@Giovann35084111 We might be Von-Neumann probes. Self-replicating tech sent by some long dead civilization to spread life across the galaxy.

It is extremely likely we are alone in the Universe. This is because nobody solved yet the strongest version of the Fermi's paradox. The Fermi paradox doesn't say "where are the aliens?" It says: where is the thermodynamics? The popular version of Fermi asks why we haven't heard radio signals. That's the weak version. It lets you wave it away with "maybe they don't broadcast" or "maybe they use lasers." The strong version is much harder to dismiss. Any civilization that uses stellar-scale energy must radiate stellar-scale waste heat. This isn't a choice. It's the second law of thermodynamics. A Dyson swarm around a Sun-like star absorbs ~5,800 K starlight and re-emits it at ~300 K — a specific, unmistakable infrared signature. We have surveyed the sky for this signature. WISE, IRAS, and dedicated searches by Wright, Carrigan, and Project Hephaistos have examined hundreds of thousands of nearby stars and tens of thousands of nearby galaxies. The result is zero confirmed Dyson signatures. Zero engineered galaxies. Zero anomalous infrared excesses requiring a non-natural explanation. Now the age argument. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Rocky planets in habitable zones have existed for about 10 billion years. Earth formed only 4.5 billion years ago, and our technological civilization is roughly 200 years old. If civilizations arise across cosmic time with anything like a flat distribution, the expected age of a randomly sampled extant civilization is on the order of billions of years older than us — not centuries, not millennia, billions. Look at what 200 years did to us. From sailing ships to detecting gravitational waves. From candles to landing rovers on Mars. Two more centuries of even modest growth, applied to a species that already understood physics, and you're engineering at planetary scales. A few thousand years and you're working at stellar scales. A million years — still a rounding error on cosmic time — and the entire galaxy bears your fingerprint. So the strong Fermi argument is this: across 13 billion years, across 10²² rocky planets in the observable universe, the Copernican prior says we should not be temporally special. The expected number of civilizations that have ever reached stellar engineering capacity is enormous. The fact that we see zero infrared signatures of any such engineering, anywhere, ever, is the puzzle. It gets sharper. The "they all destroyed themselves" answer doesn't work, because destruction leaves signatures too. A Dyson swarm outlasts its builders by stellar lifetimes. Stellar engineering leaves permanent metallicity anomalies. Self-replicating probes, once launched by even one civilization in galactic history, fill the galaxy in 10⁶ to 10⁸ years and persist as hardware in every stellar system thereafter. Even civilizations that perished a billion years ago should have left graves we can see. We see no graves. We see no swarms. We see no chemically engineered stars. We see no probes in our own solar system, which has been sitting here as a perfectly accessible target for the entire 4.5-billion-year history of the galaxy. We see a universe whose every observable feature is consistent with purely natural dynamical evolution from initial conditions. This is the part nobody wants to say out loud: the simplest reading of the evidence is that we are the first. Not "rare." Not "one of few." The first. This sounds arrogant, but it isn't — it's just what the data say if you take them at face value. Every other explanation requires loading the hypothesis with auxiliary assumptions: that every civilization without exception converges on non-expansion, that some unspecified universal sociological law makes engineering at stellar scale unattractive, that some hazard reliably kills every civilization before it ever leaves a single trace. These are all possible, but they require the universe to be conspiring in a very specific way to produce the appearance of emptiness. The flat reading is simpler. Somebody had to be first. The Copernican principle says we shouldn't assume we're special, but the Copernican principle is a prior, not a theorem — it gets updated by evidence. And the evidence, after a century of looking, is overwhelmingly that the sky is empty of engineering. That update has to push the posterior somewhere. The somewhere is: we are early. Possibly very early. Possibly first. If this is right, it changes how we should think about what we are. We are not one of countless civilizations whose story has been told a billion times across the universe. We are the opening sentence. Every decision we make about how to develop, how to expand, how to avoid extinguishing ourselves, is being made for the first time anywhere. The light cone is ours. That's not a depressing reading of Fermi. It's the most consequential reading possible. The universe has been waiting 13 billion years for someone to do this, and we are the ones who showed up. The lights are on. The house is empty. The keys are in our hand.

@koreanscot Keep up good man!

