  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.

    Jump

  • The cost is less from the design and more from the safety regulations. Best case scenario the state just starts making nuclear power plants, it's just not a good idea to mix profit incentive with nuclear.

  • Scientists Propose New Way to Find Aliens: Detect Their Failing Warp Drives

    Jump

  • Pretty hard to detect. But.... probably easier than finding the petunias I guess.

  • Pineapple is so metal, fucking fruit that tries to eat you back.

  • IIRC it is actually mostly from algea. A small amount from some fern-like plants. By the time trees existed, they were being broken down by bacteria.

  • Gaza pier used for aid delivery has been reconnected, U.S. officials say

    Jump

  • Exactly, it was (very relatively) cheap and quick. And they figured when, not if, it breaks, it will be again quick to repair. And it is interesting tech that could be useful down the line that they may figure is worth the cost in training alone.

  • So...

  • Seems like it, they are announcing that the wife is single to the ladies after all.

  • The Crossoverrrr

    Jump

  • They did show them sweeping through a horrificly deadly funnel defended by relatively well covered rebels and toasting them with no issues is the very first scene of the movie. The assault on the Tantove IV was basically suicide, and they still mopped up like it was Tuesday. The double reveal, by both Leia and Tarkin, is more than sufficient to make the point, instead of a hamfisted scene earlier of Vader giving them orders not to kill and eliminating all the tension from the escape.

  • Male birth control breakthrough safely switches off fit sperm for a while

    Jump

  • The hippocratic oath, in this case. Medicine is all about risk management, the worse the "disease," the more tolerant we are of side effects for the cure. Pregnancy and birth are still pretty traumatic events that, while much safer than they used to be, are still dangerous. Female BC just has to be less risky than that. Male BC on the other hand, has to be as low the risk for a man impregnating a woman, which is to say, almost zero. Pretty much any negative side effect is worse than that, so it's very difficult to pass. I would gladly take one with comparable side effects to female BC, but sometimes unflinching ethics are inconvenient. Better than the alternative, but still.

  • More like a life of alcoholism seems like. Did he lie to his doc in the doc about his alcohol consumption after they told him his liver was in bad shape?

  • Not to mention it wasn't really "the church" as much as one egotistical asshat in the church that had beef with Galileo and more or less made up a reason to persecute him. And when more level headed parts of the church told Galileo to chill and he'd be fine he just doubled down and thumbed his nose at the pope. It was never really about the science at all, he was being funded by the church to do his research in the first place.

  • Cubic millimetre of brain mapped in spectacular detail

    Jump

  • I agree, but it isn't so clear cut. Where is the cutoff on complexity required? As it stands, both our brains and most complex AI are pretty much black boxes. It's impossible to say this system we know vanishingly little about is/isn't dundamentally the same as this system we know vanishingly little about, just on a differentscale. The first AGI will likely still have most people saying the same things about it, "it isn't complex enough to approach a human brain." But it doesn't need to equal a brain to still be intelligent.

  • Hey, sprinkle some "almost certainly a bit of depression" on top and boom, ya got me.

  • Yeah, I would have been 11 when it came out. I definitely had heard the original, but couldn't say who sang it or anything. I wouldn't call it "the sing from Shrek," but I also can't really remember the original and think of the Shrek version. I'm not surprised anyone younger than myself would call it that though.

  • Just started my Kagi trial, and it has been such a breath of fresh air. Will almost certainly subscribe as soon as the trial is up. Remember, if the service is free, you're the product.

  • "I want to live forever in AI"

    Jump

  • I think so long as you maintain consciousness that issue is fairly null in this particular circumstance. There's lots of tolerance for changes in thought while maintaining the same self, see many brain damage victims. So long as there is minimal change in personality, there are lots of other circumstances that have a stronger case for killing one person and having a new person replace them due to change of consciousness, imo, I don't think most people would consider a brain damaged person killed and replaced by a new consciousness, or a drug addiction with radically altered brain chemistry, etc.

  • "I want to live forever in AI"

    Jump

  • I don't see an issue with that. A prolonged brain surgery that meticulously replaces each part with a mechanical equivalent in sequence. Could probably remain conscious the whole time.

  • It helps that when one uses them on their own land, they are more likely to carefully track where they were used and can conduct cleanup operations when feasible.
