The article from from Kai James in The Conversation entitled

Could aliens ever visit Earth? An aerospace scientist unpacks the challenges of interstellar spaceflight

was very well thought-out. It left no stone unturned in answering the question, at least in terms of space travel as we currently understand.

Best of all, it brought some…[Read more]

Michael Shermer could have picked many other better people than Batya Ungar-Sargon to discuss Anti-Semitism on the Left. Batya’s interview with Megyn Kelly was what cinched it for me.

Listening to Megyn Kelly parsing about the age of Epstein’s abuse victims and Batya blank-staring and apple-polishing over Trump’s treatment of this horror,…[Read more]

I lost sleep again, getting wind of even more horrible destruction in their cards by Thanksgiving or so.

While cards of any kind aren’t reliable for making predictions, we certainly can hope that MAGA and MAHA are flushed and out of the game by Thanksgiving.

Yes, I have seen Yarvin’s name crop up in a few articles recently. He thinks Trump is not killing democracy quickly enough and if MAGA loses the Senate  it will herald the end of the Trump administration which will “wither and ev…[Read more]

Good to see you back, and with such a great collection of article titles to explore and enjoy!

That’s so cool! I visualized a way to explain fairly simply how AI can do this, treating DNA/RNA just like another language.

I lost sleep again, getting wind of even more horrible destruction in their cards by Thanksgiving or so.

I got called into work last weekend to solve an emergency in a hospital IT system. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so I managed to get systems up and running again, 2 hours before the first scheduled operation.

Wouldn’t this be a great period in USA to run tests on the most anti-science politicians?

Anti-science polititians who take their own positions seriously are too unsteady as a supply of lab rats.

Fear not. My question was not a “Gotcha”. If you served, I salute your service in whatever capacity.

Members of the Armed Forces deserve our respect, regardless of the ridiculousness of foreign policies set by Congress and the Presidency.

Bout to be back in the woods and grateful for it.

I hope you’re better now.

I have yet read the Pope’s full Encyclical on AI and I’ll have to brace myself for vertigo to try. Those things get wordy and Gish Gallop-y.

I did not read the whole article cuz i just started feeling better after a minor health issue.

But it reminds me of the unholy alliance between Islamists and lefties.

Enco,

I don’t think they are hiding it as AI.

They are trying to follow Arthur C. Clarke’s dictum that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”…But they only have the grandiosity of magic without yet any of the omnific benevolence or competence.

That woman’s not “locally real”, including her semi-bull frog voice. I was waiting for her to jump out of her lock box in the demolished building, grab her top hat and cane, and start singing “Hello, My Baby”, “The Michigan Rag”, “Come Back To Erin”, and “Figaro.”

Seriously though i gotta listen to that one again.
