This 3D Printed House Only Cost $13,000 In Materials

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, Elon Musk, habitats

Construction and 3D Printing. This is a really cool video. There is demand for affordable housing, and it can be built and rented out, or just lived in. Imagine if many people where you live are empowered with simple housing. Would it be a waste of money if it can pay for itself?

This is the cool company that makes these cool machines. The USA sent $1 billions in weapons to Ukraine in one month, to a war that costs $1 billion a month. Elon Musk just paid $44 billion for Twitter when a $50 billion investment in affordable housing could net him how much in rental income if the houses cost $15,000 in materials?

Dawe Quantum Teleology. How the future affects the preent. The Two State Vector

Posted by in categories: futurism, quantum physics

The two stage vector interpretation of quantum theory apart from attempting to resolve the paradoxes of traditional quantum theory provides a physical basis for teleology and understanding how there is a small probability that future events affect present ones.

Cellular Automata

Posted by in categories: education, neuroscience

This educational video about cellular automata was filmed, narrated, and edited by Rudy Rucker in 1990, using some “CA Lab” software he worled on at Autodesk. Renamed “Cellab,” the software and manual are available for free on Rucker’s website.

Handwriting Converted to Computer Code

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Cornell University researchers have created an interface that allows users to handwrite and sketch within computer code – a challenge to conventional coding, which typically relies on typing.

The pen-based interface, called Notate, lets users of computational, digital notebooks open drawing canvases and handwrite diagrams within lines of traditional, digitized computer code.

Powered by a deep learning model, the interface bridges handwritten and textual programming contexts: notation in the handwritten diagram can reference textual code and vice versa. For instance, Notate recognizes handwritten programming symbols, like “n”, and then links them up to their typewritten equivalents.
