Densely populated isn’t a problem for everyone (I like dense), and the pollution isn’t as bad as it used to be, right?
The authoritarian part is a major major issue of course, but my layperson perceptions of the material conditions of China is that it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be, and is getting better
And another upside, good public transit
I don’t even understand what people buy so often. I can easily go a month without buying a new physical item that’s not like, food
Oh I fully get you, and it is a problem, but at least enough of the people I know consider discord’s behaviour problematic already that it would be possible to get things rolling with migrating smaller communities and friends
The big communities though? Yeah no. There’s a reason Facebook is still used, it’s used a lot for organizing things
Don’t worry, once it goes public it will get worse and easier to replace
What do you want the geneticists to do? They are educated in their domain, you can’t just plop them into another field
The applications of their work is likely plenty in medicine and bioengineering
“the nobles that were killed under the French revolution weren’t bad people! They just kept sending people to death in pointless wars and kept mistreating them because they were disconnected! Have som sympathy for the rich assholes!”
We build the thing on the moon itself
Sure, it’s mostly barren rock, but it still got useful stuff there, like for example water (hydrogen and oxygen, rocket fuel), carbon and oxygen in the rocks (methane, also rocket fuel), metals (building rockets), and various other elements
From what I’ve read we know, it’s relatively poor in nitrogen and carbon, so the moon is not as useful as it could have been, but water is really all you need. If you can produce fuel and rocket parts on the moon, it’s about as useful as it can be for space exploration and development
Since, remember, the alternative is getting those resources either from the surface of the earth (expensive in terms of fuel, and requires powerful rockets, aka bigger ships, also expensive), or from some place further out like the asteroid belt (time consuming). Gravity on the moon is much much smaller, so even if we don’t have a space elevator, it would be far cheaper to use the moon as a starting point, or at least as a refueling point
Depending on the situation, repetitive shit might be unavoidable
Usually you can solve the issue by using regex, but regex can be difficult to work with as well
They are also useful for maintaining orbits (like the ISS), and could potentially be useful in long duration missions such as interplanetary transfers. If it takes months to get to Mars anyway, low thrust won’t matter if it means you get more total delta-v, and able to reduce the travel duration anyway, but of course this depends on the specifics
I appreciate it, but my comment was just as much of a throwaway comment, intentionally so
It’s possible AI data centers will just be outsourced to other countries. You don’t really need the data center to exist locally in the US
You’re seeing the US fall into fascism in real time, and this is what you’re concerned about?
…now the question is do we want to implement a command for that
They very much are, there’s just little to no political will to implement them
In the end, the stock market is a natural logical progression from the starts of capitalism, and the situation we are in today is again closer to capitalism logical conclusion
From capitalism’s basic principles, profit above literally everything was always bound to happen. Just how evolution happens through natural selection. It’s a similar process. Because ultimately capitalism is an economic system built on competition, not cooperation.
I don’t know enough about the subjects to go into details, but I know enough to say that that is reductive. ARM/alternatives are not inherently better, at least not universally. And, especially because of the inertia, I do not expect x86 to be fully replaced on the desktop any time soon. The motivations behind companies such as Apple using ARM likely have more to do with licensing than anything else
It’s probably more useful to think of x86 and ARM as slightly different tools that are slightly better suited to different tasks. Desktop, server (and possibly high-performance) computing are x86’s specialty, and I do not expect it to be replaced
All-in-all, from what I know, the practical differences between ARM and x86 are nowhere near large enough to be compared to something like the electric vs internal combustion engine. It’s probably closer to a difference of, say, a typical train and a subway
But, please read up on this yourself. I am not an expert in hardware, this is just what i casually picked up as a layperson
It’s very much not? It’s not even certain if an alternative architecture will ever fully replace it
Sure, but space habitats are far far more useful than underwater ones
There is definitively no shortage of challenges in orbit
With VR an important aspect you’re not mentioning is the 3D movement you are now able to do, inhabiting the played character in a more true to form way
