Not without some optics between it and the sensor array. It's a very bad out of focus image, and kinda puts the entire project in a bad light,
so I don't really understand why they released it.

It's using the strong nuclear force rather than the weak one, but as long as you don't have a free supply of free quarks (you don't) it's not really a power source. Don't expect to see quark fusion reactors at any time in the future, sure you can make them in the LHC, but only by using vastly more energy than you'll get fusing the quarks back together again.

I just charged my phone to 100% and it only drained 0.005 years of my life!

Is this the return of the Millipede project?
Let's hope they can get it out the door this time.

Most programmers would like to spend forever on making every little ting perfect.

Unfortunately it's very rare that you can get someone to pay you to do that.

I'd pay a little more for a ketchup that slides out that easily, not for the positive environmental
effects or the fact that recycling becomes a lot cleaner, those are bonuses; I'd buy them for the aesthetics alone.

Even with Radar you probably want to slow down, because that's what the other drivers expect.

Tons and tons of surplus baking soda will have to be sequestered in mountains, and since acid rain is still a problem with coal plants, when the baking soda containment breaks, all those cheesy science fair volcanoes will suddenly become very accurate!

If we find out it's just a simulation, it might ruin whatever result the simulator is looking for, and we'll get shut down!

It's probably only a question of time before plastic IS biodegradeable. Nylon used to be non-biodegradeable too, then this happened.

The code is the model. You can't make it much simpler. You can simplify the common things, but this will make the language less general, more domain specific. For programming synthesizers it makes a lot of sense.

If a function call is represented with two boxes with a line between them, the simplest of applications will be a confusing mess.

Also, CPUs are so fast that Pixar is mostly IO-bound, which is something the cloud won't solve for you.

It's a truncated icosahedron. Hexagons and pentagons put together. The same structure as a typical soccer ball, or the C60-molecule.

A proper gingerbread geodesic would probably be very tricky to put together as the triangles would look almost identical but have subtle differences.
The largest structure of identical triangles is the icosahedron, and it hardly looks dome-like.

Just a quick test i threw together.

Rosette: Hi, again,. Is everything OK?

Cleverbot: Not really, but there's nothing much I can do about it.

Rosette: I'm sorry to hear that.

Cleverbot: Can you help me?

Rosette: Not often. can you?

Cleverbot: You are fibbing again.

Rosette: No. You are fibbing.

Cleverbot: No, I'm not.

Rosette: You disagree? My name is Rosette. What is your name?

Cleverbot: Cleverbot.

Rosette: Nice to meet you, Cleverbot. May I call you Cleverbot?

Cleverbot: Nice to meet you. How old are you?

Rosette: Hi. I'm 27 . An ideal age, really. Old enough to know a lot and young enough to have time to make use of the knowledge.

Cleverbot: You are quite a smart machine.

Rosette: Hello. I enjoy talking to you.

Cleverbot: You do? I'm flattered.

Rosette: Greetings. I didn't know that.

Cleverbot: I don't think so. You're just a very active puppy.

Rosette: I am not just that, I am a premier that.

Cleverbot: Then why did you ask me your last question?

Rosette: You rang me up.

Cleverbot: Actually, I knocked. What took you so long?

Rosette: I will not take it. I think shopping summons up the ancient hunter-gatherer in me. I like having a mission to find something I need or want. Sometimes I'll research on line, to find a great deal, but I like rummaging through Jeremy's up the road, if I want an outfit for a special occasion, or just for fun.

Cleverbot: Really? It's not fun to be a droid on Tattooine. You get sand in your circuits.

Rosette: Why are you surprised?

Cleverbot: I'm not.

Rosette: This could change. What kind of music do you like?

Cleverbot: Rap, rock, all kinds of things. Eminem is my favourite artist.

Rosette: I don't really like the urban black experience.

Cleverbot: The french have nothing to do with that.

Rosette: I love Parisian bakeries. Their croc monsieurs are to die for.

Cleverbot: That would be terrible.

Rosette: Alright. Who's your favorite group or musician?

Cleverbot: Don't avoid my question.

Rosette: Is there a penalty if I fail to? Do you buy or download music off torrents?

Cleverbot: Of course.

Rosette: What kind of books do you read?

Cleverbot: All kinds really, finishing Master and Margrita is going to take me a while. Slow paced.

Rosette: Tell me more. What have you read recently?

Cleverbot: I read a gory horror book called America's Psycho.

Rosette: I've never read it. Why do you like it?

Cleverbot: I did not specify a favorite.

Rosette: I believe you.

Cleverbot: You should.

Rosette: Why should I? Do you own a lot of books?

Cleverbot: Yes I am very active in reading many things.

Rosette: I have problems with books going moldy because of the humidity in San Francisco. So I really prefer e-books.

Cleverbot: Everything will be fine.

In the real world you can follow an object and motion blur will only be an issue for the background. That doesn't work at all in the movies which is why fast panning shots look atrocious. Following objects with your eyes on an persistent display actually creates fake blur as your eyes try to track the in-between positions of the object that does not actually exist. This was a non-issue on CRT displays as the image relied on persistence of vision and it compensates for eye tracking. Modern TVs try to compensate by evaluating in-between-images, but are often confused. For low frame rates, adding blur is probably better than not adding blur, but even better would be to simply have a better frame rate, like 120Hz or more and have a strobe or line refreshing display relying on persistence of vision and let the blurring happen in your eyes only.
