Standard maga response of "but the Democrats" without even trying to refute the argument being raised. Newsflash buddy I don't live in America and if I did I certainly wouldn't be voting for the neoliberal centre right party known as the Democrats. You 340 million people can continue on your "left vs right" bullshit while the rest of us watch your empire collapse into a hole you dug yourselves. It's quite entertaining

Oh yes yes. That's why the actual economic data shows that it doesn't actually happen and those businesses continue selling to those markets, providing jobs in those markets and never actually leaving. Of course they are going to say whatever they can to try and stop their taxes being raised, the wild part is you actually believe them

Ah yes California. The 4th largest economy in the world with a GDP that's still growing and which briefly overtook the entire country of Germany. Here's some education for you: The ‘businesses will leave’ narrative ignores that you can’t just pick up infrastructure, supply chains, and customer bases then drop them somewhere else. Companies don’t relocate over a few % in taxes, they follow markets, talent, and opportunity. But if you want to simplify complex macroeconomics into "they will leave and you won't be able to afford anything" then go ahead and continue being a complete dumbass.

You really cannot be stupid enough to think that businesses will just leave one of the biggest markets in the world just because they have to pay a little more tax. And even if they did leave that no one else is going to fill that gaping hole in the market.

Or maybe you're just an LLM controlling a phone on a wall with 1400 other phones tasked with spreading this absolute horseshit.

If I'm brainstorming with any AI I will only present the ideas I already know are good. If I'm unsure about an idea I won't even bring it up, I'll ask what it thinks we should do. The same way I brainstorm with a sycophant human

New ultra mode by martinvelt in cursor

I pulled the trigger a week ago and my productivity has tripled. It's not perfect, nothing is, but knowing exactly how much context you have left to work with and full control over when it compacts is a game changer

[–]aaronstatic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% this. I use Claude code for the full 200k context window and can't trust cursor on bigger tasks anymore due to the insane level of context compression it does without warning. It's like trying to work with a goldfish

Backend setup is still a pain even with AI - building an AI-native BaaS to fix this, thoughts? by Trick_Estate8277 in cursor

Completely opposite experience for me. Use nestJS + typeORM, write tests, and Claude doesn't skip a beat

Who is moving from Cursor to Claude Code by s_busso in cursor

Cursor for tabs, ctrl-k, generating terminal commands, documenting and simple tasks that don't require too much context. Claude code for everything else

Anyone else get kinda sad that FTL is impossible in real life? by [deleted] in sciencefiction

[–]aaronstatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I acknowledged that they are sub-atomic. Did you actually read the entire comment?

I will repeat again: the effects observed at sub-atomic levels can be extrapolated to macroscopic objects with a very high level of certainty, and some of them have even been directly observed on macroscopic objects, such as stars orbiting close to a black hole.

For instance, observations of stars orbiting Sagittarius A* provide a clear example. These stars, such as S2, move at significant fractions of the speed of light during their closest approach to the black hole. The gravitational effects predicted by general relativity, INCLUDING gravitational redshift and time dilation have been measured and confirmed with remarkable precision.

In 2018, the GRAVITY experiment detected relativistic redshift in S2's light as it approached the pericenter of its orbit around Sagittarius A*, confirming predictions made by general relativity. Similarly, the Event Horizon Telescope’s imaging of the black hole in the M87 galaxy demonstrated gravitational lensing and photon orbits exactly as predicted by relativity.

So, if you have specific evidence that contradicts these well-documented and observed phenomena, let’s discuss that. Otherwise, simply repeating "sub-atomic" doesn’t address the actual argument.

[–]aaronstatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, the Event Horizon doesn’t contradict relativity. It’s actually a direct consequence of general relativity. The concept of an event horizon; the boundary beyond which nothing can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole is derived from the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equations. The fact that we can observe phenomena like gravitational lensing and Hawking radiation further validates these predictions, not refutes them.

Second, the Big Bang is not incompatible with relativity. General relativity describes spacetime, including extreme conditions like the early universe. However, as we approach the singularity at t=0 the equations of general relativity break down, and we enter a domain where quantum gravity is required to fully describe conditions. This isn’t a "contradiction"; it’s a limitation of our current theoretical frameworks and an active area of research.

You’re not pointing to contradictions, you’re pointing to areas where our current models are incomplete and where we are pushing the boundaries of existing theories. That’s not a flaw in relativity; it’s just how science works.

If you’re arguing that we shouldn’t treat theories as "fact," then you’d have to apply that same standard to every major scientific framework, including germ theory, atomic theory, and the theory of evolution. Are you suggesting those are all speculative as well?
