All of them have metal bodies and some of these are even weather sealed and have AF.

I don’t understand people’s obsession with plastic vs metal lenses. I have 10+ year old plastic and metal lenses and all are fine. I once dropped a plastic lens and it rolled about 20 feet down a steep gravel and stone driveway. No issues other than some scuffs on the exterior, and I’ve used it for years and years since.

For truly old lenses - 50 years or more like you mention - mildew and fogging seem more likely to be a problem than plastic aging. Plus, lenses of that age are often of limited real-world use anyway given the developments in cameras.

What you are describing is called a "mirrorless" camera which is what the article says will be the future. They also have interchangeable lenses, but there are less constraints on the design since they don't have to interface with another optical system, just the digital sensor, which is the main point the article is trying to make.

What’s interesting is that in their letter they don’t provide any data to refute what was said, they simply use their profession as a resin they should be listened to. This kind of cancel culture is outrageous. They pretend that Joe Rogan wouldn’t hear their side of the story if they prepared an actual refutation with the data to back it up. Even in the article itself it shows Joe already heard from opposing opinions so why write this letter except to cancel someone they don’t like?
Consider on the low end ((2.17-.25)% per 1.7 mm thick) this works out to 88.6 mm for 100% coverage or around 3.5 inches.

I'm wondering whether the fungus could actually be grown to various thicknesses, or is 1.7mm kind of its natural thickness? Might need a layer system of some sort.

I'm really thinking I should burn some time on learning about fungi and bacteria. It'd be cool if there were some ecosystem of them capable of taking in human waste as input and outputting useful things like cleaner water and shielding.

Ultimately, almost no view is universally heretical since it has to be entirely novel and few people are capable of that.

A truly universal idea that is heretical to start with rapidly gets a cult following because of human novelty impulses and our meme replication ability.

Therefore, most useful heretical ideas likely are/were heretical in some place at some time. The lab leak hypothesis earlier on. Kneeling at a football game. Things like that.

In a temporal sense, interesting heretical ideas suffer from either the Seinfeld isn’t funny effect or from othering different cultures.

I would contend that I have a truly unique heretical idea for the domestic US at this specific time. I hope to build an organ sale marketplace where people sell their own organs at their death.

There's space for what I call bottom feeder ideas. These are the multimillion dollars that VC money won't fund because their model needs a billion dollar hit to break even. Most of these can't hire teams of people.

This could be a better hardware store, some kind of directory, better notekeeping, some kind of text based dating app. I made good money off a recipe app. A lot of the world still runs on spreadsheets, when they shouldn't have to. The key to this is to have a niche enough interest, to get to a point that you see something that should obviously be solved with tech but isn't.

AI opens up a lot of opportunities for automating routine mental tasks. Robots did a good job of automating manual tasks. We still have things like ghostwriting and brainstorming names and designs. Robots do not assemble 100% of a car or chocolate bar, but they do a lot. Right now, AI is doing 0% of some of these, when there's plenty of potential to do 20% or even 70% of the work. People get too hung up on getting it to do all the work. AI won't replace comedians, but it will help them write jokes.

You also can't write a good joke-writing AI unless you have an existing process for writing jokes. So you need to somehow be in the top 20% for comedy writing and 20% of AI development to do this. That's quite a niche. And also not something you can outsource to a team.

The future is in completely abandoning residential gas infrastructure, which will have immense benefits in allowing us to stop maintaining and expanding millions and millions of miles of leaky underground pipes. No amount of tweaking the mixture will change the fact that electricity is broadly useful for everything, and that gas is only useful for a small number of things that are quickly being overtaken by electricity.

Hell, if we had devices that could instantly summon sufficient quantities of water from thin air, I'd get rid of my water hookup, too, even though water lines aren't nearly as bad for the atmosphere as gas lines are.

Yeah, it isnt quite like a carbon steel wok but most people in North America wont have a a wok burner to hold the round bottom so they need the flat part.

You also definitely cant cook in them quite like a wok since as you say the cast iron holds so much heat. I usually just get it real hot on the burner for 5 or 6 minutes and then stir fry something. You have to take the food out when it is ready though because moving so much iron off the burner doesn't cool it down as quick.

> can't the digital sensor directly show the image on screen

A bunch of them do - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_viewfinder - but a screen or viewfinder isn't going to have the same kind of resolution as your eyes when you're trying to judge focus/DoF/etc.
A digital camera doesn’t need a prism…anymore. When DSLRs first came to market two decades ago, they didn’t do video. Even if they did, the batteries at the time wouldn’t have held up for long shoots for weddings, sporting events, etc if they were showing video in the screen.

As the article states, the move to mirrorless cameras is now pretty much a given. Canon announced their latest DSLR will be the last.

It's in a geostationary orbit at 140.7 degrees east, roughly in line with the east coast of Japan, and about 35 degrees west of the volcano, so it always has the volcano in view. It has an imaging sensor which continuously scans the whole visible disc of the earth, taking ten minutes to do so [1]. So, you get pictures of anything that happens, anywhere!

> Do you examine all of your generated machine code to ensure that it generates correct code?

