- Comment on What phones are the government people using that are supposedly secure enough to discuss war plans? iPhone? Android? Some special custom-made phone specifically for the government? 1 day ago:
They have high side computers they referenced, those are specially vetted. These phones shouldn’t have had sensitive info on them. If the operating system or an app had a screen recorder or key logger, you’d have a leak, even if the encryption is secure. Plus there’s the physical vulnerability of people seeing it in public or losing the phone.

I don’t think it’s even a hot take
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 1 week ago:
Oh yeah, I remember now. It wasn’t registering the IP. But yeah there should be a way, I was just having technical issues with it.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 1 week ago:
I didn’t see a way to set it up on Java without running a local server. Is there? I prefer Java, but it seemed like a lot of hours of work to get a server set up.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 1 week ago:
Minecraft bedrock works over lan, I enjoy playing with my brother. Not exactly pvp though…
- Comment on Sony, which is making a Helldivers 2 movie, is also making a new Starship Troopers movie, but it's not based on the Starship Troopers movie we already have 1 week ago:
Wasn’t the original novel just pro fascist, but the movie made it into a ‘pro fascist’ satire? Or am I remembering that wrong?

Is there a way of cropping with default apps on mobile?
- Comment on I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car. 2 weeks ago:
I more think it’s impressive they manage to still be unhappy with absolutely no reason to be so.

C5 Galaxy big Jets? Private jet sized Lear Jets? 737 type refueler jets?
- Comment on Untraceable airplanes 3 weeks ago:
What type of aircraft were they?

We’d need to break the speed of light, which isn’t possible with our current understanding of physics, but who knows.

Not till the heat death of the universe.

You could also use a wormhole to travel to different universes. It breaks the speed of light, so all bets are off.

It’d be interesting to see what a log scale would look like for this. I’ll see if I can find one.
Here’s one.

Looks like the image at the top is a bit condensed comparatively.

The edge of the observable universe is moving away from us faster than the speed of light from our perspective. (Due to space stretching) So we’d need to go faster than the speed of light to catch up.

If we assume the hubble constant is the same in all directions, the farthest we’d be able to see would be a sphere, dictated by the time light has had to travel to us.

Is the radial scale logarithmic? Or is it even more compressed than that?
- Comment on Why do people say more people didnt vote for trump than did? 5 weeks ago:
Turnout was one of the highest at 64%. (2020 was the highest recently at 66%) It’s hard to get everyone to do anything.
- Comment on Anon wants $3 million 5 weeks ago:
Hmm, bullet proof glass is plexi/polycarb, so I wonder why they’re advertising it as such.
- Comment on Anon remembers summer 5 weeks ago:
That’s really interesting. I’m glad it sounds like the situation is better now.
I wonder if that was your brain going on auto pilot, or just turning off memory making? Like I wonder if you would have known at the time anything was different.
- Comment on Anon wants $3 million 5 weeks ago:
It’s like an inch thick plastic, so I doubt that would help. I think that’s what they make the overlook sky balconys out of, so it’s pretty resilient. Maybe you could whittle away at it with metal cleats over time? But I think they would probably kick you out first.
- Comment on Anon wants $3 million 5 weeks ago:
If they’re only allowing kicking, you should use a 50cal shoe!
- Comment on Anon wants $3 million 5 weeks ago:
Bullet proof glass is plexiglass/polycarbonate, so I don’t think a glass breaker would help.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, but then you need to cut them down and burry them so that decomposition doesn’t release the co2 again. And it takes a lot of land, which can be prohibitive on the scale we’ll need.
Another interesting option is fertilizing parts of the ocean for algie to grow. Cody’sLab has an interesting video on a possible way to do that with intentionally crashing astroids into the ocean. youtu.be/z7u_IqzkJzE youtu.be/2zQb_OitsaY
All of these, plus mechanical direct air carbon capture are methods of carbon capture. The right answer will likely be some mix of all of them.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 weeks ago:
Even if we went to zero emissions soon, we’d still want to decrease CO2 over time to reverse the effects of climate change. Capturing co2 is always going to be much more energy intensive than not emitting it in the first place, but sometimes you don’t have another choice.
- Comment on It'll happen to you! 1 month ago:
Yeah, frequency might go a bit higher. But I doubt many people could tell the difference between 8k and 16k.
- Comment on It'll happen to you! 1 month ago:
I don’t think you’ll need much more than 8k 144hz. Your eyes just can’t see that much. Maybe the connector will eventually get smaller, such as USBC?
- Comment on Yes that is definitely what I was going for, thank you 1 month ago:
This is the one use of LLMs I actually really want, smarter text prediction!
- Comment on The Safety Alternative 1 month ago:
Why? It’s much more eco friendly CO2 wise than concrete.
