Quieter and more control over one's illumination. Interesting or unboring area. Some versions may be cheaper than rooms.

YT is in the arms race against ad blockers and ironically making ads more and more frequent and annoying. But I wouldn't mind ads, especially if I fall asleep during a video, if the ads were muted. I could watch a video, realize an ad came on, do something else, and wait for the audio to come back to know it's time to resume watching.

A silencer is a compromise between prioritizing myself and supporting the content creators I enjoy.

I have realized the fact that public opinion, reputation and dignity don't exist and what I mean by this is that these terms are used in society to put pressure on people and create insecurities, ruin people and destroy them by making them worry about the opinion of others which btw even ur friends aren't permanent because of changing interests what not. So the fact is you shouldn't worry about what others have to say, a dark harsh truth is that your nephew won't know much about you if anything. Life is short and unpredictable and I live it happy, I enjoy my own company, I don't need other people to be happy im happy because I am strong and resilient and im proud of myself because of that, you have to live in the present, enjoy the present, enjoy the moment. Im not a slave of others, im independent of others even if 100 million people hate me I'll still smile, I will smile because I know im king regardless of what others have to say about me and you can easily disconnect and ignore everything, say to yourself im king and I don't care about what others have to say. Heck, even what im writing here is worthless scribbles and letters that make sense because you value them, they don't want society to understand this truth, they want young men to fight over reputation, over girls that don't even like em because we value people who don't reciprocate feelings basically less is more (another manipulation technique) the media, fake analysts want kids and students to have depression, why because they tell people to value words, so when someone say insults you in class the media and society wants you to suffer and think about that insult 24 hours when you can simply say thanks for ur opinion don't give a shit and live your life happy, they're like but oh people heard that and now your weaker and they want you to feel bullied inferior because you got insulted, because you heard some meaningless sounds. Its all up to interpretations, you can choose to be happy and Confident in yourself and tell yourself that you deserve the best regardless of what others say. Shame on society, shame on them for wanting to slave young students and kids with their approval system. So what the majority of the corrupt don't approve you remember god loves us all equally, people are true animals

Ability to use standard tracks for less surface pressure to avoid sinking to soft ground. Longevity of tracks increases.

By the way, if it is diesel-electric hybrid or full-electric, it can go underwater better, to drive on the bottom. Crossing a river underwater in autonomous mode usually needs just following a compass. Sometimes may need acoustic beacons for calculating positions and sometimes may need the bottom 3d-mapped with a sonar in boat. If the bottom is unsuitable for driving, one option - instead of floats - is to use 4 propellers that keep the vehicle up and moving like quadcopter drones, but underwater.

Could work with 3 or 4 rows of wheels too, but would be even more tricky.

One of the things that I always hated about streaming services is that you become cutoff from weather, traffic, and news that you hear during your daily commute. FM (or AM) being the alternative is terrible because of all the commercials and repetitive songs you are tired of hearing.

I always thought streaming services should have a "local" DJ giving traffic updates in cities like local radio stations have. You could opt in to new, weather, sports, traffic, etc. updates every 10 minutes or so. Between songs on your playlist, you would hear a DJ giving you the updates you chose at the frequency of your choosing. It wouldn't matter what genre you are listening, the same DJ could be used for an entire city. Or, maybe an AI DJ? You could even tailor the accent for specific cities or the genre you're listing to.

Just a thought. Spotify, please DM me for my contact info for my royalty checks lol.

Hello i have a large scale fintech idea if you are interested to hear it and you have funds inbox me...

A quick thought sprung to mind.

I remember my experiences with antipsychotics. I lost my identity, my ability to think coherently, to learn, to feel good about learning, and feel in general. Almost as though I experienced artificial retardation.

I wonder if a lot of folks with intellectual disabilities can be seen in a similar light? They don’t get a lot of stimulation in the same way that other people do, and may be emotionally muted, therefore they have no mechanisms which promote a yearning to know?

Wondering what y’all’s thoughts are on this idea, which I don’t think has been investigated before.

Ive a lampux lightbulb for my alexa, its worked for months with 5 gz but tosay it just stopped and i cant fix it, my disc is callumpoo89 if i do t reapond

Problem:

1. There are many people in this world who has passport that gives them very limited amount of country to travel to.

2. Flight ticket and hotels are expensive.

Solution:

Use internet to send feed to users AR/VR headset. The user does not really travel to the destination. But rather rent a person , or a robot (if teachnology has reached that point) and the user will control that person or robot by telling it where to go using high speed internet . If its a person that person can actually act as a tour guide an narrate history of famous places to the user, through high speed internet, feeds will be sent back to the user's VR/AR headset and its almost like you are there, without expensive visa application fee, hotel, flight ticket and nightmare scenario where you get suspected of something and is denied entry.

