Tomorrow Daily - DARPA just unveiled homing bullets, Ep. 169

2015-04-28
hey you can unlock your phone with your ear now and IKEA has shown us what a kitchen in 2025 might look like Oh at a little military company called DARPA has invented homing bullets so that's not terrifying tomorrow daily greetings citizen to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily best geek talk show I'm Ashley sceva Jeremy's always Caitlyn honest yeah whoa you just I thought you pointed that gun at me with the guided bullets I wouldn't need to actually I mean I'd have to point it at you but then you could run away and it would still hitch I'm totally gonna jump ahead and be like that is exactly like the cf1 from The Fifth Element it's this is insane but we'll get there that's we'll get there in fact let's get there right now it's all headlines someone asks by the way really quick if we could show what we do during these transitions so like can you show what you guys are doing during the transitions and I'm like you don't want to see that yeah you don't like it's back here I take a stick out and I spin the plates I was bouncing ball on my nose I mistake and I like guys take a big bite of steak you eat steak on the break yeah I got energy levels up make those proteins okay this is the news story but this is the news story so DARPA apparently now has homing bullets bullets second change trajectory mid mid shot which is pretty scary this is from DARPA TV the video that we're watching so here's how it works this is DARPA 's xacto which is short for extreme accuracy test Ordinance which is a very good name now allows these target locking bullets to hit a target after it starts moving so before they had these they were working on bullets that could change paths midair to sort of adjust for wind or you know other elements things like that but now it can actually and hit a still target but now these are hitting moving okay so the one footage you were seeing before was an actual pro guy train so nice just some idiot this is just someone trained bozo like me are you using the exact oh no I'm on the pro side but still that's crazy it's all not scary it's a 50 caliber bullet which is not exactly a small bullet and it alters its path is it sort of cuts through the air to strike a target of motion a DARPA to be fair DARPA has not exactly and how this works yeah they're not i would imagine for confidentiality reasons top-secret you know how it works and everything they're not they're not exactly being super forthcoming about the exact technology yeah however i was looking on reddit at all the commenters and we all know reddit is full of experts and so um there were a lot of actual people saying things like what could be optical there could be things like optical sensors low megapixel cameras or motors and fins on the bullet that make corrections from a computer that's mounted on the rifle sounds like a very expensive bullet very expensive bullet I would imagine very expensive not cheap at all which you know might help it not get into the hands of just like me and you would be bad I don't think I have a 50 caliber rifle laying around no 3d print that was a terrible idea so yeah that the trained sniper hit his target and then an untrained sniper hit the exact same target so I don't know what that says whether that is the scariest thing ever or really really cool that they developed it or maybe both scare sighting as we like say no not scare sighting scary scary it's terrifying yeah so there which is like cool for the like military you know buffing me I'm just like cool leave your guns tracking bullets and and dizzy up one fifth element makes me laugh cuz I always think of like people with their aimbots mmm I'm like this is an aimbot and relaxers over here okay gotcha dark was saying that the point of this is to improve sniper effectiveness and enhance troop safety because it increases the time that you can be in a position here's the exact expanding target engagement timelines so the time in which you would need to sort of push it entirely good shave to like ya know but I get I get it this is this is scary that you approach a pro sniper is probably real mad right now yeah I mean I think you Pro snipers out there who have worked very hard for that training probably really annoyed um but that actually so resist or a hashtag of today yeah here's the here's the thing so what do you do like no that would be terrible um this is terrifying like I'm really scared of stuff like this and especially when you think about like sentient robotics like coming like if that ever happens oh yeah use these just shoot us like it's a t-1000 got ahold of this no bueno no good so my query to you and you the viewer is to use the hashtag TV bullets and please put a happier spin on this because I don't want to die of terror tonight in my sleep it's a it's a guided tic-tac and it's for people have bad breath and you know that like guys on a date over there I can you're like he's gonna go for a kiss later and I saw him eating garlic steak like you do like a break and you shoot it and it goes man while he's talking we gotta tighten it though that's stealing from and that goes right into his mouth well it takes act smart it has optical sensors on so just kind of covers okay so there you go there's my delightful spin on I like it well you did that that really great hatred parody where you do I'm good at that I'm