Nuclear batteries have been around for ages. You used to be able to get a plutonium (P-238, 88-year half-life) pacemaker, back in the 70's, vs today's lithium-based(and cheaper to produce) pacemakers with an average battery life of about 8 years. There are still people living with the same pacemaker half a century later, rather than having to go in for battery replacement surgery every decade.

This month went by QUICK!

[@channel_alan]

Not QUIC enough 😉

Surprisingly short coverage for the product named 'I cannot fulfill that request' I find the news delivery easy, accurate, yet relaxing too, thank you Level1Techs team

[@ZMOT7S]

Another great episode. Thanks L1 team

[@GainingDespair]

Someone just flying on the planes often with pocket snakes laughing like an evil villain whenever they let one loose.

[@rabbirt]

Love how this show can make me feel understood and alienate me all in the same episode

[@personaldronerepair6141]

"I don't wanna live on this planet anymore!" I know why you feel that way. 😀

[@emilgustafsson4976]

Perfect timing for the morning dog walk, and nearly long enough to cover the whole hour walk, tyvm 😎

[@SirReptitious]

Geez you are the king of rounding up, eh? 39 mins or 60 mins, same thing.......

[@emilgustafsson4976]

@@SirReptitious The newest LTT and this one covered my 62 walk almost once second 😎

[@kuhluhOG]

8:45 I actually think that this makes sense. Think about, most jobs in low-developed countries are manual/physical labour. That makes them considerably harder to automate by AI than some random desk job.

[@opshlds]

Thanks folks! As always, these stories make the mornings just a little more tolerable! Appreciate yous!

[@jGRite]

As I was scrolling through my subscription feed I couldn't find Friday's video with ease.

[@javierortiz82]

33:00 when Ryan said that Bobby wasn't with us anymore, I seriously thought it was Bobby Kottick lmao

[@josephkelly4893]

What a story to finish the week!!! Thanks 😮

[@CannonC0cker]

Krista's reaction was priceless lol. What a world we live in.

[@glockmatics]

Love the background, still looks good on CRT!

[@felixcosty]

What is the background?

[@SirReptitious]

I agree 100% about the geometry vs algebra. I remembering struggling greatly in Algebra 1, and I think I know why. Grades 1-9 I was taught in terms of REAL numbers representing ACTUAL items. So I didn't have a problem with word problems like a lot of students do either. The answer was ALWAYS tangible even if it was a fraction, because fractions are tangible. Then I meet Algebra 1, where I am taught that the ANSWER to a problem can be something like 2y over x. That is NOT an answer; that's just a whole NEW problem to solve! Unless you can place 2y over x hundred dollar bills in my hand that problem has not been completed. I think if they had started sneaking it in years earlier a little at a time my mind would have comprehended it better. Instead for me it was like being taught in English grades 1-9 and then in 10th being told "In 10th, 11th, and 12th you will be taught solely in Japanese". I aced Geometry easily, because it was based on the real physical world, none of that 2y over x shit in sight! Even the Proofs in geometry where you had to write out all the statements that explained exactly how you knew it was true was simple to me, because it was completely logical and obvious. I could knock out a 15-20 step proof in like 30 seconds. 95% of the class thought proofs were the hardest thing ever invented and took forever to do one, which just blew my mind...

[@JIAroJIy4]

I would assume that this is more applicable to the USA way of teaching those subjects. Yeah, people can just lunge at me "you're the outlier!" but I never had problems with algebra, geometry or physics, from middle school up to university level. And generally those two subjects are usually taught by the same person, so, on average, comprehension level is the same for both subjects.

[@vincei4252]

Amazon speed running 100% people refusing to use any of their services. I've already paused Prime, music and Kindle. I've never and will never use Alexa but it's just another sign of the rot.

[@Aloha_XERO]

I’ve watched and listened to many L1 Show Links with Friends and have never heard the infamous “Boiler Snake” but boy did I hear and felt that deep rumble like as if I had elephant ears lol 😅 5:22

[@AlexSchendel]

The battery that they want to scale from 100 microwatts to 1 watt... But that will fundamentally require 10000x more volume... Or the breaking of physical laws?

[@the.scarlet_witch.official]

@22:35 not just alter taste, but encourage predators to come and munch the caterpillars and other things munching on them. There's a lot more to this than we understand yet but its very interesting! ☺

[@gin3648]

Might want to double check the intro, it says Jan 24 2024. Happy Australia Day!

