Are Dyson Spheres Actually Possible?

Posted by in categories: computing, life extension, media & arts, physics

Use code coolworlds at https://incogni.com/coolworlds to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan. The idea of Dyson Spheres was a radical proposal by the physicist Freeman Dyson, an enormous shell of material enveloping a star. Dyson’s idea may be over half a century old, but interest in looking for such objects has only grown in the decades since. But how would such structures work? Are they physically even possible? And what might someone use them for? Today, we dive into the physics of Dyson spheres. Written & presented by Prof. David Kipping. Edited by Jorge Casas. Special thanks to Jason Wright for fact checking. → Support our research: https://www.coolworldslab.com/support → Get merch: https://teespring.com/stores/cool-wor… Check out our podcast: / @coolworldspodcast THANK-YOU to T.

Artificial Intelligence in Sound Design: A Revolution or a Threat?

Posted by in categories: media & arts, robotics/AI

In this article, Roman Ponomarenko, sound designer and composer with 20+ years of professional experience, explores the transformative potential of AI in sound design and what this means for the future of music.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already making significant progress in music and sound design. However, will the sophisticated AI of the future eventually replace human professionals in these fields? Navigating such a complex issue proves to be quite challenging, as AI brings forth a mix of exciting opportunities and daunting challenges.

We often try to distinguish between what is alive and what is a machine, and note that machines can’t reproduce or fix themselves, but that may soon change.

Neural Networks: From Biological to Artificial

Posted by in categories: biological, internet, media & arts, robotics/AI

Neural networks biological and artificial.


Neural Networks have found applications across various domains due to their ability to learn from data and improve over time without human intervention. They can solve challenging problems that are hard or impossible to solve using traditional methods. Here are some of the examples of how neural networks and artificial neurons are used in real-world scenarios:

Voice assistants: Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa use neural networks to understand spoken language commands and questions. They use trained models based on artificial neurons processing vast datasets of speech and text data. They can also generate natural-sounding responses and perform various tasks, such as playing music, setting reminders, searching the web, etc.
