It’s more like whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen regardless of how you feel about it so you can stress or you can chill and whatever is gonna be is gonna be regardless.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Boomers scolding us about how they were able to buy a house working at a gas station...
341·10 hours agoThe oldest sale I could easily find was 1988, when it sold for $338,000 or about $956,400 today. In 1960 when it was built it likely sold for $15,000 and $22,000 so about $249,077 today. So from 1960 to 1988 it increased by 3.84x and from 1988 to now it increased by 3.16x. Wages increased by around 5.2x from 1960 to 1990 and about 2.4x from 1990 to 2025. In 1988 the house was 10.5x the average American families gross annual income. In 1960 it was 3.9x the income and today it’s 36x the average American families gross annual income. I didn’t really account for the area so the last part should really be done for California. Even today it’s not fair to lump in the economics of somewhere like West Virginia or Mississippi with California. Either way it’s probably more accurate to use the median instead of average.

1·2 days agoIt’s not that difficult anymore, gene splicing is now something that can be done at home. Probably the hardest part is getting one’s hands on the material. There was that biolab that was just busted this year in Las Vegas.
Almost everyone is the hero of their story. If they think something it’s because it’s right and smart and if someone disagrees it’s because they’re bad and dumb regardless of the actual truth.
True, it’s a lot of assumptions either way one chooses. I just like the idea that everything that can be, is.

61·2 days agoA clandestine group using a model to aid in developing a nasty disease seems like the most likely uh oh scenario right now. Either that or an accidental scenario where AI was used somewhere it shouldn’t have been.

Reality as far as we know has a limited resolution aka the plank scale. It kinda makes sense. If an object like an atom required infinite information to encode it would collapse into a black hole.
Nothing? I’m not sure that’s true. If the universe is infinite and homogeneous then that would infer all finite permutations of energy occur, not once but infinitely many times. As for actually proving the universe is infinite? It’s not possible. We can only infer with measurements and physics which make accurate predictions we can measure. I mean not unless there’s like some cool way to traverse truly unheard of distances. Like if you could move 10^100 light years in a direction and it’s still the same even that wouldn’t prove it’s infinite but would really lend itself to the idea that it is.
Current astrophysical data shows that the large-scale spatial geometry of our universe is flat, meaning parallel lines remain parallel and triangles add up to 180°. However, flatness does not strictly prove the universe is infinite; a flat, simply connected universe is mathematically infinite, but a flat, multiply connected universe (like a cylinder or a hyper-torus) could be finite.Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background have measured this geometry with incredible precision, though slight margins for error still allow for the possibility that the universe curves on scales far larger than what we can observe.Whether the universe is finite or infinite remains an unresolved question in physics, though scientists generally use an infinite, flat model for standard cosmological calculations because it is mathematically simpler.
Reality isn’t continuous, at least as far as we are aware. Past the plank scale at least our models don’t work. Infinite information to encode everything seems like it would all just collapse into a black hole immediately so having some limit somewhere makes sense at least in that way.
Yup essentially. Although as far as physics is accurate and our measurements are accurate currently it seems to be the case that spacetime is actually flat and homogeneous aka it goes on and on in all directions and is equally full of shit. No way to prove that though, just infer from what we can measure using laws that accurately predict other shit we can measure.
Nope just one really big (infinitely large) universe. Eventually it starts looping. Like a small example, if I have 5 cups and 10 balls and I put all the balls into a cup eventually I get more than one ball in a cup because there’s more balls than cups. For any finite volume there’s a finite number of ways to arrange energy so with an infinite universe with infinite stuff it just starts looping eventually just like the balls in the cups situation.
In short you’re overthinking it. With Infinite space dust, you start making the same shit totally by accident eventually.
I’m a flat spacer, I think spacetime is flat, continuous, and homogeneous therefore ensuring any finite arrangement of energy is occurring infinite times in any direction you can point. Is there an atom for atom replica of the earth, it’s entire history, and me? Yup, infinitely many in any direction one can point, along with all other finite arrangements of energy.

Technology@lemmy.world•Professor denounces mass AI fraud on an exam at Brown University: ‘Academic integrity is at risk’English
82·3 days agoIt’s funny to watch people catch up with what’s been happening for years and what was foreseeable at least since 2020. The moment I saw an early version of chatGPT in 2019 I knew pretty much the whole story, although I didn’t account for the massive infrastructure build out backlash because I seriously underestimated the resource consumption.
