If you read my comment that you initially replied to you would see that I was talking about the FLIR1/Nimitz video. You're the one who brought up Go Fast, I have made no comments about that here. > The proposed explanation is t

Mick West's explanation of the FLIR1 video (the one from the Nimitz incident), that it was an ordinary aircraft, makes zero sense because given the quantity and quality of situational awareness data available to the pilots who captured

Because the government presumably has access to large numbers of highly competent individuals, some at least as smart as Mick West, who should have been able to conclude that all of these sightings amount to nothing, if that is indeed the c

This article didn't really live up to my expectations based on the title. What I would say, based only on information that almost everyone should agree on (ie. public statements and a very small number of authenticated videos) is that

Well that's one subject I have some experience with. I will offer three pieces of advice. First I suggest you learn about non-dualism. If you come to understand it you will realize that what you think of as your "self", ie.

The abstracts are a bit different so I'm not sure how close the preprint is to the published version.

Thanks.

This sounds very interesting and possibly important. I would like a better explanation of what kind of "rotation" they are talking about. Is this a literal rotation in the sense of linear algebra ? If so in what space and how d

Nice looking site but what most people here will be interested in is how it was built with "no-code", which your post doesn't tell us anything about.

I don't know how much it matters that children have simplistic moral beliefs but I think it matters a great deal that they tend to retain these beliefs in adulthood and that just about everything in our culture encourages this: - the n

I would have guessed the figure was closer to 20 %, which it was around 2010, so I guess I'm 10 years out of date. I wonder how the survey was conducted. Is it possible that people who don't use the internet are also difficult to

I think it would be possible but only if the government database itself provides the necessary functionality. One possible way it could work is that the government provides a website where a user can enter their name and SSN and receive in

So are you asking if the government could create such a database ?

My initial impression is that there are big problems with meeting these requirements. For (1), I don't think there's any good way to reduce the property of being an "actual human" to data that can be verified algorithmic

I haven't heard it used in English but it is a very commonly used word in French. Perhaps it is in the process of being borrowed, like many other words have been from one language to the other.

I don't know, what you say about the voters may be true, but I'm not convinced. We see a lot of politicians and media personalities making these kind of statements but how often do we hear an average voter expressing such opinion

I don't see any real similarity between those two situations. There aren't any details in the article on the size of the drones or their distance but I think a destroyer would have a wide range of weapons available from which to c

If anyone (with sufficient resources) can send a drone swarm to go harass, or worse, anyone, including the US Navy, and there's nothing that can be done about it then eventually I think something quite bad is going to happen. It remind

I would think CIWS systems don't fire in random directions. Anyway if these were just small drones that would probably be overkill, I would think a shotgun would be sufficient.

I don't understand that mentality. At the very least I would think they would be considered a security risk since they could be spying on sensitive systems. It's not like we're talking about manned aircraft here.

The more recent DDG's, including the USS Kidd have those as well. I wonder why it wasn't used.

Yes you only need to find exploitable structure in one NP-complete problem to solve all of NP, which is why I called such a hypothetical discovery a "general trick".

But there aren't a lot of proven bounds on polynomial time complexity either. For all we know it may be possible to solve 3-SAT in linear time.
