Andrew Côté @Andercot The Future is Here https://pic.x.com/gx1revli0i Replying to @Andercot Andrew, I tried talking to those three plants in front of that black building, but they were fairly ordinary.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-50273-5 When networks fail cumulatively for weeks, can geographic systems survive? This is something that can be tested in real world networks for countries, regions, cities, corporate networks, non-profit networks and support networks of all types. The Internet is so “hand-made, hand-maintained, hand-audited and verified” now, I can imagine whole countries, cities, critical systems failing

After Café: Strategies for Better Cross-Sectional Imaging – Edge Cleaving or FIB? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjifh7J4Wos Bangzhi Liu, Thank you for sharing these examples. It seems that human manual methods – cleaving with tweezers, pressing and heating, might have reached their limit. The results become more complex to evaluate, and corrections almost not possible at all. I

Interstellar Expansion WITHOUT Faster Than Light Travel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWlpNm1C5gw Intelligent systems are essentially immortal. The Milky Way is only about 106,000 light years. At 1 milliLightYear per year, that means a machine and human based expansion could cover it in 106 Million years. Most galaxies that reach the point they can store memories and learning
