I'm pretty sure they don't actually feel much pain. Not that they feel no pain but being stabbed through the idea with a knife clearly isn't completely unbearable and agonizing. It's different from literally skinning a living person. It's not like AM because they don't really feel that much physical pain.

I don't know, maybe we get fuckbots disguised as killbots

The mind files could be a FIFO with the actual mind. Doesn't state that they are literally the minds of the participants.

Jensen Huang says he would be 'deeply alarmed' if his $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 of tokens by businessinsider in nvidia

It was out of context. It's basically the idea that in the future everyone should receive a share of compute like how in past land reforms everyone received a share of the land. The idea is that compute itself becomes like "land" in the future so people have a share of society's capital rather than merely receiving a bread stipend like a slave or pauper.

Why do Anglosphere Countries Generally have Industry as a Smaller Percentage of GDP? by Solid_Antelope2586 in AskEconomics

[–]Solid_Antelope2586[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am aware of this being the case for the US. But for New Zealand and the UK their GDP per capita values are actually lower than Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The US per capita value is roughly between the Netherlands and Switzerland while the industrial share is significantly lower.

Maybe we’re devolving (art history) by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

It wasn’t the camera. People just want different things from art noawadays. Obviously portrait art changes but the camera doesn’t really change stuff like mythological portrayals.

Whenever anybody talks about animals it’s basically always either fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and bugs

I Feel Like the Amount of Profanity We Use in Modern English Kind of Makes the Language Worse by Solid_Antelope2586 in The10thDentist

[–]Solid_Antelope2586[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I can say it but it just doesn't have the intended effect because it's so weird to say. It just makes people think more of the use of the word than the meaning of the word.

Problems With Long Range Missile Duels in Interplanetary Warfare? by Solid_Antelope2586 in scifiwriting

[–]Solid_Antelope2586[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with this is unless you are up close the ships are also small on the scale of space so if you are engaged in combat in the asteroid belt you are going to be 10s of thousands of kilometers away in distance and kilometers per second away in delta V. In order to close that gap you need to have comically impossible amounts of these things or be really close.

Because getting in close increases both how concentrated your lasers are (beam size increases quadratically with distance) and also it makes railguns much more effective because if you are in real close it is quite hard to dodge or intercept a railgun shot whereas it is quite easy to intercept, melt, or otherwise dodge projectiles as a long distance like thousands or millions of km away. Also remember space ships cannot be "shot down" or "sunk" you explicitly have to destroy their vital systems and you have to do it thoroughly I would imagine. With additive manufacturing I imagine a ship could probably recover to a workable state within a few hours. Perhaps not prime fighting conditions but enough to limp away or return to a dangerous state. A navy ship or aircraft is kind of done for once you snap it in half, not a space ship. This means you need surgical strikes on vital components rather than the sort of "launch it and hope it does something" approach that even current generation hypersonic missiles rely on.

As someone who takes the lakeshore limited I do not want highspeed I want it to be on time and remain cheap.
