I've heard of them but they obviously don't actually practice their beliefs.

https://hister.org/ is a neat website indexing and archival tool.

Yes it is interesting how religions never differ on the need to eat and breathe.

There was no need for the mass evacuation of about 164,000 people.

"Who decides what "reality" is,"

Repeatable scientific experiments. Trying to argue objective reality doesn't exist is logically incoherent.

Better means smaller gap with reality. Science works because it is basically a negative feedback control loop to minimize this gap.

Nobody has a working car that doesn't need energy. I almost changed it to energy but figured nobody would not get the point.

"Objective reality does not imply consistent measurement of that reality."

Yet global science converges on a consistent world view. Everybody's telescopes all see the same things.

Modern technology only works because there is a objective reality.

Lure people? It isn't a cult.

Objective reality exists. Nobody has a car that doesn't need gas or electricity.

I don't think neural networks have the same ability of self deception as humans do. A huge reason human world models vary so much is due to them being tied to tribal membership. A huge fraction of all people will not come to a rational worldview derived from accurate data but will start with their tribe's worldview and filter data to match. I personally have never modified my worldview for social reasons and it is surprisingly isolating.

The Platonic Representation Hypothesis initially feels profound but actually seems inevitable after some thought because all neural networks are trying to model the same reality. It would actually be weirder if it wasn't true and neural networks could form completely incompatible representations of the same reality. In some sense it seems similar to reducing different math equations to the same most simplified form

As an American it is pure hell. Every day I feel like Marty McFly waking up in the nightmare timeline where Biff controls things. And my own brother voted for Trump 3 times yet absolutely refuses to talk about him under any circumstances.

How is food produced today? Using very expensive machines and fertilizer and carefully bred seeds. That is all wealth.

You keep proving you don't understand what actually happened at Chernobyl or have a sense of scale of the energies involved. Hydrogen gas exploding is a completely different thing than a badly designed reactor instantly generating over 100 times its designed output and exploding. The hydrogen gas did explode at Fukushima and this damaged the outer building. Fukushima was a firecracker compared to Chernobyl being an actual nuclear bomb.

They are if you can get launch costs cheap enough. I hope that is possible but I don't think that it is.

Unlimited power and real estate with zero local opposition.

What DOES it look like in 2026? Can the average non-technical 70 year old use it?

Wealth allows for MORE food to be produced and healthcare to be provided.

There was no need for a mass evacuation because of Fukushima, it was a overreaction caused by irrational fear of nuclear power. The evacuation itself caused much harm. It is pretty silly to hype an incident that caused ZERO deaths as some kind of horrible nuclear disaster.

No it was never possible for Fukushima to become a Chernobyl style disaster because it has a containment structure and the biggest difference is that Fukushima was basic overheating while Chernobyl was a complex power excursion of over 100GW. There was never a runaway nuclear explosion at Fukushima; it was a severe thermodynamic failure of cooling.

It was absolutely not almost a second Chernobyl. Saying this proves you understand very little of what happened in the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents.

Which killed zero people

Nuclear power runs at night.

It would have been a lot more green to have replaced all coal and gas electricity with nuclear.

That speed and connectedness increases GDP by vastly more though.

Except browser based versions take 10x the RAM of native versions.

Can you really imagine the average person ever doing this? Or even understanding how multisig actually works? When you need to start engraving wallet addresses in titanium you have to step back and ask about usability.

"you can have multisig wallets"

This falls under "extraordinary precautions" that few people do and is an enormous error prone hassle.

Controlling your own crypto keys is like having your net worth in cash or gold stored in your house. It could easily be lost or stolen or destroyed in a fire unless you take extraordinary precautions and then it is all gone.

Really? I consider the second season of Star Trek: Picard to be one of the worst seasons of TV ever made.
