Thanks. Forgot this version. There's also a "slightly" different version of "we exist in a different timeframe / timespeed / dimension." Star Trek TNG "Time's Array Part 1/2" had the

Kind of a worldbuilding stackexchange response, yet other reasons aliens might not interact (from a "they exist" perspective). Hitchhiker's Guide - We're just not very interesting. The aliens exist, have noticed the Ear

Honestly, still mildly crazy. If: - Whatever Star Trek says about warp reactors (matter / antimatter reaction) is valid. Reacts "some" amount of matter/antimatter every second. - Klingon Bird of Prey can maintain an ef

This is actually what I started thinking when I got to the end of the article. Maybe just immediate human snatch and grab cynicism. That the author hired somebody to dump review, does something fishy with money like those above noted, and

The movie example is an exaggeration (in my opinion). I find that mostly Google Search has issues with related ideas (Microsoft Project Silica) where there is not a direct article, yet a reference. Ex: [1] There is also what I would call a

Three things. 1. I read to the bottom of this, and somebody's like "BTW, Altman has no equity." Really, the CEO and a board member has no equity? 2. The CIA joined the board (former, whatever, you're CIA)? And suddenly

Anybody know of a way to look up the data available on yourself over these Real-Time Bidding (RTB) broadcasts? (Similar to page 11 of the report) [1] It would be fascinating/creepy to see what category ad networks have lumped me into

The Rivian portion is interesting because it seems like there's an implied failure mode not being acknowledged, where Rivian pretends to work, absorbs lots of money, then says "through some mysterious circumstances we have failed!

Agree. Just based on the previous comments, it sounded like the goals was a "belt only" type of design. Figured there might be interesting functionality with variable belt object density arriving at a location being a determinan

Superficially examining the Clos Network article, if Factorio is amenable to creating such networks, then it seems like it would be possible to create some of the simpler neural network designs, such as shown here: [1] Maybe having somethi

Why can Whisper not just reuse the prompt for every 30 second window? At least then it would be a full file "prompt".

That LitPot Link [1] to Poland looks really vulnerable if Russia / Belarus decide the Baltics need to rejoin. There's three others (Harmony Link won't be completed to 2028), yet that looks like a quick half-day to sever. On

Its kind of what @sickofparadox was getting at above, that it seems condescending. Reads like: "Obviously its dangerous to make a $1000 million movie by yourself. Teaming up with Sony and Marvel and making generic super-cape movies pe
