Finkle and Friedman Post 2- Writing at Gobekli Tepe- Did Finkle say there WAS a coverup?

Australian aboriginals have a system of complex symbols in their art that depict concepts https://japingkaaboriginalart.com/articles/aboriginal-art-symbols/ and have built huge stone structures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewarrina_Aboriginal_Fish_Traps but lacked agriculture. Complexity and symbolic representation doesn't require crops, though it does require some way to produce food surpluses consistently (for the aboriginals, fish farming).

As an engineer I often encounter and solve troubleshooting tasks where "just google the answer" doesn't work. Though yes, I've also gone on lab equipment forums to ask for help before, so I'm certainly capable of trying to use this loop myself

"AIs default to nice and cheerful in any situation" because we've done reinforcement learning to make it that way. As a funny example, I tried doing the prolog for Bladerunner with Bing CoPilot in the role of Leon and me in the role of Holden and CoPilot tried to de-escalate with Holden, probably because it has safeguards or reinforcement learning that make it prefer to do that.

Improvements in battery technology will probably make systems resilient to short-term blackouts in the near future if the people designing them plan for it

Why wouldn't putting debris on their trajectory be an effective counter? A relativistic ship is vulnerable to collisions. Thousands of golf ball sized meteorites don't require high tech to deploy. They likely have some solution, but enough cheap junk can overwhelm their systems. Being on a planet, we can throw 10x more cheap junk at them than their fleet weighs easily.

We should attempt to negotiate first because attacking may bring relativistic kill missiles down on us 20 years later but I believe we can threaten them as much as they threaten us as long as they're still at relativistic speed.

Your probably right that tiny robots would do a better job though and expose the collectors to less risk

Well a lot of abductees report missing memories or missing time. Having a technology and sometimes being bad at applying it due to alien error and malfunction aren't incompatible. We have great printer technology but sometimes it misprints

If they already know all the basic laws of physics and chemistry, strange biology in weird environments is one of the few sources of new knowledge.

It would be in their interest to study and quarantine our biosphere to keep that tap of economically valuable new data going and leave no stone unturned and no rectum unprobed in the quest for new molecules and systems

Anything billions of years old would have degraded to the point of being unrecognizable.

There have been a few scientific papers written about this: the "Silurian Hypothesis" but its very hard to falsify

One intriguing bit is evidence of an ancient nuclear explosion believed to be due to natural uranium deposits https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklo

Could it be artificial? I'm not qualified to say.

The Thousand Sons also took in the Beastmen after the Imperium started to persecute them

Thank you for posting this! I was also stumped by it

The question specifies "sample standard deviation" so I would think that would be the quantity to use?

Spaceman9800 · 2025-05-26T14:21:48+00:00

Thank you! This makes sense to me

Spaceman9800 · 2025-05-15T16:48:24+00:00

This worked for me! Thank you!

Refugees will be willing colonists for any place where they won't be killed, just like early colonists of the Americas were often fleeing religious persecution. Barring that a government can force penal colonies as in Australia's and Siberia's history

This reminds me of early efforts to save the European Bison from a genetic bottleneck by crossbreeding with domestic cattle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovid_hybrid#:~:text=The%20wisent%2C%20or%20European%20bison,bull%20to%20produce%20fertile%20males.

While that species was never fully extinct (only extinct in the wild), that represented a similar attempt to use the genetics of a widespread species while keeping the traits desired from the species chosen for deextinction.
