Reply to comment by KeaboUltra in The moon could get its own time zone, but clocks work differently there – here's why by QuickOliveSpring

There is no dark side of the moon. It's a misconception. The moon rotates just like the earth does, but it takes nearly a month to rotate once. It's in nearly perfect sync with the earth, which is why we only ever see the one side. But when it's a 'new moon ', aka fully dark to us, the other side is in full sun. You're seeing the moon day happen every month with the phases of the moon. So any moon base is gonna be dark two weeks a month.

Reply to comment by Accelerator231 in Scientists unveil plan to create biocomputers powered by human brain cells - Now, scientists unveil a revolutionary path to drive computing forward: organoid intelligence, where lab-grown brain organoids act as biological hardware by Gari_305

So neurons just crave stimulation, they don’t particularly care what stimulation it is. I believe how they train them is they try to get it to do something, and if it doesn’t do it they put it into a dark room with zero stimulation for a period of time then take it out. I think they combine that with the typical teaching of neural networks.

Lol, just because you can have dynamic variables doesn't mean that you can't set hard coded rules. It's a program. It doesn't just "exist" just like how any text or image AI can deny a request. Yes you can circumvent these rules, but not because it's intended, it's because it's a bug or an oversight, and isn't because the "machine is sentient" and is overwriting its programming.

It's clear you're very shortsighted and don't understand what I wrote.

Reply to comment by Quantumdrive95 in The European Hyperloop overtakes Elon Musk’s: 500 km of tunnels under Swiss soil by CelebrationDirect209

You very clearly didn’t read the article. Elon was talking about moving people 1,200km/hour. This is basically an underground conveyor belt which goes up to 30km/hour. The goals is to reduce road congestion by up to 40%. It’s completely different and in no way vindicates elons idea whatsoever

Reply to comment by Iffykindofguy in Either we're past the great filter, or ASI IS the great filter by Shoddy-Motor

Exactly. Why did this take you so long to admit? I could not have been clearer on my question the 5 times I had to ask it. So we agree, that no one has overcome their instincts right? We agree on that? We have no example of it happening and no valid reason to think it can happen outside of pure hopefulness. Correct?
