Its waiting on room temp superconductors I believe. Otherwise you have to cool a 1000km of cable and of course the material needs to be reasonable ductable. And dont hold your breath on room temperature superconductors, it may not even be p

I like the epilogue. I too wish I could go back to my younger self and describe this understanding. I would try to explain to myself that each pattern can be seen as an object in and of itself. That an algorithm is a way to move between the

I get really tired of these ignorant psuedo sceptic responses. It's so obviously a straw man attack it makes me cringe. Why are you so set on assuming that it is violating conservation of momentum? No one of import is claiming this. My

Oh no no. Thats not how it works at all. People only look in places where they expect to find things. Thats why we dont rub sticks together all day when building a nuclear reactor. Its also why it can take centuries to correct mistaken scie

I saw it in london once. I failed the test so badly that the interviewer refused to believe that I had written the demo project which got me a first interview. He said it was one of the best he had ever seen. But then said I couldn't h
