>how many have crashed for various reasons so far?
How much the F-35 has crashed during development and early deployment is actually very low compared to previous planes like the F-15

Average syllable count per second varies across languages. But when the linked study looked at how fast information is actually conveyed they all do so at roughly the same rate.

This sounds like a pretty dope service if it doesn't already exist

I typically watch tv at 2-3x speed and suspect that i'd be able to close to 2x speed if my tongue were more nimble. In Japanese i convey information probably 1.5x the speed i do in English (my native language). Simply because it supports faster speaking.

We actually have an early brainwave to images ai now, release was a few months ago. Still needs a few years before it'll do arbitrary images though.

What you can do now is record your voice before the disease takes your ability to speak. Then, when you need to use a text-to-speech program, it can use your real voice, rather than a generic one.

Yeah really hoping this gets refined.
US Army soldiers are ALMOST Ghost Recon IRL. This really could be amazing technology, it's just not practical in it's current form.

I’d be interested in understanding it’s technology better- primarily regarding its capability of transmitting specific frequencies.

They didn’t do anything with the iPhone. It was for a couple of generations an incredibly shit product.

We need to stop trying to make VR happen. As a global civilization. It’s time to move on.

No they didn't, the issue was, if you're not used to VR, you could get motion sick. I've used it a lot and think it's a great training and briefing tool, but not everyone needs one.

The engineers aren't developing this in isolation and trying to get soldiers to use them - The DoD likely put out an RFP with specific requirements that they're looking for, and there are obviously clear limitations with how technology can be developed. The DoD and other agencies solicit a ton of proposals and contracts aimed at solving what they seem to be problems, and many of them are unusable due to practical considerations like you've highlighted.