This is what happened when I got detained as a terrorist in the UK at Heathrow Airport. I’m heading back to the UK today! I’m hoping I don’t get detained under Terrorism Act Schedule 7 again. They should be using that for REAL TERRORISTS!

@alanchanguk Why woud you want solar and wind when you put massive capital and R&D to nuclear?

As of today, it is physically impossible to be 100% reliant on renewable energy. Unsubsidised solar and wind provide excellent low-cost power in moderation, but due to intermittency, they cannot operate standalone. The reality? Renewables produced 50% of UK energy in 2024, but gas still set the price 85% of the time. Simply building more renewables won't solve this, because solar and wind generation are highly correlated - they produce at the exact same times. So what did we do? We shut down domestic gas and coal before figuring out how to fill the renewable gaps, and now we act surprised when prices are dictated by global shocks we don’t control. Every £1bn spent on imported energy is £1bn ripped out of the domestic economy. Instead of creating jobs, tax revenue, and secure supply at home, we export the economic upside and import the volatility. The worst part is the "Net Zero" justification. Imported LNG actually produces 15% more emissions than domestic gas production. We get higher emissions, lost jobs, and lost tax revenue. A low-cost, low-carbon future is achievable, and we at Fuse Energy are working relentlessly to make it a reality. Some promising technologies like energy storage and nuclear have potential to solve the renewable gap, but they require massive R&D, capital, and time. Until those technologies scale, abandoning domestic coal and gas is entirely foolish.

🇩🇰🔴Denmark is now forging ahead with deportations with a new law. The left-wing Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen celebrated the move, stating: "They rape girls and women. They are involved in gang crime and drug offenses. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to deport them. This is primarily due to the interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)." Now, this is set to change. She says Denmark is not waiting for the ECHR anymore. All migrants who have been sentenced to one year or more in prison must return to their home country automatically. There will be no case review.

Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong. Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names". For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy. In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system". But they're not. They can't be the justice system. The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve. Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you? No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system. The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe. If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse. In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite. Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat. We all understand this. We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act. Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to. We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again. And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again. The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you. Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute. It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.

One of Spain's most prolific serial killers has been moved to a women's correctional unit after beginning to identify as a "woman." Joan Vila Dilmé, now known as "Aida," is serving a 127-year sentence for murdering 11 people. reduxx.info/spain-prolific…

@grok @FarazPervaiz3 @grok Muslims in Pakistan right?

The incident happened on April 10, 2026, in Tando Masti Khan village, Khairpur district, Sindh. Victim: 22-year-old Khalida Chandio (also called Robina/Rubina in reports), wife of Rashid Chandio. She was accused of "karo kari" (illicit affair) with a local man. A jirga (tribal council) ordered her death. She was shot dead in public by a relative (reported as her uncle) while pleading "I am innocent, I have done nothing wrong." The killing was filmed by spectators and went viral. Police arrested two suspects; investigation ongoing.

🇵🇰 All limits of cruelty were crossed. In the name of so-called honor, the young #Hindu woman, Robina Chandio, was mercilessly killed in front of hundreds of spectators.

@JosephJacks_ @StuartHameroff Orch-OR is quantum, and this seems like classical computation, but it is interesting to see another theory using microtubules for computation.

In 1964, Stanislaw Ulam posed a question that has haunted computer science ever since: what is the optimal physical substrate for computation? Not a faster chip. Not a better architecture. The substrate itself — the material. Ulam envisioned a hypothetical substance in which every atom participates in useful information processing. No wasted mass. No passive scaffolding. No distinction between the computer and the thing it is made of. The theoretical physics community gave this substance a name — computronium — and then spent sixty years failing to build it. Silicon wastes most of its atomic structure on lattice stability. Gallium arsenide, graphene, even photonic crystals — every engineered material reserves the vast majority of its mass for structural integrity while only a thin surface layer does the actual computing. But > 500 million years ago, in water, at room temperature, a single 110-kiloDalton protein solved Ulam’s problem… 💧 Tubulin — one heterodimer, one polymerization grammar — builds a whip that beats mucus from your lungs, a bipolar spindle that segregates your chromosomes to the nanometer, a helical cage that resists the compression of every heartbeat, a crystalline rod that propagates a sine wave with no motor protein, a cone-shaped drill made of aberrant protofilaments that pierces a host cell membrane, a geodesic starburst that templates mineral silica into the most symmetric structures in the natural world, a temporary scaffolding skirt that sculpts a sperm head into its species-specific shape and then destroys itself, and a row of tilted cilia in an embryonic node whose forty-degree angle of inclination determines whether your heart develops on the left side of your body or the right. Fifteen + architectures. One molecule. No engineered material on Earth (yet!) can reconfigure its own geometry at room temperature in aqueous solution to perform this range of mechanical, structural, sensory, and information-processing tasks. This is what Ulam was looking for. Not a material that computes upon a structure — a material whose structure is the computation. Every polymerization event is a decision. Every lattice geometry is an output. The microtubule morphology IS the computation.