good at making really screen evil things like really delightful charming I would like it I would like just like a wit just like a magician where they changed like their magic wand into a flower I would like it to just shoot out a bouquet of roses to people okay like it's it looks like a bullet and then when it gets to you it like goes back and it's like flowers so it's like terrorists and then all of a sudden goes okay TD bullets Phoebe bullets okay cool so that's it we're gonna make that a happier thing so let's let's turn this frown upside down guys yeah tell me about it making of ear lock kind of yeah speaking of air lock I know I just said that I'm going for I'm going for worst transition so we all know that there's new ways to unlock your phone now what with you know the finger touch scan and everything it's a new way of not having to enter in a passcode well over at Yahoo labs they've introduced new technology which they hope to to make available and this is ear lock now this is basically a scanner that you put up to its it's recognized through your screen and it recognizes the shape of your ears so it's basically taking a much larger sample okay okay that's basically the the gist of this it's it's taking it from a larger sample now why is this important Oh weird and the biometrics can't touch ID you have that what we need because the biometric scanner takes up a lot more room where's the this the ear scanner is already like that technology is already in the phone so location because the screen is there because it's using the screen right it's already it's already cheaper it's already there so you could put it in a lot more phones for a lot less less money right okay so emerging markets this is like a thing for people who are not buying iPhone fixes and Galaxy s5 this is this is the future this is the future for more low end phones and more phones adapting this without having to increase their costs right okay so giving giving people who have lower end phones or access to lower end phones the ability to sort of unlock their phone using biometrics yes so there they're saying that they're using the body print they were able to do 99.8 authentic precision Wow so they're ninety-nine point eight percent of the time it knew it was you that is impressive I really like that wow that's cool so so what are they gonna do like what are they gonna do next so they are already working on us they've really good I mean obviously really good testing results but I would imagine probably not that many people have used this yet like are they gonna do it with more yeah they're they're gonna improve the recognition algorithms and they're gonna test it on a larger scale but you know that's awesome yeah I mean being able it's so much safer to be able to have that data on your device as opposed to putting a passcode in or you know cuz that stuff can be cracked and so obviously a screen like that wouldn't be able to read like the little tiny lines on your finger yeah but if you could you know fist bump your phone or whatever you're like hey this bump one looked not very accurate but the ear one kind of makes sense that sort of shape of your fist it sort of remembers it so maybe that's a good thing mm-hmm but the ears one is awesome yeah yeah the airline of the Year one is pretty cool so over at Yahoo labs they're they're trying to get that accessible to two more phones so that's awesome because I don't have that on my phone no and you could have it right in there on your phone yeah so don't have to remember a passcode every time was it three yeah so many do you wanna hear about the kitchen of the future yeah of course the video is pretty cool okay so this is a project a student project that IKEA sort of helped collaborate on and then also IDEO designs which is a London design firm they did this concept kitchen 2025 so they asked some students from two European universities to answer the question what will kitchens be like in 2025 but looks pretty standard right kind of like a little IKEA kitchen no hardware but yeah Harvester yeah okay and they they gave them some parameters they said in designing this kitchen keep things in mind keep in mind that in 10 years we're gonna make some assumptions about the world there's gonna be an aging population fewer children smaller living spaces food scarcity we might see meat be a little bit more scarce around the world and also recycling would be almost required so they gave them there's some sort of rules to kind of go by those are good there's a good rules because I think those are pretty good predictions for the for the next ten years so they displayed this and attempted to make the tech inside the kitchen really subtle so they were like okay we want to make this subtle we want to make it something that is familiar to modern eyes like us right current eyes but something that we would also get a lot out of in the future in ten years so they also wanted to blend in workspace tech so here's what they did they have this really awesome smart table and the table has induction in it so you're able to heat up different pieces of the table now again this is not real it's all it's a design it's a concept this is just total conjecture but there's also a camera that is above and and pointing down at the table and then also projection technology so you can see there's like little trails for the kid pushing his car now somebody puts tomatoes on there