Hete is the book about the entire story. Well written by a journalist and a scientist. This Sky Disc rewrote many assumptions of the bronze age in Europa.
E.g. Still they don’t know how they could figure out the stars as it is too cloudy in Europe for those observations. They assume a very ancient trade connection to the Middle East where those star images where known already. And some of the gold for the star decorations where from England and Turkey (if I remember correctly) Worth a read :)

Do you know the Nebra Sky Disk? This one has a nice science trail. The book about it is awesome. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disc

- Comment on karma is the original gamefication 6 days ago:
As I‘ve companied some of my relatives already in their last weeks and days, I can say it’s different.
Karma comed into the game indeed. When your entire energy level slowly fades (around 10 yrs before) you experience a reflection of your character. Your brain just hasn‘t the power to establish s will/ strong conciousness/ whatever tells you the story you wanna get seen be others.
If you‘ve been a happy and joyful person, your surroundings will be nice and happy. A rather moaning or aggressive character wil find itself in a sort pf hostile environment.
It‘s how you interact and interacted with the people around you and how those people react on you.
Your thoughts in this phase won‘t be about Dashboards and numbers, but memorable experiences. I doubt it will be computer games, bro.
My honest advise: You better start collecting nice and joyful experiences now. If seen quite some moaning, aggressive oldsters and it’s a pity how they live.

Because they‘re drunken. Navy not.
- Comment on OpenMower: Let's upgrade cheap off-the-shelf robotic mowers to modern, smart RTK GPS based lawn mowing robots! 3 weeks ago:
You can’t compare indoors and outdoors directly. I think random has its means in an uneven environment. It simply doesn’t matter if the odometry sucks, if the wheels stick in muddy earth or small sticks block on side.
Advanced sensors such as GPS and cam isn’t very precise outdoors. That’s why newer models come with its own positioning sender.

Sorry but this is a primary schools‘ view on money. I know this is how it been taught at school and this is entirely wrong.
- Comment on If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then? 3 weeks ago:
I wonder how human societies survived without money, if this is so essential for the crap.
I wonder why people do crappy jobs for money? Is it because they need much money for things such as car, smartphone, playstation? For some food, you do not need much money. Actually you can grow it for yourself if you do not live in a big city.
Sure, if one got in this consumption trap, one needs a constant inflow of fresh money.
- Comment on If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then? 3 weeks ago:
It does matter. How much worth is helping a friend? Or how much money for your neighbors for caring your pets while you‘re in holidays?
Don’t you think they will refuse to take money for this favor? Not everything in humankind can be paid for.
- Comment on If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then? 3 weeks ago:
Same as ever…was that money wasn’t needed.
Do you need money within your neighborhood or your family? Do you pay people for giving a favor?

- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 2 months ago:
I work with of those shiny tech companies from China. Believe me the shiny part is on the surface only. The more you look under the hood, the more it’s getting poor. With Chinese tech the problems start when you have it. European companies before you have it. US companies when you have no scale.

That’s a different thing indeed. In your case the AI 🤖 is goes wild, will strip dance and tell poor jokes (while flirting with the ventilation machine)
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 2 months ago:
I doubt it. It simply would be enough, if the AI could understand and say when it reaches its limits and hand over to a human. But that is even hard for humans as Dunning & Kruger discovered.

And then you‘re lying on the table. Unfortunately, your case is a little different than the standard surgery. Good luck.
- Comment on The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones 2 months ago:
Actually, this is where mastership comes from.
If you spend even more time, you‘ll become a master in this matter. Because you recognise the little differences to the former experiences. And you learn to handle and to steer it.
It‘s not all bad in not having a first experince only.
- Comment on The Decline of Usability: Revisited | datagubbe.se 2 months ago:
It’s all Marketing. In order to attract users with fancy looking interfaces, many usability rules get overriden.
This started already years ago with the new, sleak looking Windows 10. Internally the usability problems were known. But marketing pushed for the release date. This UX drama was costly. over 5 billion in the air for the launch alone. Ending in a blame.
- Comment on Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in a fully autonomous 3-on-3 football game powered entirely by artificial intelligence in Beijing on Saturday night. 2 months ago:
That sort of competitions exists already for ages. RoboCup is the keyword to search Youtube. Besides other shapes, the Humaoid league is this area.
Proud to say, that Germany is quite advanced in this competition. I once talked with a Prof of the winning team about the challenges. It‘s mainly speed of computing and recognition, coordination with team with close to no network connectivity (think about how crowded networks are at every standard exhibition)

Can you source your statement that fast charging reduces lifetime?
- Comment on The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but your electrician might not know that [32:26] 2 months ago:
I‘m not sure if fast charging degrades batteries. Just read somewhere an article stating that fast charging initially - first charge - boosts the overall capacity of the batterie due to chemical reactions that do not occur that long at anodes.
The issue with fast charging was the thermal management - it’s getting to hot. This is managed by good battery management and a different packaging of cells nowadays. I think fast charging isn’t an issue anymore. Can’t provide you a link or such, it’s what I gathered through serveral podcasts.

In recent test of a German suto club they found out that it‘s cheaper/ more effective to charger faster. You loose a lot of energy if you load slow over hours.
This energy is taken by the electricity of the car. So, while charging the car is on and takes some Watts/h. There are just a few brands that habe decoupled the charger circuit from the overall electric circuit of the car.
Can’t find the article now, but I think charging a PHEV through a standard power plug had about 20% energy lost. It was clearly visible that a charger is a good choice.
- Comment on Hyundai begins using Boston Dynamics humanoid robots at US factory 4 months ago:
Good point.
However, there‘s a crucial difference to cars. Robots are hardware AND software. And I don’t know anybody who uses Windows 95, CorelDraw, and Netscape today. Software and connected hardware outdate mich faster than simple hardware.
- Comment on Hyundai begins using Boston Dynamics humanoid robots at US factory 4 months ago:
The battery! It lasts for just 1-3 hours. That’s why there aren‘t robots on the battlefield nowadays. Once the energy issue is solved this will change
- Comment on Hyundai begins using Boston Dynamics humanoid robots at US factory 4 months ago:
Sure. But at what costs? One can do many things by technology. Are people willing to pay for it? And how much?

What do I do? I‘m a cooker. Yeah I cook meals. Early in the morning I press this button and meals get ready and dishes cleaned and served. That’s cooking today.
I love it old school. Cooking on a stove, cleaning dishes by hand and peeling vegetables manually. Automation is evil, you know, it takes jobs. That’s why I cook on a stove
