How do you know that exactly? On previous occasions, we humans have both carelessly stumbled across technology and have discovered world-ending technology.

You could be right, maybe there's a hormetic valley somewhere in the risk curve. I think it still has to be linear close to the background radiation level, and grow faster than linear as one approaches the lethal level, though. Isn&#x2

We know the mechanism by which radiation causes damage: Particles knock into DNA, changing its structure. This causes mutations, and once too many of those accumulate, you get cancer, or your cells just stop working and you die. This would

The term AI is fairly imprecise, and might include game playing AIs like Deep Blue and Alpha Go, or research focused systems like Fermi Net and Alpha Fold. I don't think those applications are in need of regulation. What really needs t

AI Dungeon isn't an individual, it's a business that charges people money to use their product. In the vast majority of cases, responsible disclosure means first telling the developers so they can patch the vulnerability. After it

To save some folks an acronym lookup: NPI stands for Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention, and refers to things like wearing a mask, washing hands, physical isolation, etc.

"Velocities add" is also mechanics 101, and turned out to be incorrect at sufficiently large speeds. I think we have to go to Noether's theorem to show why we should be so sure the EM drive doesn't work: EM drive propone

That one, at least, doesn't claim to allow faster than light travel using known physics: "We show that a class of subluminal , spherically symmetric warp drive spacetimes, at least in principle, can be constructed based on the ph

I don't really care what most people think. If I chose my beliefs based solely on what most people thought, I would be guilty of committing the bandwagon fallacy. So don't hide behind "most people". What do you think a

I'm not sure what your point is. As the situation of the person asking the original question demonstrates, sometimes a salaried position will both pay less and take up more of one's time than an hourly one. So of course people wil

I remember that when I was working as an undergrad research assistant in a physics lab, a PhD student and I had plotted some data, to see if the relationship between 2 variables was linear. We had cut off many of the data points to the left

Because if we let people be anonymous, then more people will feel comfortable writing insightful things for us to read. I'd rather have a wider selection of content than know everyone's real name. Knowing who writers are "in

Some interesting thoughts here, but the issue of the key leaking is still a problem with your proposed protocol. After the first time all these trusted parties come together and reveal the key, someone still has to actually take the key and

I think the main problem here is that social media companies tend to have a near-monopoly, thanks to network effects. Readers want to be where the writers are, and writers want to be where the readers are. This puts the companies in a posit

In theory, I think it is possible. The laser light just needs to carry away entropy, which can be achieved by modulating the beam so that it contains information. Of course, you'll deplete your batteries to power the beam, and the lase

It's generally more productive to talk about the reasons why a proposed change is or isn't valuable than to talk about the kinds of people who believe it. I could construct a mirror version of your comment: "People who oppose

What's the relevant difference, that neutrons have mass? If one can make squeezed light, why aren't squeezed neutrons possible in too, at least in principle?
