Took me a little bit this is the article that’s being referenced. It’s late so I’ll look at this tomorrow. First impression is 2.6uW/cm2 is surprisingly high given that a human body doesn’t produce that much energy at rest.
Now, that I think of it: we haven’t had our 2-3 weekly battery revolutions yet, and now it’s Friday already. I mean, what is wrong with all you battery researchers?
No numbers in the article, so I'm going to assume that a modern smartphone would chew through several hundred of these per day and an EV would need a battery the size of a house.
You’re grossly underestimating the skill and coordination required by human hands. Granted that we don’t notice it. But our body has complex neural pathways that do this without constant attention from our conscious mind.
In a potential future conflict, high-value GPS satellites risk being hit or interfered with. If this happens, the loss of GPS could have severe consequences for communication, navigation, and banking systems in the United States.
The worry isn’t that HFT stops working. It’s that it causes a failure state that brings down the legitimate parts of the financial sector.
Like how we’re not worried about AI pilots malfunctioning and being grounded, the same way we’d worry about AI pilots malfunctioning and bombing humans.
I worked in a place where the machine room had a network time device that connected to an attena getting gps reading to give time to all the other hosts. Im pretty sure any ntp server a host has configured is only a hop or two away from a device like this.
Once these get advanced enough and the human cost of starting a conflict goes to zero (because they most likely will be able to scale these to whatever kind of conflict is wanted) why wouldn’t countries be more likely to start a war.
Or if most regular military battles only become an economic problem then why wouldn’t an enemy turn towards more terrorist like attacks like happened in Russia with ISIS.
America’s second-highest ranking military officer, Gen. Paul Selva, advocated Tuesday for “keeping the ethical rules of war in place lest we unleash on humanity a set of robots that we don’t know how to control.”
