Thoughts about the future, world, and technology

   The new genetically engineered cows are things that cause strange thoughts.  Cow 2.0 is climate-smart genetic production created by using CRISPR and genetic engineering. This technology allows to creation of a cow that produces 20% more milk than ever before. This kind of cow is also resistant to climate change. Genetically engineered cows and domestic animals can used to produce things like antibiotics.  And the only problematic thing is what is the place where that animal outputs that medical product. If we want to create an animal that produces some medicines sweat or urine are places, where those chemicals can collected. If that kind of genetically engineered cow produces those medical chemicals in milk, that makes milk useless because that milk will be polluted.  Things like the ability to connect genomes from other animals like bats make it possible for the new cows to have skin, that heals faster, and bones that can fix injuries faster than ever before. The idea is that those

    Ukraine destroyed Russia's most powerful GPS jammer with a GPS-guided bomb.  The GPS jamming is theoretically very easy to make. The radio system must only send radio transmissions that cover the GPS signal. And that is the thing that makes the GPS jammer vulnerable. The location of that kind of radio transmitter is quite easy to locate by using radio-bearing devices. And then to that point can target different types of anti-radiation missiles (ARM). Those missiles and grenades use radio receivers or "passive radar" to detect the GPS jammers and other radio sources.  The existence of anti-radiation missiles is a well-known fact, and weapons like AGM-88 HARM (High-Speed Anti Radiation Missile) have shown their effectiveness on battlefields. But it's possible that also ground-launched missiles and some grenades can have this option. Also, is possible that some homing bombs like JDAM glide units can be modified for homing to the radio transmitters. In attacks where a

   How do you tell people that their boss is a corporate psychopath? In some crazy visions, psychopaths can be excellent leaders if their benefit can be connected with corporate benefit. That kind of idea is like a bad joke. A psychopath is a person who lives without a social conscience. And that makes psychopaths dangerous.  Sometimes people ask, Is Vladimir Putin a so-called corporate psychopath? Vladimir Putin is an extraordinary person because he can make contracts and give promises that this man or woman will not even try to keep. Contracts, regulations, and other kinds of things are only the tools that give power. The thing that makes a psychopath so extraordinary is that there is no lie that this person cannot tell for personal benefit. International agreements are trash for those kinds of people. They can ratify any agreement that they see, but then those people just "forget" about it. Psychopaths can be handsome. But there is truth behind the mask. A small disappoint

  How do deep neural networks see the world?    The new neural networks are acting like human neurons.  The new neural networks are acting like human neurons. The new and powerful AI-based deep neural networks have two types of memory. Short and long-term memories are important things in human data structure. The deep-learning process uses short-term memory as a filter that denies the memory store too much data. The system stores data to short-term memory and then the AI picks up the most suitable particles from those memory blocks. The compositional generalization means that in the AI's memory is a series of actions. Those actions or action models are like Lego bricks. The system selects the most suitable bricks for response to the action where the AI needs to react. The AI can use two lines of those models. The first models are "bricks" or action models stored in AI memory.  The second model is observations from the sensors. The sensorial data. And also be cut into piec

   The next-generation ion engines can use extremely bright light to ionize gas.  Quasiparticles are the next-generation tools for extremely bright lights.  Wikipedia determines a quasiparticle like this: "In condensed matter physics, a quasiparticle is a concept used to describe a collective behavior of a group of particles that can be treated as if they were a single particle. Formally, quasiparticles and collective excitations are closely related phenomena that arise when a microscopically complicated system such as a solid behaves as if it contained different weakly interacting particles in vacuum." (Wikipedia, Quasiparticle) Some of the quasiparticles are extremely short-living "particle-type energy fields". Or otherwise saying. Quasiparticle is a phenomenon that acts like particles. Researchers are interested in quasiparticles like Majorana fermions because they offer the possibility to make error-resistant quantum computers.  But one version of quasiparticles

    Particle accelerators and stealth technology are an impressive combination.  Photonic crystals can make structures invisible to the human eye.  The photonic crystals can turn the visible light to UV or IR radiation. If the layer is covered by photonic crystals that move radiation into the higher or lower wavelength that kind of system can deny the visible light reflection from the layer. And that thing can make the ultimate stealth systems possible.  When we talk about the systems that can transform the layer invisible to the human eye we forget photon crystals. Photon- or photonic crystals can transform the wavelength of the radiation. That means the photonic crystals can transform the reflection that comes from the object to UV or IR frequencies.  If reflection that comes from the layer turns to UV or some higher energy radiation with photonic crystals. That thing can make objects invisible to the human eye.  Above:) Fictional space fighter. The next-generation stealth shuttles m

