The material cost of software is $0.

This is like making reference to "Free health care".

Not in this world.

Material cost is zero, specification cost is modest, development
cost is getting serious, and reliability testing cost is
horrendous.

Lapin is a f**king genious.
I was watching eagles soaring over my property
today, and their feathers twitch, as a result of a
fine tuned central nervous system that has evolved
over millions of years. Now that ability is beyond
mechanics, but is readilly possible with a computer,
that may duplicate that flight ability, complete
with feedback, such that, the control surface also
does a measurment.
Birds work that all the time.
I'm still insane
