I wonder if any lifeforms evolving in that 5G condition have figured out how to use the helium to lighten their load.
Only if they're running down the road, with seven women on their mind.
Six times in the summary it says that eating protein "may" do this, or that, or may not do this or that.
They leave out: "or may not."
What would be REALLY exciting - over and above finding intelligent extraterrestrial non-human life - is discovering that they could metabolize helium.
Why not? The aliens in Project Hail Mary could build solid objects out of xenon, so why not helium?
of course we do. Humans need about 100,000 hours of training cycles before they're really useful. Heck, they need something like 10,000 hours of training cycles before they can even confidently master bipedal locomotion. We just think of it as "growing up".
what?? this isnt even close to true. its 10,000 to MASTER something.. 100,000 hours for what??
Start by learning to crawl. Learning to understand English (or whatever language you grow up with. Learning to speak. Learning to stand upright. Learning to walk. Learning to read. Learning to write. Learning all the thousands of rules of society. Learning arithmetic, history, all the stuff you learn in first grade.
These take literally YEARS.
10,000 hours to master something? That's about a year and a half of waking life. Call it two years, since one year old babies sleep a lot. Show me a two year old who's mastered anything.
It's a bit like an AI after training. The difference is we don't need zillions of training cycles and zillions of samples to train our "AI" modules.

The popular press is fond of throwing that term around, but at best, right now about all we can say is "we don't know that it isn't earthlike."
I think it's HIGHLY likely that there are numerous earth-like planets. Even if we haven't found any yet.
We are talking about different things.
I am talking about things like the press release we're talking about here saying that the planet LHS 1140 b is "a rocky, Earth-like planet in the habitable zone."
You seem to be talking about whether the galaxy has earthlike planets somewhere.
LLMs are decent editors, though.
But you need to edit their edits. They will make stuff up and slide it in when editing, not just when writing stuff.
Then there is the "rediscovery" aspect. It wasn't much of a "rediscovery" for the fishermen that told them where to find it and what species were being found/caught there. But, have no fear! These white knights are charging in to reclassify/designate the reef and end the fishermen's livelihoods. They're going to save it by collecting samples and drilling corals while excluding others. Nice.
From the article https://e360.yale.edu/digest/b... "“The fishermen’s boats are not used to going that far offshore, so it was risky for everyone,” said Zinzindohoué, whose team battled repeated engine failures and months of nausea-filled fieldwork before finally locating two strong sonar echoes pinging from the depths below."
so it sounds like it wasn't actually a fishing site, although apparently the local fishers knew what kinds of fish were in the area.
How many of these authors are now using Claude, or another LLM, to assist in their next book?
Probably very few. I know a lot of authors, and they pretty much all vigorously detest large language models and refuse to use them.
The next generation of authors, though... I expect they'll all be using LLMs.
Don't "normal" pirates get prison sentence in front of fines/damages?
Not in civil lawsuits, no.
Why is it all these earth like worlds exist, but no signs of life ? This is the Fermi paradox.
Right now, we don't know enough to say.
We have found hundreds of exoplanets, but so far we have not found any that we know are actually "earthlike." The popular press is fond of throwing that term around, but at best, right now about all we can say is "we don't know that it isn't earthlike." Often the term "earthlike" means "like Earth in one particular parameter, although completely different in other ways." This particular one isn't earthlike; it's a close-in planet of a red dwarf, a star nothing like the sun.
--to be fair, the ways we have of detecting exoplanets hundreds of light years distant is very biased in terms of what we're able to see, and what are easiest to see are planets that aren't Earthlike.
"neoliberalism" Sound more like neoReaganism. He was the joker who thought it would be a good idea to have private enterprise do government functions, and they bellied right up the bar to shake down the government.
Yes, the meaning of "liberal" in economics is different from the meaning of "liberal" in politics.
In response to your question 'Did nobody do the math at FCC?", the summary says that FCC specifically pointed out that their authority was only over the RF communications of the satellite. They had no authority to analyze or critique reflected light or to calculate whether it's a useful investment. FCC is the communications commission.
Second, obviously the final product, if it were to be implemented, would not be a single 60 foot mirror. Pointing out that a single small mirror produces an amount of power that's not economically useful is irrelevant, since producing an amount of power that's economically useful is not the point of the test. Deployment, tracking and pointing control of a flexible structure-- these are non-trivial, and would benefit from a test in orbit.
This was widespread in the news.
Got it. You mean "I heard it on the internet somewhere, not sure where."
There is nothing to "believe".
Yes, that's what I am coming to understand.
