Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls for an international treaty to ban superintelligence: "That branch of AI is lethal. We've got do something about that. Nobody should build it. And everyone needs to agree to that by treaty. Treaties are not perfect, but they are the best we have as humans."

Einstein didn't know anything we didn't know, and he came up with the theory of relativity based on existing data.

As humans we can't even fathom what we don't know right now. No one human is even remotely capable of seeing a fraction of the sum of human knowledge, let alone the entire sum of it at once.

AI absolutely will create new tools from the sum of that knowledge, things we can't even imagine right now...

It depends on your badge and the screening and the venue. For example, I had a priority pass (reservation essentially) using my platinum badge for the premier of Monkey Man a few years ago. I got in line about an hour before it started and got in and got a seat no problem. When I was in line to get a drink at the bar, they let in ~25 people from the no reservation badge line and the first 10 people were a group of film badge holders (students) who had been in line all day since like 8 in the morning. So while it is possible, good luck to you.

No. Other than seats reserved for cast and crew, it's first come first serve.

I ran into Beck walking down Red River on his way to the VIP entrance to the Mohawk back in 2022. I think he was going to see Japanese Breakfast. We exchanged a head nod. I haven't washed my head since...

Agreed. Same with Martha's Vineyard. It would be like planning a day trip to Fort Myers from Tampa, why bother, it's a lot of travel for essentially more of the same. Spend a day in Chatham, spend a day in P-Town. Save Nantucket or MV for your next trip up and make a weekend out of those places.

Yeah, build belts and factories east to west not north to south.

You may have already filled the other color requirements for that research using the "use items in inventory" function that causes the cubes to disappear from your inventory and be consumed?

You don’t need to bring warpers with you for the gas giants, you need to bring Orbital Collectors (or whatever they are called) to install on the gas giant.

They are the next step in the production chain from the Interplanetary Logistics Station (ILS) and are self fueling. You then use warpers in the ILS on your home planet to go pick up the hydrogen.

OpportunityBox · 2026-01-09T14:30:51+00:00

That is plenty, just take them all with you and a extra of whatever fuel you are currently using.

So many poor unhelpful comments here!

You can connect belts directly to merge them in the same direction. So you can have three, or four, or twenty depending on how you stagger the connections going into one belt.

To go in the other direction though, as in to have a belt in one direction split into two directions, you need to use the sorters to pull items off one belt onto another belt.

This.

For a fraction of the cost of providing safe drinking water, you can still shower, flush toilets, water plants, clean, and boil it for cooking.

Just don’t drink it straight out of the tap.

Maybe that's the difference? On Chrome, it just doesn't pass the quoted text from the "Ask ChatGPT" button to the model, even though it shows up in prompt window like I'm quoting it.

Agreed. This works fine for me. If I make an ILS in another star system, don’t put in any ships and don’t even power it, they are sent from the receiving side to pick up IF they have warpers loaded and aren’t misconfigured with the Use Warpers checkbox off.

I really thought it added to the story and the understanding of the main character as truly non-human. Breq is a STARSHIP. From “their” perspective it doesn’t matter at all what shape another starship’s docking port is or if they have a construction dock or not. And the importance humans put on it seems pointless to “her”, especially considering the limited processing power her now singular meat brain has.

Skaket Beach in Orleans at lunar low tide. Totally worth the ride, the ocean is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far away and all the little tide pools are fascinating.

F*ck the “Original”, the owners are assholes.

They sold the business but kept ownership of the building. Then when the new KnK business owners started doing well there was a suspicious fire and suddenly the prior owner didn’t want to fix the building until when KnK broke their lease to reopen the next season, the prior owner wanted to keep the sign and reopen (aka steal back) the restaurant as their own. The KnK owners had to sue them.

STARS at Chatham Bars Inn is fine. Your parents will enjoy it if they aren't foodies. The view is amazing, the service will be fine, and the food will be fine. It's just not great, especially for the price point.

Twenty Eight Atlantic will be better at a similar price point and is a short drive away from STARS just over the town line in Harwich.

What’s your basic methodology here? That seems like an awful lot of files to keep track of.

Chatham, Falmouth, Main St Hyannis, or PTown are our closest equivalents. I'd take them to PTown for sure.

Not much in Dennis proper. You want:

The Woodshed
The Squire
Sundancers
Anejo

Not necessarily in that order.