   Why does the Iron Dome fail in Israel? Why does the Iron Dome fail in Israel? Why Hamas could overwhelm and pass the system that should protect Israel against any aerial threat? We might say that it's easy to go through the Iron Dome or any other missile shield. If the attacker has more missiles than the defender. It's impossible to destroy all attackers. The Hamas attacks introduced problems with modern air defense. High-tech weapons and ineffective against mass raids of dummy weapons. And one case is that there are too many attackers.  Because there are no missiles that can destroy all incomers. This is the problem of the missile mass raid. The attacker can use thousands of drones and missiles to attack. That forces the defender to react and shoot its AA missiles. And one drone tactic is that the attacker will shoot drones in a non-stop chain. That forces the defender to use its missiles.  "An Iron Dome launcher launching a missile. On October 7, 2023, Israel’s Iron D

 Lasers can make roads to the Moon and sweep orbital trajectories.  ESA (European Space Administration) created a model where lasers turn moon dust into glass. Developers can use that system to make roads to the Moon. Lasers can melt moondust and transform it into glass, which allows vehicles to travel on it. The moon glass can be used as other structures on the Moon. The system puts dust in a mold and then the laser melts it.  In some other versions, the pressure systems will blow dust to certain points, and laser rays melt that dust. That kind of system can create the 3D printing technology that is used to create structures for the Moon. But the other thing is that. It's possible to use this technology can also on Earth for the same purposes.  The laser systems can melt dust on Earth. In 3D printers, lasers can melt dust like plastic. And that allows to create 3D printers that can print glass. 3D printers can use silicone dust for ceramic structures. By using this technology, a 3

     Evolution requires catastrophes that start to favor intelligence.  Evolution is a complex interaction with species and their environment.  The universe is full of planets that are more habitable than Earth. And maybe that is the reason why we have not found intelligent civilizations yet. In catastrophic situations, only species can adapt to that suddenly changing environment. Individuals must know how to find food in cases where the tropical environment suddenly changes to arctic and temperature decreases by tens of degrees. And this kind of thing formed species called Homo Sapiens.  Our species is the result of multiple catastrophes,  and we are at the top of the evolution that continues. And maybe we are different than now after 30,000 years. In this case, I talk about the evolution chain that continues in our species.  20-year study says that Neanderthals were as intelligent as we are. The oldest wooden structure from 476,000 years ago caused an idea that could Neanderthals cre

 Race for next-generation internet is going on.  The next-generation Internet is more secure and more complicated than it is now. The series of quantum entanglements will transport information in the next generation Internet.  The quantum-based security makes it impossible to hack into that net. And that means the highly secure quantum net is also more controlled than the net has ever been before. The quantum technology, along with deep learning security programs make the anonymous use of the net completely impossible.  Otherwise, new applications like drone control, 3D printing, and banking require new encryption technology. But the fact is that things like general-purpose AI and Internet of Things like 3D printing systems require very high-level security because those systems are very destructive. NASA is planning to create rocket engines using 3D printing technology. And that thing means that maybe quite soon the cannons like 155mm. howitzer will create by using 3D printers. And als

    The threat of nuclear terrorism.  The hackers attacked Israel by using the Red Alert warning application as a platform. They claimed that Israel was under nuclear threat. Nuclear terrorism is one of the most frightening things. The problem is that nuclear technology falls in the hands of those who don't care or don't have the skills to protect those platforms.  We should concerned about nuclear terrorism and the escalation of nuclear weapons because of Burkina Faso and Russian atomic cooperation. Also, Iranian military aid to Russia in the Ukrainian war causes the question of whether Iran wants nuclear weapon technology as a counter-gift.  Those hackers created the fake message that Israel was under a nuclear terrorist threat. Those kinds of messages are serious things. Even if they are meant for trolls.  But does the threat of nuclear terror rise? When we think about the situations where Russians sell nuclear power plants to Burkina Faso, that can mean that people like Ham

  Many companies are working to develop portable nuclear reactors (PoNu) to replace diesel generators.  Work with compact and powerful nuclear reactors continues. The reactor's purpose is to replace diesel generators fit in trucks. That means they can be used in multiple systems, from fixed power plants to ultimate power sources for ships, trains, and aircraft. And even trucks and tanks. The reason why those small-size nuclear reactors are under development is that.  These kinds of systems decrease carbon emissions. Another reason why those systems are under development is that modern weapon systems like direct energy weapons, which means microwaves and lasers require electric power. Also, coherent high-power radio waves that are used to deliver electricity to drones remotely through air require a trusted and powerful power source. The portable nuclear reactors can changed same way as batteries.  And if some ship or aircraft uses portable nuclear reactors. Operators can just put it

