I doubt very much the universe is expanding. The CMB doesn't present as a uniform field and is probably just noise from galaxies. There is too much vested religious interest in a finite and non-eternal universe for preconceptions not

A thoughtful memorium. I too greatly value my phd supervisor's inflence.

It's just as I suspected - there are NO coincidences.

I don't think Elon has any malice towards his own species. I tend to agree with the first comment on the article, re: p(dystopia), where almost all LLM services are currently in play, mostly due to the actions of third party clients.

It would be fantastic to add two simple features: 1) task groups (for example, a project) and 2) drag-and-drop reordering of tasks. Then it would be the only task manager one would need.

I suspect, in a few decades, when the smoke clears and the very latest sub-infrared, stadium-sized space telescope finds fully formed galaxies several billion years "before" the alleged moment of creation, then the astronomical co

The opening sentence of this article is 100% wrong. Hubble was a good scientist and correctly made no assumptions regarding his observations that objects that are further away by parallax are more red shifted. The assumption that these obs

I've done low-level work in C++ with SCATS, about a decade ago. It was a challenging API to work with, not fully documented and a lot of strange timing "phenomena".

Shotwell is also awesome, that is certain. They all are. I personally think the first man down the ladder on mars should be a woman, and it would be great if it were her. However, Elon founded that company (and personally hired Shotwell)

I was thinking this as well... It spiraled seemingly forever without failing, while they hoovered telemetry off of it, until pressing the big red button. Massive fault tolerance at play. SpaceX is awesome in so many ways. Thanks Elon.

The only real nightmare is that a couple of Jesuits, the same guys who imprisoned Galileo for daring to suggest that the Earth revolves around the sun, came up with the Big Bang theory to explain cosmological redshift, thereby carving out a

Hah that's great. I can see straight away that I'm going to become a devoted, tunnel vision tired light enthusiast. In fact, i'm tired already. i could use a nap.

Hey thanks for that snarfy. I love this topic.

Also, the infinty that i think scares people the most is temporal, not spatial.

This is a reasonable, and i don't accuse all of Science. I am just very suspicious of the certainty with which astrophysics has pursued proof of a big bang for most of a century. There are number of glaring assumptions, many of whic

I've never heard it mentioned, but I strongly suspect that cosmological redshift is simply the result of photons losing energy over vast distances due to some as-of-yet-undiscovered interaction with the quantum vacuum. It was a couple

These guys seem to be channeling early Skinny Puppy. The vocal intonation and mix in particular are hauntingly similar. It's good stuff.

The table at the end of the article, and most of the article, are meaningless. They are comparing the performance of grep and wc, programs written in C, with their own program, written in C. Python is also in the mix, and is also a progra

I went to medium.com to read this article about the forthcoming collapse of Google, and I noticed that medium.com wanted me to log in using my Google account. I find this ... unconvincing.
