Very interesting idea ! I do wonder though if sufficiently complex life would ever evolve in an almost completely stable climate.

technically yes, 1 rotation takes the roughly the same time as 1 revolution around the earth which as you were probably hinting at is tidally locked

yes but, by far most cooling systems doesn't need electricity after you lower the control rods and shut down the reactor, that was specific to fukushima.. and even if all 400 reactors melted down it would still be the least of our prob

If something catastrophic enough to instantly cut off there whole grid in the west happens while also ruining all the several backups most plants have, nuclear power plants will be the least of our troubles. Fukushima was a very old design

> One big problem with collapse are the 400+ commercial nuclear reactors in the north hemisphere. Without connection to a working electric grid and regular diesel deliveries those will go boom and will spread enough radioactive material

the thing is though, that you can actually resell your old Mac when buying a new one. not like a pc that's basically worthless the moment you take it out of the store. the upgrading thing is kind of a myth since the new hardware coming

What you pay for is the form factor, the silence, the nice and cool temperatures, the battery life and the ability to actually use the damn thing without being plugged in. added bonus as a dev and a creator is the unified memory, hardware d

Free Abortion is a theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalized_abortion_and_crime_e... . But it's also been criticized. It makes allot of sense to me though. Edit Just saw another poster posted this https:&#x2

do we really know that scaling compute an order of magnitude won't at least get us close? what other "simple" techniques might actually work with that kind of compute ? at least i was a bit surprised by these first sparks, th

the only reason we don't hear non-stop about destruction is that you're required to keep both hands on the wheel/yolk at ALL times while FSD is activated. comparing the current cameras on a Tesla to the human eye is just sill

of course atheism doesn't need a root cause, but you can still justify this default by trying to dive down into why it actually is the default and to me personally when i boil the whole thing down this is sort of the root of why.

many religious interpretations of "living" is that it's magic and beyond the grasp of science. it basically boils down to if you believe that life is an inherent property of matter or if you believe that some magic entity mak

nuclear was green Jesus 50 years ago. Today it's been regulated into oblivion making it super expensive in most of the western world. that doesn't make the technology any less interesting and it still has huge potential as part of

well, the anti nuclear movement makes no sense anyways, so yes they'd probably rather inhale coal particles than have nuclear "close" by

My favorite cyclic theory so far is probably Roger Penrose's conformal cyclic cosmology. In essence the universe keeps expanding exponentially which in the end becomes equivalent to a new big bang since the universe at that point will

The same predictions was probably made, but with nuclear instead of renewables back in the 60s-70s . And frankly it seems like the world could have actually been run almost exclusively by nuclear today if we had realized how bad fossils whe

Depends on the woman and MANY would be attracted to the former. I'm pretty sure most would be better off with the kind of woman who is attracted to the former and that you should stay way clear women who values the latter.

let that sink in for a moment.. even with all the legal tax evasion schemes the top 1% is still paying half of all income taxes with the measly amounts they actually register as income. the system is simply broken

define good camera. it's a bit weird because it often turns out that cameras with user interfaces are cheaper because of economy of scales. that being said, a market for almost barbone sensors on pcb's seems to be building and is

says what evidence? it's pretty much been debunked for a long time, and the whole premise is apparently based on bad science. I'm pretty sure i read an article here on hn that showed that this whole blue light scare was based on o

just like humans. I'm not saying chatgpt can do everything humans can and I'm not saying it's AGI, but it certainly is overlapping with what the human brain cam do

how is that different from humans ? how common is truly original thought in humans ? to my knowledge humans work exactly the same, we "simply" rehash and mix existing ideas and repeat ending up with "novel" concepts. To

also it's winter and much of Europe is pretty far north, so short days and allot of clouds with rain and maybe some snow.

to me it's dogmatic bias to build your whole theory on the letters of one person. myths are created all the time and always has been. i guess my problem really lies with what you call evidence.
