A divergence, but I see a lot of posters asserting that "humans learn by copying other people, but we don't call that a violation of copyright when they draw" People casually asserting that software is equivalent to humanity

90% 0f that stuff is second nature if you've gotten a PhD. Asymmetric boration would need a red for me, but I'd just Google it and look for an undergrad .edu explainer and sample 3-4 answers If it's more esoteric, I'd ju

They do say that old blades are the most coveted, as are old hilts made of rhino horn I imagine the focus on the scabbard is partly because it was largely decorative and served a very different function - such as being collateral. So all pa

I don't have an opinion on reversible computing. I don't know what his revelation about entropy or reversibility is supposed to be - I guess I was just fishing for the two sentence summary. I assume it involves cellular automata.

Yes! But you can't dismiss the techs require to culture meat, process the BSA, drive to work, buy pipette tips, clean the glasswear, etc. That's what replaces the cow's metabolism and the wasted energy of it flapping its tail

You're ignoring what might be the most important part - energy input Cows are self-motivating bioreactors that vaguely maximize inputs as possible. You don't need to hire a tech or buy freezers or buy pipette tips or clean an indu

I usually don't have patience for videos and this is no exception. It's a bad format to understand a new thing, in my opinion. I don't know if the fantasy of reversible systems is a new thing. What's the innovation?
