then are the fragments dangerous?
- Comment on all insects and most animals can't see the stars 2 weeks ago:
Even if so, i keep having a dream that humans are the only species capable of developing spaceflight, because no other species has technology of the level necessary for that. So in a sense, humans might not be the only ones to be able to see the stars but we sure are the only species able to reach them.

Why would we want our infrastructure to be the most polluting expensive version (with shit latency BTW so you can’t selfhost), in control of basically one asshole billionaire who will gleefully censor whatever he feels like, after a critical mass of dependency has been reached?
Stop lying to yourself and others that this was “the most efficient outcome”.
NASA has tried to build their own rockets for i think 30(?) years. Like the space shuttle. The ship was expensive. Reusability never delivered on its promise to make things cheaper, instead it made them more complicated and more expensive when NASA tried. that was the public sector, it was attempted. Then SpaceX came and somehow managed to build rockets that were both reusable and cheaper than non-reusable rockets.
So yes, that’s not an ideological adherence to capitalism or anything, just plain data, that SpaceX is simply more efficient than NASA was able to be.

i remember some startup tried to build a slingshot to shoot satellites into orbit with something like a bit catapult. that was 5 years ago, haven’t heard of them since.

Eh, i’m not so sure. I just did a quick doodle.
My opinion is that when a collision happens, it’s probably very unlikely for a single fragment to actually stay on a stable orbit around Earth. Chances are high that it gains a lot of energy and the orbit is significantly distorted. Now, if an orbit is already very close to Earth, that means that any distortion will make it not fit tightly around Earth anymore, instead will make it go elliptic and therefore on trajectory of collision with Earth. The only way a fragment would not do that is if it’s accelerated perfectly sideways, in which case it would continue to circle around Earth for 10 years before deorbiting due to atmospheric friction. So, the cascading is a bit limited.

exactly nothing as most animals and insects can’t even see the stars; their sense of vision isn’t good enough for that.

I was referring to this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness
- Comment on hey there, hot stuff 3 weeks ago:
Any idea we can come up with within the simulation has to be computable by the simulation itself. Since that is touring-complete, the simulation cannot predict its own outcome; therefore whoever runs the simulation probably doesn’t know our fate yet.

- Comment on What happens to flies when you let them fly out the window of a car at 75 mph? 3 weeks ago:
What happens when you throw an ant out of the window of a skyscraper? Eh, they do just fine actually. These little creatures are surprisingly resilient.
It’s because when you scale things down, the ratio of mechanical strength to body mass gets much better. That’s why beetles can carry like 10x their own weight and stuff, while humans can’t.

I don’t think that political institutions are flexible enough to think of that. It’s more likely some individual experimenting around.

I mean it is clear what’s happening here. Some dude in his 20s is playing around with AI and using it to generate
pornpicture of women with big boobs.Anyways, lots of people are gonna fall for it and that’s probably gonna increase the number of recruits i guess. Since many people will think “aww, they have hot women at the military, let’s go there”. And so the military has more meat for the grinder.
I just hope that most affected will be the MAGA territories since they’re the ones starting pointless wars.