okay well I also have this so okay here are some things I can make with those items together if you bring them push them together okay well here is these things that I can make here's these two recipes that are so good for like a bachelor that doesn't know how to cook stuff it's really awesome and also for just like oh I have some leftover this and some leftover that's like what can I do with this and so you can put it together and oh here's what you make so they also have lots of different things like they have these these sort of magazines they have they were saying that one of the things they want to do is they want to do timers they want to be able to do a thing where you can recharge your phone they want to show you how to slice things how to do everything they say okay well I want to start heating up one of these pots like okay here's we're gonna make pancakes like so here's this video they say pancakes okay two eggs here's the milk we're measuring it inside the projection and then also the flour and then once that's done you mix it together and then it heats up a specific part of the wood for induction that you can make your Pig that's really cool but the hololens could probably do this too I was thinking the same thing I was thinking the same that's here this year yeah I just know I like the induction thing though it could be really dangerous but so so what were the workarounds for like the meats and they have anything so I think part of that kitchen was like they say okay so here you go so you'd move it to a specific part of the range I would show you this is where yeah this is where you need to move it to here's and then they would heat it up to a specific temperature or whatever then you put your stuff in there and cook it cool so so yeah I thought that was really neat and they also have this really cool that one safe space to that because ultimately gonna start running it like if you live in a city like you're gonna think about New York yeah like if you could just not have that count like a counter and a stove you could work it works and they also made it a workspace so they were saying they have like you put your coffee down it would keep your coffee warm just in that little tiny spot you put your phone down you'd slide it on to the charging station it would by induction charge your phone they have all these different things you could do like there is this the this kids drawing something and then they're gonna bring it to life with the projection and then be able to like flinging around the table no so yeah I thought this is really neat I thought it's a really good idea I mean obviously it's very lofty this is not something we'll probably see in ten years but but I keya's kitchen and dining range manager says that the project will be used in future product development so maybe we'll see sort of echoes of these types of things and going forward in the future pretty cool really IKEA maybe really you're gonna make some super high-tech stuff we might see like some projection stuff that would be kind of cool but you know they could maybe IKEA will do something in conjunction with hololens maybe it'll say we are working with Microsoft to bring you the kitchen in the future that's something I could definitely see happening just usually when I think of the lowest to end of furniture no offense IKEA I love you that's I think of IKEA so if they make that big step that would be awesome like if they're making like affordable super high-tech type of stuff on it there could be partnerships so I mean that's the thing that may or may not happen in the future but I just thought was really neat wanted to show it's a cool contest it was like for students or they just it wasn't even a contest they just said we want to do this design project for students they picked students from two different universities and they said here are sort of the assumptions about life in ten years that we you'll have to deal with go forth and create the kitchen of the future wow that's very cold I mean behind that that's super cool like all right guys that is it for our headlines we will be right back it is Tuesday so it's time for new releases there's a pretty big one this week and then that I'm sure you're all familiar with and then of course we have your user feedback and our photogra for the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily oh oh and watch these humans as cats in viral videos welcome back to the show we're just shaking our fists at the sky a beautiful drum footage very frustrating very annoying we should have a drone in this studio do some some overhead footage for us Logan is a drone though drone is a that Logan is actually a flying drone he is a sentient flying right Logan unmanned Erik unmanned aerial vehicle that's that's a Logan Asst we haven't told you guys yet I'm sorry secrets out cats out of the bag uh you know it's Tuesday I know you love Tuesdays because it's time to talk about all the fun things that we're gonna be checking out this week so it's new releases there's nothing coming out this week all right so now we go to user feedback just kidding this week if you this has been a long time coming the adventure the adventure game from Double Fine that's where your star token age all right act to just drop Oh double fine so Double Fine fangirl listen I bought a goggle or shirt it's coming in at the end of May I'm very excited I'm percent sure