to me would feel like it took ten seconds. In that time I could see the dew off the grass, reflection of the sun off the helmets, and know where everyone is. My mind and body were one basically! Then it would end as soon as it came. Usually once the play ended or when I realized I'm in a safe spot after actively avoiding a car coming at me. Anyway I say biological because people seem to have more energy and get crazy during full moons. So maybe those periods were during the time a full moon was happening or close to it. I have no proof that it is true but I swear it is and others in the service industry do as well... It just seems busier and more chaotic! More energy!

  14. That is just nonsense. NASA, and contractors aren't robots. Nor are they a collection of supertrained Delta Force super spies. NASA, and the contractors who run programs are full of regular people who love science. Many don't exactly care for the government either. They are civilians. Civilians that aren't always on the same page with each other nor the government. It is hard enough to keep military secrets from gamers. Let alone new life from everyone. That would be the biggest secret in history. Basically short of having wormholes to hell for infinite power at risk of invasion, or some insane thing like that. Imagine what someone rich would be willing to pay for proof of that?

  15. ​ @Jackpkmn White men overwhelmingly paid for, and did the research. Especially historically. I'm pretty sure white men were the ones signing up for test subjects too. So it is no surprise to me that it was like that. We are getting better. Minorities make up a small portion. Blacks just make 12% for example. I wouldn't expect medical research from Ethiopia to be studying Whites or Tibetians, either. These days there aren't excuses for either side. No excuses in these days for minorities and women not to be putting their own impacts by getting into the field or funding it.

  16. What a REBCO? I wonder if iron nitrade magnets will change things. Not for fusion. Just in general. They are more powerful than Neodymium.

  17. I don't understand why this is a significant find. You found a non repeatable pattern. Wow. What do you do with it.

  18. Hah. I don't think plants would do well on Mars. I would say algae would be the best bet, but! I am not sure if Mars sun is good enough. Radiation also is a huge concern for plants on Mars. Not to mention gravity. This is why I think Venus is the better option since it has an atmosphere and gravity. Have some cloud cities! Giant floating outposts. All the energy, and heat you need.

  19. Algae is the primary source of oxygen. Well maybe Dark Oxygen. Just use the machine with nuclear power. Bam, issue solved.

  20. Yeah what if the part where we think the singularity begins actually isn't, and that the true singularity is further into the black hole. Yet there is a sort of grey zone where nothing can reach us, but technically isn't yet trapped or sucked into the singularity. Due to this grey zone it has a ton of matter floating inside being manipulated by insane tempatures and pressures just swirling around. So when a sun falls into the black hole its matter gets mixed up into this cosmic soup, if you will - that with time gives it the necessary conditions to release some of that energy/matter that has been locked. Creating what they see. Or... Dark matter and energy maybe has a role to play in all of it.

  21. ​ @splowski Wait. What. Whoa. Was real close to calling BS. Gold being more than platnium by double? Pfffft, everyone knows platnium is worth much more per ounce. What is this guy saying? Glad I had some trust in a random post, because gold overtook platnium in 2011. That is nuts as someone born in the 80s. Trophies in games and such are lying to me! Platnium shouldn't be the best anymore! I have been deceived! I demand a Californium trophy for Elden Ring damn it. Am I the only one who didn't know this?

  22.  @Prometheus4096  You are right and wrong. Google is already investing in geothermal to power their own things. (I hope millimeter wave drilling takes off as well. I am all for geothermal. ) On the other hand Microsoft signed a deal for nuclear with Helion for a nuclear plant. While Amazon invested in a nuclear plant to draw power from allowing that company to invest. Some crypto firms are looking into nuclear as well. I can't remember which. Some datacenters/servers need to be close to certain areas for a variety of reasons. The cost of AI specifically is going to rise so fast that it might not be feasible to use wind or solar nearby. Both require a ton of space. If companies had it their own way you'd be 100% correct. Cheaper to just use wind or solar, but it isn't always possible, and will be harder as AI requires more power to run. Nuclear in that case looks enticing. SMRs will be perfect for those situations. Especially when you look at the projected numbers of GW used in one place by 2030 to 2050. So what I am saying is solar and wind when possible. With SMRs covering gaps when it isn't possible to purchase enough land. It doesn't need to be one solution. Remember governments and citizens are already raising eyebrows at the demands, and raising power costs in areas these companies operate in. Companies are raising eyebrows at lack of the power companies stepping up, and most likely find it cheaper to build/generate their own power. But we will see! I am all for nuclear, but doesn't seem like any companies can maintain their projected price in the West, and the last thing I want is a lack in saftey. Especislly after what South Korea nuclear has pulled!
