Reply to Science, technology and innovation is not addressing world’s most urgent problems by nastratin
like smartphone in the hands of most parts of the world = big impact
need bottom up solutions
once we have robots & AI in homes/communities
maybe world can be more sustainable with food energy resource etc
grow food consume build live create digital economy
right now business money in developed countries is beyond basic needs, which is ofc what we want to do to be happy as grown up humans afaik
problem is price of basic needs are going up with rent utilities etc
so if we invest in sustainable basic needs to be even better that can trickle down to all over the world

VR should just be VR imo
real world can be mixed reality for long distance - replacing meetings/video chatting/remote working
augmented reality in the room - replacing projector/monitor/etc
do those things make people happy?
probably need 3rd place but if it's virtual
why does it have to be real while wearing something that makes limitless possible?
if ppl didn't want to escape the confines of reality, it can be done in real world or strict rules simulated like sports games

Reply to A new UN report explores how to make human civilization safe from destruction. There’s a way to make civilization extinction-proof. But it won’t be easy. by mossadnik
it's very tempting to just make a law and enforce it
cause bad thing is still bad no matter what
but core problem is not resolved that way
world's living condition has to be better for everyone over time
if it gets worse who's gonna just say 'it is what it is'
people are going to fight to make it 'better' for themselves
even if it doesn't make sense
data & tech driven standard of living improvement > ruthless competition overworking people as if they're machines
so nothing is worth throwing their lives away in battlefield/etc
injustice so miniscule not worth facing consequences for standing up with conscience
rules actually made for benefit of all so everyone follows it by heart/don't even have to second guess it

if we have the tech to clean up exhaust at the power plant and make it green
then the problem should be minimal i think
nobody knows how to clean up early design of nuclear reactor waste
so they're shutting it down in case of disaster i guess

Reply to Google Pixel Tablet previewed again with novel wireless charging speaker dock. by RenegadeUK
man i thought we'd have AR glasses from google by now
guess that's scrapped for good now
tablet can't replace phone nor computer but somewhere in the middle when you're not at the desk or outside
living room speakers for audio, AR glasses for visual
free to lay back or move around, head and back not stuck slouching in front of screen etc

Reply to The horror has a face - NVIDIA’s hot 12VHPWR adapter for the GeForce RTX 4090 with a built-in breaking point | igor'sLAB by COMPUTER1313
soldering looks like it was done manually
if it's not custom cable, isn't it cheaper and better with automatic machine...
well first iteration so maybe there wasn't one by the deadline who knows
