I hate it when I am trying to search and rescue a lost hiker and he keeps frantically running from cover to cover in a dense forest area, trying his hardest to avoid my helping drone and prolong his suffering out of pure instinct
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Actually, different salaries should only affect how luxurious your life is, not your food quality or ability to afford rent. If you work 40 hours at any job, your income should be enough to live in the town you work in. Thinking otherwise is an abysmal indicator of your humanity

After weeks of rioting in Paris no one was killed. Which technically means your child is safer attending a riot in Paris than a school in America.

We shouldn't be mean to people who aren't academically smart but we absolutely have a right + responsibility to shame the intellectually incurious. The world is literally on fire because of anti-intellectualism

an artificial kidney which is already in development and struggling to secure funding could genuinely be a lifesaver for millions of people but yeah let’s indulge the pitiful fantasies of overly comfortable adults who are mentally twelve
The Roadster could genuinely be a lifesaver in situations like these.

I was so nervous for Avatar Seven Havens but man, all of my fears are gone. Just those first 3 episodes already have me hooked on the story and the characters. Pavi and Nisha are so adorable I love them.

being willing to make myself look like an idiot repeatedly doesn’t feel any better than it first did, but i’m hoping it’ll pay off eventually

Not hate. I rather feel some kind of pity for someone who seems to be unable to appreciate / celebrate something like this or is choosing, consciously or unconsciously, to be a contrarian / controversial most of the time. Even supposing she is doing something needed/positive…

Physicists are not always so serious. Niels Bohr loved Westerns (and famously came up with the gunslinger effect). Dirac was a big fan of Mickey Mouse. Some of Nambu's favorite books were the adventures of V. I. Warshawski—Sara Paretsky’s Chicago detective. Stephen Hawking loved The Simpsons.
