I’m not going to bother, this is misdirection.

My guess is they found a room-temperature superconductor that can store incredible amounts of electrical energy, and the quantum drive from https://ivolimited.us/ actually works.

The only reason nuclear power has been stagnating for ~50 years in the US is corruption
I’m rooting for Mike McCulloch’s Quantized Inertia formulation to upend the whole GR-plus-extensions regime.

No. Maybe proof that some intelligence is encoded into the algebraic relationships between all the words ever written, but “general intelligence” would be a misleading way to describe it.

This is totally different from any design stage that is iterative or modular in that way though.

It’s more like that laminar flow demo where you mix the paints in a circle and then unmix them the other way - the patterns are there but the way they emerge cannot be understood due to chaos and complexity.

Re:It's time to admit that genes are not the blueprint for life on Tuesday February 06, 2024 @10:46PM (#39284241)
Not in the sense that any person has ever used the word “blueprint”, no.

That camp has the people who had a bad reaction to the vaccine or booster, mostly. Not sure how they compare numbers wise.

Maybe the vaccine caused a similar hit to the immune system for some people, this stuff is complicated.

Re:Researchers discover physical cause of long Covid tiredness on Thursday January 04, 2024 @11:14PM (#38875627)
It’s not psychosomatic, but there usually are multiple contributing factors to serious respiratory disease, and I think it’s OK to consider it as a relevant one of them in many cases.

Fair enough?

Common sense is more valuable (in the real sense, not just money) than a diploma.

And, the GPT revolution is making traditional education even less important than before.

“Hate all you want, but I'm smart, I'm so smart, and I'm in school. These guys are out here making money all these ways, and I'm spending mine to be smart. You know why? Because when I die, buddy, know what's gonna keep me warm? That's right, those degrees.” - Kanye West

Oh really? Which group are you?

That election was about people with common sense getting one over on the brainwashed mids, obviously.

It’s a big catch-22 kind of problem. “Politics is downstream from culture” but right now politics is being weaponized against culture.

Anyone who eats pork anyway should have no problem with this meat either.

This sounds like grasping at straws, a last-ditch effort to scare the not-so-easily-persuadable-anymore into opposing modern power development with nuclear fission.
