Good point! Obviously the solution here is to stop funding the science!

You might enjoy the book “Blindsight” by Peter Watts.

It does a phenomenal job telling a very unique first contact story. I can’t remember if cameras are much of a plot point (I think they use them occasionally), but one of the characters is a linguist, and the aliens are distinctly non-human.

Nonsense! Zoidberg’s a fine physician. For Aliens. Your mistake is being human!

I disagree there - peer review as a system isn’t designed to catch fraud at all, it’s designed to ensure that studies that get published meet a minimum standard for competence. Reviewers aren’t asked to look for fake data, and in most cases aren’t trained to spot it either.

Whether we need to create a new system that is designed to catch fraud prior to publication is a whole different question.

I feel like you can do both these days, can’t you? Hades was one of the first to break this ground.

Well, yes and no.

Quantum computers will likely never beat classical computing on classical algorithms, for exactly the reasons you stated, classical just has too much of a head start.

But there are certain problems with quantum algorithms that are exponentially faster than the classical algorithms. Quantum computers will be better on those problems very quickly, but we are still working on building reliable QCs. Also, we currently don’t know very many quantum algorithms with that degree of speedup, so as others have said there isn’t many use cases for QCs yet.

What is this garbage? If I own a house/gold/collectable/toilet paper during covid/… and the value goes up, am I supposed to pay taxes?

Yes, you are supposed to pay taxes on that (or on the house specifically). It’s called property taxes.

If the value goes up, you pay more taxes the next year, if the value goes down you pay less.

I’m not sure the ownership situation of the company, but it is also independently in bankruptcy so I think that is being dealt with later

After a few years the orbit will degrade enough that it’ll start to fall back to earth. At that point, the satellite will either burn up completely on re-entry, or partially and the rest will fall to earth.

Either way, each of these satellites will be completely gone from orbit after a few years.

ULA is already a private company. I don’t think the US government has done any of their own work to get to space since the shuttle.

How long did you play BoI for if getting burned out on Hades after 40hrs was fairly quick?

If you’re mixing things up in the kitchen, typically you try to be somewhat precise with ratios.

The difference in this case being that because the actual ratio of the blend is unknown, you don’t actually know how it would crystallize. Technically they could even change up the ratio week to week based on the price of high-fructose corn syrup so you wouldn’t even get consistency from it.

If this actually did lead to faster matrix multiplication, then essentially anything that can be done on a GPU would benefit. That definitely could include games, and physics models, along with a bunch of other applications (and yes, also AI stuff).

I’m sure the papers authors know all of that, but somehow along the line the article just became"faster and better AI"

But then what’s to stop one bad owner from just making 15 different accounts for their 15 different properties?

And from the users perspective, there’s reasons to prefer that all the properties under the same owner are tied to the same account. If bad reviews are happening it’s easier to see the pattern if all the properties on the account have bad reviews.

Not that I don’t generally agree with you, I just think that it’s a complicated enough issue that just limiting the number of listings per person won’t totally solve.

The above post is referencing/quoting a line from the show “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia”, which is why people up voting it

On top of that, IIRC the student loan aid was executive action alone (i.e. Biden specifically enacted it) while the pandemic checks were passed by congress so at best Trump might be able to say he pushed for it but it was still congress that made it happen.

I agree with many of the other commenters that OP debating their husband might not be the best idea.

But if that’s what they want, “Decoding the gurus” did at least one Rogan specific episode, and I think they do a better job covering and dismantling Rogan’s rhetorical approach than the podcasts above.

I haven’t actually read the novel version, just seen the movie enough times to know this wasn’t in it and that there was a novel

Probably the novel on which the movie was based.

Yes, I believe Trump went for an interview on Tucker’s show instead of going to the first rooinek republican primary debate. That was fairly recently