what that is so this is the second act to the Double Fine adventure which was backed on Kickstarter it they asked for 400,000 they got like three point three million dollars Elijah Wood voice is one of the main characters finally act to such amazing it's really good apparently from what I have heard I haven't played it yet I downloaded it last night but didn't have time to dig into it but I played the first half it's a gorgeous it's a gorgeous puzzle game its it reminds me of all the best old kind of point-and-click adventure games um it's great and but the other thing is is that it's also really freaking hard sometimes like it's it can be really tough the puzzles are really tight as a someone who plays a lot of people it's like it's even hard for you yeah there are some there are some things in this because you see switch back and forth between the girl and the boy like they're their characters they have different stories that kind of crash together at the end of the first act I'd only give anything away but they crash together at the end of the first act and then in the second act as far as I'm aware you're gonna spend a lot of time kind of going back and forth between them to sort of catch little clues and like subtle references to how to solve a puzzle on the other side of like the like you might be world yeah it's like really crazy so how many rocks are there just to this is the second half of yeah yeah and apparently this is twice as long as the first act so a lot of people are feeling you know pretty positive about it so a broken age Act two is out on steam so you know pick that up a um you know I don't know if to top of my head because I backed it so they just I've been waiting for it forever so I'm I just got my little coat or whatever for backing it yeah full disclosure I back that on Kickstarter a missile shocker I know it's only on what it's on a steam it's on PC oh all right so they'll also I'm sure released broken age now that it's like a full complete game they'll release it on other other cool platforms and on alright broken age is also on I think it's on iOS as well so an Android they have it up across a bunch of platforms because they raised so much money yeah so that's the only release that's coming out this week no no to your user feedback dang it Carol no um Tropico 5 comes out if you're into Sims have you're in a sim games your play traffic oh I did this on purpose yeah yes it's working it's working any I hope it's working not tráfico 5 look how beautiful is this it's just like sitting oh my god your tropical my weekend is spent right here you're never gonna do anything else this weekend you're not you're gonna be so excited about tropical your Night Watch you're a little island and you're gonna build it all out it's gonna be great yeah Tropico is really good at making commercial I don't know you've seen the ads where it's like stalling dancing see those those are really good so this has been out actually for about a year but it's finally out on ps4 so there are some people I saw online that we're like alright so a new release on ps4 cool ok and that's it you know it's the Avengers age of Ultron I've already bought your ticket this is an indie film very small very small budget I'm really hoping that maybe it gets seen by somebody I mean seriously if you've not bought your tickets for this you're screwed you're not seeing it this weekend that's mine it's selling out everywhere at least in Los Angeles from what I've looked at even on the reserved seating places but yeah get your tickets now to go see this cuz you know it's it's definitely something you're going to see want to see it yeah you're gonna want to see it and I've heard Cale and I have both heard maybe maybe don't see it in 3d maybe see it in 2d because the transfer not as good don't see in 3d that's what's it like I still think if you're gonna go see a movie like this you need to see it like opening day or the shirts you need to see it when everybody's screaming and excited and shouting these are events the the Avengers aren't just like oh yeah such Sunday 4:00 p.m. was born I was eating below my barians film this is a film you have to experience with other nerds go see it this weekend wait in a line if you have to I got reserved seating finest theater with reserved seating that's my favorite I bought my tickets like last week I don't think that's like a universal thing no it's not but there are a lot of years switching over to that which is cool so I'm like I'm literally like middle Center dead center of the theater for a line and I bought him two weeks ago so I can walk in five minutes before the movie starts sit down and I'm good yeah if you're awesome at procrastinating you're gonna have a terrible week or have a terrible time seeing an age of Ultron you're gonna be playing Tropico 5 that's what you're doing all right I think now it is actually time for user feedback Avengers age of Ultron coming out this weekend you guys had some interesting things to say about Konami so much so that one of our users actually sent in a pretty long email and I didn't want to condense it so I'm actually gonna read it on tomorrow's show and we'll discuss but it did I say one thing that I realized last night is that Silent Hill fans deserved Silent Hill said because we've been kicked through the mud it's we've been fans of just like the core of the game and not an actually like solid one and