 The AI can probably help us to understand animals better. The AI can probably help us to understand animals better. And the AI also can read and understand the animal language. The idea of this kind of behavioral research is always similar. The AI collects a dataset that involves things like animal sounds. Then those sounds will play to other similar animals, and the AI follows the reactions. Then AI connects certain voices with certain actions.  The AI-based communication system can order animals very easily. The system must only know what signals predict certain actions. When a system operator wants the animals to make something, that person must only play the record that launches certain behaviors.  That allows it to control animals by using their voices. The AI must record voices or sounds that the animals use as communication in ultra- and infrasound areas. The system can also use holograms so that those animals can see all things that activate certain behaviors.  But if we think

 Darwin, AI, and free will can turn things around. Evolution of the AI.  Darwin, AI, and free will can turn things around.  Does the AI need free will to develop itself? Or are developers given those abilities for the AI? The computer program doesn't do anything else that is programmed in it. But if the AI gets digital twin, and those systems start to develop each other, can that process slip from hand? Can the AI become conscious without telling that thing to its developers?  When we think about AI and its autonomous evolution. We face an interesting phenomenon. If a creature whose existence depends on other species wants to survive, that creature must turn itself into a useful and necessary thing. The small crab that lives between hermit crab horns is a good example of that kind of species. That small crab cheats food for the hermit crab. And then that small crab cleans the shell of that bigger crab. The small crab puts its egg between the hermit crab eggs. In that symbiosis, bot

 The AI makes aviation safer.  MIT created the AI that follows the pilot's behavior. That kind of AI is a so-called technical copilot, whose mission is to assist the pilot. Developers are making similar systems to cars and other transportation tools. The equipment to which AI has access determines its abilities. And the AI copilot is the tool, that can correct the errors that humans make.  Many crashes happened actually after some other dangerous situation. When pilots first survive some close-call situation, they simply forget to make some routine maneuvers or release the landing gear. In the car, people can stop it and breathe. But in the air, the aircraft continues its flying after those situations.  And in some other cases human error, like misunderstanding who should fly the aircraft while landing causes an accident. Or the communication between the copilot and captain somehow is misunderstood.  "With Air-Guardian, a computer program can track where a human pilot is looki

    The SLAC National Acceleration Laboratory created the most powerful X-ray laser.  Researchers are developing X-ray lasers because they offer new abilities for information, weapons, and material research. In communication tools X-ray lasers can use technology where the system sends highly accurate X-ray impulses to the two receivers. When the X-ray beam hits receiver A it gives a value of 1 (one). And when the X-ray beam hits receiver B the value could be zero (0).  That kind of system requires AI-based kernels. But X-ray systems can communicate through walls. And that radiation is very hard to capture. So X-ray lasers provide a new and secure communication tool and they also can be used in photonic computing. The problem is that there are no mirrors that can reflect X-rays, and that makes X-ray lasers hard to develop.  "The newly upgraded Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory succe

  Researchers created the ability to mass-produce nanomaterial called "MXene".  The nanomaterial "MXene" is the material that turns harder when somebody or something presses it. The "MXene" is one of the examples of 2D "molecular structures". When somebody talks about the 2D nanomaterial, normally people talk about the graphene, an atom layer of carbon.  The "molecular 2D" structures mean that the material is one layer of molecules like lipids. Those lipide molecules are forming soap, and sometimes those lipids are used as tweezers in nanotechnology. But if engineers will cover the entire layer using one lipide layer that material will get new abilities. The thing that makes the nanomaterial interesting is its form. When somebody tries to push one layer-lipids that are in the same way together the lipide's "feet" are pushing against each other.  "KIST researchers developed a method to predict molecule distribution on

  SETI and Aretemis are the most well-known space programs. SETI searches for alien civilizations. And Artemis plans to return to the Moon. The thing is that both of those programs are platforms or forums. Their purpose is far bigger than just sending some astronauts to the moon. In the Artemis program, NASA and its companies are developing new types of space technology, like moon shuttles. Zero-emission vehicles allow astronauts to operate comfortably on the Moon Similar vehicles with airlocks and other capacities can also operate underwater or at the bottom of the ocean. Those kinds of systems are offering new possibilities for many missions, both scientific and military. Also, those underwater systems can be used to fix offshore oil platforms. Things like miniature tooth implants that can monitor stress and blood pressure are also interesting tools. They can replace old-fashioned microphones. And basically, those implants can use resonance to transmit information to the ears. The us
