regram @curiositydotcom Although #photons don’t have #mass, they can still impart #momentum. #Solar #sails rely on this fact to #accelerate continuously on their journeys through #space, reflecting photons off of their paper-thin surfaces to push themselves onward. Though they start slow, after a few years, the sails can travel at astonishing speeds. What’s more, they don’t need to carry any #fuel with them (though some may come equipped with lasers to provide photon-powered momentum when the #sail travels too far from the #sun). #outerspace #tech #technology #astronomy #light #physics

Haha boring. I hope they curse at each other. regram @curiositydotcom The annual AIIDE #StarCraft #AI #Competition began in 2010, when it pitted 28 #bots against each other in four styles of #gameplay. The #tournament also showcased a #human vs. #bot competition, and though the human—a professional #gamer—did come out on top, the match was exciting nonetheless. As the competition states on its website, “The best human players still have the upper hand in RTS games, but in the years to come this will likely change, thanks to competitions like this one.” AIs also compete against one another in the World #Computer #Chess Championship, and Nintendo has hosted Super Smash Brothers tournaments where only Amiibos (figurines with in-game avatars that can level up and “learn”) were allowed to enter. #games #gaming #videogame #RTSgame #tech #technology

Not that soon. regram @curiositydotcom Not long ago, #human #employees manned every belt at the #grocery #store check-out. Now, one human often supervises dozens of humanless self-checkout stations. This is just the beginning. We’re at a critical turning point in the #workforce where the #robots are outpacing #humans in learning tasks and solving #problems. And not just the low-skill #jobs are the ones able to be replaced by #bots. For example, 23% of the #work done by #doctors can be #automated, and almost half (47%) of the work done by pharmacists can be automated. The key, according to some analysts, is to build competence in #creativity and #emotional skills, things very difficult for robots to master. #robot #tech #technology

regram @curiositydotcom In the next decade, #biocomputers may leave #supercomputers (and even #quantum #computers!) in the dust. These computers use biological #molecules to process multiple commands at once, which makes them “parallel” computers as opposed to classical ones. A #biocomputer model created in 2016, for example, is powered by #ATP, and relies on #protein #filaments to navigate miniscule pathways and produce solutions. Biocomputers promise to be cheaper, faster, greener, and smaller than even the most advanced supercomputers that exist today. #tech #technology #computer #computerscience #compsci #supercomputer

More and more people are reported being obsessed with unusual tasks and tested positive for rabies. But when an investigator finds a pattern to the madness and tries to tell people, will anyone listen?