I'm stepping like I'm stepping out there they haven't been amazing I've been great be honest what we deserved it can I give you a suggestion and alternate maybe an alternate don't say fiddle frame I was gonna say fatal frame it's not gonna cut it for me I like middle frame I think it's gonna be really good this one I feel is gonna be maybe the strongest fatal frame be up next with the page I'm sure I'm sure but Silent Hill is is actually in my DNA no you actually blood shake Silent Hill around it's just really upsetting um okay so we got to talk about Konami yesterday we asked you guys use hashtag TV Konami like I said split it up into two days we read your bullets your bullets tweets in tomorrow's tweets on Thursday show we'll do it all together we find Michael wrote in he tweeted us and he said as long as I get Metal Gear Solid I'm happy but my guess is they don't want to list any fiscal info with the SEC team Konami okay so um that makes sense so maybe they don't want to show that maybe they've been losing money maybe they want to tell us market so they they're maybe not doing so hot that might be thing that maybe they don't want to show revenues things like that well again their slot machine their slot machine divisions doing way better so so we'll talk about that tomorrow cuz there's they're like the guy who wrote in wrote a very long email and it's really good and like I said it was so interesting I didn't want to cut it up so we'll read it tomorrow but Neil wrote an new new dad Neil Neil Neil Gill you know our dad oh yeah fresh fresh dad Neil yeah real Ronan says straight to the point the whole traditional Japanese game market is in serious danger becoming defunct some companies such as Square Enix and even Sega are adapting by using Western developers and business practices others like Konami and Capcom are slower to change and I truly believe this is the reason companies are suffering Konami in particulars failing because as crazy as Kojima is considered he's one of the few Japanese developers that embrace the Western culture and integrated it into his games Konami wants the money but doesn't want to move away from the anime boobs and pachinko machines no this pachinko machine first of all pachinko machines are awesome yeah I know he's definitely right about the whole like because like suda51 never does that great no more like Capcom seemed like he made a good point Capcom and Konami are kind of in the same sort of boat where it's like they're kind of middling right now and nobody really knows what's gonna happen and you know we'll see well it's not like they've been really knocking a park with their Resident Evil games true HD remake that's a pretty cool idea yeah but that's a remake I mean I'll give me something fresh give me something new I don't want I'm timing my nostalgia reserves are getting dangerously low like I need some new stuff guys like I love listen I love adaptations of comic books I love I love all these comic book shows and movies we're getting I love all these some of the remakes they're okay some and like and a lot of these like book adaptation of a great like Hunger Games but guys where's my new stuff like I want something new on my nostalgia is low I'm done I don't have any left I've no nostalgia excitement to give about things it's fair I'm not to ration out now I've so many games all that indie game world that's why I love indie game so much that's right that's why you're double fine lady that's why I enjoy what Double Fine does now am I happy that it took them so long to get out a game that we gave three night three almost three and a half million dollars - yes no no not super thrilled about that but it is a really good game and I'd rather have it late than never I'd rather have people making those games and being a little and being late on the development cycle as opposed to never being able to have those games because they're so good so there you go so that's it for user feedback we'll get to the last Konami email tomorrow because it's really good um okay so that being said we got to talk about our phone talker for the day sorry I was doing stuff on the break I know he was kale also likes to rape during the break Hanna's glow sticks out but he threw them right before we came back I had a spirit hood and everything it was crazy he plays very paranoid in tomorrow yes Thursday maybe Thursday Thursday it comes off the rails Thursday oh where spirit hood carlos wrote in and said i took this picture of my city i'm gonna try really hard to pronounce this carlos and don't make fun of you me if I mess it up okay I'm gonna give you a chance to do it to hear uh tegu Ted Gucci Java I think that's what it is Tegucigalpa Tegucigalpa is that what you got you feel yeah yeah yeah okay Tegucigalpa Honduras from my boyfriend's apartment using the panorama mode of my iphone six-plus greetings from here I love your show so yeah that's that's Honduras threadable that looks so cool I like I like how it's you know it's really I like how it's so kind of urban and rural at the same time yeah like you get kind of that feeling that you're in a really you're in a big city but it's also kind of like people have space mm-hmm I like that like that a lot delightful picture that's a great shot well done sir well done and if you would like to have your photography featured on the show you can email it to us tomorrow at cnet.com tell us a little story
