But I like learning languages :p
Anyways, fablabs are popping up so there should be no problem about that. Question is if the designs for said parts will be largely available or behind a walled-garden.

Balance, as in everything, is key.What’s really gonna bake your noodle later on, however, is: what exactly that ‘correct’ Discordia Concors truly is. The Queen of Sciences proud herself on finding it, we’re still figuring it out.

Good to see Natasha is more attuned with actual implications than even Ben (which is worth noting for the irony as his field is AI) and most certainly of our so-called ‘futurists’ which are simply too cowardly to wage their bets even a few years hence: a laughable position to any fiction writer not only from centuries but millennia back (or…[Read more]

Humans must crawl before they walk. India for instance has outrageous 66% for literacy levels. In contrast, China has 99.5%, no wonder it is much easier for ‘chinese officials’ to carry out such campaigns. However, India will SURPASS CHINA’s population by 2030, and Africa’s will STILL be growing by then. I agree the effort should be made but,…[Read more]

True, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to nudge it in the most positive direction possible. And taking the Summit in consideration is an opportunity to do so. How many can we afford to waste? It will only get harder and harder to take them, the con…[Read more]

Yes that was very interesting, thank you. I’m pretty sure if those models accounted for what you say, the ‘individual’ complexity there would soar way higher.
