@FayazsalimMoha @Andercot If you cure aging and fail to leave Earth, your ageless body will boil away with the oceans when the Sun starts going red giant.

@Andercot Disagree that we will die regardless. Aging will likely be solved in under 50 years. But I agree that colonisation is important.

There's only one correct answer to the question of
"What is the acceptable casualty rate for the first-wave of space colonization before halting the attempts?"
And its 100%
100% casualty rate is acceptable. There is nothing more important, you will die anyway, on Earth or off

@jake250_sf @Sinnoware And yet a whole generation of institutionally-certified 'game designers' have declared the mechanic flawed and in need of replacement. The imm-sim genre has also, coincidentally, languished over this period.

@Sinnoware There isn't a single immersive sim I would have enjoyed without free saving. There is no problem to solve, it was perfect that way.

In fact, savescumming in immersive sims is one of the aspects (I don't wanna say problems) developers have been trying to change to encourage experimentation and improvisation without undermining the tension and consequences. 🧵
U n i m a x x e r@unirespecter
Nah some games are just naturally designed around savescumming and would be unplayably tedious without it. The intent of the developers was to force you to learn through trial and error. It’s not perfect but it’s better than old Nintendo games which just boot you back to start

@aakashgupta Oh cool, my PhD was on this exact topic!
There is absolutely no way this claim is true though. NV centres don't have anything like this kind of sensitivity, not even at their maximum theoretical limit.
Fun to see my thesis topic in the news though!

The physics underneath Ghost Murmur are wilder than the headline.
Your heart generates an electromagnetic field every time it beats. About 50 picoTesla at the chest surface. That's one billionth the strength of a refrigerator magnet. In a hospital, an MRI picks this up from inches away using a superconducting sensor cooled to near absolute zero.
Ghost Murmur reportedly does it from 40 miles, at ambient temperature, from a helicopter.
The key is nitrogen-vacancy centers in synthetic diamonds. Tiny atomic defects where a nitrogen atom sits next to a missing carbon atom in the diamond lattice. These defects are sensitive to magnetic fields at room temperature. In published research, NV diamond sensors have detected magnetic signals from single neurons. The problem has always been range. Labs measure in millimeters.
What Skunk Works apparently solved is the signal-to-noise problem at continental scale. The southern Iranian desert gave them ideal conditions: almost zero electromagnetic interference, no competing human signatures, thermal contrast between a warm body and cold rock at night. The AI doesn't just filter noise. It cross-references seismic, thermal, and electromagnetic data to confirm one heartbeat in a thousand square miles.
The airman had a survival beacon. He had to expose himself briefly to activate it. That moment may have been enough for the system to lock on. Once it had his cardiac signature, it could track him through solid rock.
Published science says this shouldn't work at these distances. Classified science doesn't publish.

I think this is the most insane thing the CIA has ever made public. 😨 They have a secret AI tool called Ghost Murmur. It detects your heartbeat from 40 miles away using AI. Not your phone. Not a tracker. Not a radio signal. Your heartbeat. It uses sensors built from synthetic diamonds to lock onto the electromagnetic fingerprint your heart produces every single beat, then pairs it with AI to filter that one signal from 1,000 square miles of noise. Last week, a wounded American pilot was hiding in a mountain crevice in Iran. No phone. No tracker. No way to call for help. America found him anyway. From the sky. By listening to his chest. But nobody mentioned the most important detail. This was Ghost Murmur's first operational use. It's been sitting classified for years. Tested. Ready. Waiting. They didn't reveal it to impress you. They revealed it because the rescue was already public. Every technology a government admits to is the one they've already moved past. Your heart has been broadcasting your location your entire life. Someone just built the receiver.

@chrislakin I have 2:23 left to figure out what to do about this before LeechBlock shuts me out of twitter for the day.

surprising # of high-performing people I know lose hours a day on their phone. so they try to restrict their phone usage. so inevitably they pick up another cope instead. whack-a-mole

@SkyeSharkie Unfortunately I don't think it'll work out that way. Nations would eventually optimise for success in the abstracted system only to get their lunch eaten by those optimising for real violence. Robot Jox speaks of this.
English
This is genuinely the most peaceful artifact of war ever to come out. Nothing in this video is hurting anyone at all, it's literally just boys playing RC fights at each other. Obviously the intercepted drones are intended for killing but this is still very interesting in that this particular exchange of interceptor vs. drone has absolutely no actual violence and only property destruction in it. It honestly makes me wonder if eventually, war could be replaced with some kind of entirely abstracted competitive system that physically harms no one.

Check out the work of the “Hora” crew of the Separate Presidential Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine 🔥 The fighters destroyed 11 Shaheds before they could cause harm on Ukrainian soil. The enemy UAVs were eliminated mid-air using interceptor STING.

David Lynch was a lifelong Transcendental Meditation practitioner.
His work is often described as 'dreamlike'.
Theory: he fell asleep while meditating and made art about the content of his dreams.
Dali and Gysin did it deliberately.
It's an underrated skill for artists.
