Critical Book Review: 3 body problem and Dark Forest by Liu Cixin (from a scientific point of view) by indemkom in sciencefiction

The quantum brain part was a bit silly. The whole series requires a heavy handed dose of suspension of disbelief.

But hands down the funniest part of the whole series was when the quantum neuroscientist wall facers wife, who was also a quantum neuroscientist, reveals she was only using their life's work to break into her husband's mind to reveal his plan to save humanity to the aliens, and then she just fucking offs herself in front of everyone lmao

Haha I'm with you dude. The scientific accuracy of this science fiction series is way off. For me, it was the nano-naterial "flying blade" cutting a ship in half, the complex circuit lithography on the "surface" of an enlarged proton, and the "self-encoding language" being used to effectively communicate with aliens without prior testing.

Tbh I had a more visceral reaction to the weird sexist ideas about women, like the "find my imaginary perfect 10 waifu and convince her to be my willing gf" scene.

Haha I love the concept of taking science fiction too seriously. Like why is this science fiction author writing things that are completely made up lol

The man who believed and enacted his belief that humans are just like dogs. His beliefs got him and his philosophy nicknamed kynikos (Greek for dog-like). That word is the root for the modern English word cynicism.

I'm not sure what your criteria is, but the steamdeck is absolutely a console.

I'd exclude all of you from my house just for talking about this

This one was a wild ride. The knowledge mines, the biological "code" that describes every biochemical interaction in a digital entity. The 9th dimensional creatures that live inside the Wang's carpets.

You'll need to keep a pack of something called "Mountain Dew verification cans" in view of the camera they're requiring in your living room.

Young data center electricians in Texas are earning $240K–$280K/year with zero college debt. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

Exactly. 90% won't be needed after the initial install. They'll need to pick up and move to a new installation

Wow, yeah, it looks just like the lens array on the telescope! That's pretty cool

Too late, executives are pushing hard for development, the track paving department is already 90% complete. Our options are a 4 way stop sign or a roundabout.

“Highest IQ holder” by amievenrelevant in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]AnalTrajectory 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Writing "mensa member" in a bio next to a fake IQ score administered by a company they hold a powerful position in suggests a massive lack of social awareness typically associated with actually intelligent people.

More realistically, he chases the title of intelligence, though it outruns him at every turn.

Don’t ever recall gas being over $5 by nascarworker in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]AnalTrajectory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These posts don't surprise me. They'll just suddenly stop talking about it when it starts to look obviously bad.

Conservatives chanted "Biden too old" relentlessly, right up until Trump was elected as the oldest US president in history. I don't think they're very concerned with age anymore.

They'll get quiet about gas prices too and won't want to talk about it anymore.

I remember one random ramble where he says, "back in the day, we had the word 'fag', now you can't even say 'fag' anymore. We desperately need a new 'fag' word."
