@SirStravaganza@Rebel44CZ They could somewhat delay it with some migration from nearly countries, but the current net migration is practically 0. And they are the leaders of semiconductors. I wonder how much they will be able to maintain their position as their semiconductors workforce shrinks
@SirStravaganza@Rebel44CZ I know that china and Taiwan are in a race to the bottom demographics wise, but my comment was after seeing this statistic from today, which is extremely alarming for taiwan https://t.co/tR2HRqlhfP

@TheHumanoidHub Btw, new metric. New humanoid robots per year, comparing it to the births of the world countries, what rank would the robots be if we group them as a country. Between micronations and island, maybe they could be already over 50 countrie?
@TheHumanoidHub Between the Chinese and the US companies, there must already be building a good amount robots per year that they must be surpassing quite a few countries yearly births
@apifromwithin@kylemarieb@SawyerMerritt Anyway, with starlink bandwidth I dont think it would matter much anyway, but if bandwidth was trully the problem, my previous comment highlights why I dont think it would not matter much
@apifromwithin@kylemarieb@SawyerMerritt These satellites are just for inference, not training, at least for now. If bandwidth is a problem, you could launch the satellites with preloaded models. It does reduce flexibility, but with the speed of improvement slowing down, I dont think it would be a huge problem
@JesusFerna7026@connoramulhern To end my reply, the question is not so much if money works to increase the fertility rate or how much is needed, but how much the fiscal impact needs to differ between someone childless and someone with 2 children to make the overall fertility rate 2.1 of a society
@JesusFerna7026@connoramulhern And for that, you need to make it economically more efficient to have children than not, + compensate for the time spend raising those children (either by free child care and similar, or increasing the economic inbalance even more).
@sammo3x How, after all this type, and they still cannot produce a proper hand? Their last generation of robots, and the courrent one with actuators. They always seemed to ignore developing a proper hand, arguably one of the most important features on a humanoid robot
@sammo3x Boston still has some value, their current robot body is still looks to be really high quality, probably the robot that can move its body in most complex way (but currently without much practical use, so mostly a gimmick), but lets not even talk about their lack of IA
@APHClarkson@Rebel44CZ I am not a expert so my opinion is not of much value, but I am indeed surprised at how much the global economy has adapted to it that prices are even bellow $100, considering how hard was to get prices below $100 when the russian 2022 invasion happened for a smaller disruption
@debittoinjapan Hay una revista que he querido ser lector habitual por un tiempo, seria muy triste que dejasen de publicarla antes de que consiga tener un nivel de japones suficiente bueno como para poder leerla de forma activa, aunque creo que aun tendre unos años asegurados antes del peligro
@ItsAsterVT@elonmusk@SciGuySpace Ultimately there will be a need for permanent stations and satellites in orbit, that are supplied with resources to keep them up even in lower orbit, a junk orbit to park death stalites and give permission for other to mine them,and a orbital ring to supply efficienty all of this