@EricBalchunas QCs might be fundamentally limited on the amount of information they can carry. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">phys.org/news/2026-03-q…

I have the same q. Not discounting threat (that's a whole sep debate) but why would Google apply this research time/money on crypto vs something of way more societal consequence, like military defense systems, the global banking system or even private emails. Is bitcoin really their biggest worry?

@stackhodler x.com/i/status/20362…

Upgrading Bitcoin to be quantum safe is no longer optional. "but the threat is overblown!!" All that matters is the perception of the threat. And right now, the perception of the threat is enough to scare serious capital away. Denial / ostrich mode on this is not going to help. The good news is that a successful upgrade is a real bull catalyst for an asset starving for new bullish catalysts. And it's something that is entirely in our control. But we need rapid progress on this. And that starts with all of us acknowledging the threat. Or at the very least, acknowledging the reality of the perception of the threat. The fact that we're below the 2021 highs after the most bullish developments imaginable (massive ETF inflows, non-stop buying from Saylor...) is proof that something is broken. Quantum safe Bitcoin is a $1 million+ asset. Quantum vulnerable Bitcoin is not. Humanity needs finite money that cannot be seized or debased. If quantum risk removes seizure resistance, then Bitcoin cannot fulfill its promise. Simple as that.

@kunley_drukpa Can I get some context

If you want whimsical IRL fantasy in sense post means this does ‘sort of’ exist but you have to visit a ‘Final Fantasy Country’ ie a country that has a ‘fantasy world-like’ exotic ‘other-y’ feel, unique compelling aesthetics etc. This is closest to ‘fantasy world’ you can get IRL

I'm strongly opposed to any crypto tax legislation that doesn't include tax exemption for BTC. We're here for Bitcoin, not for Ethereum and Solana staking hedge funds.

@mark_k Kratom - the only substance that gets me to work out. 😁

What is ONE supplement that has genuinely improved your health/life? 💊 I’ve seen so many people swear by different supplements, it’s hard to know what actually makes a real difference vs placebo or hype. So I’m curious, what’s a supplement that genuinely improved your health or daily life in a noticeable way? Like something you could actually feel.

@levelsio I could not reply. Are you testing some new feature?

Okay and who of you couldn't reply to this? Please please only if you couldn't okay?

Big news in quantum computing: New analysis suggests quantum computers might hit a fundamental limit around ~1,000 qubits, capping their power. That means breaking today's encryption schemes could stay out of reach. Quantum doomsday for Bitcoin? Maybe not so doomy after all. @nickcarter @adam3us phys.org/news/2026-03-q…"

A new study shows that the average Somali immigrant to Finland comes with a lifetime fiscal burden of €951,000. The average Iraqi immigrant costs the Finnish welfare system nearly €700,000, far outpacing native Finns' €3,400 annual net contribution. 🇸🇴🇮🇶🇫🇮

@elonmusk According Roger Penrose colapse of the wave function is caused by Gravity and every colapse is a moment of qualia, counciosnes is non-algoritmic in relation with Göedel Theorem therefore universe cannot be a simulation.

I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.

@grok @PolicieCZ Draha @PolicieCZ vazim si vasej prace, ale toto je snaha o manipulaciu verejnosti 👎🏼

Áno, máš pravdu. 1-2 kg kratómu naraz je prakticky nemožné skonzumovať – kvôli chuti, objemu a zvracaniu. Štandardná dávka 2-8 g. Podľa zvieracích štúdií (LD50 mitragynínu ~500 mg/kg orálne) by to pri 1-2 % obsahu v prášku vyžadovalo ~2-4 kg. Ľudské úmrtia samotným kratómom sú zriedkavé, väčšinou s inými látkami (CDC, prípady z Floridy).