The technology definitely exists but i am curious how is it no one have thought of this before?

I got this lamp in Italy but foolishly forgot to ask what light bulb I needed… looks like I can’t attach a photo in this sub. There is no marking indicating what bulb I need. Does anyone know what light bulb may work? It is a tiny ceramic table lamp. Thank you!!!!

Some restaurant company should take the chicken al pastor recipe that Chipotle used and put it permanently on their menu. Maybe like Pollo tropical or something like that?

I would prefer that Chipotle themselves added to their permanent menu, but if it they're incapable of doing so then another company needs to step in. Pollo tropical, Panda Express, who else can grill the chicken, make the sauce, and combine it for chicken al pastor

I actually have quite a few ideas, but here's one that I'm particular proud of and which I think most people could understand if they took a minute:

Light has a property of phase and in the course of phasing, individual photons rotate in a direction which is opposed to the direction of movement of phase i.e. it is counter-Magnusian. So long as a photon or electron is spinning, it has discrete magnetism. When a photon or electron does not spin, it has not discrete magnetism and, much like a knuckleball thrown by a pitcher, a spinless photon or electron tends to be extremely vulnerable to outside influences, making these spinless photons useful as magnetometers in their own right, although that is a separate invention.

Each time a wave of light phases, it occurred to me that this spin likely pauses at the crests of these waves for a brief moment in time. It therefore also occurred to me that when light is scattered by atmosphere that the scattering is primarily occurring at the peaks in phase and tends not to occur during other parts of the phase. Under the influence of the magnetic fields of the electrons in the atmospheric molecules, light is scattered primarily because it has these pauses in spin whereas the spin of the electrons in the molecules is constant.

Thus, I asked myself, what if there was a way to ensure that the spin of the photons was ceaseless? I had read about something called helical electromagnetism which we've only recently begun to explore for the purposes of microscopy as well as anti-jamming (helical signals can easily be accepted by a multi-layered detector which can filter out signals based both upon angular momentum and degree of helicity.)

Extant methods for generating helical EM depend upon alternating electromagnets which cannot alternate with sufficient rapidity to generate IR or visible-band light. I therefore conceptualized a prism which would be capable of taking single-mode light and converting it into helical light in the following way:

A prismatic track which gradually redirects light by 90 degrees of direction which starts out as narrow, becomes wider and re-narrows (looks very much like a wall brace used for holding up shelving units) takes input light and rotates; through solid-state magnetic actuation; its polarity as it travels through the prism. The more distance the light must traverse, the more the polarity is rotated. Naturally, given the shape of the prism, some light must take a longer path and thus takes longer to arrive at the exit aperture, which is equally as narrow as the entry aperture. At the point of re-integration, light of different polarities comes into close proximity and forms a coherent helical beam. In other words, it "snaps back in." Once this beam is generated, it resists atmospheric scattering. This has profound implications for LASER-based missile defense, LASER-based communications and for the effective range of LiDAR imaging, which was previously limited by atmospheric scattering. My abstract on this topic can be found in the publication of 19 October 2023.

Now under development by Saint Petersburg State University, Southern Federal University and the Kurchatov Institute after being rejected by the University of Colorado and dozens of other American universities. Go figure.

Mini camera and microphone that can be attached to various devices. It can be tucked away in an earbuds charging case for safekeeping. Once removed, it can magnetically (or like a lego piece if it needs a more secure fit) attach to the top of your phone to get a rear- or front-facing camera. It can also attach to the top of your laptop to act as a webcam (either facing). You can attach it to a home assistant for passive listening for verbal commands.

The privacy feature for all of these is that you can yoink the camera and mic off from any device and that device would no longer have the eyes or ears to spy on you. If you remove it from your home assistant and put it on your laptop, Alexa won't be able to listen in on your Zoom session.

Another benefit is modularity. If you want to upgrade the camera on your phone, you don't have to buy a whole new phone, because they are separate. Also, camera can face both ways. No need for two cameras. iPad? No more unsightly camera bump. MacBook? Camera notch be gone!

Enter budget (and maybe some other goals) then when you are out shopping (or even online), scan the bar code to see if its a good purchase - this model could weigh a couple considerations.

Also, suggest alternatives.

I am a software dev and think this is pretty doable - just need some feedback and I could get started. (likely takes multiple devs to get the app published and running)

In a nutshell: its a combination of budgeting and price comparison - I think the key is that it combines the two with YOUR pocketbook/priorities in mind.

PS does anything like this exists exactly? I know the barcode scanning software is widespread (for chekcing food labels) and so are budgeting apps. This intersection can also looks for healthier options (I havent seen super prolific anywhere). But also think about scanning clothes tags and stuff *kind of like honey IRL*

I need a smart light bulb with "Sunrise Simulation" aka slowly lighting up in the morning before my alarm clock goes off.

