Propaganda.

I’ll only celebrate AI when someone makes one without stealing all the training data

Well, data just doesn’t really flow at the speed of light. It’s a really really complicated thing to discuss in terms of physical circuits because the true picture involves considering how the EM field evolves. Electrons in a circuit move at extremely slow speeds, ~millimeters per second.

The good news is you don’t need to send information particularly fast to send it through time. Generally in physics, we build time travel systems by creating extremely curved spacetime that contains paths to the past, theoretically you could send light through such a path to transmit information back in time. As someone already mentioned, you generally need negative mass to construct these.

If you have negative mass there are three options I’m aware of:

1. Wormholes, stabilised and moved in the right way can form a link to the past (but only as far back as the moment they were created, this is true of all time machines as far as I know)
2. Rotating torii of spacetime. Spinning spacetime is well known for creating weird time travel effects, a related option is an infinitely long rotating cylinder.
3. A rotating warp drive. This thing will explode in a high energy shower of particles and thus it’ll be nearly impossible to use, but a friend of mine recently found a way to get particles to travel back in time through it.

If you want to send information into the distant future, you could get really fancy and scatter some light off of a black hole or something.

If you’re in a currently cold place, then it’s a reasonably good way to heat a room and make the energy do something useful along the way, instead of just running a space heater.

Ffs NZ. You were supposed to be my sane backup country for when Australia collapses

I fully expect most of them in my country are too…

If there was actually some technicality that meant they were trying them in the wrong type of court or whatever, wouldn’t they just end that trial and go and do it properly?

I swear I’ve heard this sort of nonsense strategy before…

This is 100% anecdotal of course, but I’ve noticed weirdly inconsistent behaviour. I have one tab I permanently keep open for YouTube and that one loads videos really fast. If I open a second tab by following a link from that main tab, then it partly loads the site and sits there for a weirdly long time before any content even appears.

I’ve got a really fast connection too, and nothing else was having issues. This whole thing is bizarre.

That’s literally the opposite of what it needs to be. I wanted to check out threads out of curiosity but I don’t want to have an Instagram account, so I won’t.

It’s hard to find first hand sources tbh, but here’s as close as you can get from the guy who invented it. They decided to keep it exclusive because of how difficult it is to work with, and because they just aren’t actually in the art business.

We can’t work with hundreds of artists. We don’t have that scale - it’s just not our business. Our business is to create engineering components for satellites.

Is Kapoor a dick? Idk, probably, that’s not my call to make. I just know that Stuart Semple is probably just as much of a dick.

No. I’m reasonably sure it’s a massive misconception. He’s the only person “using” it because it’s fragile, dangerous and requires some stupidly expensive and difficult process to apply it. It’s controlled by an aerospace manufacturing company who only lets him use it. It’s not something that can be bought. It’s not even paint, it’s a process to bind carbon nanotubes to surfaces. Kapoor has absolutely no say in who uses the stuff, and he sure as hell doesn’t own it.

Apparently the whole thing started because another artist (Stuart Semple, a known grifter) realised he could lie about Kapoor and sell his own paints if everyone thought he was the douche.

Long article if you care to read it, guy who actually made the stuff just doesn’t want to work with a bunch of different artists when he’s meant to be putting it in satellites: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/vantablack-anish-kapoor

For a lot of countries, immigrants are the only thing that will save them from demographic collapse

One of the few vegetarian meals I’ve been able to have back home is “& chips”

Sometimes we make it fancy and have potato cakes too, but there are only so many ways you can deep fry a potato before throwing up

I guess it varies. There are vegetarian options at a lot of places, but I often find it’s only one or two options.

It really depends on the venue of course. Some of my favourite places have tons of options, but most of my friends aren’t interested in those. It also gets even harder when the few vegetarian options are often ruled out for you due to other dietary restrictions…

Yeah, that’s what I’m assuming

Considering there was another article saying that streaming services have no reason to not continuing increasing prices, I’m very fucking confused

Busses shouldn’t be profitable anyway, it’s meant to be a service

I have the second one on that list, and while I’ve got an ROG ally rather than a steam deck, I can tell you it performs quite well. I’m pretty sure these are often recommended for the deck for all the same reasons.

Load times are a little slower for bigger games, but that’s usually just when starting the game up.

Ifl science was once good, but it’s been click baity junk for as long as I can remember now.

This article is pretty pointless, it’s not a new observation at all but it doesn’t really mean anything. There are a few different reasons we know that the observable universe can’t be a black hole.

If you’re talking about what I think you are, then yeah I think that’s just how it is. Eventually the only things we’ll be able to see are the galaxies in our local super cluster (I think, this is technically outside my area) and eventually they’ll all combine into a single extremely massive galaxy.

We live in a really unique time where we can detect that the universe is both infinite, and had a beginning. Hell, we live in the only time where we can know that this time is special.

The concept of a static universe died decades ago, so I don’t think we’ll be getting away from this. I don’t really remember what time scale this is on, though if I had to guess it could be somewhere between 100’s of billions to 10’s of trillions of years.
