- Comment on Can a person who is representing his or herself still play the insanity defense or EED defense? 3 days ago:
If anything, representing yourself should make the insanity defense stronger.
- Comment on Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: Analyzing their SSD activity 4 days ago:
If you read through the paper this looks like a total nothingburger. They get the training data for the LLM they use for activity classification from the target system. Unless you give advertises labeled activity data from your system, the attack will not be possible as demonstrated.
- Comment on how much money is there in total? 1 week ago:
Money isn’t real so this is a meaningless question. The total amount isn’t negative though. Consider that the total GDP of the world is positive.

I’ll be honest that first screenshot is not a very flattering representation of the game’s graphics.

Space elevators require a counterweight on the other end, but there are various (theoretical for us, for now) launch systems that could be used. Spin launch and a launch loop for example. There’s also orbital rings which are somewhat similar to space elevators but AFAIK don’t require materials as strong as a space elevator would.

The best part about it is that it’s an extremely gradual slope completely unlike the mountain ranges on Earth, so you could haul stuff up there on trucks or trains easily.

They were well funded back when their real goal was to develop ICBMs capable of delivering nukes.

I think Mars, assuming you terraform it, would be pretty close to that on both counts. Space planes might still be difficult, but the delta V is much lower and Olympus Mons would pretty much sit above the atmosphere.

Apparently with 50% higher gravity it would be pretty much impossible with chemical rockets, but with the median of the estimate (so about 12.43 m/s^2^) it would be possible, you’d just need an incredibly large rocket, or non-chemical propulsion (e.g. nuclear).
A space program on that planet would definitely advance much slower than on Earth.
- Comment on Lmao 1 month ago:
That’s, uh, not really how that works. A taller atmosphere would mean you have to go through more of it, but unless it’s not a terrestrial then the atmosphere won’t be that much taller.
If it is a non-terrestrial planet, it’s unlikely anyone would be building rockets on there to begin with.

According to Wikipedia this planet has an estimated surface gravity of 12.43 m/s^2 with a margin of error of about 2 m/s^2. That’s only up to 50% higher than Earth’s 9.8 m/s^2 (on the high end of the error margin) so it probably would be possible to get into orbit.
That said we don’t actually know much about it for sure. We don’t know if it’s a terrestrial planet for example. It could be composed mostly of gases and liquids like Neptune.

Good point.

Maybe, but I don’t know if that’s a good thing. Social intelligence is how CEOs and other charlatans get disproportionate success in society, and if all we had was social intelligence humanity would be nothing but smooth-talking cavemen.

“Liable” means they might post a correction later that nobody will see because corrections aren’t sexy to algorithms. Big deal.

If Red Dead Redemption is anything to go by, there’s a sizeable and very dedicated audience to immersive multiplayer western games.

“Why can’t we live in a world where women don’t have to think about these things? It’s heartbreaking to hear of things women close to me have dealt with,” Chaney said. “It would be nice to work towards a world where there is no difference between the heat maps in these sets of images. That is the hope of the public health discipline.”
I’m not convinced this phenomenon would disappear in a world where women don’t have to think about these things. It could be an evolutionary psychology thing. Would have to repeat the experiment in different societies and environments to find out.

Lots of trees there. That place still looks pretty nice in the summer.
A quick web search had someone say it’s Yaroslavsky District, Moscow and while I’m not entirely convinced (having trouble matching the photo to a map), in the summer it will probably look similar to the photo of Yaroslavsky District on Wikipedia.
