  • What does have to do with the energy efficiency of eating your own children?

  • How is that ever going to provide more energy than you put into it? That makes Matrix levels of sense.

  • No, you would physiologically age at the same fast-forwarded time rate. Essentially, for you, less time would pass at the same time that more time passes for the outside world.

  • Do you mean ðe? Thorn is pronounced like the th in thing, not the th in the

  • The light takes the same amount of time to get there from an external point of view. It's more like time slows down for you the faster you go, which from an external perspective would look like you moving and acting slower than normal. So in the time it would take light to travel 1 light year, it always takes one year. However, you would be slowed down so much that it would appear to you that much less time had passed, maybe only a few days. If you travel at the speed of light you slow down so much that no time passes for you at all at that speed. So you instantly arrive, from your point of view. However, from the point of view of an external observer, it still took one year.

    Essentially, it slows down the amount of time you experience, but the amount of time that actually passes externally doesn't change. If you go to the moon, it will take only 1 second at light speed, so you wouldn't really notice whether it felt instant or to take a second. However, if you go somewhere further like Proxima Centauri, which is 4 light years away, you will arrive back on Earth at least 8 years later (there and back). If you go at light speed, it would appear to be instant, suddenly you're at Proxima Centauri 4 years later, suddenly you're back at Earth 8 years later. If you go just below light speed, you'll see the world outside go past like it's being fast forwarded, and when you return, 8 years will have been compressed into something that seems much shorter to you.

  • "Aside from the viable political ideologies, what are some viable political ideologies?"

  • It's raining. It's cold outside. It is the case.

  • Within 200 years it's likely either the world will be turned into paperclips, or AI will be powerful and aligned enough that it can do everything we want it to. It will initially be in the hands of the rich, but once 80% of people are unemployed and starving, there'll be a revolution to put the AIs in the hands and service of the people and we'll have a post scarcity socialist utopia.

    Wither way suffering is reduced (you can't suffer if you're a paperclip), so I'm optimistic.

  • The only one I know that might count is the Stardrop Saloon. And its theme is ok, not anything special.

  • I would also recommend the chatbot HuggingChat, it uses open weights models

  • That's beautiful handwriting!

    A haiku is a Chinese style of poetry of three lines, where the first and last lines have 5 syllables, and the second has 7, often being about nature.

    Edit: my bad, they're actually Japanese

  • And the days of the week have been saying WTF - MTWTFSS

  • Switch to an Android device (Where you can use Seal from F-Droid) or Linux (Where you can use Parabolic), copy the link of the playlist into the app, hit download.

  • Are you saying that you should vote blue as a form of harm reduction, or are you being sarcastic?

    Btw, either way it's kind of an American centric perspective. Here in the UK, the red party is the harm reduction party.

  • Making this a TLC to promote visibility, though I wasn't the one to discover it:

    U+269d "Outlined White Star"

    I think it works great, in reference to the rainbow star thing!
