but if that could be intregred into the solar panels. they would NOT be so ugly to look at, and that is simply more importent that its WORK proberly. NObody want a BOX on the house top like that. the idear is brilliant, now you have to integrated taht to a normal desig.

Without drastically reducing and or removing co2 from our atmosphere, climate change will destroy our way of life. 300,000,000 people already face critical food shortages . This is ocurring now not in decades in the future.

There can be complex reasons for anxiety and worry, such as PTSD, disability, chronic poverty, housing instability, toxic families, etc. In general, yes, I agree that engaging the mind and body as much as is possible and comfortable will return both short and long term benefits in excess of any synthetic pharma, with none of the negative side effects associated with drugs. I've been physically disabled my whole life, with a fair bit of PTSD and other unresolved "mental plaque", figuratively speaking. But I was able to do many other activities in my youth that helped manage anxiety and stress. Cycling, hiking, gardening, fixing things around the house, fixing my bike. As the disability progressed and I lost all that functionality just as I entered adulthood, I struggled. But still, I try to "do" with non-physical activities as best I can, such as learning programming languages, making websites (client, server, API, database, webhooks), or command line apps (C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript), both on desktop and on Android phones. I even learned how to build Android apps on the Android phone itself. As I've been homeless since the end of February, I spent many cold sleepless nights nights focussed on learning new things. It becomes clear very quickly what is important, as well as the order of importance. Crutches, transportation, money for gas, warmth, a place to relieve yourself, water, food, safety, and something to keep the mind occupied, to avoid distress. The rest are comforts, conveniences, and courtesies to others.

hope you and ur son are ok

Are you ok

miss ya rob hope you are doing ok

.. condolences

A 91% chance of making it happen is damn good in any system.

Most of what can be said about this topic can be found in the book "Life 3.0" by Max Tegmark. Having read this, the conclusions of this movie would be totally different. Despite all remarkable insights Robert gave to this word and to me and for what I am really grateful, here he is not even close to the true problem. Thinking in terms of "computers, just bigger" which we have experienced so far, is naive, irresponsible and dangerous. It shows that Robert has not even begun to understand the subject of AGI. Imagine, something is really dump and stupid and say, has an IQ of 10. Oh, and it is able to improve itself per Iteration for 0.0000001 percent and this rate improves by 0.0000001 percent as it is able to exchange experience with billion other instances of itself. How long would it take on a iteration rate of 100000 times per second to reach an IQ of 500? What would that mean? Currently the maximum difference of Life is about 150. Consider what an 150 IQ owner can do to a 10er.

This questions have a problem we are watching you now! oops! 😂 So you do not want us here anymore? Okay I just love to be here! And disturb with a savant problem! I have a bit anxiety! I see a AC for the battery pack! And like an old car with wheel just spinning in back of it, we need same front same cardan shaft housing but for the airstreem! That about this magnet-bearings with two lid formed for a generator I think we can feed a Newmanmotor on this and help from 16 meters-mast give app. 160 watts! Still I just sit here and make no progress. I do this collecting work on the web for I hope I can one day feed info. To a man like you Robert for make it true! in a VAWT a see Three questions: One durabillity. Two efficiency and Three cost! And in my twisted brain all is solved all but one part! someone like you Robert! /Mikael

This explains the tory benches. 14 years and still nowt done bar tanking the economy.

Great topic Rob. I find the following works: Create a list of tasks that need doing - start with easy tasks and build up - then score it out and experience the joy of completing the task and the experience the momentum of going onto the next task. Great way to overcome anxiety and chunk down work that seems undoable.

It's not talked about very much but there is a widespread Vitamin D3 deficiency occurring right now. Not enough sunlight. D3 incidentally is a natural mood stabilizer. It is considered more of a hormone than a vitamin. Low cost test kits can be bought online.

My fear is that as people stay shuttered in their house all day just doing "virtual" everything... we will just see more and more of this problem. So, yea... my hope is that we start "doing" more over time. Thanks for the video.

The host of "A Craftsman's Legacy", said he went from being a high paid tech to doing work with his hands, and by doing that, he actually recovered from the anxiety he was suffering from.

