revolutionary in scientific circles is very different than revolutionary in public facing circles.

At it's core, this group is using stem cells to prevent glial scarring. That's huge. Implants like electrodes are an obvious starting point, but there's some recent work - apart from this paper - also looking at using stem cells to manage scarring from actual injury to nervous tissue - so that could be a management strategy for spinal cord injuries or peripheral nervous issues. All sorts of cool avenues to look at next.

Is this something that will be a treatment strategy in the next 6 months? absolutely not. Progress happens slowly, but it does happen, and this is a great track to explore.

Look back just 50 years and realize just how much technology has already revolutionized the world within current lifetimes.

Capital is just as important as labor is to a business running, and most people's labor is utterly useless by itself, and frequently not able to be done in the first place without the capital and infrastructure provided by the owner... You people all seem to have some silly notion that it's all about labor and labor is all that matters, when it just isn't.

Right. We have the highest GDP in the world, the 5th highest median income in the world (with all the countries avove us being a fraction of a fraction our size), the highest median disposable income in the world, are the business capital of the world, the finance capital of the world, and the tech capital of the world have half of the best schools in the world, have have half of the best hospitals in the world, but we totally haven't been doing good economically for the last 50+ years.

to put it as people did 100 years ago, if you own the means of production, aka the capital, you profit from the work of those who don't have capital, and the best part is when the people who have capital because they inherit it, they just accumulate more of it.

Damn, someone should write a book on this and help found some scientific movement to study this, we could call it "Capital" and make the study of the market economics!

Can you stop sucking Marx cock for a second?

let me guess, you follow the Chicago school or it's derivations, because even the Kaynsians are adopting more and more "communist" ideas, because shocker, we have 50+ years to see this shit don't work as the neoliberal economists have said it would.

What does Stalin have to do with anything? also could you stop sucking Elon cock while you explain?

You have some kind of aggregate evidence that shows this is a common refrain amongst conservatives? I'm all ears.

When you decrease something logarithmically by 10, that’s reducing by an order of magnitude. “Literal” is used because the phrase is often used in a hyperbolic sense. I was specifically referring to the difference between the Shuttle/SLS and Falcon 9.

As someone who due to recovering from a fractured ankle & another issue that has come from THAT THANK you for being someone positive in this thread. Even though I’m not paralysed thank goodness, I don’t know when I’ll walk again & sometimes I wonder if it’s an IF though dr seems hopeful. So thank you. Somehow reading this article and your reply gives me some comfort during a difficult and uncertain time!

Are you telling me not a single french nuclear site ever made profit? I mean, come on

You're right, your particular anecdotal evidence is obviously the only thing that's right here.

> once the existing renewables start to reach their end of life.

renewables don't reach an end of life. That's the point.

green idiots did not kill nuclear. They were a convenient whipping boy to blame for the poor economics of nuclear power.

There has never been a profitable commercial nuclear plant. not one.

Nuclear plants were constructed to build nuclear weapons with a side benefit of making power to subsidize the production of plutonium.

Also nuclear plants can not be built fast enough to satisfy demand.

I have bachelors degrees in econ and business, a masters in, finance and a decade long career in finance, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say I understand how the system functions a hell of a lot better than you do.

Many thanks for your input! While AI, like GPT-4, may have boundaries in certain areas, one must remember that the real force behind the scientific study and original theories is the cooperation between human ingenuity and hi-tech instruments like AI. Our thought experiment is created to arouse interest and rouse creativity among researchers, while AI assists us in understanding complicated subjects such as quantum mechanics. Using the power of human imagination, inventiveness, and AI's potential, we can investigate new angles, develop novel hypotheses, and make shocking discoveries. At its heart, the future of quantum mechanics and the quest for a Grand Unified Theory lies in the partnership between human savvy and AI, going beyond existing possibilities and broadening our comprehension of the universe. Let's embark on this cosmic venture communally!

GPT4 can't even handle basic maths! I think it's a bit premature to set it loose on advanced physics.

And yet china can afford to build it at this pace and price point for 2+ decades now, so I guess my point is western inefficiency?

But of course that would be not true. West is plenty efficient where real "free market" is in place, i.e. supply of office furniture, toilet paper, mass produced meat etc are all very efficient and affordable

But the west became disgustingly inefficient where politics or local power interests are involved - so construction became ridiculously expensive. Housing became expensive. Transit became expensive. Energy is next to become expensive if people won't push back.

Spoken like someone who supports a system of which they have zero idea (and zero interest in learning anyway) how it actually functions.

You would have to be the biggest, most incompetent fucking buffoon to fail at that point, my guy.

I'm a leftist but I grew up very religious and conservative and I spend time with family still who are very anti choice and trust me: you're shadow boxing. Go do something useful.
