freedom loving Democratic socialist here, this stance is very St Thomas Aquinas of you. let people continue to do the things you did without pulling up the ladder behind you. it's just for a night or two, the animals will live.
It seems like a possible progression for human beings, particularly as that technology comes online, and barriers (cost, environmental, societal instability) to having physical children increase. just as we see people today having relationships with llms or parasocial relationships, I don't view this as being much different. I think almost everybody has the desire to propagate.
I am faced with a variation of this right now. I have a relatively short-term prognosis, and am trying to document as many meaningful question and response multimedia as I can for my family, before I pass. interestingly, if I had the option to upload my mind or conscious, I don't think I would choose to, given the many ways that could turn sour. similarly, I don't think I would choose to have progeny that couldn't experience the sun on their face, and who were only black box models that I could speak to.
You are the person requesting others comply (on behalf of the aggregate) the onus is on you to provide this solution. The solution that was provided, specifically engaged parenting, is the appropriate response.
I was diagnosed later in life with ADHD and struggled academically, but agree with this completely. Everybody faces difficulties in life, and ADHD doesn't justify constant exceptions. Your workplace will be far less accommodating, and you need to figure out how to adapt.
Using AI for literature review is a great tool, but I think the onus is on you to to both verify the output, AND disclose usage of said tool. Clearly describing your methodologies is it important skill for writing papers anyways.
There is no free lunch: using mechanical amplification results in the same problem as described above, and spring return means that your actuator has to push that much harder to overcome the spring.
Net is that a couple of figures of merit limit the performance of electromagnetic systems, and being sneaky won't let you exceed them.
They sure don't, but often insight into/alignment with the story and development process makes all the difference for which projects people choose to contribute to.
Tons of questions, this is incredibly cool! Can you discuss:
1.) How you compensate for anode consumption/geometry changes over the lifetime of the anode. For instance, does the center get worn away or do you try to uniformly use each "pixel".
2.) More details on anode "pixel" geometry and minimum feature size.
3.) Can you talk about the development process? Did you have in situ measurement, or post build analysis of the part and anode.