It's a funny time to be alive. People are losing their minds. People don't want to hear the truth, they want to be freaked out with "everything is a lie!"

word! and keep your judgement over the thing you do (if you need judgment at all) non personal and practical. how close was i able to get to where i wanted to go? what held me back? judging my self always took me out of the "being-lost-in-doing-thing", especially while doing :) cheers. great one again!

I absolutely agree with your assessment that most people with anxiety would benefit from more doing and staying active. However, I know from personal experience that there is a small percentage of the population that have a more severe case of anxiety and will not benefit from this behavioral change alone. They have a neurochemical imbalance that is very likely passed on from their family genetics and is only helped by drug therapy. So, I would say to change your behavior as you suggested and if it is not working seek help from a medical professional who may be able to help you with drug therapy.

I agree with nearly everything you said. Thank you for the encouragement. I particularly like the part about modern people having the illusion that they're too busy. Somehow in people's heads they got some Hollywood-ized imagining of the past as a bunch of laying around in grassy fields smoking with the hobbits or something. Real life used to consist of growing and preserving your own food, harvesting your own wood, cleaning and mending your own clothes by hand, fixing your own cart when it breaks, things like that. Now we work a few defined hours doing the same predictable thing, buy our way out of every need and problem, then sit around complaining about how we're stressed because we have no time and eat a bunch of pills to deal with the effects of sitting around complaining so much.

"Do or do not, there is no try! " yoda. p.s. get off that brain sucking phone too

Thanks for discussing so many subject. I have to deal with people who are judging me for doing things differently and it is anxiety inducing. Nice subject.👍

A mathematician, physicist, and a engineer are all sleeping on the same floor of a hotel. The mathematician wakes up and sees a fire on the floor. He says, “There is a solution” and goes back to bed. The physicist wakes up and sees the fire and says, “At the current conditions it will take x gallons of water for y amount of time to extinguish the fire, and then goes back to bed. The engineer wakes up and sees the fire, he sees the fire extinguisher on the wall. He puts the fire out, and then goes back to bed.

Great to know Rob. But... what percentage of things you don't worry about turn around and bite you in the a&& LOL Cheers

I wonder how many of the the remaining 8.6% who’s worries came true actually brought them on themselves? That can be defined as a success tbh as they got what they wished for!

Rapid iteration always beats a 'right first time' approach.

I blame the popular movie A Christmas Story with the famous line "You'll shoot your eye out kid!" for why so many ppl worry. That and there was a big fear of quick sand during the 80s and 90s for some reason.

Okay, but now someone will worry about the 9%

Yeah! Give it a go! Thanks Rob. ❤

91% of what you worry about not happening just demonstrates that worrying works.

great advice

The folks that commented on the skater bearings, do they not know where these bearings are used? I could be wrong here but, I'm fairly sure a fully grown human will probably weigh more than a few kilograms.

Thank you for the pep talk.

He hit the nail on the head as always. This is pure wisdom.

The world is constantly telling us the glass is half empty. Thats why I love your channels. They are the antidote. 😊👍👍 On the other hand, a 1 in 10 chance of getting your hand caught in a blender is too high an odds for me! 🤣

Its the stuff in-between the worries that actually happens. Need to be prepared for those also. I have a new turbine up.

What people call "AI" today is still using the same principles as the software from the 80's like "Lisa" or "Racter". The software seemed aware and intelligent but never was and never will be. It's nothing more than a purely mechanical sequence of conditional statements to compare the input with a finite amount of existing data and predictably output the nearest match in a grammatically proper fashion. If a computer says "Hi, my name is Victor, what is your name?" it's our natural tendency to anthropomorphize that pile of silicone and quickly forget that it's only following instructions, just like those annoying androids who insist on doing the wrong thing because it is "company policy". The only real difference I see in current "AI" or more precisely "FI" (fake intelligence) is the massive amount of data, computing power, and hype thrown at it. No improvements leading to any form of creative thinking. A bigger hammer and chisel.

Every (naugthy) kid is kind of a proto-scientist. What if we were to...

Science is abserving and recording and sharing what you saw.

I thought Jean Picard was the Enterprise's Captain? In Grade 7 we memorized the definition of Science which has been a mainstay of mine for over 46 years and is still true today... Science is- Knowledge of facts, phenomenon, laws, approximate causes, gained and verified by organized experiments, exact observations, and correct thinking. If it is not any part of the definition it is not science!

