It's one of the reasons I love Oxygen Not Included so much. That game's materials have both Thermal Conductivity and Specific Heat as stats, and density plays into it as well.

Does this remove the need for WIMPs and other exotic explanations for dark matter?

yep, the biggest threat posed by AI comes from the capitalists who want to own it.

There were different cliques of oligarchs. Putin had the ones opposing him eliminated, and kept the ones that supported him.

Before we can prove, we must first wonder. We proceed by small steps, and if we don't start discussing it now, 2600 will still be too early.

Yes, courts ought to be apolitical. Just that recently, especially the supreme court has not been meeting that expectation.

by philipov 1y ago
Because courts are (wrongly) viewed as not being political, and public opinion hasn't caught up with reality yet.

The most important thing about definitions is that we apply them consistently. A different definition might give different answers, but it's fine as long as it does so uniformly.

That's Newton's Shell Theorem for you.

It's dangerous to assume that everything in biology exists because it's useful in some way. Some things are just spandrels* that came along for the ride, vestigial, or otherwise neutral features. Not everything exists because it

You are speaking as if there is a single objective agreement between people on what constitutes the most pragmatic answer. There is no such agreement. The foundation of liberalism is that we can not agree on first principles. An authoritari

All the more reason why it's too early to be saying anything about that discovery.

As was discussed at the time, that news was overhyped. The finding is not strong evidence of life, it's strong evidence that we don't fully understand how that molecule gets formed. And the most recent news on that front is that t

You are talking past each other. They say "Google search sucks now" and you retort with "But people still use it." Both things can be true at the same time.

The problem with revolutions is that when the prevailing power structure is turned upside down, it allows the most ruthless people to rise to the top, from where they unleash waves of terror to eliminate opposition, consolidating control in

It's the children of the billionaires that will inherit the world. Your children will only get to rent it from them. Any inheritance you hope to leave them will be spent paying for your retirement and end-of-life care.

It's funny that you phrase that in future tense, and mutually exclusive.

If the paper is attempting to express electromagnetism in terms of the metric tensor, then it is putting it into a form that makes it potentially compatible with gravity, which is also a metric tensor. Quantum theories use a completely diff

Okay, so this is another attempt to unify quantum field theory and gravity. By using gravity to get quantum fields, rather than by trying to quantize gravity.

I'm not surprised by this divestiture - Investor confidence in Alterra has been low ever since the disastrous loss of their brand new capital ship Aurora on its very first mission.

Anything that can be copied infinitely for free has a market value of 0, and is in a bubble whenever its price is above 0. This doesn't mean that video games have no value, but that markets aren't suited for finding it.

I won't deny that genAI is still a long way from passing the strictest scrutiny, but I don't like the above argument. Ease of use is not a trivial matter, and extreme advances in accessibility can cause a phase-change. Photo evide
