Why are we still using Bluetooth?!

I have never used a pair of Bluetooth devices that works flawlessly. The latest addition to the set, is my new Windows 8/ASUS laptop which simply refuses to find my Sony Bluetooth headset.

Whys is this, and why is there no improvement. I have been frustrated with this now for 10 years, and the same issues still persist. What is the wireless community planning to do about this?

A new answer to the Fermi paradox

I read a very interesting blog post about what the new big thing after IoT, drones and 3D printing will be. They name it the continuum. Of course, they are right. Further, recently, I also look at the two pod casts from Kurzgesagt about the Fermi paradox where the filter theory and other ideas about solutions to the Fermi paradox are discussed.

I have previously discussed an idea to a solution, and here is another one:

Maybe the transition for any species from "primitive" to "transcended" is of the order of a couple of thousand years. Thus, the time span is so short that the state we are now is only shared between one or very few intelligent species at a given time. Hence no one to talk to.

The "transcended" state could consist of us morphing into a single organism using the continuum as discussed in the above blog.

Is it time to skip the traffic signs?

Everyone has a personal navigator these days, so when can we start reducing the traffic signs? That would relax driving distraction, reduce cost and make the overall experience in terms of viewing the surrounding more pleasant.


Or maybe there should instead be something to help the GNSS systems, and in extension the autonomous cars, navigate?

Being an artist with focus on topology...

... really limits your audience.

But it also relaxes the requirements on drawing capabilities:

Could getting rid of sim-cards be a part of 5G?

SIM-cards are really outdated! People have been asking for years when they will be abounded. But it is not easy to replace such an integral part of the mobile systems. So, maybe do the right thing put as an item for our 5g systems to replace the sim-cards with something better?

About the structure of the transcend

Assume the human race has become what it is using evolution. Then that process should have optimized us as beings for the scenarios we encounter in our everyday lives. If we can conceive other processes, one can be inclined to believe that it is only a lucky coincidence that the structure of those processes is similar enough for us to grasp.

Thus, if we can assume that there is something that has a structure that has no resemblance what so ever with our reality. This will constitute the transcend and we will have no way to describe or understand that structure.

However, for this to have no resemblance with our reality, there can be no point of contact with our reality either. If there is, this point will have to have structure that is "compatible" with the reality we know of. And hence can be described.

With this kind of reasoning, if there is such a thing as the transcend, it is of no interest for us, since it does not interact with our reality at all.

This reasoning does not rule out that there are things in our reality that we can not understand, but it tell that if there is structure of the kind described above, it is of no interest for us. Hence, arguing that an entity such as god belongs to the transcend is only to argue that god is of no interest to us. Further, if it is claimed that god interact, or has done so in the past, with our reality, the god structure falls within the category of reality above.
