Huh. Maybe they changed the settings Over There.

Some flicker due to frame-rate mismatch, but I mostly listened rather than watched:

My inner six-year-old dinosaur fan is going, “AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!” right now.

Buuuh?

Fossil bog monster full of fossilized bog babies?

Spikey is the new fluffy.

PatRx2 · August 25, 2019, 1:45pm

Well, judging by what we’re seeing here, Spiky was fluffy on his underside.

I wanted to send the article to a friend so I clicked the share button.

This site really wants to make sure they have covered the ways to share…

They really internalized the “it’s nice to share” lesson in kindergarten.

I wonder exactly when and how that “lesson” expires. It certainly doesn’t apply to adults. Society pretty much agrees that the guy on the bus who asks strangers if he can use their cell phone is an asshole and anybody who hands their precious over is a chump.

I’ve never understood the point of those. It’s two clicks or a CTRL+C, CTRL+V to copy/paste the URL. But marketers think that they’re just the bees knees, and insist on them being added even though it slows down the page and costs them extra.

I can’t find anything useful on this guy at his blog. Is he a grifter that went one lightning bolt less crooked or what?

I believe our own @nimelennar appears in the comments with a helpful mathematical proof

It could be a different @nimelennar.

But, does he tell us whether an AI writing multidimensional music in nano-scale time can fix encryption in terms of post-quantum?

nimelennar · August 30, 2019, 3:12pm

Only if it’s on a 24-bit blockchain.

kxkvi · August 30, 2019, 4:51pm

Never seen so much woo at one time, and I don’t even know much about cryptography. I love this comment:

When I started reading this I was going to quote (and ridicule) all the bits that set off the crank alarm.
I gave up when I realized I’d have had to quote the entire article, which seemed redundant.

I think the guy needs Stanley Pons and Gwyneth Paltrow on his board of directors.

P.S. I looked for @nimelennar’s comment but didn’t see it. Can someone paste it here?

Stars between 65 and 130 solar masses exlopde in pair instability supernovas-- and nothing is left to collapse into a black hole. Stars between 50 and 65 solar masses pulsate, and shed mass near the end of their lives. As a result, there should be few, if any black holes in this mass class.

Well, LIGO has foumd one, and observers speculate it’s size is the result of black hole mergers.

Finally, a reason to watch porn you can tell your relatives about:

Also: this means the porn industry is doing more for the environment than most governments.
