Could be mistaken but the world is looking a big increase in power consumption over the next few years due to AI being reliant on GPU.s. With Bolt having higher speed and much lower power usage. If the claims holds out it may be an Nvidia killer and that is HUGE

There are numerous issues with mechanical hearts, none of which are dealt with in this or any current heart replacement. By the time this style of product becomes viable, there ios a greater chance ofT-cell replacements which will be a true replacement but budget requirement mean that these folk continue to spout nonsense about being available now and SOON a permanent solution. No bucks, no Buck Rodgers is a good analogy. Does anyone remember the flying car with eight engines and no need for a pilots license of quite a few yonks ago? He was charged for his fraud and sent to prison. The genetic replacement, grown from the patients own T-cells harvested from bone marrow, will also obviate the need for anti rejection drugs required with donated hearts. This WILL revolutionise the organ replacement world and remove the trade in stolen organse too. Not a pretty subject to research should anyone care to look around the subject. Consider also, gender reassignment surgery. What would that mean there also? Legal and political minefield, like the research done by a Moscow sewer department chemist who discovered and refined the properties of bacterial hunting bacteria much like the slug/snail relatives that are carnivores hunting their own kind and available in most gerden centres. The Moscow chemist? When the wall came down and the USSR became a footnote, western companies went in and took the lot, killed it so they could sell antibiotics costing a bloody fortune. Our tax money at work...........

They keep added to this extension. Its a clever tool no doubt.

I can believe, it's NOT butter.

It has been downgraded to a category 1 cyclone lets hope it stays on that trajectory

I agree that this form of construction would be for limited access housing. If you consider a small single bedroom home with no need for child or constant use, it looks sharp. I have a lot of use of yacht stair types in my small home designs and frankly see no problem with it. This could be considered as loft access and how many times does anyone access their loft? Just as those who tell me that, "In the USa, people box in their fridge freezer",,, I get it but, I do not live in the USA so, consider the value of a limited use product and how it might be of valkue WITH that limited access. My 1970 VW, had an engine that IS less than 100% environmentally friendly but, considering the additnional energy consumed by a new BEV, was at least as good over the whole life. If not better, considering the reduction in use of exotic metals.......

Very cool, feels disorienting opening the browser for the first time having the image popup.

Hope he found peace and happiness wherever he is. Always liked his Indigo renders of unique imagery.

@Rich-O-Brien There is 2 versions the first one was hardwood and it was so hard to sand because you are always sanding end grain which was like an Anvil. the second one was in a soft wood whish took 2 people 2 day to sand, hefty but lighter that you think

Cheers Mike, interesting time we live in, and I say that being scared of the direction we are going in, I am not very optimistic, quantum computing and AI sends shivers down my spine

I'd rather not mate, I thought all the people who thought like that were in politics........

I've 3 under 16. They see me do stuff all the time in 3D and understand the fundamentals. Kids have a ton of options to get into 3D. Roblox, a gaming sandbox, allows them to delve into coding, modelling and animation. My eldest lad does tech drawing and engineering in school and it's Autodesk products that are pushed. But he did do the Donut Tutorial in Blender and nailed it. There's also apps like Godot that are great to get kids into coding, game creations and 3D. I think if SketchUp was part of the school curriculum here then maybe there would be more uptake. But Open Source software is easiest point of entry for kids interested. It comes down to parents and teachers helping them discover 3D. As soon as it becomes homework you've put a red flag up!

Wow! Well done!
