GPT4 is an idiot. It actually cancels out over the orbit for small objects https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=8997844...

zig-zag encoding is brilliant. Basically you can determine positive or negative based on odd/even and divide by 2 to get the value. I tried to come up with a similar encoding and never thought of this

Good call, doing the search with those keywords yielded similar results

Well, the entire ecosystem and weather is fed by solar. It would be interesting to think about what it's "efficiency" would be...

It has 905 upvotes, it has received a fair share of positivity as well. Even criticism is often positive, since it expresses interest and engagement with the ideas and approach.

Just did a Google search. Most cells which are actually produced are 10-11%.

3 body problem: orbital decay when there are three orbiting bodies of SIMILAR MASS. Mercury is not similar mass to the sun, so this is not the three body problem

Many challenges become a lot easier when you have 10,000x more energy. Start building Dyson satellites and you will quickly have the energy you need to create solutions for your problems

Also: solar power is already a fusion generator

Well, by that metric we have 0.0000000001% of a Dyson sphere created.

Why would you use the energy on a planet? Clearly you would use the energy in space, probably in some of the same satellites that are gathering energy

I do not want to be living in your head. Why is searching the unknown with the tools at our disposal anti-science? Because it goes against some kind of norm held by what is deemed the "scientific community"? Who even is that and w

Well we have a very incomplete but about 10-15% efficient Dyson swarm on earth with solar and wind farms. Now we just need to scale up.

Planet? Dyson swarms orbit a SUN, not a planet

If crypto isn't protected by its own cryptography and must instead be protected by the government then what in the f@*k is the point of crypto again?

Does anyone know if there's a Lua (not LuaJIT) library for the ffi functionality? I wonder if this library could work for both

You are talking about floating on your back. I'm talking about bobbing. As long as you hold your breath, your head will be under the surface... Unless you're built like a brick I guess. But a brick with lungs. Hold full breath. If

I typically use analogies to make something that is abstract more concrete.

Edit: apparently "load" is used to deserialize some data. Ya, this is bad, nevermind. I guess treat data stored in this format as code (effectively: don't use this format) unless it can be guaranteed safe. I'm not an R p

We understand almost nothing, so this is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I don't think the cost/benefit of a second stage are hard to understand

by vitiral 2y ago
Really, why? Because you might drown? Try holding your breath and just floating, arms at your side and legs not moving. You will bob to the surface. Then quickly release your breath and snap your neck back to take a new one. Repeat. That&#x

Like... the physics? If not, I think a NAND gate is made of just two transistors, so if you mean emulating how transistors should behave then I don't think it will affect performance more than ~50%

The same kind of introspection lead me to create civboot.org[2] I'm currently creating a Lua-based development environment from scratch in (nearly) pure Lua[3]. There are others out there. You're not alone. PS: Why Lua? Because it

The idea that we just need more piles of tools to fix the problems caused by our shiny new pile of tools is, I think, very demonstrative of how it's all going to come crashing down.
