But it’s just going to be a re-hash of what already exists. And right now, from examples I’ve seen, not very good. Hollywood does the re-hash already, but I think people will get sick of it.

What specific jobs are in danger from a language algorithm? So-called AI interpolates from what it’s trained on. It does not innovate. How is this different from the “automation will take all our jobs” cry that we’ve heard for decades now, and has fallen well short of the forecasted doom?

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between awkward phrasing you might get with a bot and someone using a translation program or for whom English is not their primary language, since syntax doesn’t always translate well. Our rules are set up such that only a few topics are off-limits. Other than those, moderation is not for content or veracity. We focus on the behaviors listed in the guidelines.

These “informative” posts (and their cousins, the ‘thank you, that’s interesting’ posts) are often precursors to spam; the account is just waiting for their post count to be higher (unlocking some features or just hoping not to be the new account on the block) before posting spam links. We know the tactics, and will ban if there are actual rules violations.

I disagree in the case of fission. One is more difficult; for a high-yield explosion you need to keep the material together for a certain amount of time. Otherwise you get a “fizzle” (and other issues can cause a fizzle as well) Also, if you are using uranium for the fission device, it needs to be adequately enriched. Reactors can overcome the parasitic losses due to low enrichment by making them bigger to reduced neutron leakage. If you use plutonium someone has to make the plutonium.

That’s what he reported; the tests have changed over time (he was 12 in 1930) and his score would be on the side of the argument that IQ tests really don’t measure intelligence

! Moderator Note We can do without racism, and there are wrong ways of calling it out, as we see here.

Because the additional money tends to be spent on things. That can happen, too.

! Moderator Note If you don’t cite your sources, then you are not offering up anything better. You also are presenting this from a perspective that you know what other people understand. This is not an acceptable approach.

! Moderator Note I hope this isn’t going to be another thread where you make assertions without providing the properly-cited source of your alleged information. Because that will not fly.

The data are embargoed for a period of time, so the researchers can do analysis and publish papers. “After the assigned exclusive access periods, JWST data shall be made available to the general scientific community and the public.” https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-opportunities-and-policies/jwst-general-science-policies/nasa-smd-policies-and-guidelines-for-the-operations-of-jwst-at-stsci/policy-2-data-rights-and-data-dissemination

It’s present for as long as there is an action force.

Actual maglev demo. No Bond villains were harmed in making the video.

The linked description of the probe says so. It’s the “express purpose” of the probe . “A Bracewell probe is a hypothetical concept for an autonomous interstellar space probe dispatched for the express purpose of communication with one or more alien civilizations.”

! Moderator Note It’s deja vu all over again

The link provided in the OP says it’s for communication. If moontanman wants a different scenario, they should specify it. But they’ve reached us, right? They are sightings on earth. And not successfully communicated with us. I’m not seeing any wiggle room here.

Then how are they UAP/ UFO phenomena, as specified in the OP?

A reminder that the “report post” function should be used for suspected rules violations. ”sounds like a bot” is not a rules violation.

So these would be unsuccessful Bracewell probes, seeing as they have not succeeded in communicating with us?

! Moderator Note From rule 2.7: members should be able to participate in the discussion without clicking any links or watching any videos. Videos and pictures should be accompanied by enough text to set the tone for the discussion IOW, you need to post the material to be discussed, not a video

! Moderator Note 1. Whether you understand something or not has no bearing on its veracity. 2. Your description of what you think the sequence of events bears little resemblance to what the science says. 3. Discussion of supernatural anything or the intelligent design dogma has no place in this discussion

There could be a financial advantage, as the solar should eventually pay for itself. There is also the benefit of having battery backup in the case of downed transmission lines or a blown transformer.
