people really dont worry enough about the existential threats involved with ai. there are things that will be possible in the future that we cant imagine today, including being kept alive for millions of years and enduring deliberate tortur

well for the record i am not saying we should have zero nuclear. i think we need nuclear waste products to power rovers, do certain medical diagnostics and we need nuclear subs to keep the chinese at bay.

ok but i just have doubts. you say that buried nuclear waste is safe but i need more detail. what if it leaks into ground water? can it leak? what kind of containment is necessary? and does it need to be guarded? do people want the stuff fo

total power requirement of the united states / amount of average power including weather and TOD produced by a square meter of land + amount of land to store necessary batteries = a corner notched out of nevada. not multiple states. i

each problem is different. computational chemistry has stagnated therefore AI isnt a concern? its nonsense. first of all, it may be that computational chemistry is much more tractable than we realize because we are too stupid to find the ne

this is utter drivel. nobody is saying children should be isolated. they should be isolated from things and people who will damage them regardless of what they do. a stove can harm a child, but a child can choose not to touch a stove. a vis

this is nonsense. almost nothing is carried over. it seems like you have never been the target of viscous bullying. there is no comparison whatsoever to bullying in school and in the workplace. the differences are innumerable. the most impo

let me just say how much i appreciate and admire you. people love to look down their noses at homeschooling and homeschooling has been the subject of terrible and dismissive ridicule. a terrible stigma has been created for home-schoolers. i

i went to one of the best public schools in the states. even then the environment was toxic. heroin was dealt in the hallways, many kids even died of heroin overdoses. kids were viciously bullied and physically assaulted while the drooling,

ok well lets settle it. how much waste would be produced if the whole country ran on nuclear? regardless of the volume of waste, how serious is a breach of containment? is the waste a target for terrorists? can it be weaponized?

exactly. fission is great if its run by smart, motivated people. unfortunately, the government is not always populated by the kind of people who are up to the task. and they are not always structured in a way that allows them to work optima

i dont want to be contrarian, but this is wrong. you get 150-100 w per square meter. what am i missing?

i just dont buy it. hypothetically, there is a nuclear power plant design that is perfectly safe in that it will never melt down. but there is no nuclear power plant that produces no waste. as long as you are producing waste, you are depend

"you could buy electricity for around 2.5 cents per kilowatt." this is a typo. they meant 2.5 cents per kilowatt hour. i think its really interesting that elon musk has changed his public stance on bitcoin. originally, and for a l

this is the aspect of science that is not talked about in the media and among "science, fuck yeah" "big bang theory" bros. science is full of dogma, politics and downright dirtiness. people who do research are often show

i always love a chance to share what i have discovered about dreams. for most of my life i never really thought much about how dreams work. i shared the same notion with most people, that they are a kind of sloppy simulation of real life. b

this is so unbelievably cool. the patterns of station concentration in africa are really interesting to consider. its almost like a summary of the entire political/economic situation on the continent. really good music too.

maybe a stupid question but it wasnt clear to me how this is able to work when the system clock doesnt run fast enough to keep up with 60hz. i was wishing that there was more elaboration about what a PLL is and how it allows a person to get

why is there no "typing glove?" some kind of device that is attached to your hand that tracks the minute movement of your fingers, and translates them into keystrokes? the amount of physical movement for each keystroke would be dr
