I wonder how China kicked our ass. (Submitting my slashdot comment from the year 2035 in advance.)

Global life expectancies have been increasing, not decreasing even though we've been mining zinc ore (from which cadmium is taken) for decades. As long as we keep mining zinc -- and we need a shit-ton of it, we'll have enough cadmium for these devices. What's the impact of reducing zinc mining .. let's see .. things get more expensive. When things are more expensive, do you suppose people will have money for healthcare? It would be like banning cars to save 40,000 lives but then nobody can get to work and the economy collapses and society devolves into chaos.

Why is it so expensive? Can't we get robots to make it?

I wonder how much money was spent on R&D, what the actual manufacturing cost is, and how many of these they can sell at that price point.

Seems like all the car companies should pool resources into an Android style model instead of each trying to make their own sub-par AI thatâ(TM)s duplicating a lot of the work and operating with less data than if everyone shared data and resources. Companies can differentiate the same way Android phone vendors do .. on car features. Interior look -and feel. Motor torque, mileage, suspension, exterior look etc.

I don't understand how AI hallucinates for most people. I haven't had that problem once I learned/figured out how to ask it stuff properly like maybe 2 years ago or something. You're asking it to do too much shit, not validate itself, and not being specific or algorithmic enough. Watch some YouTube videos on AI prompting or something.

They literally didn't fuck. It was a sperm donation.

We won't run of "space" .. nuclear war and genocides could happen though. A raft isn't going to help when you have marauding drones.

Disagree. Venus had good conditions for life to emerge and also is a chemistry pot. Not seeing that on present day Mars.

I dunno, balloon cities .. how stable is the atmospheric layering? We may be better off inhabiting space itself in modular space stations built from asteroid minerals. I would not be opposed to trying it though.

Uhh,, are you crazy?? It's got an atmosphere with clouds of pure acid that snows lead sulfide on a surface that'll melt you face in 5 seconds. That said, we ought to do it.

If you need a rationale, you already failed. Going to Mars if fucking cool, next level amazing. It's another fucking planet. A wandering point of red light in the sky our ancestors could only wonder about. How the F can any "rationale" be more compelling than that?

That got dark quickly. Maybe you should stop fantasizing about murder being the solution to your problem? There's ALWAYS alternatives.

I would cooperate with law enforcement if they're investigating serious (violent) crime. All stupid "omg, privacy" excuses are pathetic. If it was your family member that would be victimized you'll be angry at everyone who didn't help.

Good. I assume they use the money for the most pressing inference and training needs such as the importance of using utensils to handle food and good hygiene practices.

There's no reason for this to be expensive. I've made CRISPR nanoparticles and mRNA vaccines for research purposes. I can tell you the process is simple enough that a person with good financial means can make these himself in a garage with below $150k of capital expenditure. Note .. it can be done for under $60k too in a crude manner. I put $150k because you'd want a machine called an FPLC for purification purposes, freezers, and maybe a DLS. Now before that asshole who always argues with me shows up, it's DIY and isn't going to meet GMP-certification standards. I reckon you could meet GMP standards for under million .. because the only difference is that you need more analytics and you have to hire people to watch and sign documents. (Note: I haven't much experience with that aspect.)
