I can pretty reliably guess that approximately 100% of all companies in the world use excel tables for financial data and for processes. Ok, this was a joke. It's actually 99.99% of all companies. One would think that financial data, i

We just went from absurdly insanely hard task, to a task I'd guess a thousand times harder. A communicator and observer probe is almost impossible enough, but to additionally preserve biological tissue for thousands of years in space i

To send and then slow a device of meaningful size across ten or hundreds of light years would require an enormous amount of energy, like truly incomprehensible amount. Then a civilization would need to produce them in millions and send to e

The problem with that impressive 100500σ figure, is that she refuses to provide code which she supposedly used to supposedly prove that Earth shadow has some influence on these dots on the images made from photo plates. I.e. this 22σ figure

Finally found the post I was looking for: https://medium.com/@izabelamelamed/not-seeing-the-star-cloud... In my opinion it's a pretty damning conclusion. I would love to see some explanation from the ufology crowd

That's not the post I'm trying to find, unfortunately. That one was on substack I think, but I'm not sure by now. As for good debunking - come on, it's supposedly thousands of crafts, supposedly in the same orbit (becaus

This belongs at r/ufos, not on a HN. To anyone who is new to this - one scientist, Beatrice Villarroel, promotes a theory that old photoplates from mid 20th century, show multiple UFOs because there were discrepancies between two pictu

If we go purely by economics, then Anthropic belongs to the same category of LLM corporations - ones which have only LLM as a product. As opposed to the likes of Google, Microsoft, even Facebook. Sure, these LLM-first corporations have a ve

A human child not taught literally anything can see some interesting item extend a hand to it, touch it, interact with it. All decided by the child. Heck, even my cat can see a new toy, go to it and play with it, without any teaching. LLMs

The problem is for a majority of those tasks people conveniently "forget" the actual start and end of the process. LLMs can't start most of those tasks by it's own decision and neither they can't end and evaluate th

Most states are Republican only because of first past the post system. If states internally did democratic majority elections, then most of them would turn progressive very fast. Including Texas, which is already democratic, but is suppress

If states are so independent and equal that they demand exact same legislative power as fifty times bigger states, then maybe that equality should be full? Like for example equal federal monetary transhes to every equal state? And equal tax

National mandatory holiday for voting would eliminate soo many issues and concerns. It really should be a must in every country, at least for the biggest elections. Inbefore "lazy urupeons are wrong, no holidays is the only true way!!!

I heard this concern and looking at the MAGA it is totally believable. But really, how can a country disenfranchise anyone, if they will issue a mandatory national ID? If it is not national (state or lower) or if it not mandatory (voluntary

And enforce national photo ID finally, like all other countries. I know this is a REP take, but they are absolutely correct in this particular issue.

Complaining about electronic voting (absolutely valid and reasonable take btw) while living in the country with first past the post election system, is like complaining about bad wall insulation in a house which is on fire. Yes, insulation