(not OP). I examine the output if someone tells me it's slower, or if I care about performance. I did a very rough benchmark which says in this case they're equivalent [0], however that's not necessarily representative of the places it's called in. There's definitely a compile time overhead though [1]. On my current project there's ~20k files. On an 8 core machine (as an example), adding 150ms per file would add 7 minutes onto a clean build (before optimising the builds).

Your viewpoint is at a more broad level than mine. I definitely think arts benefit society, which is in line with what you're saying.

But at a human level, those who unsuccessfully pursue the arts suffer. With their most productive years spent unfruitfully, their late lives seem difficult. Often, they haven't saved anything for retirement and need to toil in menial labor until their bones crumble to dust. Especially later in life, providing for others, especially one's children, becomes increasingly important. I see a lot of my artist friends struggle emotionally because they don't have the means to give their children certain opportunities.

Comparing musicians to startups is interesting. To continue the analogy, if you're not finding product-market-fit, then it might be time to pivot :)
I've been on the other side. My company was only promoting from within, and honestly it wasn't working. The engineering department was filled with people with IC only contributions, and no one knew how to manage or could mentor others. They knew it wasn't really working, but didn't know what to do/change.

At some point they hired someone external, and damn, he was amazing and could mentor the other managers. Sadly, he left quickly.
I think it’s more likely that we’ll see carbon taxes make it prohibitively expensive than the cost of production itself. In Canada, we’ve got a tax going up to $170/ton by 2030. If most homes go fully electric, I bet that goes up even further.
The largest market of photography dilettentes (like me) switched to phone. Most people just want a shitload of bokeh (real or software), sharp wide angle without a lot of distortion and ability to zoom without losing too much detail.

Look it up.

> According to an archived version of the dictionary's website, Merriam-Webster formerly said a "vaccine" was "a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease."

> The new definition of "vaccine", published in May, reads: "a preparation that is administered – as by injection – to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease."

A vaccine that doesn't provide immunity - in other words, not a vaccine, but instead of admitting that, let's change the definition.

Statelessness is communism’s endgame which it never actually archives.
Several reasons:

* Until fairly recently, cameras couldn't focus well using just the sensor. The simple sensor-based focusing is based on contrast, and the problem with the method is that the camera can't tell whether it's as focused as it can get, or in which direction should focus be changed. So the camera constantly "hunts". You can see that happening a lot on youtube with people trying to show stuff from close (eg, Bosnian Bill, AvE very often have this problem).

* Phase focusing fixes this issue, but initially couldn't be incorporated into the sensor. The mirror in DSLRs bounces light into the better focus detectors, which are located on the bottom of the camera. Here's an illustration of the system: https://photographylife.com/how-phase-detection-autofocus-wo...

* Sensors get hot when they're constantly lit. Cameras refuse to keep taking pictures when it overheats. A DSLR's sensor can cool off while the mirror is blocking it.

* Sometimes the viewfinder is the better way, eg, if the LCD can't overpower the sun. Making a good digital viewfinder is harder than just optics.

* An optical viewfinder has no lag and almost zero battery usage

But yes, mirrorless is definitely the future. The DSLR was a technical compromise, and in fact mirrorless has advantages of its own:

* As this article says, DSLRs require a large separation between the sensor and lens to make room for the mirror, and that makes some kinds of lenses hard to design. Mirrorless cameras can use whatever distance works best.

* Also, the mirror is a pretty delicate, very quickly moving piece that creates vibration, and this needs taking into account. It's common to incorporate a delay to allow for vibration to settle, or to use a special mode where the mirror is permanently kept up for the cases in which vibration needs to be minimized. Mirrorless cameras don't have a moving mirror, so this is not an issue.

And yet the future is all about Identity politics. It's an optimization problem really. Recent crises show that liberal democracy can no longer serve the needs of individuals that have increasingly more freedoms (partly thanks to technology) and who are no longer willing to compromise with large groups. The challenge is going to be how to build political systems that simultaneously cater to all the various identity dimensions of citizens, while at the same time avoiding the oppression of 50% by the other 50%, as happens in democracies. This is a technological problem (after all democracy itself was technology), and interestingly many of the decentralized projects aim to solve parts of it. What seems to be lacking is an integrated understanding of all such parts.

Hmm. Dealing with Pu dust is a well known problem. Nobody knows exactly why, but Pu dust has an amazing capability to rapidly contaminate things. Best guess is that the high alpha activity of Pu produces a lot of recoil events propelling the Pu dust particle around (increasing it's diffusion constant, if you will).

> On paper nitride fuels are very high performing but I have no idea what goes into making them.

It's in some respects similar to making oxide fuels, you first somehow create microgranules (hopefully evenly sized) of the fuel which you then sinter into pellets. Nitrides, however, present several additional challenges. But it seems that these are not insurmountable problems, it's just that oxides have a large head start; and nitrides not being compatible with LWR's doesn't help finding R&D money either. Here's a recent overview: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6267113/

Personally I'm somewhat bullish on nitrides, if large-scale use of metal cooled reactors ever becomes a thing, that is.
