China unveils detailed goals for 5G-aided Industrial Internet of Things development

Posted by in categories: chemistry, information science, internet, robotics/AI

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on Saturday released its second batch of extended goals for promoting the usage of China’s 5G network and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

IIoT refers to the interconnection between sensors, instruments and other devices to enhance manufacturing efficiency and industrial processes. With a strong focus on machine-to-machine communication, big data and machine learning, the IIoT has been applied across many industrial sectors and applications.

The MIIT announced that the 5G IIoT will be applied in the petrochemical industry, building materials, ports, textiles and home appliances as the 2021 China 5G + Industrial Internet Conference kicked off Saturday in Wuhan, central China’s Hubei Province.

How To Learn Anything Faster Like Elon Musk

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, education, Elon Musk, neuroscience, space travel

Everyone talks about learning methods, but few people can find realistic and genuine methods that provide a net profit in the types of information and application.

Elon Musk has broken through that barrier by employing learning techniques that have been proven time and time again to be successful. Musk may be said to have taken use of his education by becoming a disruptor. He and his businesses have transformed entire industries, such as transportation, energy, and space.

He recently stated at a press conference that his plans for his biotech company, Neuralink, are proceeding well, implying that he will likely move his focus in the near future to yet another sector. Musk is, without even a doubt, a once-in-a-generation genius. Possibly on par with Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, and Isaac Newton. He tackles things in a different way than the typical entrepreneur.

Intel Tiger Lake Core i7-11800H CPU now available for desktops thanks to Maxsun HM570 motherboard

Posted by in category: computing

Intel NUC 11 is no longer the only ‘desktop’ system with Tiger Lake silicon.

If Maxsun were to release their newest motherboard a month earlier, this would actually be the first proper desktop platform featuring Intel 10nm node. However, this is no longer the case since Alder Lake desktop CPUs with Intel 7 (10nm Enhanced SuperFin) are now available in stores.

Calls grow for US to bolster defense against asteroid threat

Posted by in categories: asteroid/comet impacts, existential risks, government, law

Experts are sounding the alarm about the threat of asteroids to life on Earth — and warning that the United States does not have a clear plan to prevent catastrophe.

Though NASA says the odds are literally one in a millennium, no US agency is explicitly responsible if space rocks are headed our way.

“No one is tasked with mitigation,” former Air Force space strategist Peter Garretson, an expert in planetary defense told Politico. “Congress did put in law that the White House identify who should be responsible, but fully four subsequent administrations so far have blown off their request.”

Magnetene: Graphene-like 2D material leverages quantum effects to achieve ultra-low friction

Posted by in categories: engineering, quantum physics

A team of researchers from University of Toronto Engineering and Rice University have reported the first measurements of the ultra-low-friction behavior of a material known as magnetene. The results point the way toward strategies for designing similar low-friction materials for use in a variety of fields, including tiny, implantable devices.

This Woman Designed Her Own Small House Made From 3 Shipping Containers

Posted by in categories: food, habitats

This magnificent shipping container container home near Lake Taupo, New Zealand, is worth checking out. This compact shipping container house was designed and built by Brenda Kelly of IQ Container Homes, and it has been raised to provide views of Lake Taupo. Three 20-foot shipping containers were used to form the tiny house’s design. Inside, there’s an open living area and kitchen that take use of the views, as well as a sliding door that leads to a deck with stairs leading down to the yard. This amazing concept, which includes covered parking beneath the container home design and a covered terrace with amazing views of the surrounding area, is guaranteed to inspire you.

The living area and kitchen are open-plan in the shipping container home. A plywood accent wall, which matches the living room wall and serves as a backdrop for the bed, can be found. A closet with sliding mirrored doors is on the opposite wall, and the bed lifts to show even additional storage. A plywood accent wall might be found in a tiny bedroom. When visitors come to visit, the shipping container home contains a home office with a wide desk that can be converted into a bed.

The IQ Container houses are made of non-corrosive Corten steel, are built to last, and are 100% recyclable when they are no longer needed. They can work with you on a custom design that matches your needs, or they can use eco-principles like passive solar and cross ventilation in their basic practical designs. Off-site building reduces waste and disruption on the job site.

Musk, Brazilian govt discuss deal to provide rural Internet, monitor Amazon

Posted by in categories: education, Elon Musk, government, health, internet, satellites

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 16 (Reuters) — Elon Musk and Brazilian Communications Minister Fabio Faria met in Austin on Tuesday to discuss a potential partnership that would leverage SpaceX technology to bring Internet to rural schools and cut back on illegal deforestation.

In a statement, the Brazilian government said the two talked about how SpaceX and Starlink, a satellite broadband service offered by the firm, could help monitor the Amazon rainforest for illegal cutting, while also providing Internet connections to remote schools and health centers.

“We’re working to seal this important partnership between the Brazilian government and SpaceX,” Faria said, according to the statement. “Our objective is to bring Internet to rural areas and remote places, in addition to helping control fires and illegal deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.”

Couple Build Amazing Shipping Container Home For Debt-Free Living

Posted by in categories: habitats, internet

Meet Jaimie and Dave, shipping container homeowners who decided to make their dreams come true by building a tiny house out of shipping containers. On their website, you can follow their incredible tiny house journey and learn everything there is to know about building a tiny home. Their tiny house ambitions began after they realized that no matter how many hours they worked or how much money they saved, keeping up with the others around them was weighing them down. They realized they didn’t want to do it any longer, so the pair took a life-altering decision to change the course of their narrative.

After erecting a little house on their new property, the primary intention was to be mortgage-free. They had a small savings account and some basic abilities. Jaimie is an accountant/controller who has never been afraid of a challenge and enjoys the thrill of problem-solving and thinking outside the box. Dave is a fabricator, so metal was right up his alley, and Jaimie is an accountant/controller who has never been afraid of a challenge and enjoys the thrill of problem-solving and thinking outside the box. They convinced themselves that they could accomplish it and set off on their quest.

They spent months scouring the internet for information on how to build a shipping container home and reading all they could find. They discovered they were practically precisely where they started after months of investigation and study. The couple had no idea how to construct a shipping container home. They discovered the internet, as well as a few of resources from other DIYers, to be somewhat useful, but nothing that worked with what the couple intended to achieve. So they reasoned that putting two metal boxes together and making them livable couldn’t be that difficult, and that it couldn’t be that expensive.
