Hyperloop firm Arrivo to create 200 mph traffic-busting tubes in downtown Denver
-Arrivo's hyperloop-type system features a platform/pod that envelopes a car and then scoots it along a tube at speeds up to 200 mph.-
https://www.usatoday.com/story/t…
"Arrivo founder Brogan BamBrogan joined Colorado transportation officials in Denver Tuesday to announce a partnership to create a network of roadside tubes at the congested heart of the city that promises to whisk drivers and their cars to their destinations at speeds of up to 200 mph... The Arrivo test site will be near E-470 and groundbreaking is slated for early 2018."

Pentagon's AI project already hunting terrrorists, 7 months after being started..
we are so fucked.

- The UK, Europe and US have had fairly pervasive CCTV coverage for decades now, which wasn't great ...detritus
- ... but tying that to AI in the cloud with essentially infinite proessing capacity is... well, terrifying. We are, as you say, fucked.detritus
- CCTV was always best used retroactively to solve crimes. Now they can be used to directly limit and control people in advance. I want to move to The Falklands.detritus

militant drones captured by russian military

Nobel prize-winning Stanford physics professor Robert Laughlin designed a theoretical system that stores electricity as heat (in high temperature molten salt) and cold (in a low temperature liquid similar to the antifreeze you have in your car). The energy stored in salt can be kept for days or even weeks, until it’s needed.

Seeing as coal-loving Australia long-since put the nail in the coffin of their once-mooted Solar Tower project, it's good to see variations on the therme popping up elsewhere. In this case, as an air-particulate removing tower prototype in China...

Worm uploaded to a computer and trained to balance a pole
https://phys.org/news/2018-02-wo…
Is it a computer program or a living being? At TU Wien (Vienna), the boundaries have become blurred. The neural system of a nematode was translated into computer code – and then the virtual worm was taught amazing tricks.
It is not much to look at: the nematode C. elegans is about one millimetre in length and is a very simple organism. But for science, it is extremely interesting. C. elegans is the only living being whose neural system has been analysed completely. It can be drawn as a circuit diagram or reproduced by computer software, so that the neural activity of the worm is simulated by a computer program.
Such an artificial C. elegans has now been trained at TU Wien (Vienna) to perform a remarkable trick: The computer worm has learned to balance a pole at the tip of its tail.
- Huh. I thought the common garden snail's neural system had been wholly mapped too?detritus