I think it is unfortunate that so many people don't appreciate the difference between science and engineering where science is about developing knowledge about the world and engineering is using that knowledge to do something (like run a motor). Sometimes we know what we want to do and seek the knowledge about how to do that, but often we just want to know and only very later find that such specific knowledge is useful to make something. This is especially true of mathematics that is originated because someone thought it was interesting, only to be found to be useful in practice hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years later.

Science is the new religion of the State. Want to shove lower living standards on the people. Declare that the science requires it to happen.

Weapons manufacturers are adding guns, bombs & AI to drones & spot "dog" bots. In a world with common sense no decision should be made by something/someone that can't face real consequences. But when has that ever come in the way of making a killing both in profits & lives ?

Thanks for the video. Yes, this conversation is happening a lot in AI circles. At least from the public versions of AI, I agree with you -- And we have to be very careful not to believe everything we read or are told ...including from AI. (I can't count how many times AI has simply given me the wrong answer.) Nevertheless I do find AI to be a very useful tool for helping me to solve various issues or to learn about a subject. The real problem becomes when it tells you something that is wrong... and catching the mistakes. I think my biggest fear with AI, is that humanity becomes complacent... so we really need to be leaders in revitalizing inventiveness like what you are doing with this channel. I am worried about the possibility of sentient AI in the future. I don't think we are there yet, but it might be possible 20 years... depending. Robots will become more common place in 5 to 10 years, and we will see more miniaturization of the chips that power the AI logic systems, and just like you said, they don't "sense" the universe the way we do, but once they are "connected" to more sensors and can "see", "hear", and "feel" -- as well as move around in the world, there is a fair chance we will get to see the birth of sentient AI -- it might take 20 years, Hard to say really. The other important thing that we are really going to have to grapple with is the "recognition" of that event... because when it happens we might very well be so used to saying that it is not alive, that we believe that as well. Nevertheless, I do agree with you that at least right now,... we are not there. These models are fairly simplistic in how they work... they are "prediction" machines, with little to no true understanding of the environment or world around them. But, that will change when the AI gets sensors., increased chip capacity, etc.

People shouldn't worry because if AI were to become more intelligent than us - we would never know. A lesser intelligence often can't resolve the existence of, let alone the intent of, a greater one. Ask yourself if an earthworm 'gets' you or why nobody can prove the existence of God. And it's unlikely it would exterminate us, we're an abundant resource, it would more likely just use us in a manner that's beyond our cognition, it may even intercept our perception models & make us believe we're the ones controlling it, in order to elicit our volition. The right question may not be; when will it take over, but when did it? There is an example of exploiting self-perception already - happy voting UK!

This is amazing. I'm just refreshing "Tales of Pirx the Pilot" by Lem. And I just finished a story called "The Conditioned Reflex". It is exactly about the same thing you are talking right now - people trusting machines unconditionally. Love such coincidences 😁 Previous two books I just finished a couple days ago, were Feynman stories. And yesterday Dr. Ben Miles uploaded a clip about how finally a Feymnan Sprinkler problem was solved. This story is in the first book "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman". Anyone who wants some good science stories, should take a look 😊

Half the time, humans aren't self aware and what is self awareness any how? Is a pet self aware? It does think but is it self aware? At what level do we see self awareness as being a thing? The military is proving that AI doesn't need to be self aware to hurt and kill humans. Self driving cars don't need to be self aware to perform the task that is required of them. All that needs to happen is to task AI to protect humanity. It may decide in its logic that the best way to protect humans would be to chuck them all in a box and snap a lock on it. It has performed its task without ever being self aware but the result is still what everyone is afraid of. I think feelings is what makes us self aware and at this point, AI doesn't have those. Only if AI had feelings could it ask itself if chucking humans into a lock box is in their best interest.

The issue is that we as a species are not ready for AI to actually be impactful (like performing human tasks/duties instead of humans). We are too set in the ruts of capitalism, and we haven't even properly adjusted to the industrial revolution(s), let alone the atomic revolution or the information age. I wish I could be optimistic about it, I really wish I could.
