No, because if you have a room empty, you now have to identify the vacated room, which could take an infinite amount of time

Also, it would take up to an infinite amount of distance to walk to or from the front desk, so we just be dealing with immortal guests who have no time sensitivity at all

Furthermore, the room must be made ready and guests tend to check out at a certain time of day, so you would have to decentralize everything while accounting for light speed limiting the speed of information

Some of these problems are solvable if you add more constraints to the puzzle. Like, if you have a rate of check-in to checkout you could do something with statistics and discrete math to divide the infinity into an infinite number of sub hotels, and in doing so possibly guarantee availability for the guest in a long but linear amount of time

It would be an interesting programming/math puzzle. My intuition tells me it is solvable, but it might not be

I mean… It’s less nonsensical than the original food pyramid. The original one was based on bad science funded by food companies

But a few years back they made that one with vertical slices that not only was a better application of the metaphor, it was backed by better understanding of nutrition. This is certainly a step backwards from that

It’s like that with most of the MAHA stuff… There’s a grain of truth in a lot of it, but then you keep reading and you’re like wtf did I just read

Why would it be a datacenter? We have lots of federally controlled datacenters. And data can be transferred at the speed of light, even if they want a direct line from the white house to a dedicated datacenter it’d probably be built in northern Virginia

It’s not a datacenter underneath, it’s a luxury bunker. Trump alludes to it all the time when he talks about “the ballroom”. He always speaks of the ballroom as a matter of safety

It’ll hurt his widdle feelings and incite him to waste time reacting though

Also there’s nothing stopping you crossing state lines on foot, or a bicycle, or any other non-regulated form of transit you don’t need ID to make use of.

Physically could you? Sometimes… Good luck going between cities safely and/or legally though. In some places it’s very possible, but most of the country cars are the only safe way to travel for any real distance

A right that can’t be practically used isn’t a right anymore

Also can you quickly show me where the right to travel without a government ID is enshrined? I must have missed that in my constitutional research.

It’s the fourth amendment, being forced to present ID is a search. The State is not supposed to be able to search you just because they feel like it.

If you could get on a bus or train without ID, it would be less of a big deal since there are practical considerations to operating a dangerous machine. But we’re becoming less free by the day

Rights have to be fought for. They erode if you don’t push for them

I actually just think they shouldn’t be allowed to run your plate or check your license unless there’s reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime. Such as driving in an unsafe manner

You need a license to operate a motor vehicle, but you shouldn’t have to submit to a search (eg presenting identification) without a reason. They should need probable cause

Like I said, there’s practical considerations here, but the right itself has been given up in favor of enforcement

Also, how do you actually travel between state lines without ID? It’s now required for a bus, train, or plane. You could be a passenger, but you probably can’t ride a bike or walk legally unless you cross through a town on the border. And you definitely can’t do it safely because of cars

You could be a passenger in a private car, although police are likely to harass you if you hitchhike. And passengers are increasingly being forced to identify during traffic stops, another way the right continues to be eroded

A right you can only practice theoretically isn’t a right

Check out IVAO

There are, from random clicker sims to running actual air traffic in flight sims with such realism it took me a while to be certain it was a game (and not a air traffic union or something) when I looked up the website

That’s not what I was referring to. Intelligence is basically a combination of working memory, recall, cognition, and metacognition

The combination of these domains together produce the foundation for the “types” of intelligence, which might be more accurately described as abilities

Humor demonstrates these qualities socially. It’s not a direct relationship, more like a demonstration. Like how dancing demonstrates physical ability, humor demonstrates the factors underlying intelligence

(But you could also just be a good or bad dancer)

Yeah, I’d say humor is the better indicator. It boils down to the ability to connect ideas in creative ways, as well as keeping a longer context window in conversations

It’s not a direct 1:1, but what is intelligence really? There’s many types, and they’re all a combination of domains

That’s the straight of oman. Different straight

What longer route? It’s the only entrance to the gulf as in “Gulf States”

It’s NIMBY energy, but instead of blocking infrastructure for the public good they’re buildings so big they have weather and so loud they cause health issues. And sometimes poison the water supply apparently just to save a little money

I don’t think it’s that weird that this is where people draw the line

Sexually? Absolutely. Do you stop growing? Of course

But there’s no age of developmental maturity for your brain. It’s a popsci myth

Brain development never stops

Cool, well just ignore everything that doesn’t support your point I guess. Not like I laid out the breadcrumbs or anything

Excuse me for wanting an actual dialogue

Just imagine him slamming together hulk hands going “it’s sundar-ing time” at the R&D offices. Then one by one punching out monitors and telling employees “you’ve been sundered”

I’m pretty sure that’s how it happened

LMAO how is it a thin premise?

This isn’t some conspiracy theory, it’s an example of scientific bias. There’s experts in botany and anthropology that have already written books on the Aquery and food forests… We know quite a lot about them actually

This new study is just corroborating existing evidence we already have through lidar analysis via satellite

Which is all well and good, they’re just not nearly half as mysterious as the tone of the article makes them sound

It’s so crazy to me how Google went from like, a full decade ahead of the rest of the world in AI to unable to complete with the better hobbyists

Enshitification is a hell of a drug

Another point is that civilisation is in many ways an extension of mass agriculture, which would presumably have been the case here. Meaning, I expect that these peoples cleared a lot of land at one time, which was later recovered by the Amazon jungles.

Actually they used food forests - the entire Amazon has been heavily cultivated by human selection

Families would each have their own little food forest, which was more cultivated than farmed to have their selection. But the cool thing about that practice is that it instills an idea of “I liked this fruit, so I’ll plant the seeds when I’m done”, which results in plentiful food and game animals everywhere

How do we know all this? Their descendants are still around and still do this! It’s wild that they’re being called a lost civilization

When the Spanish first explored the Amazon River, they reported the banks were absolutely crawling with people. When they returned most of them were gone, probably because of diseases brought by the explorers

But for some reason those accounts were just dismissed by history, even though descendents of the survivors are still living there today
