I take issue with the assertion that there was a period where all people could agree on a world view. Most of the 20th century was defined by sharp disagreement between world views and all of their constituent parts. Perhaps if you limit th

I sincerely hope we never release these into the wild either accidentally or on purpose. It’s great to have microorganisms that can do work for you but they should be incapable of surviving outside a very controlled environment. We should o

Mobile phones and VR are different non competing markets. AR might eventually compete with phones once you can wear an AR device all day everywhere you go. AR and VR should be treated as distinct; a good VR headset is bad for most AR usecas

You don’t need soil, you need fertilizer and water. We farm outside now because it’s cheap. If you move to a temporarily inhospitable place then farming outside is no longer cheap so it is better to do it inside or in outdoor hydroponic or

I’d argue that there is no default model. The model you have is just whatever you’ve spent time interacting with. If yours is mostly social then that perhaps plays a big role in your life. I would say mine is more heavily spatial and orient

90 percent of everything is crap but I’ve seen plenty of creative people make compelling films with digital tools. This technology puts that capability within each of people who aren’t also 3D modellers or graphic artists so we’re bound to

I don’t see why freedom of speech would be impacted by this. Existing laws around copyright and libel will need to be applied and litigated on a case by case basis but they should cover the malicious uses. Anything that falls outside of tha

We will see the first feature length AI generated movie this year. If you think I’m crazy then consider that even way back at the dawn of cinema the average shot length was 12 seconds and today it is only 2.5 seconds. There are a few import

I’m willing to bet that there are projects at every chip company looking into how to drive down these costs. The first step is to put the architecture of the model and the backprop into silicon. The weights are the only variables so if you

Life won’t be around long on a single planet, the frequency with which large scale and mass extinctions occur is quite shocking once you spend some time looking at the data. Not to mention the rapidity with which human civilizations collaps

Building the drydocks capable of submerging the rail cars and positioning the ship above them and then hauling the ship out would be the bigger challenge. Dealing with any slope with that much weight is tricky.

The way things are going on Earth even just the prospect of free land and the freedom to live and prosper how you want is going to be enough. It was plenty for the people who came before us to cross the freezing cold ocean on a months long

Nobody is launching anything that is going to take 50,000 years to get there. If you do then your descendants would be the last to arrive. What propulsion technology are you assuming? The fastest we know of and can build would be nuclear pu

Nah you just need a bunch o rocks. Bombard Mars for 50 years with every chunk of rock and ice you can strap a couple engines and fuel tanks to, aka a used Starship second stage, and it’ll be plenty warm and wet.

The facts are pretty thin in Aurora and mostly used as set dressing. It’s a novel not a textbook.

The answer is right there in front of everyone. I’m surprised hardly anyone sees it when it has shown up in popular fiction before. In order to colonize space in our solar system we have to master living in space and building space habitats

We are talking about generation ships so one lifetime isn’t a limit. Second, they said no unmodified life would make it. Third, I wouldn’t be so quick to rule out the Copernican principal when it comes to rocky planets in the Goldilocks zon

The chip on KSR’s shoulder is so big you could hollow it out and use it as a generation ship.

This is getting more confusing. Just because you can think in words doesn’t mean you enumerate everything in words. I think of myself as someone with an inner voice that I use often but not everything that happens in my mind is subvocalized

Networking isn’t my thing but could this be used to create a VPN in order to federate a bunch of servers? I’m thinking something like Tilde servers that would benefit from running on their own subnet along with other trusted servers so they
