We have a pretty good idea of what you would need to travel faster than light, I don't think it's beyond reason a civilization more advanced than us could master it. If you go faster than FTL you can arrive before you left. If they have anti grav tech, it would imply they are already capable of...

Anything potentially sensitive, salacious (if you're the right people) or contentious is curated out to 40-50 pages then the search just stops returning results. What made search engines useful has been twisted and censored into oblivion. Short of knowing extremely specific search terms a decent...

It will be interesting to see how the prices change after amd launches the 7000 series. AMDs bill of material is expected to be much lower and the performance difference may not be that much. AMD could try to take market share and it could be a major hit to Nvidia's bottom line, or they could...

I fully understand the subject, I started the virtual currency thread here and I was one of the first thousand or so people to use Bitcoin. I appreciate your view point but it's a warped perspective of what's possible. Right now we have the tech to make anonymous ids validated by snarks, where...

How is it more centralized? I'm so confused what you mean by this. What does decentralized mean to you? Zcash and Monero are both anonymous, there is nothing stopping people from using them. All the pieces are there for a cash like society with digital transactions.

If you want another laugh, Orion had its test flight in 2014 and that's on top of its redesign in 2010. Boeing is just garbage and should be excluded from bidding on anything.

Clearly you've done zero research into this and you're talking out your ass. Just go back to negging everything your menial mind fails to grasp.

They built a test machine to make sure they could get it to work, now they're scaling it up for bigger payloads. It replaces the first stage of the rocket, so it still requires a second stage to get to orbit. What the fuck are you talking about?

I mined for years non stop with my 1080 and it did eventually stop working. I baked in a toaster oven as @Brahma suggested and it came back to life. This makes sense because one of the expected points of failure would be poor solder joints that eventually weaken and break under thermal load...

Even in the hard sciences more than half the paper conclusions are bullshit, it's infuriating. I'm not sure if academia people are just too agreeable or what, but I've known a handful of people who have published horseshit, that horseshit got a nice amount of references and everybody involved...

If this passes it may go down as one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in US history. Of all the people to be in charge when this happens you've got a dementia patient leading the US so if there is ready tech sitting there it's going to be in his hands and potentially his legacy...

The AI doesn't think unless something is asked of it and it doesn't have real thoughts just tricks to leverage the data it's been trained with to maintain context. It's like talking with a human with perfect recall of trillions of data points but it can't come up with anything new, it has no...

It was mostly witnessed by kids, what did you expect? I love how you pick the drawings of children but leave off the ones showing the indentations in the grass where the kids say a craft landed. It's probably one of the better accounts of a landing because it was witnessed by so many adults and...

Luis Elizondo and Gary Nolan have both mentioned in recent days of wording being worked on to offer amnesty to officials involved in the UAP cover up. Supposedly this is the last remaining road block before full disclosure as the people in charge of these programs have broken the law to maintain...

Shocked face.. pans to fucking body bags. No context, no explanation, just setup for pure emotional response, it's hard not to laugh at such obvious garbage. I would bet my left nut those were all Russian collaborators the Ukraine military/Azov battalion executed and since they're trash people...

They're planning to sell them at a loss just to gain marketshare and they have millions to sell. Plus they're targeted at the mainstream market as the highest end card they have might rival a 3070 but the bulk of GPU sales are 3070 and below so I expect they'll sell tons it's just at what price.

@DickTrickle if you don't think war zones are a means to siphon off weapons for resale you're either nieve or ignorant. So long as the people signing the paper work get their cut they couldn't give two shits where they end up. Billions of weapons bound for UAE/Saudi Arabia have armed all sorts...

They're probably selling them.

I really like this show for a whole host of reasons.

We'll have to agree to disagree. When I really dove into the subject there was a great amount of evidence that some sort of advanced intelligence is operating on the planet that doesn't originate from our civilization. I came at this as a skeptic that was convinced it was bullshit and I was...

The only place we know of with that's produced intelligent life is earth and modern humans have been kicking it for 250-300k in terms of fossils as much as 800k years using the genetic record. With the correct societal forces you're maybe 200-300 years from stone age culture to something that...

If I remember right first act is the Asian chicks kidnapping, second act they call everybody into the mob boss' house and they leave the quasi retarded guy to mind the phone. Retard answers the phone when they're at boss'place, they find out where he is with the trace buster buster and Lou...

I think the NASA budget once Starship starts flying is going to be very interesting. It's going to be real hard to justify a lot of these long term slow moving projects with all these complex expensive weight trade offs. The cost to fly is so expensive that everything has to be perfect right now...

Throw away starship and just consider currently available tech, 4.1 billion is same cost as 27 falcon heavy launches at 150 million per launch but we'll be generous and round it down to 25 launches. That gets you 64 tons to LEO per falcon heavy launch and if you were you assemble your ship in...

He posted an update to this request, it's expected to be fulfilled in 16 years lol

NASA writes reports that cost plus is always goes over budget and has never been on time but the people funding them don't care and say you have to keep using it. The whole thing is a scam that every us tax payer should be furious about. A few government contractors make off like bandits while...

There is a failed poet from Princeton deep in the bowels of the NSA who's just happy somebody is finally taking his poetry seriously.

What I found interesting about this was the possibility of time being multidimensional. Jacques Valle dives into fairies quite a bit and something consistent with the stories is that if you go into their homes you experience time differently. A pop culture example is how Peter Pan would...

Digititimes is reporting that AMD and Nvidia have both paid a healthy premium to reserve large orders of 5nm and 7nm. I'm hoping this means that supply won't be a concern but expect prices to go up 10-20% minimum.

It left a lot of stuff unanswered so it definitely feels like some sort of spin off is planned.

I bought a Titan Evo '22 and I've been impressed with it so far. The lumbar support has worked wonders for my lower back pain and noticeably improved my posture. The cloth material seems durable and keeps me fairly cool. I must of gotten one of the newer versions because I've had 0 quality...

I couldn't watch schitts creek because he always looked like he was mid shit in every scene.

@Foler 's pista! Nooo

Why not? In what world would it not be 10x as big and even more complex? If they can apply the same unfolding techniques to make it even bigger why wouldn't you do it? Unless the thing is fabbed in space and the fairing size doesn't matter I don't see things changing much.

All the more reason to build another JWST? Kind of my point that all that tech they developed is just shelved. Long term that cooling tech might be pretty lucrative for building super conductor computers in space.

You shouldn't dead name people bigot.

It makes zero sense to spend all that money figuring out how to build it only to produce one. Realistically the second would of cost a couple billion more? There is no shortage of work that could be done with more and dividing the cost across more units would be a more palatable price tag and it...

324 points of failure and NASA estimates it has a 80% chance of success. You may well get your wish.

IOOTI has come to define the content of the political threads for the 7-8 years. We were real early on how bad that was going to ass fuck the west into trannydom and soycucks. There is some timeline where it really was IOOTI and its my happy place.

Sounds interesting but it seems premature to make claims before making the data publicly available.
