i would say yes. there likely isn’t going to be some fundamental re-thinking of evolution. sure, there are details and interactions we surely don’t know about yet, but the general principles and mechanisms are astoundingly clear.

on the other hand, gravity is central to the problem of combining general relativity and the standard model. so afaik, something significant will need to change in at least one of them to resolve the issue of gravity. so we know we have a pretty massive gap in our understanding somewhere.

this is exactly what i was trying to get at

what about numbers after 64? comment OP and i were trying to come up with a universal rule which we did in his response to my first comment

what about numbers larger than 16?

i know about hexadecimal, but what if you need to refer to a base larger than 16? i’m not saying it isn’t possible to create symbols for every number, i’m saying if you have to describe your base with more than one digit, you encounter a problem of not knowing what base that multi-digit number is in.

that’s fair, translating down is a good idea

we’d only be able to represent bases for numbers with one digit though because what does base 15+1 mean? the 15 could be in any base higher than 5. the clearest way would probably be to just represent it with lines or something “base ||||||||||”

that’s really interesting, didn’t know that about humans.

yeah for sure, all abstractions are just that: abstractions. and it’s fun to pick at their holes

i think it would depend on whether the genes from the mother or embryo build the shell.

i learned about GNU Taler the other day from one of the OS communities

the problem occurs when most of the content comes from Meta (they will likely have the vast majority of Fediverse users). especially if major communities exist on their instance. when meta decides to no longer support fedi integration, those in the fedi are forced to decide between staying with their communities by ditching the fedi and moving to threads or having many of their communities ripped away.

meta will do this at some point as a play to draw users to them, but we can decide if we want to be affected when that comes to pass.

Facebook could just create fake users that post ads as content

from what i understand, the real world hybrid data is significantly worse than its WLTP test data. so much worse that it’s only a 25% improvement over petrol/diesel instead of the 75% improvement that would be expected given the WLTP.

I wish we would just keep adding E’s so long threads would be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

which also happens to be the noise I make when I see them.

we also live in a world which has now known that premise and used it for 300 years, which makes it seem much more trivial than it was at the time.

curious about your setup, do you have anything for remote control? do you just run everything through the browser?

both are destroying the environment https://www.thedrive.com/news/tire-dust-makes-up-the-majority-of-ocean-microplastics-study-finds

what if it needed just one more second to complete?

ah ok makes sense. maybe after curling you can delete the debuggers/infinite loops in the scripts and then load all that locally into the browser for the tools? will just need to change the script sources go be your local copies

would it help to curl down the source html and scripts? I’m no professional at dealing with malicious code, but i would definitely recommend doing it inside a clean VM or docker container or something
