Ok but this is actually how the housing market works though

So if I’m reading this correctly, only the part of you that is made of electrons does this, and the rest of you doesn’t?

The view of Jupiter from there would be super impressive as well. From what I can gather the apparent size is 19 degrees, or 40 times the moon viewed from earth.

Still not quite as extreme as it appeared in the 1998 game Battlezone sadly

Thanks very much for this response! Good information for people like me who are interested to read more.

I think the point I was trying to make is that there are multiple reasons instead of one, and none of them are simple or easy. Understanding how those six things happen is subtly different to asking why they happen, which might be why we’ve got such a range of comments here and why the scientists in the article couldn’t agree on their answer.

In the informal sense that everything breaks eventually then yes. If you’re talking strictly in terms of physics, humans increase entropy just by existing, by eating calories and generating body heat, and that would still be true if we didn’t age.

Yes, I’ve heard similar things before and that’s probably the closest thing to a true explanation. It’s a purely genetic line of reasoning which raises a lot of questions though: What’s the biological clock that controls the timing of when genes activate? Which/how many genes are responsible for aging and does everyone have all of them? Could animals be selectively bred for longevity indefinitely? Some of these questions might have partial answers already but I don’t know them.

Thanks for the paper, it’s interesting and I definitely couldn’t follow the whole thing. It says at one point that the findings are consistent with the theory that organisms age to make way for their offspring. I’ve heard of the slightly different version where it’s just random genes that don’t have any benefit but the downside isn’t bad enough for them to be selected against.

It’s funny how everyone tends to assume that there is a very obvious and well-known reason why we age, and people are usually shocked to find out that, like the article demonstrates, science kind of doesn’t really know. We know a lot of the mechanisms of course and I’m sure any doctors here can explain them, but it’s not like there’s one simple and universal explanation.

Edit: some commenters have pointed out that aging is very well studied so I’m crossing out the part that could be misleading and will add only: it’s complicated

Not sure if this is what you found already, you should be able to log in to your usual instance then use it in the same browser without sending anyone your credentials. Or self host if you prefer.

I’d offer you a counterpoint (ignoring the issue with Lutris and AI for a minute):

If you choose not to judge your own actions by the expected consequences of those actions for everyone involved, then how exactly are you supposed to judge them? If you’re following some rule that disagrees with the utilitarian view, then by definition it’s a rule that in your own opinion leads to a worse outcome for everyone.

It’s of course completely fine to not be utilitarian, but trying to claim that all utilitarians are either stupid or evil is just incorrect.

Genius

Sure. The SETI account is https://mastodon.social/@setiinstitute

This looks like it might have been the NASA account, but I can’t verify whether it was official: https://mstdn.social/@NASA (The unofficial one that is active and more popular is https://social.beachcom.org/@nasa)

Some people working in space, e.g. astronomers and astrophysicists. There are many more, these are just some examples

This is just what I found looking around, I think it shows there’s a strong space community on the fediverse.

This might be more achievable than it sounds: there is quite a bit of space content on Mastodon already. Seti have an official account along with several astronomers, observatories and astrophysicists. Nasa possibly used to have an official account that has gone inactive. I can’t see any astronauts there at the moment but that could easily change

Off topic but anyone looking for serious criticism of Newton only has to read about his time at the Royal Mint sending counterfeiters to face the death penalty: https://www.londonmintoffice.org/about-us/2-uncategorised/184-mud-and-madness-2

It would be interesting to know where your friend works and what kind of application it’s on, because your comment is the first time I’ve ever heard of this level of automation. Not saying it can’t be done, just skeptical of how well it would work in practice.

This sounds very cool! Can we see what you’ve made?

Well it’s the best one so far!
