  • Nah, you can't beat the power density of hydraulics and never will unless room temp superconductors become a thing.

    Big Dog from Boston Dynamic was hydraulic.

    Going that size or bigger, hydraulics is a must.

    The reason you don't see it is hydraulics is a completely different ball game.

    Controls researchers stick with small and electronic, because that's what they know.

    It's very rare to find a controls engineer that understands hydraulics.

    And the hydraulics experts out there, don't have the background for sophisticated control theory.

  • Yes. The primary source of power.

    It's not like I'm making shit up out of thin air. This is typical nomenclature for safety systems.

    If you have an air system, the prime mover would be an pressurized air tank or accumulator.

    Properly recognizing the prime movers of a system and defeating them correctly is part of safety.

  • Because it's a main source of active power that can be re-directed.

    A battery on an EV can be too, in which case the main contactor should be verified disconnected prior to any software update. But typically people don't refer to that as the 'engine'.

    So prime mover encompasses engines and main batteries.

  • It's a safety issue.

    Crazy inexplicable things can happen when modern cars have electrical control access to brakes/steering/throttle.

    Firmware doesn't take right, download message emulates by accident another message, random bit flipping that even CRC checks miss.

    There's no reason to risk any of that. Just shut the engine off.

  • If an anti-gravity particle does exist (that expels both normal mass and itself), it would be incredibly hard to find.

    They would push away from each other and disperse outside of the solar system.
    Like 1 particle per 1000sq km kind of thing.

    Which would push all the galaxies away from each other, always accelerating away from each other, but in a decreasing fashion....

    It would also press inward on galaxies making it look like mass on the outer rims of galaxies having more gravity than they should.

    And there would be a SHIT ton of this matter, that would be dark because it's so spread out,

    ..wait a minute ..

  • Technology works, has for many years.

    Even I've gotten the OCZ NIA to work and control my character's movement in a video game
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeuralImpulseActuator

    The issue is a medical one.

    Where I could spend a few hours(training) to get the NIA to work, it all goes out the window the moment you move it or take it off.

    So the solution is to permanently implant the electrodes into the brain. (Even on the scalp will move over time, so that's not an option)

    But the issue with implants is infection and scar tissue formation.

    They haven't been able to solve the infection and scar tissue problem all these years, and Musk isnt' doing any better with it. Even with nano wires.

    Even Valve has been working on Brain-Computer interface for years.

    IMO, they should give up on the permanent fixation, and look for some kind of reference point, and do a antenna re-alignment that can be calibrated every time you put it on.

  • NOTE:

    We all probably want Musk to 'Shut it down', or EU to force him to shut it down.

    But isn't that exactly what certain countries have been asking for, for a long time now??

    Protests are usually coordinated via Twitter,

  • I guess you missed the point.

    Yes, we can all certainly say that's too long.

    But carry that thought farther as I explained.

    If you are going to make someone legally responsible for something like this, you need to draw a line where it is.
    So where do you draw that line?

    You reasonable can not, and that is because the premise that Google should be responsible for such a thing is ridiculous.

    This case is just a standard US justice system where they just 'Sue everyone' and see where the chips fall.

  • Yeah, how's it Google's fault that there were no signs? blocks? etc.

    9 years is excessive? sure maybe.

    But bridge collapse that evening while approaching it? Google's Fault? No...

    So where do you draw that line where it's Google's Fault?

    1 day? 1 month? 1 year?

    Yeah, you can't reasonable put a timeline on something like that.

    What happens if it was found out dude used an old paper map? Gonna sue that map company too?

    Just because Google has the ability to update maps quicker than old paper, doesn't mean they are suddenly obligated to.