One problem with using wired headphones is that when it dangles over the keyboard, it obstructs the keys and hands. So the idea is to put the headphone cord underneath the keyboard by having little indentation to pass the cord underneath (for example, underneath the space bar). This way, putting the keyboard on top of the headphone cord doesn't create an unbalanced keyboard, and doesn't apply unnecessary pressure on the headphone cord.

Bad breath could possibly be cured by one simple tablet that dissolves as it goes down our throats, cleaning it. It will significantly reduce the aftertaste of onion, and even the most stubborn of aftertastes! It could also have an added benefit of ridding you of your nightly acid reflux.

Note: Revised version from previous post.

I think they should make a horror movie that portrays what Reddit would look like if it was real life.

The protagonist is a high school or college student. They frequently voice their opinions in social settings (and even academic settings such as debate clubs).

However sometimes, they might say something that not everyone agrees with. And when that happens, the entire world instantly becomes silent and dark. And then everyone around you stares at you in an eerie cult-like manner. Their eyes turn red, and they are just dark figures in the distance. This is process of being downvoted. But it's a temporary experience, and then the world resumes back to normal. However the world now seems slightly gloomier than before.

That is because the downvotes remain on the protagonist. It keeps building up. The more times this happens, the gloomier the world seems to become.

But even scarier is the effect it has on the protagonist. The more downvotes the protagonist accummulates, the more translucent and less-real they become. With enough downvotes, people will no longer even acknowledge them. They might say "Hi" to their friends, but the friends don't see anything....they just shudder as if they felt a cold chill in the air. This is what happens when the downvotes get so high, that you are shadow banned from existence itself.

fiber optic touch sensor for humanoid robots. it is plastic tubes that has a laser sent down to see where it is compressed to sense touch in certain areas. there is convolution neural net in it to detect laser and how dim it is.

Imagine a high school or college setting. The teacher asks a question, and one student voices their opinion. As soon as you voice your opinion, everyone looks at you and you can see downvotes flying at you in an eerie manner. The more downvotes you get, the spookier the background music becomes. The downvotes swim around you while the Jaws soudntrack plays.

And you can feel the hate stares and the downvotes flying at you from those stares.

This would be useful in desktop PCs or applications where there are a lot of different DC rails. Since each representation of a number in base n is unique, it could be impossible to plug a connector into the wrong rail.

Drinking it may be gross, but you shoot it down. For all those people who are sick of these incredibly sugary and supposedly "healthy" smoothies drinks.

I have lightbulbs with imprints Philips GU10 50W 120V 40D. What does the 40D means here? Thx.

Yes yes, that's what a book is. But suddenly the notion of combining the clarity of subs with the coziness of audiobooks begins to seem increasingly appealing to you.

What if there was a game like bloons (it's a tower defence game) but instead of monkeys popping balloons it was something else... i don't...

A chip can sense the electric fields coming from single axons and another chip can cause nerve signals in specific axons by making patterns of electric fields on it's surface. No current needs to flow between the chip and nerve.

If needed, the receive and (re)send functions can be in one chip surface, but last time I heard, biology says that nerves do only one or other for a direction, so the signals go in same direction. But better be prepared for surprises, so at least the first prototypes should be bi-directional and if it is later confirmed that biology was indeed correct, then drop that feature from later models.

It is a matter of software how the receive and send functions (or camera and send function in the case of blind) are connected and with what kind of interface the patient should assign axons to axons or image parts(angles relative to field of view center, moves, colors etc.) to axons. There is lot to figure out and the first patients need to carry a general purpose computer to handle all the signals, while the software is developed and refined. When the software is good enough, it becomes possible to make special chips that handle all that processing, saving weight and energy.

If patients need years of work to make a configuration that enables something, it is acceptable(random or semi-random signal patterns can keep the axons alive). But it may be much faster. We don't know what the user interfaces for patients could be. We don't know how randomly arranged the axons in optic nerve are and how much relation there is between angle and position in the nerve bundle. Even if axons in optic nerve are perfectly randomized, like a well mixed pack of cards, there may be efficient ways to gradually sort them to good order, that enables at least mediocre vision (with optical+software zoom).

For example, placing 3 dots randomly usually makes a triangle. 4th dot is either in or out of that triangle. Answering that kind of in or out question may take 1 second with a button. 8 hours have 28800 seconds. Doing that every day for 30 days gives 864000 answers. Once there is enough resolution, a mouse cursor can be used for answering what previously known point is closest to a new point.

One-eyed patients would be easiest for the development phase. But they may not have enough motivation, so they would have to get paid?

Thicknesses of axons may provide some vague clues about their specific purpose or meaning, speeding up the configuration.
