Is there a similar project for Masters of Orion?

> why no radio frequency evidence of other stars

unless the radio beam is aimed directly at us, we may not be able to detect the radio communication of other civilizations.

this is such a large red-flag.. with layers of conflicts of interest

I tried it on gpt-4-turbo and it seems to give the right answer:

it's true.. the S&P 500 declined ~57% from Oct 2007 to Mar 2009

it looks like we can now actually use brains as computers: https://corticallabs.com/

you may be thinking of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Inertial_Fusion_Energy

Here the machine is using tin, which isn't suitable for fusion (no energy is released beyond iron).

I'm genuinely intrigued!

Any recommendations for tour companies? Do you have to bring your own tent? Any need for special masks/filters for volcanic gases?

Is fusion really that great? Decades of research and billions of dollars later it's still not commercially feasible.

Whereas solar power is cheaper than coal now. Also on the horizon is thorium reactors.

The vimeo link didn't work, took a while but found this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2AKpsBF-bvo

Given the warnings, it might get taken down soon.

This seems fundamental, surprised elementary operations hasn't been made a part of every major language/framework.

When prices "skyrocket", it becomes profitable to use a lot more expensive means to produce (eg: using nuclear energy to grow rice indoors), this will quickly increase supply.

For microchips, it's likely the prices have not increased enough to kickstart this increase in supply.
