- Comment on To what extent has Smartphones replaced Computers? Has Smartphones replaced Computers for you or people you know? Will Phones and Computers eventually merge into one device? 2 days ago:
For me not at all, they have totally differnet use cases.
At home the only purpose is of the phone is to be an alarm clock, 2FA machine and maybe for a bit of media consumption while on the toilet. Asides from it’s main purpose is urgent mobile communication.
But I really don’t see why anyone would want to use a phone when there is a computer with a big screen and proper mouse/keyboard inputs availible.
- Comment on UK says it will buy F-35 jets capable of carrying nuclear bombs 4 days ago:
They can be used for all kinds of things. But in this case Britain seems to be buying them specifically for their nuclear capabilities.

Actually licencing shit in other countries might also help … “counterfeit” is often the only option.

- Comment on Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club? 1 week ago:
Sure you do, you got the same genus of fishing spider as these. In fact, you got 15 of them (the US has 3).

What’s the book out of interest?
Totally my bad, I should have given credit anyway.
It’s “Spiders of North America” by Sarah Rose.
- Comment on Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club? 1 week ago:
the spiders can grow that big, especially if female.
I tried to click the link, but after having to identify motorcyles and busses 5 times in a row … I have up. Maybe I’m a bot.
Good thing I have an actual book!

From a quick search these spiders aren’t that big
25-28mm body lenght is quite a considerable size. I think a cousin of these is often dubbed the “UK’s largest spider”, even though it technically isn’t. But they are up there. Yes, the US has tarantulas, giant house spiders and some larger wolf spiders, but Dolomedes is up there.

Even if that particular picture was AI (I don’t think it is), there is nothing surprising or exaggerated going on here. More like it’s a rare thing. That’s totally within the capabilities of a fishing spider.
- Comment on Me after Komi can't communicate 1 week ago:
Or don’t … because nothing fucking happens and the MC is a complete idiot. Apart from the moe factor, this show has nothing going on for it.
- Comment on Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club? 1 week ago:
Yep, they are generally opportunistic and can be quite brazen. But most of the time they’ll go after easier, smaller prey.
I used to have a Goliath birdeater and it was entirely fed on crickets. We tried a baby mouse once, but it was a huge mess to clean up and they don’t need nor prefer it.
Theridiidae are usually the most notourious for going after much bigger prey.

I don’t think it’s a change in their eating habits, these spiders are known to catch, frog, salamanders or basically anything that size you’ll find near water. Just rare to see and snap a picture of one with a turtle.
- Comment on Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club? 1 week ago:
Nope, that’s a north American species.
- Comment on What if the idea of “life” and “intelligent life” is all relative? 1 week ago:
Sure it is.
We literally have to be very careful of how we definie “life” so we don’t accidently include too much stuff we don’t want to be life. That’s why viruses are usually not considered to be life, even though some people thing they should.
- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 1 week ago:

But I also think the comment chain is speaking to the limits of our knowledge. The “limits that physics imposes on technology” is only based on what human beings have figured out through our limits of testing the rules of existence
Absolutly, I’m not disputing that.
My point was going in the opposite direct. Some of the stuff we know we can be pretty sure about so I’d say it’s safe to assume that even an advanced alien technology couldn’t get around them. Like the speed of light, conservation of energy, entropy, etc.
It’s easy to say there isn’t evidence of something, just as easy as it is to say that it’s because it’s past our limit/ability to test those things right now.
Right, but when considering practical applications, like technology, it doesn’t really make a difference. If something exists but I don’t and can’t know that it exists, it might as well not exist. The result is the same.

But this comment chain is about the limits that physics imposes on technology.
There is no evidence for the existence of souls or spirits, so they don’t really factor into that discussion.

yet no one has a clue what happens with 100% certainly after death
Of course we do. Unless steps are taken, it’s usually rotting and decomposission. There is literally farms where we study what happens to us after death.
