    So many event this year... difficult to pin down, and whilst more grateful for Alzheimer's advancements, I think LLMs will have some or close to most impact in the short term. Solid State batteries sounds amazing, though I think we must strive to decouple from fossil fuels with what is available more than wait for fundamentally new metallurgy and chemical compounds to sufficiently ramp up. I learn so much from your presentations, so many thanks :> Though, why place non-adsense midway through video? More people appear to be coalescing around the expectation of mutual consideration in light of more sympathy for creators in how little YT pays now. If non-adsense were placed at very front/back/both, but *not interrupting like TV,* I think more people would appreciate that immensely, and be more inclined to take offers.

    MIT was working on Cognito Therapeutic's Brain Wave Entrainment using Flickering Light Simulation and Multi-Sensory Stimulation to activate Glial Cells to target Amyloid, its effectiveness in recent studies was around a 30% decrease in disease progression as measured by brain volume decrease. The Lily's medicine also slows disease progression by around 30%, is on market, but has brain hemorrhaging as one of its adverse side effects. This means that older study shows potential for something with fewer side effects, and similar effectiveness, and it has the same therapeutic target.

    I've been using Ozenpic for the last 18 months +- and lost about 26Kg. It helps a lot but it just makes the dieting easier. I still had to change my eating habits and reduce/replace the many tasty things I indulged in. Coincidentaly I did a check-up today and my IMC is now normal, my blood pressure is also back to normal, my liver fat is gone, etc. I now need to increase my muscle mass but that's expected.

    Plasmogen therapy that allows the mitochondria to regenerate, gives more ATP and cell energy. This in turn provides cells with ability to clean out junk, repair DNA, and regain lost function. Trials have shown a reversal of Alzheimer's disease. One patient who could not walk, talk or recognize family members, after two weeks of plasmogen treatment, was walking and talking with her family that she knew. If verified would definitely be an S.

    This video is so cool! Thank you for making it. Out of all of them, large language models are the most _terrifying_ new breakthrough, and that's certainly big in its way. The three medical breakthroughs are probably the most helpful in terms of saving lives and making life better for people. And other things like the ion engine, making oxygen on Mars and the discoveries of the James Webb telescope are extremely awesome. But for me, the discovery of background gravitational waves is probably the coolest breakthrough. The competition is tough, but that idea of using pulsars to determine how far Earth has shifted is just amazing.

By measuring the waves, scientists are learning something about the universe that we couldn't otherwise perceive.

    As a dietetics student who is focusing heavily on obesity, I feel like semaglutide is at least worth a B tier classification. Or at least it would be if it were new in 2023. We've been aware of the weight-control potential of semaglutide as far back as 2020 (if not earlier). Also, don't sleep on 15% weight loss - that's 30 lbs in those weighing 200 lbs as a starting weight and most individuals being prescribed these drugs are starting at a much higher weight than that. Furthermore, gaining weight when getting off the medicine is a weird double standard that doesn't exist with other drugs - blood pressure medicine is considered effective if it lowers blood pressure as long as someone stays on it, but nobody acts like it's worthless if blood pressure goes back up when a person stops taking the drug. All that said, one new thing that happened in 2023 was Tirzepatide being approved for weight management. This stands out because Tirzepitide is both works on both GLP-1 and GIP pathways and it has also been demonstrated as being more effective than semaglutide. The future of weight management pharmacology is looking promising, the present is pretty hopeful itself too.

    On Fusion power, just wanted to note we have to figure out how to manage the immense neutron radiation produced by fusion reactions first before there is anything practical. We are using Deuterium and Tritium to produce the Helium product and there is an extra neutron produced in that fusion reaction. The other option of simple Deuterium and Deuterium, in which an extra neutron is not produced, requires many more times the pressure and temperature that we are using now and is just outside of anything we could ever do probably. The neutron radiation is just going to destroy everything around a Tritium and Deuterium reaction process. A Lthium or Boron jacket is just not going to work after a few hours.

    I think there were plenty of archeological discoveries that you couldve added to the list while not necessarily anywhere near the top of the list worthy some of them i would argue definitely have a profound impact on society so maybe i the future i would include news out of the archeology field.

    Chat GTP has been pretty great as a tool for finding out what question I need to ask when I have a hard time putting it into words. An example would be I have little to no knowledge about a subject but I know what I dont know. It is a really good starting point and leads to me asking better questions.

    Do black holes differ in their physical dimensions... length, width, height? Or are they all the same size and differing masses?

  • @ArmyGuyClaude

    @ArmyGuyClaude

    4 ай бұрын

    They differ. A formula called the Schwartzchild radius determines how big the event horizon of any black hole would be. There are also differing types of black holes like resting mass black holes, these are black holes that don’t spin and Kerr black holes which are black holes that do spin. It is more than likely that all black holes have some amount of spin, but it is uncertain. We mainly have resting mass black holes as an idea because the math was easier for them before Kerr introduced his formula for spinning black holes.

    It is also of fun note that all spinning black holes wouldn’t necessarily be perfectly spherical but instead more oval as the equator of the spinning black hole would be wide than at its north and south poles much like earth.

    As much as I think Generative AI deserves its own category above S-Tier, the Gemini demo referred to turned out to be a fake and ChatGPT was released in 2022.

    My mom has been on ozempic for almost a year. Has lost enough weight for her hip surgery. The amount she lost is about 20 years worth (last time she looked like she does now 20 years ago. She has gained a lot over that time. About 60 lbs) I'm considering using it so I can drop 30 lbs that i can't seem to lose. I'm military so you have an idea that i keep up with physical fitness. But as the years keep going, the lbs keep coming too. Mind you i don't eat like a pig.

    Even though it is confirming what was expected for antimatter, I consider the antimatter result an S-tier finding in that while it was still unknown the potential ways all of cosmology and the future of space travel changed dramatically (for the worse, but still a major change). For instance, had antimatter also been anti-gravity then building gravitationally inert spaceships would be possible. Expensive with todays tech, but with near-term fusion tech a real possibility. Apart from that one, I agree with all your other findings. As well this negates the idea that antimatter dispersed from matter gravitationally and vastly reduced the likelihood that we'll be running into antimatter galaxies out there.

    Imo chat gpt is a minor step forward the only breakthrough is in more extensive databases they've stolen off the Internet and better marketing. Since the release is where the real improvements have came about in regards to how it has spurred other companies to also start putting more funding into development and the vast amounts of user data that can be used to improve the software that didn't exist before. Frankly the whole "AI" hype is just a marketing ploy.

    As with most of our discoveries, when we find answers we are faced with many more questions. Explanation being a big example. We have discovered thousands of planets but know very little about them. My big interest is in Gen 4 nuclear fission reactors. So far wind and solar provide less than 10%of our energy. We need more options for low carbon energy. China now has 2 operating Gen 4 research reactors. By 2030 some Western nations may have some. Current reactors in common use are barely economical and have other problems. Gen 4 reactors use the laws of physics for frater safety, lower cost and cleaner energy. Gen 4 reactor development is accelerating slowly with limited investment. Gen 4 is a vital option that needs greater investment and government support.
