It's all designed. Top down, one mind. Designed. That's why it all works. Think about all the cells, and the thousands/millions of jobs they do, in perfect coordination just in your fingers or hands. It's all designed.

They should make recommendations, and then before anything goes into effect, these recommendations must be passed into law (Congress passes bill, President signs it). They could bundle these up regularly.

Starting at the bottom with basic facts helps build understanding.

Almost seems too-good-to-be-true right? Such a tight margin-of-error...

CO2 is 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere, amazing! 79% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen 0.9% Argon 0.1% Other (includes CO2)

Amazing how precise we can get these number with what appears to be a very tight margin of error. The temperature estimating margin-of-error for sponges must be super tight! ;)

Spoiler: There's no life on any of those planets.

This is the correct take. Well said.

Another great memory was writing "broken" HTML comment tags so you could disable "auto-inserted" ads from Geocities and Angelfire (and other) sites so you could look cool with your premium, ad-free site.

So, so much time spent on DynamicDrive. It was the future. Thanks for the reminder!

Agreed. Glad to see the "opening up" of Aerospace/Military that SpaceX has enabled by simply being extremely competent. Anduril is also making great plays in the Military contractor space. They don't do "cost plus&q

Agreed. This is absolutely immoral. I don't know how we can trust that this evidence is useful in an "real" sense.

Just put this out there: The higher the stakes, the less we should trust what we're "told". Esp if we're told to "believe and don't question". It won't always be obvious to you directly, why something

Yes. But you have to know how to use them. And I don't mean "pressing buttons".

This is awesome. A lot of good comes from colocating office work into a central building so the outlying areas can be used for "life affirming" purposes. Housing, parks, churches, restaurants, entertainment etc. We should want mor

If you have an erroneous view of life and it's origins on earth, you'll come up with variations of this type of thinking. However, life didn't evolve through a random walk of chemical reactions turning into complex systems wi

Glad to see that SpaceX has lit a fire here. We'll look back and marvel at how much SpaceX accelerated our technological timeline due to aggressive optimism and engineering leadership.

Terrible for personal freedom and autonomy. We have to mandate that sellers of essential goods (grocery, fuel) must always accept cash. Obvious that this will be used against "anti government forces" in the future... which will gr

Yeah, this should be read that the Federal Govt has to have access to national borders, full stop (agreed). It doesn't (and can't) address the fact that the reason the Federal Govt wants access in this case is to help non-national

Impossible. DNA degrades very quickly. Half-life is ~520 years, and you'd assume any "storage" done quickly and ad-hoc (as these things always are) would not be ideal conditions to maximize this number.

>An appeal to incredulity is not an argument. It IS strange, using the evolutionary framework itself, that useless mutations will hang around for thousands or millions of years (countless generations) before dropping perfectly into an ex

This is absolutely untrue. It's strange that an uncoordinated, random walk of mutations would keep a profound number of changes in tact, ready for some other random bit to take place and it all just "fall into place". The eye

Evolution is simply not sufficient. Dr. David Gelertner, a CS professor from Yale, penned an essay in May that lays out the high level argument against Darwin/Evolution, including references to background material. https://w

100% THIS. Great details here. Glad to see this posted and we need to make as many people aware of the details in your post as possible.

Thanks for the help! I tried `spatial init` but no dice. I asked the question on the forum you linked. https://support.improbable.io/t/spatial-update-does-not-work... Thanks again!
