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.

It would be a nice bit cheaper to be trans if soy milk was enough to feminize me

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 picked the worst time to get into print media…

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.

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

Cheers, I’ll give it a go, though I suspect I’ve already done it. I believe I’ve read the rant you’re talking about too

I have a personal server, mostly acting as a NAS but with some web hosting as well. For whatever reason, it randomly freezes until you manually power cycle it, it happens really often, like every 20 minutes.

Turns out it’s due to some weird interaction between debian and older ryzen CPUs, if the CPU isn’t busy it just dies. Solution? A Minecraft server, with no one on it, it keeps the CPU just busy enough to keep it alive. I’ve had it running for months at a time with no issues.

Again, it’s not dividing race at all.

There are two good reasons for putting it in the constitution. One, it stops it being repealed by the opposition who have a history of that sort of thing, thus it won’t be limited to the term of a specific government.

Secondly, Australia’s history is 100% built on disenfranchisement of our first people. Slavery, being defined as fauna, voting rights younger than a lifetime etc. Our national identity built this problem, our constitution should recognise who this country belongs to, it should recognise who this country has murdered, abducted and generally hated for it’s entire history. This definitely belongs in our constitution, colonialism stole Australia and it’s only fair to recognise that.

Solving systemic racial injustice is an inherently one sided thing, and that isn’t racist or divisive.

What is racist and divisive is allowing the traditional owners of the land to be trapped in perpetual poverty, with significantly shorter lives and with next to no hope of help. Setting up something to address an imbalance like this, to bring actual equality, is not racist.

There’s a fairly well known saying “when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” Things aren’t getting worse for you, we’re just trying to pull other people out of a hole so they can stand beside you.

Nothing.

The no and yes sides to a referendum prepare an informational pamphlet that everyone receives but there’s absolutely no requirement that any of it be truthful, so the opposition just openly lied until the whole thing died.

Actual information was obscured, fear mongering was rampant, the voice was harmless at worst, but could have been the spark that changed Australia for the better.

The point is that this would have given them a path toward voicing those sorts of things, directly to the people who can actually do something about it.

It could have been the start to a lot of great change, it was a simple easy thing to do

The best part is that phytoestrogen does next to nothing to humans, you need mammalian estrogen instead. You know where you find lots of that? Cows milk

They aren’t only hair, there’s a regular tail in there. If not, they wouldn’t be able to use it to swat flies away

I don’t suppose you know the exact application in QFT? I assume it’s used for some renormalization scheme?
