- Comment on Aliens Probably Exist - But They’re Staying Silent For a Reason 3 days ago:
When I look back on human history, I can see no period that I would call ‘civilized’. (Sure, there were pockets of civilization.)
- Comment on Aliens Probably Exist - But They’re Staying Silent For a Reason 4 days ago:
civilizations that sprouted and died
Maybe there’s something better than civilizations (not that we’ve ever had one yet) and they figured that out and are too blissed to listen.

If FTL is a thing, that’s OK with me, many good stories include it and I’d miss them.
- Comment on Scientists Growing Colour Without Chemicals 4 days ago:
Going by ‘colour’, I’d guess that headline came from the UK. Writing them is a tricky, trippy task.

- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
Yep, I noticed that, you’re right. And that’s near-miraculous efficiency. The maker’s website sez: “YASA also estimates that its all-important continuous power will be in the region of 350kW-400kW (469bhp-536bhp).” It also sez: "To achieve a 750kW short-term peak rating and a density of 59kW/kg … " Devi’ls in the details … The image on the ‘superblondie’ page shows A LOT of cooling built into whatever metal that is: supercarblondie.com/…/YASA-tiny-electric-motor.we…

I think he was trying to admit he doesn’t know shit about electric motors.

- Comment on Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation 1 week ago:
Oh those mathers. At least scientists are humble enough to recognize that theorums about the physical world can’t be proven.
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 1 week ago:
Oh noes, how could that -possibly- scale?
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 1 week ago:
It was a decent summary, I was replying when you pulled it. Analog has its strengths (the first computers were analog, but electronics was much cruder 70 years ago) and it is def. a better fit for neural nets. Bound to happen.
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 1 week ago:
Nice thorough commentary. The LiveScience article did a better job of describing it for people with no background in this stuff.
The original computers were analog. They were fast, but electronics was -so crude- at the time, it had to evolve a lot … and has in the last half-century.

Stories based in science? I can dig.

- Comment on Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters 4 weeks ago:
" Word will now save new documents to OneDrive by default — and that changes everything" Wouldn’t it be great if all your docs were stored out in the cloud? Just think, you wouldn’t need a hard drive! And someone else could guard them for you, like, say, Deputy Dan. descope.kwwhitaker.com/wallofscience.html

Nope, and this one is NOT going to change that … can’t take all that cutesy animation and the fast-flowing babble for 2 minutes, let alone 12

This video is very probably also AI slop
- Comment on AI chatbots that butter you up make you worse at conflict, study finds 5 weeks ago:
It really helps to try to think about the other side of any question. That’s what good debaters do, so they can figure out the best responses to what the others’ arguments might be.
When these LLMs keep agreeing with you, they’re actually weakening the likelihood that you’ll work out a fully-formed opinion.
- Comment on AI chatbots that butter you up make you worse at conflict, study finds 5 weeks ago:
Me too … LEMMY added that, out of my control
- Comment on AI chatbots that butter you up make you worse at conflict, study finds 5 weeks ago:
You -do- realize you’re getting advice from a machine that constructs sentences using mathematical algorithms, and has no clue at all what it’s saying … right?

- Comment on Oklo breaks ground on its first nuclear ‘powerhouse’ at INL (Idaho National Laboratory) 1 month ago:
Most people who’ve studied the history of nuclear energy at all know about it. While it’s seldom talked about (like most of the other accidents kept out of the news) SL-1’s not hard to learn more about, e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SL-1#Accident_and_response
- Comment on Oklo breaks ground on its first nuclear ‘powerhouse’ at INL (Idaho National Laboratory) 1 month ago:
wacky place
Not surprised! Would like to learn more about what’s become of it.

That’ll teach them to plan ahead!

Idaho! That’s where the first 3 people died from a nuke explosion!
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 1 month ago:
Yep. The E.U. has allowed itself to be dominated for too long by the US megacorps. It has the talent, ideas, and manufacturing to tell US firms to bugger off … and the sooner, the better for us all.
