Just did a Google search. Most cells which are actually produced are 10-11%.

3 body problem: orbital decay when there are three orbiting bodies of SIMILAR MASS.

Mercury is not similar mass to the sun, so this is not the three body problem

Many challenges become a lot easier when you have 10,000x more energy. Start building Dyson satellites and you will quickly have the energy you need to create solutions for your problems

Also: solar power is already a fusion generator

Well, by that metric we have 0.0000000001% of a Dyson sphere created.

Why would you use the energy on a planet? Clearly you would use the energy in space, probably in some of the same satellites that are gathering energy

I do not want to be living in your head. Why is searching the unknown with the tools at our disposal anti-science? Because it goes against some kind of norm held by what is deemed the "scientific community"? Who even is that and why do they get to say what knowledge to pursue?

Well we have a very incomplete but about 10-15% efficient Dyson swarm on earth with solar and wind farms. Now we just need to scale up.

Planet? Dyson swarms orbit a SUN, not a planet

I mean I know that...

If crypto isn't protected by its own cryptography and must instead be protected by the government then what in the f@*k is the point of crypto again?

Does anyone know if there's a Lua (not LuaJIT) library for the ffi functionality? I wonder if this library could work for both

You are talking about floating on your back. I'm talking about bobbing. As long as you hold your breath, your head will be under the surface... Unless you're built like a brick I guess.

But a brick with lungs. Hold full breath. If even that doesn't work then I guess swallow air and try not to burp or fart?

I typically use analogies to make something that is abstract more concrete.

Edit: apparently "load" is used to deserialize some data. Ya, this is bad, nevermind. I guess treat data stored in this format as code (effectively: don't use this format) unless it can be guaranteed safe.

I'm not an R programmer, but aren't you downloading a file from the Internet and executing it?

You could do the same thing with python/JavaScript/lua. Heck, you could do it with C - download, compile and then dynamically link.

If you want security don't download files from the internet and execute them.

We understand almost nothing, so this is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I don't think the cost/benefit of a second stage are hard to understand

Really, why? Because you might drown?

Try holding your breath and just floating, arms at your side and legs not moving. You will bob to the surface. Then quickly release your breath and snap your neck back to take a new one. Repeat. That's all it takes to not drown. You could almost do it as a quadriplegic (though I'm not 100% on "water balance" in that case).

> borg controlling the internet

Not sure if this was an intentional pun or you are more right than you realize...

Like... the physics?

If not, I think a NAND gate is made of just two transistors, so if you mean emulating how transistors should behave then I don't think it will affect performance more than ~50%

An error is given

The same kind of introspection lead me to create civboot.org[2] I'm currently creating a Lua-based development environment from scratch in (nearly) pure Lua[3].

There are others out there. You're not alone.

PS: Why Lua? Because it's small and readable and makes a great extension language.

The idea that we just need more piles of tools to fix the problems caused by our shiny new pile of tools is, I think, very demonstrative of how it's all going to come crashing down.

It was nice knowing you open internet!

Well, 2M of energy + opex at least

In those cases the bugs are more like advanced fighting moves. I don't think item dup or insta-kill bugs would be allowed, even if they did exist.

Satellite TV, being unidirectional, can hardly be called communication.

There's many things I don't know about AI, but I can almost guarantee very little about them is "simple"

A negative/positive feedback loop, depending on what you consider negative or positive.

I'd go negative, with the y axis being "useful". Negative feedback loops all go to zero.

Language processing differs from games like chess because with chess you can definite a clear metric of quality. If you can define such a metric, AI models can learn from themselves and have a near-infinite positive feedback loop. See AlphaGo etc.

Maybe they should have called it a "Web Crane" instead?

Or heck, even go for "Spider Web Crane" if they love the word "spider" so much.

Glad we can find agreement, but sorry this is justified violence :D
