@@beeble2003 They say around 60% water, but it's composed of 65% Oxygen atoms and 9.5% Hydrogen atoms, and water requires not just one, but two hydrogen, so that would mean less than 5% could make H2O, so I'm still puzzled at how that 60% figure works.
@@whatabouttheearth The percentages you quote are by mass, not by number of atoms. An oxygen atom is 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom, so a 65:9.5 ratio by mass corresponds to a 65:152 ratio by number of atoms, which is about 1 part oxygen to 2.3 parts hydrogen. And the reason it's not exactly 2:1 is that oxygen and hydrogen atoms also occur in substances that aren't water. For example, fat molecules have many hydrogen atoms but only a few oxygen, so they shift the ratio in favour of hydrogen.
My take: orcs in Moria (goblins) are remnants of the older orc populations of Morgoth that went into the deep places of the world when Morgoth was defeated by the Valar. That’s why the Balrog is there too-the orcs and the Balrog likely had a similar awareness of each other as vestiges of the great forces of Angband. Orcs in Mordor, by contrast, are a much younger and diverse population since Sauron had only been occupying Mordor in his present state since leaving Mirkwood in the Hobbit book. While there were probably many different tribes of orcs who had come from many places to join Sauron’s forces, Sauron ramped up his demands for armies to destroy the world of men and some of the orc groupings wouldn’t have been but a generation or so old. Hard to imagine Sauron ordering an orc breeding plan, but Saruman was able to breed an entire army of half-orc half-human Uruk-hai in just a short time using magic and skills he had learned in his studies. Sauron and Saruman were once Maiar of the same patron Vala, Aulë the Smith, and excelled in crafting and secret knowledge. Thus, they probably had many of the same ideas about breeding orcs.

Robotic third arm thats controlled by your diaphragm?! No thanks! Imagine accidentally punching someone or clearing a buffet table with a random hiccup spell
Every time a company shows off a humanoid robot like that, demonstrating its capabilities in front of journalists and cameras, I get flashbacks to the opening of RoboCop 2. This time, even more so - I kept waiting for that thing to shoot the human handler and then itself.
One can only hope,.. I’m so tired of big corporate taking earnings from hard working people, to then displace those people who actually have built the companies, with robots that they now own,..
Funny or not; that “worm” could be the blessing that people have been waiting for. Imagine one of those worms are able to assess and maybe one day repair for the those who chronhs or diverticulitis.
Stephen never fails to produce a hilarious yet enlightening take on the marvels of modern technology. The balance of humor and insight truly makes his technology segments educational and entertaining.
Agreed - it's program work I use scripts to do boring and mundane tasks (like downloading an entire website and spinning up a temporary dev environment to test in) while I sit back. Leave the powerful mono processor (human brain) to the stuff humans do best - think. When you feel like you could perform a task "with your eyes closed" it might be a waste of brain power and time to make a tool/machine/program to perform the task. Jobs that are painfully boring are for the machines.
Well, we can already remove polyps and small cancers from the gastrointestinal tract with the robotic tentacle. Maybe we can alleviate the nurse shortage by implanting a robotic arm on every surgeon.
Big day for people who were into investigating their gastrointestinal tract with a tentacle before it was cool, if you know what I'm saying. 😏 I sure wish I didn't.
I knew someone who spent 2000$ on a Japanese Sex doll. He is very tall and the sex bot was four feet tall. He said he felt like a pedophile and had to dump her in the woods.
Yeah, I've seen people say they aren't worried about AI because their job is safe. That a machine can't do what they do. They need to realize that NO job is safe. Heck, they're even working on burger-flipping robots. If corporate can find a way to cut out human labor and put more money in exec's and shareholder's pockets, they'll do it.
@@AndiNewtonian but the logistics of replacing a drive-through worker with AI is vastly less complicated than robotic cooks. They would need infrastructure.

There's good reason that those robots generally require six feet of clearance. It's like those signs saying "machinery starts and stops automatically." I think of them like little self-driving cars. They aren't trying to kill you. (We are many years away from robots sophisticated enough to use the Unhinged personality type.) They are heavy, they have powerful motors, and they lack the situational awareness required for safety. When something goes wrong, it's pretty easy for them to kill a human being. And they have. Money-obsessed psychopaths have deployed autonomous robots in the real world, next to people. Amazon has wheeled vehicles in some of their warehouses that have caused injuries in various ways. And if you use Tesla's 100% self-driving feature, you are beta testing their software for them. Don't zone out, your magic car might kill someone.
I was actually catfished by an A.I. on a dating site. All of the responses seemed scripted, and never addressed anything specific that I said. The video chats were of extremely poor quality and the image kept freezing. I was sent some still photos, and feeling suspicious I did a Google image search. Sure enough, it was great some Russian celebrity. I asked the "person" about it, and the account was closed the second after I clicked send. All profiles were deleted. I still have some screen shots, though. I tried to warn the dating site, but they said that new profiles were uploaded every day, and they couldn't keep track of all of them. It was up to me to screen people.
