I’m not a scientist, but I’m thinking you could just have a different frame rate for each eye

Wouldn't machine learning be implemented in these robots so that they would recognize that a propeller would exist even though they might not directly see them?

It’s not possible, and fundamentally never will be possible to ask for someone’s consent to being conceived, so it’s absurd to complain that nobody asked you. It’s like complaining that you have to breath oxygen in order to live.

You focused so hard on standing still that you inhibited your toes and feet from balancing your body

I also wouldn't consider that "falling"

No animal in nature gets to survive without “working” why would humans be any different?

What would your fantasy world look like?

Humans have limited readout speed from their eyeballs as well. There's a lot of image processing that goes on. They'll probably just increase the readout speed of cameras or use global shutter. BTW, the problem you are describing is called rolling shutter.

This is the exact (correct) answer I was just about to type.

I also see this a lot with car tires. If you watch a video of someone on a dyno, you'll likely start to see the tires slow down and then go backwards.

Indeed it is. There are two different types of cells responsible for visual stimulus. "Rods", as they are known, are responsible for differences in light intensity while "cones" are responsible for colour differential. Colour blind people don't necessarily have less eye cells overall, but rather a deficiency of cone cells. The totality of cells is comparable to a normal sighted person and the lack of cones is made up by rods, which in turn can cause an increase in light sensitivity for colourblind individuals.

Thank you man who tried that weird shit... its still the same but with more pig face and no intestine (possibly). And I for one will take as many sausages in the mouth as I can take!

I don’t know who lernean hydra is… but it sounds pretty NERDY!! Too bad I’m not a nerd. SORRY!

Your Acting as if I didn’t get 400 upvotes on r/Lithuania a few weeks ago…. LOL! I know your jealous ASF!!

Now let’s see how many upvotes your posts get….. OH YEAH….. ZERO!!!!!!!!!!

Know who your talking to BUD. I have 10,000 Reddit karma whilst you have 0 to none.

Yeah a gated community thats more dangerous inside it than outside

All I gotta say is this is honestly pathetic. I know you think you’re doing something, but your post will die in new like all your other ones do.

That seems more like an opinion based on your emotions. Maybe we don't have sufficient technology to detect other lives in the universe. My grandfather didn't even had a tv when they were kids. It's too soon. We're not as technologically advanced.

We're not even sure about the creation of the universe. We constantly disprove our own theories.

You can't theorise about what a sufficient intellect would realize because you are not one. We barely even have some resemblance of a.i.

I still have to wipe my own ass and make my own food. I don't have a robot for these. I can't even fly to the moon. We're still monkeys in the grand scheme of things.

We're not even masters of our own planet. Not only that but we also don't know exactly how our own bodies function. We're not even sure what the optimal nutrition is and we've been eating food for so many years.

Philosophy is just a couple of thousand years old. We're just now beginning to think for ourselves. We need better tools to see the universe.

Chill the fuck out with the replies. I reply once, you reply twice. I reply to both of those, you make 3 replies. You’re the fucking Lernean hydra of Reddit. Dios mía

I only feel natural watching tv while lying down, or at least sitting at a 45° angle, because as a kid our TV is hanged high between the wall and the ceiling and we would lie down on the couch to watch it.

Now I know why we have the TV in such an awkward position. I think my parents are geniuses

Humans have the same frame-rate issue. However, we also have a sense of awareness.

Knowing that something spinning quickly creates sound and a draft is enough of a warning sign to be aware of danger.

Pattern recognition in robots should produce the same results.