[@AlexSchendel]

Peregrine Lunar Lander was always on a planned trajectory to come back to the Earth. It was supposed to then go back out to the moon to intercept, but since they'd lost too much fuel, they adjusted their trajectory to make sure they could burn up in the atmosphere and stay over an uninhabited part of the ocean. Thankfully, NASA has five more lunar landers on queue for this year as part of the CLPS program. Hopefully they will be much more successful.

[@mickgibson370]

I had geometry in 5th grade and I trigonometry 6th grade, so when I was a senior in HS in trigonometry I learned 9 types of religions. The teacher had doctor's in mathematics and religion!

[@joshuaclark9545]

Today's episode just feels like if I was watching the start of the society in Psycho-Pass

[@VastCNC]

Tomatoes from farms are usually picked green and artificially ripened with ethylene gas

[@MMBaconslice]

So I came back to this one to finish the last story; I guess it was a mistake. :D Keep up the good work!

[@porforyticbasalt]

man, nuclear batterteries, that could lead to extra spicy laptops and phones.

[@hannahtimson2526]

I don't want to live on this planet any more!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kuhluhOG]

18:35 How high will the chances be that this tech (if it works) will be put into use as Anti-Air weaponry? Very.

[@weirdopepsidude]

25:00 I will never forget the Halloween where a man in a banana costume was chased through my community college by a man in a gorilla costume.

[@Bare_Essence]

Two questions: 1) Does an AI get maternity leave when it births a new AI? 2) When will it be illegal in Texas to abort an AI that has begun its training?

[@jh491]

Sad part is they do that "medical" procedure here all the time

[@GalvayraPHX]

I thought Wendel @12:34 said "AI bird identifies binoculars" ;) Guess that'll be next week...

[@mikes2381]

The gas leak detecting dogs' neighbors ALL NEED TO CHECK THEIR GAS LINES NOW!!!! TODAY. Well, weeks ago. 😬 If that person's lines were like that, what about everyone around them?

[@NoNamenoonehere]

I think they do ,do removals BUT it's only in rare extreme medical conditions

[@nazgulsenpai]

Seeing that red knife made me physically wince

[@dgo4490]

A laser would probably create more untraceable debris from those that can be traced, and will certainly disperse way too much to make a hole in an alien ship ;)

[@Bare_Essence]

Wendell's yummy treat comment and pods returned in search. So, I looked that up. Did you know that Snickers makes a yummy (assumed) treat called Pods! lol

[@L0wPull]

Ending on a totally cheerful note there eh 😜

[@tee_es_bee]

02:15 One random data point: Can confirm, I am great with algebra, rubbish with geometry.

[@solidreactor]

Please end with some cat picture stories next time hahaha

G'morning cybet frens :>

Love the background

[@The_Angry_Medic]

Don't forget, the failed moon lander also had the ashes of Arthur c Clark in Gene Roddenberry 😢

YAAY!!! It's Friday!!!

Ug, don't google the last story if you have a weak stomach

[@Oktokolo]

Making the environment wheelchair-friendly to accomodate delivery bots is a pretty unexpected win-win. Maybe it's a good idea to just aim for a "wheelchair" with arms design instead of bipeds for demostic use too - way more space for batteries and you get a lower center of mass and therefore better intrinsic stability.

Wendell is 100% right about higher ed. Its all useless admin and bloat now. So little thought or care is given to the actual student teaching experience

[@ronnyspanneveld8110]

Come on its 2024 your local doctor will chop off your hardware in the US. You guys been living under a rock ?

No Wendell.... "you will own nothing and be happy" is not capitalism.... it is socialism or communism.

[@Eric-lb6pn]

You should check your facts about book banning., You got most of them wrong. The legislation intends to restrict books in the state’s schools that are “alleged to contain pornography or obscene depictions of sexual conduct.” Unless that is something you think children should have access to. O'Reilly had 2 books banned not all. Killing Reagan: The Violent Assault That Changed a Presidency and Killing Jesus: A History neither considered obscene. It is Escambia County School District doing this to make the legislation appear inane. Took about 90 sec to find these FACTS.

Why are the stories always so old? Read about these a week ago.

[@sanriosonderweg]

Its not filmed daily and most people don't have enough time to keep up with every story so its fine.
