Africa Needs Electricity Now More Than Ever, Especially To Keep

admin May 2, 2021

Solar energy conjures up images of solar panels on rooftops. The depiction is especially true in Africa, where about 600 million people are without reliable access to power — power to keep the lights on and power to keep the COVID-19 vaccine frozen. Africa’s economy has experienced solid growth at an average of 3.7% throughout the continent. That expansion can be fueled even more with solar-based electrons and the absence of CO2 emissions. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), as many as 30 countries in Africa have electricity outages because supply lags demand. “The reliability of the grid is a major readmore

admin May 2, 2021

Oops, Joe Rogan did it again. While it’s not fair to characterize Rogan as “anti-vaxx,” he did repeat a misconception about the Covid-19 vaccine. Not once but twice. Back on the April 23 episode of his popular Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan had said, “I’ve said, yeah, I think for the most part it's safe to get vaccinated. I do. I do. But if you're like 21 years old, and you say to me, should I get vaccinated? I'll go no.” The following tweet included a clip of what Rogan, a comedian, podcaster, and Ultimate readmore

One Of The Best First-Person Shooters Ever Made Is Free

admin May 1, 2021

What can I say about Titanfall 2? It was criminally underrated. It didn’t sell nearly enough copies thanks to the fact that EA released it at the wrong time and didn’t market the game nearly enough. It’s one of the only games I’ve given a perfect score to, in part because its campaign is absolutely phenomenal; in part because its multiplayer is damn near exquisite. In my review I concluded: Alas, competition was not fierce and Battlefield 1 and Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare carried the day, while Titanfall 2 fell into critically acclaimed obscurity. Now, Respawn’s wall-running, readmore

There has been a lot of talk recently about a study published in Nature last week, which surveyed Californian EV owners and found that one in five went back to internal combustion after bad experiences with electric. Their chief reason was the hassle of charging. This has of course been picked up by journalistic publications as evidence that EVs are problematic. However, there are some obvious issues with the reasoning, and the study on which it is based. Charging an EV publicly is more hassle than putting fuel in an internal combustion car, but is it really such a dealbreaker? readmore

The World’s First Robotics Venture Factory Is On ‘Robot Island’

admin April 29, 2021

There are more than 10,000 robot companies in China. Reportedly, less than 5% of them are doing well. But what if they didn’t all have to reinvent the wheel? Or the servomotor. Or computer vision, spatial recognition, natural language processing, gripping, navigating, or any of a host of different problems that robots need to understand in order to be useful. What if they only had to learn the specific pieces of functionality that are unique to their specific set of tasks? “70% [of each robot’s software stack] is generic; 30% is very specialized,” Blue Ocean Robotics CEO Claus Risager told me recently readmore
