What are the latest updates in the stock market?
I'm sure you're happy if you own stocks today. It's looking good in the stock market. Bitcoin's up. I feel sorry for Jaguar. There's a Jaguar meme that's pretty funny. All right, let me call up your comments here on Locals to make sure I'm seeing the best of it. Here it is. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains All you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tank or chalice or stipe, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. So, so good. Well, the first Starlink satellite direct-to-cell phone constellation is now complete.
What is the significance of the Starlink satellite update?
I think that means you can't quite use it yet, but the physical assets of satellites are in the right place. So very soon, according to Elon Musk, you'll be able to use your regular unmodified cell phone to use Starlink as a phone network. And apparently there's also something happening with Starlink that's going to greatly reduce the latency, which is a big deal with the satellite stuff. I guess the next ring of satellites is going to be closer to the Earth. It's going to make a big, big difference in how fast your Starlink speed is. So that's cool. And other cool news, according to Zion Lights, which is the name of a person, by the way, Zion Lights, Britain is installing its first nuclear reactor in 30 years at Hinkley Point. So that's good news, right?
Do you remember when the UK used to be an ally of the United States? I remember that. That was cool. But now they're, I don't know what they are now, but they're going to have a lot of nuclear power. So it would have been good if they'd done that 30 years ago, maybe. There was an accidental scientific discovery, live science is reporting it, according to Owen Hughes. They accidentally discovered something that could lower the the energy needed to store things, the energy needed to store data could go down by up to a billion times. It could be a billion times more energy efficient than current technology. Now, I don't think we have any idea of how good the Golden Age could be. It could be really good.
Because if we've got Europe putting in nuclear energy, and we've got Starlink giving us competition with satellites and phones, and we've got a billion times advantage. I mean, it's early in the technology. They haven't developed it yet. But it looks like it would work. And then we've got, according to The Guardian, Google's DeepMind, their AI, can predict weather way better than the other way they've been doing it. So they're using artificial intelligence. And it's 20% better than what they've been using up to now. Yeah, it seems like a 20% advantage in forecasting the weather would make a big deal. Because I make a lot of decisions based on the weather. Don't you? And if you get it wrong, it can be expensive.
How is AI changing weather forecasting?
Like you can actually predict probably save a lot of money just by having better weather forecasts. So that's cool. According to Futurity, that's a publication, and Byron Spice, he says that robots are getting some new tech that allows them to figure out how to manipulate their physical environment without understanding everything about the objects. So, in other words, robots are pretty good at doing the exact same thing over and over, but if you show them, let's say, a table full of dishes and you say, pick up these dishes or set this table or cook a meal and it has to figure out every new move like the first time it's ever seen it, It's not good at that, but apparently there's a new approach, and it's making a big deal.
So some PhD student, Murtaza Dalai, at the School of Computer Science and Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon,
