@Danny_Ketch_ @thecathguy @Strangeazulmoon I feel like it needs to be outside the heliopause, or at least the Van Allen, if we are really trying to ring that bell
I am not sure who the dinner bell is for, us or them

@AnalyticD @thecathguy @Strangeazulmoon We arguably already did. Not with information encoded, but undeniably distinct.

I know no sci-fi fan wants to hear this but I think the answer really just is that interstellar travel is basically impossible. Or rather that interstellar civilization is impossible. Plus space is huge

My issue with the Fermi Paradox is the assumption that intelligence is a natural by-product of evolution. Dinosaurs were in charge for about 500 times longer than we have been, but never got around to inventing the radio. Our love for tech might make us the galactic weirdos.

@heychrisfox @NedRacine72 @flanders_v @01Ananto @ArmandVervaeck The other driver literally did nothing wrong, not one thing. The passing car is flagrant reckless driving.
English
"Cut off," "required distance," "endanger."
These are framing words, used from a biased perspective, to defend illegal activity. This driver did not "cut off" anyone - nobody even changed speeds or reacted to them. There is no "required distance" to pass someone; you just pass. Nobody here was endangered - a crash wasn't even close to happening - the person just went through an obvious opening in traffic.
Why is this complicated? Because you're making it complicated, because you personally seem to not respect laws. You are constructing your argument to defend two people driving illegally and trying to blame someone who wanted to get away from those poor drivers, who just happened to drive aggressively.
English
Blocking the passing lane is illegal. It's not an inconvenience. Driving checkerboard, in some places, is also illegal. Making an aggressive pass is not illegal.
This is what I mean. Just because you don't like him driving slightly fast doesn't make what he did wrong, while there are verifiably things illegal and wrong about the other drivers seen on the video

@Danny_Ketch_ @Strangeazulmoon Radio signals drop in strength equal to the square of the distance traveled. Even at one light year out you’re talking about a signal so faded as to be nearly indistinguishable from background radiation, let alone 100 or 1,000ly out

@eigenrobot Surely not ALL of it. You should make a post about the game itself and see if you get banned.

@CarolinaLion2 If you made a T-90 with American labor, I bet it would cost 5 times as much

You starting to realize there are downsides to one M1 Abrams costing as much as much as 4 T-90s?

@ChoochSkookum @ythorn3 @GregOwen70 @HedgieMarkets We are building AI with a built in index of the New Library of Alexandria and we have people dooming. Smh.
English
@ythorn3 @GregOwen70 @HedgieMarkets Complete texts are only available to llms if the text is stored in a separate vector db.
Im building such a system as we speak.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."
My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."
I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

@MacroMicroNMike @rossivision > minimum wage lowers total employment
so does child labor prohibition
English
@rossivision Your capabilities determine what you can do.
Sadly you and most other shit libs have 0 life experience and skills.
Thats why you end up contributing so heavily to decreasing the LFPR and increasing the unemployment rate.
Minimum wage lowers total employment.
Live in reality.

The sentence “people who aren’t worthy of the MINIMUM wage” explains everything you need to know about the right

@CodingSwede @scottbradford69 @rossivision Relative bargaining power determines *how much* money without changing the value of the thing in question.
English
@scottbradford69 @rossivision Yes. People give you money because you provide more value to them than they give. This is also why you buy a frozen pizza instead of making your own or keep your money.

@Jron73074698 @ekwufinance US adversaries: "we put so much effort into developing all this bullshit to contest the US and they just go pay 15% on their bonds for no reason; trillions in economic self-destruction, how do you compete with that"

Warsh can talk tough on inflation. He can't act tough.
- 1980 Debt/GDP: 31% vs 120% today
- Interest/tax receipts: 10% vs 21% today
- Deficit/GDP: 2.6% vs 6.3% today
Today's fiscal position is much weaker than it was during the Volcker era.
He has 2 options:
1. Fight inflation and blow up the bond market.
2. Sacrifice the USD to save the bond market.
I'm putting my money on option 2.

@soft_fox_lad Really excited to be refused entry back to the US for refusing the AI brain scan, and then thrown in prison for terrorist plotting after I acquiesce.

Interesting thread re: privacy. The legal side is all way over my head.

Car insurance is a fucking scam. Lifetime I’ve paid over 100k in car insurance. Maybe used it 3 times for 5k tops. What a joke

Geekerwan put out their new phone battery test results.
Crazy how much juice Apple squeezes out of relatively low-density batteries. It'd rule if Apple started using the battery chemistries used by Chinese firms.

@darnstadium Maybe they should try making any modern car that weighs less than 14 thousand pounds
English
Probably going to get banned for this, but.. maybe what we need is for the current 'War on Hybrids' to be abolished. Pure EV is not a solution, lugging around a big heavy battery pack negates any environmental advantage.

@wight1984 @ExistentialEnso > having the economic incentive to live nearer
you mean economic inability
English
@AnalyticD @ExistentialEnso Does this seem like a good outcome to you? Companies dictating where employees could live?
I think I'd prefer employees bearing the cost and having economic incentive to live nearer... but it being their choice.

I do not understand why anyone without kids would buy a house
