A pretty slick classic device keeps the candle from burning all night. Those folks in the past seemed to think of a lot of things we take for granted daily.

turns out it classifies what audio it hears, before reporting back to samsung. sensor preferences, dog-barking and baby-crying event counters, and camera streaming duration are built into telemetry paths.

this is pretty evil and clever. so if your samsung TV model doesnt have a microphone, it will look for connected devices with one, such as a soundbar or a connected bluetooth device. this gets shipped off to bixby.

Readily available resources used to satisfy unmet desires. As the desires are satisfied the requirements will increase driving building new solutions with other readily available resources. #Innovation

Quite quick and uniquely handmade. Maybe faster than a CNC. He is using same personal protection equipment, he would benefit from hearing protection and eye protection could reduce risk. Nice business for the guy. I hope he makes a decent profit for his time.

In Matmata, Tunisia, people have lived in underground homes for hundreds of years, with rooms carved into deep pits and connected by tunnels.

Bias is a fundamental error in all big data based systems. Predictive Innovation is immune from bias because it uses First Principles derived from mathematical proofs to map the entire idea space and purposely exposes holes & contradictions.

Choose biased data to train the LLM and you get a biased model. Tilt the training to rank the biased data higher and you get biased models.

I did this Predictive Innovation Alternatives mapping technique to describe liquid dielectric capacitors prior to discovery by researchers at MIT.

PI Alternatives can identify undiscovered effects / phenomena. Probably the most effective way is to categorize all known phenomena for a type such as electricity. If any of the 216 are missing that is a new discovery waiting.

Using physics principles I described how to repair a concrete house in the Philippines to protect it from earthquakes. They fed my description to ChapGPT and it drew precise photo. #geometry #design #maker #AI

Anything you can make or do, you must be able to describe. If you can't describe it, you can't make or do it. Computer science relies on functionally complete languages for programming. To describe anything you can make or do, you need a descriptively complete language.

Right is right even if no one including you is not doing it. Being first is hard. Being second triggers a movement.

Sadly I see zero evidence universal high income is an outcome at all. Not because it isn't possible with emerging technology, it is. I've promoted abundance for 30 years. The problem is the societally structures are built to enslave the weak and weaken all but the tyrants.

What we need is Universal Personal Ownership. That allows high production highly fitting desires. It also encourages responsibility which ensures & promotes future productivity.

This needs tactile & audio from the cab. Adding more & better sensors is possible. Augment the operator instead of replacing.

The future of construction is changing. Workers can now remotely operate towering cranes from the safety and comfort of a control room, without having to climb hundreds of feet above the ground.
