Korkki,

It’s for being pro palestine isn’t it. You mods are absolutely shameless.

Korkki,

It’s not as if there were not enough assmad mods (and users) who hated seethed over the place already. This was just the reason to get it over with, because “Issrael hecking has the right to flatten terrorist Gaza and anybody who says otherwise is an anti-semite and a tankie.” Thats just the enviroment we live in and mind broken liberals see that as a reasonable position to have these days. Lemmyworld is also somehow as or even more insufferable than reddit in this regard. One just assumes that in the fringes there would be less mainstream and more nuance and willigness to speak up.

Korkki,

Well that was so obvious of a joke that it’s almost not funny :p

Korkki,

I hope they were lost in “fell in to the atmosphere and burned up” and not in “they started colliding with other space junk and accelerated the whole orbit toward a kessler syndrome” kinda way…

Korkki,

Yeah the whole article is full of these “no shit Sherlock moments!”

Korkki,

Well statistically speaking you and me are probably both quite average…

But average here means just a rocky planet inside it’s stars habitable zone. That is then shoved into the drake equation and that gives out that prediction for planet harboring at least microbial life within 65 light years, provided that 1% of planets with a chance to do so eventually develop life.

Evergrande's chairman has been detained. The company will struggle to survive (www.cnn.com)

After defaulting on its debt two years ago, Chinese real estate developer Evergrande was meant to be restructured and allowed to get back on its feet. But that plan now looks to be in peril, after police detained its chairman as well as staff at a financing subsidiary....

Korkki,

it’s probably only beneficial to China if the housing bubble is deflated. Astronomically inflated housing prices are only bad for economic growth in any country as they create unnecessary upward pressure for mortgages and rents that then push up wages in high housing cost areas and therefore make it more unaffordable to do business and produce things.

The only problem is to make sure it doesn’t just spiral out of hand and that all housing projects of Evergrande will finish and people wont lose their homes. Then investors can realize their losses as they should and not expect a bailout.

Korkki,

It’s not about the targeting computers not being powerful enough. It’s about the counter missile not being fast enough and the hypersonic missile being able to zig-zag like a cruise missile, but with similar speeds as ballistic has in it’s decent phase.

Korkki,

Then how does it react when the missile is going 3x as fast and sweeps right when the counter missile is sweeping to left towards the missiles previous position and misses, in that case it needs to be faster than the incoming missile itself. Yes, the speed would not be a problem towards a predictable trajectory, that’s how ballistic missiles are intercepted even if they go super fast. it’s basically a high school math problem in that case to calculate the point of interception in a firing solution. It’s also fine if missile can change course, that’s how cruise missiles are shot down, because the counter-missile can still race with them when they turn, but when the missile is fast and can change directions mid flight then it doesn’t much help how fast the computer calculates if the hardware can’t react fast enough. it’s basically like if your mind were able to move at superhuman speed but your body is still human and you get shot and only thing you can really do is to watch the bullet approaching but being unable to dodge fast enough.

Korkki,

Khinzal for example is meant to be both a ground targeting missile and a “carrier killer”. That alone should mean it’s indeed maneuverable in flight.

Korkki,

The car here is moving like 500km/h and it’s doing a zigzag in erratic pattern. Even if your rocks can change trajectory themselves mid flight they simply aren’t moving fast enough. Oh and you have to hit the car from 1km away.

Korkki,

Also, if Khinzal was really that maneuverable then how were the Ukrainians able to intercept multiple with the much slower Patriot missiles?

One can put serious doubt on their claims. Ukrainain MoD has every incentive to lie and on top of that they did show off some empty soviet era bombshells as remnants of a shot down Kinzhal.

Korkki,

It senses the competition…

Korkki,

That’s only for google though.

The Bioactive Substances in Spent Black Tea and Arabic Coffee Could Improve the Nutritional Value and Extend the Shelf Life of Sponge Cake after Fortification (pubs.acs.org)

Abstract: The study aimed to evaluate the potential use of spent coffee powder (SCP) and spent tea powder (STP) as bioactive supplements for sponge cake. To achieve this aim, we initially compared the chemical properties of spent tea and coffee powders with those of their raw forms. Subsequently, three supplemented cake blends...

