Behind the scenes: Creating the Tidal “fish run”
See how the Tidal and Design Kitchen teams built a “fish run” to learn about fish appearance and behavior.
Before Tidal could apply machine learning and intelligence to the underwater world, they first had to create entirely new datasets of fish and ocean ecosystems. A few years back they bought a set of realistic-looking rubber fish and built prototypes like this fish run fitted with cameras where real fish could swim so that they could learn about fish behavior and characteristics and build their early machine learning models.

Prototyping advanced inverters to power a sustainable future
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
Inverters play an essential role in converting energy generated from sources like wind and solar into the electricity we use every day. To safely integrate renewable resources into our electricity system, inverters must operate much more quickly and reliably, with a level of awareness that allows them to respond to varying grid conditions.

Composed with GAI. The only intelligence that is Subject: A Passionate Fan and Future Contributor Dear Mr. Brin, I am writing to express my sincere admiration for your visionary work at Google. Your company has revolutionized the way we access information, communicate, and interact with the world. From the innovative search engine to groundbreaking projects like Waymo and Google X, Google has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology. As a lifelong learner and tech enthusiast, I have been inspired by Google's commitment to innovation and its positive impact on society. I am particularly interested in [such as AI, quantum computing, or sustainable technology]. I would be honored to have the opportunity to contribute to Google's mission. I believe my contribution to the Google Experience Center in Music Art and Science could be a valuable asset to your team. I am eager to learn more about potential opportunities and how I can align my skills with Google's goals. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Swetha PS: We broke the water main with “Fuck You and Try Me.” The bicycle ride with the speed of breeze and culmination with stream sounds was an icing on the red velvet cake. Are you OK…or loose?😂❤🎉😅😊
SICKO
Good shot
A fully electrified future requires a lot more copper that can only come from copper mines. We need at least 60 more mines, meaning many more discoveries of economic deposits, and a willingness to allow the development of the economically viable ones. That is not happening at nearly the required rate. The supply of copper metal will constrain future electrification. The exact same can be said for silver. In both cases, it takes well in excess of a decade to get a mine project pouring metal.

i liked your comment on teaching advanced physics to machine shop in a community collage. its a good approcah. i like that
So people know, she quit because she was part of the Full Tilt Poker Ponzi Scheme, and she is despised by everyone in the Poker Community. When Crooks are chased out of the Poker Community, apparently they write books about how Quitting is anything but the last refuge of a scammer.
She's such a scammer. This woman should have been in jail years ago
From looking at your video, an Immediate improvement I saw was with your propellers. use the research that involves tuberules (from whale flippers)
What if something comes in between the light causing it to be interrupted?
💪
Yeah, this video is a big waste of time. Nothing new or interesting here.
I love watching a video about trying to advance humanity and then go into the comments and everyone thinks they're smarter than what the research is trying to achieve. 🤦♂️ It's okay to be wrong sometimes. That's why we are human. We learn from trial and error.
Can someone state the key advances here? I see wolfspeed sic, some talk about virtual power plants (many small inverters act as a big power plant), but all this already exists... Also what they call advanced algorithm to control seems not that innovative without numbers. There is work going on in the field of optimal control for power transfer which was developed the last 10 years in theory and is currently brought in the industry by one of the leading german universities.. therefore can you clarify what are you doing?
Nothing really was said in the whole video.

Should have been spinning discs that get launched mechanically...a few hundred or a thousand...then circle the wind park. Though electrostatic motor next to a closed circuit is the other thing.
