now that’s an immaculate conception

i would say yes. there likely isn’t going to be some fundamental re-thinking of evolution. sure, there are details and interactions we surely don’t know about yet, but the general principles and mechanisms are astoundingly clear.

on the other hand, gravity is central to the problem of combining general relativity and the standard model. so afaik, something significant will need to change in at least one of them to resolve the issue of gravity. so we know we have a pretty massive gap in our understanding somewhere.

this is exactly what i was trying to get at

what about numbers after 64? comment OP and i were trying to come up with a universal rule which we did in his response to my first comment

what about numbers larger than 16?

i know about hexadecimal, but what if you need to refer to a base larger than 16? i’m not saying it isn’t possible to create symbols for every number, i’m saying if you have to describe your base with more than one digit, you encounter a problem of not knowing what base that multi-digit number is in.

that’s fair, translating down is a good idea

we’d only be able to represent bases for numbers with one digit though because what does base 15+1 mean? the 15 could be in any base higher than 5. the clearest way would probably be to just represent it with lines or something “base ||||||||||”

i think it would depend on whether the genes from the mother or embryo build the shell.

from what i understand, the real world hybrid data is significantly worse than its WLTP test data. so much worse that it’s only a 25% improvement over petrol/diesel instead of the 75% improvement that would be expected given the WLTP.

I wish we would just keep adding E’s so long threads would be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

which also happens to be the noise I make when I see them.

we also live in a world which has now known that premise and used it for 300 years, which makes it seem much more trivial than it was at the time.

I was curious so I looked, Wikipedia says the asteroid belt currently contains only about 3% the mass of the moon. I definitely thought it would be more!

what if it needed just one more second to complete?

turbines are still energy generation, heat is also emitted when that produced electricity is consumed.

• about 15% of electricity the world produces is used for refrigeration
• about 20% of electricity the world produces is used for computers

all machines have efficiency < 1 and therefore emit heat when used. many of those machines even have the goal of producing/moving heat.

thanks for the article. it seems that number only accounts for the heat released during energy generation at the power plant but there is also significant heat waste when it’s consumed. AC units, electric heaters, refrigerators, lightbulbs, pumps, basically all other machines. an individual unit might not produce that much but there are billions of them.

the farmer saying he treats the animals like family, which one might imply means he treats them well. but his family has to secretly run away from him due to abuse (insinuated by the wife quickly leaving with the kids). this mean he probably also abuses the animals, which is opposite of the implied meaning.