Korkki,

It’s basically like sawdust and that is commonly used when growing fungi. I presume not all mushrooms like coffee. Some don even grow only on specific type of wood or waste.

The Oyster Mushrooms I buy from them are delicious.

Taste like coffee?

Korkki,

Weirdly specific, but interesting study to post here.

Russia, China, Iran state media see boost on X after removal of ‘state-affiliated’ labels (thehill.com)

The accounts of several Russian, Chinese and Iranian state media outlets saw a 70 percent increase in engagement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after it removed labels identifying them as “state-affiliated,” according to a new report released Tuesday....

Korkki, (edited )

So State labelled media was basically just keep wrong narratives under wraps, keep people away from them and shaft them down the algorithm where nobody would see it unless they went especially looking for it. It never had anything to do with “state media” since no western state media got the label, never had anything to do with lies, disinformation or propaganda either, since what is wider media these days anyway. It had everything to do with not following the Euro-Atlantic narrative and god forbid letting the designated “enemy countries” voice their side of the story. Why there is so much Twitter/X hate rn. in the media is because the western global ministry of truth fears losing grasp of the narrative if too much freedom is introduced.

I want to hear no bullshit here about how this was actually ever good and necessary and why we need narrative control for “democracy” and for protection of the fragile minds of the plebs who don’t know any better than to believe Russian and Chinese lies.

Edit: Oh right fediverse is has sizeable portion of assmad X refugees who now hate X and Musk and left when the people they don’t like got to post again. I must have struck a nerve Explains partly the dislikes. The others I guess are the unironic censorship supporters on a free speech platform, for various reasons.

Korkki,

And the worst part would be that if you fuck up the math some of the existing planet might get plunged into the sun or out of the star system if new planet is introduced or existing one is moved. As I understand it the predictions for the state of orbital system even now are only so good for certain amount of time before they become inaccurate and chaotic.

The time frame from stable orbit to any sort of habitability must be tens of thousands to millions of years. Probably massive floods from melting ice are the minimum if talking about a frozen snowball and atmosphere raining down if the deal is about cooling some Venus clone.

Korkki,

I guess a civilization that has the ability to engineer mega structures and move planets could have the sociological knowledge and skill to predict, plan and adjust it’s own population growth. And also humans don’t take up much space. Humanity could be housed in a single massive arcology couple tens of kilometers wide and long and few hundred meters tall with decent living space per head and have room to spare. it’s not the living space but the food, mining, industry, food mostly that takes up area and if that comes an issue there is all kinds of orbital installations that could feed people easier than whipping up a new habitable planet.

I see this rogue planet moving business more like a colonization or vanity project than a solution for population problems.

Korkki,

The particle accelerator is meant to produce the ultraviolet radiation used in the EUV lithography. It’s half avoiding ASML patents and half for future proofing since it has some benefits to the laser-tindroplet method of UV production in future speculative lithography processes.

“He’s more machine now, than man” What will we do with obsolete brain implants? (ia.acs.org.au)

As the field of implantable brain devices moves in leaps and bounds, there will come a time in the future when we will need to consider obsolescence of these devices, and as the implants grow in complexity and scope, will we eventually have to redefine our idea of what it is to be human?

Korkki, (edited )

There are really good points in the article about obsolescence. Like if some poor shmuck actually goes and takes the neuralink surgery, even if it’s for a valid medical or QoL reason and not just because cool early adopter factor and then the firm goes bust and customers have useless electrodes in their brains that is no longer supported by any company and made near impossible to hack because of close source software. Even if a company stays in business, but the tech itself might get old and then it’s a whole new thing to getting it removed and upgraded. There are other reasons why these things can’t really require cracking open a persons skull when installing or doing maintenance.

For wider adoption a BCI can’t be no more invasive than a injection and preferably being non permanent. Like Darpa N3 programs has studied these kinds of things with totally non invasive methods and injectable nanotransducers…
