in a few short years quantum computing will be so advanced that all of a sudden there will be about 7 billion people too many on the planet... a surplus of humans... i wonder what the plan is for what to do with 7 billion humans that are no longer needed on this planet....????
NAACP files suit over California fire damage. I love it when the left eats itself.
I leave some negative comments, I have to apologize the majority of the time I love this podcast
It seems like the guest sees climate change wherever he sees something negative, he is training people to see climate change. this is not going to convince anybody, It is a big mistake
guest needs to learn about lethality halving, poor analytical thinking
Great episode, which highlights the role of machine learning algorithms in processing vast amounts of data and identifying potential signals from outer space. Exploring the application of machine learning in the pursuit of understanding the universe is both intriguing and thought-provoking. On a related note, I encourage you to check out this article https://www.the-next-tech.com/development/the-vital-role-of-data-annotation-in-ai-development/. This informative piece discusses the crucial role of data annotation in training AI models effectively. Data annotation involves labeling and annotating data to provide the necessary context and structure for machine learning algorithms. Understanding the significance of data annotation is essential for anyone involved in AI development.
One novel solution for the future would be to set up quantum computing clusters on cold planets and bodies throughout the solar system. You could then use this solar system wide processing power to do tasks for spacecraft and other computer systems throughout the solar system and on earth using cloud computing expanded to the solar system scale. Give me credit when this idea is used in the distant future.
