The answer to cybernetics is wireless reading of the brain and simple augmented reality glasses / contacts (someday).
I want a Linux computer in my glasses. If we can't read brain waves through the skull or something, we can just invest further in Meta wrist strap type things.
Those wrist straps combined with neural networks could enable all the controls you can do with your hands. Typing could be relatively fast. You could easily implement CharaChorder style chorded entry.
I wouldn't be surprised if you could learn to virtually have more than ten fingers... If that makes any sense 🤣
I am not sure I can square a physical implant with my Faith. Maybe I'm just a zoomer (this will be equivalent to boomer someday)... Stop yapping you shit
Starting to wrap my head around ownership and borrowing and I'm starting to understand why some of y'all are such big Rust supporters. Very cool stuff.
I'm getting old... I can hear my tendons 🤣
Hot take: within 3 decades, building on orbit will be substantially cheaper than building on Earth, commercially at least. Open source designs will make this possible.
Individuals will be able to get permits to build on orbit easier than on land, and spaceflight will be even cheaper and more accessible than we anticipate. AI tech will make self assembling factories dead simple to design. It will really open up when we have a reliable system for handling space debris.
Car industry predictions for the next decade:
1. Mazda brings back Mazdaspeed (or rebrand as MSR, which would be a big miss). They will take the CX-70 RWD based platform with the longitudinal 3.3t I6, and make a longitudinal , AWD Mazdaspeed 6 to compete with BMW, Acura, Cadillac, and now Dodge (hurricane). Probably auto only.
2. Toyota puts their boosted V8 in the Lexus F cars (and 500s).
3. Honda reveals a boosted V8 and an improved turbo 6, and an e-turbo V3 for bikes, and a larger odd number V engine for cars, maybe in place of a new turbo 6, like a V5. Maybe they won't invest in the odd Vs, but they are working on something BIG in secret, I smell it. Like new S2000 big, S2030 or something.
4. Dodge shifts the Charger to be electric only and creates a new Challenger that is gas only.
5. GM invests a huge amount of money in the LF3 twin turbo V6 so it can match the output of the Hurricane motor from Dodge. They release a Chevy version of the Cadillac CT4. They might release a new turbo 4 to compete with the EA888 and K series.
6. Ford releases a new Ford GT with over 1000 HP, RWD only, like the corvette ZR1.
7. Ford brings back a hot hatch, the market shits itself.
8. Dodge releases a new Viper to compete with the GR GT, Corvette ZR1, and whatever Ford comes out with.
9. Nissan eliminates the Z line, and brings back the GT-S. R36 flops hard unless they launch it with a GT-S
Bet 50 sats on it, at least 5 predictions will come true.
Someone steal this idea so I don't half ass it in 10 years:
1. Take a split keyboard, like the truly split ones.
2. Put each side on the SIDES of a vertical tower. So you type by holding the sides, holding it almost like a bowling ball in your hands, so your wrists don't rest on the desk.
3. Make the keyboard part adjustable so you can adjust the angle your hands come in at. That way you can use it on the edge of your desk as a short person, reaching up, or you can extend your arms out and reach down into the keyboard.
It would have to be compact so you don't block the monitor, but it would enforce touch typing and improve typing speed and accuracy, and it would solve ergonomic issues for most and reduce the risk of developing carpal tunnel.
If someone else doesnt do it, I might when I am stable in my CS career. I would design an open source design to be 3D printed / manufactured and assembled, a la Lalboard. It would probably use a common split keyboard design as a base.
Star Wars is maybe the best sci fi fantasy universe, too bad its owned by shits for now
