I feel like the Nth Country Experiment kind of invalidates the idea that it makes sense to worry so much about hiding all of this, though? That 3 fresh physics PhDs were able to design a working bomb in as many years without having subject

The reality of my situation is my job frequently involves meeting people where they are - and most people are on systemd. Issues with systemd have caused and continue to cause me significant headaches - sometimes they are one-off but major

We're inside the system (I don't mean this in the 'we're in a simulation' sense) - changes fundamental to how the system works are not necessarily measurable to us. It's one thing if the speed of light is local

Maybe. Maybe not. There might not be a Universal Theory of Everything. Everyone hopes there's something and most scientists do believe that something is out there, but the idea that there might be reasons we can't unify them or th

Many, many, many scientists have asked this question. Many have made careers out of arguing the case. But, the overwhelming majority of scientists that start out asking those questions ultimately land on the mainstream theories around dark

Yeah. The guy who explicitly stated people who are too old to have children aren't worth saving is the person who values human life more than me. I find it bizarre that I'm being accused of cultlike thinking by someone who has dis

Ideal reality vs. actual reality are separate things. In fact, recognizing actual reality is a prerequisite to going "well damn this actually really sucks we should fix that." In an ideal world, men would be just as likely to be t

I agree that pregnancy is significantly more difficult for women than it is for men. No question. There's a reason I said being a sperm donor and not being a father. But this entire argument seems to be about the idea that human reprod

This seems to all be presupposed on the idea that the population growing is a positive thing is a universally accepted truth. I don't think that is a de facto true statement. I wrote a lot arguing this point, got towards the end of you

You can express adoration for motherhood or doctors without stating that anyone not doing those things isn't achieving their highest calling. It's quite simple to avoid this - just recognize that the highest calling of anyone is a

It is important that people in general become parents in some number so that the human race can continue to exist, yes. No one is denying that. Not everyone needs to be a parent. We're not in a situation where humanity is in danger of

It's unclear to me that that is the case. If I prompt an image generation model specifically to generate an unlicensed picture of Batman, I do not suspect that a judge is going to be sympathetic to the argument that the t-shirt I was s

Speculative, sure. Fiction? As much as any other theoretical technosignature is. Does our understanding of science allow for this? At a surface level, it seems like it does. Is it likely? Who knows. The comments on this article are kind of
