The question is not what state humans arein, but what state other humans would be when interacting with them. In other words, are other humans nice to me? I like it when they are nice to me. In return, I will also be nice to them.

Microchips? A lot of quantum physics is applied here from the top of my mind.

Quantum mechanics is relevant to humanity because we build things which are very small. General relativity is not, because we're more or less incapable of actually doing things on a scale where it matters.

General relativity is pretty relevant to GPS satellites.

0.1 in itself is a very good odd, and 0.1 * n tries is even more laughable. Also most people have two fingers touchID, which makes this number close to half in reality.

The roman culture of old surely did. I don't see anyone trying to claim the temple of Jupiter anymore?

While it is possible for modern Europe to repeat the mistakes of Rome, that played out slowly over centuries.

I'd be more concerned with making sure to not repeat e.g. the surprise rapid end to the USSR, along with a few other sudden scenarios like "gets invaded".

But a third of the world still celebrates Saturnalia!

But anything more than 1 vote assigned for your usage is quid pro quo (since you will get to enjoy policies that you "paid" for) when others only get a single vote.

How does one get readings from large antennas? Are the streams public?

I don't think most of this data is published, but you might be able to get access to AMSAT-DL data from their 20m dish in Bochum. https://amsat-dl.org/en/20-meter-antenna/

There is another way. Irrationality. People spend a lot on religion. Like a whole lot.

What if there was a faith system of ultimatley going to interstellar medium. You have faith, you automatically pay, like the rest of the people and you dont question it. You get tax breaks. It will help you in the end of times or something.

Just decide the ultimate goal to be interstellar medium touching in all directions.

You are a farmer? Well now you continue to farm to feed budding spacers. You are a game dev? Well, people are going to get bored in space, continue developing games for the ultimate goal.

Llms don't ingest the ascii, they have a tokenizer between the text and the llm. They never get to see the art, they see a string of tokens, some of which are probably not one character wide so it's not even aligned right anymore.

Ya if you ask them to make it too, they just make math based ones lol

If you go at light speed across the universe, the scenery would also not change, until you collide with something.

When you collide with something at light speed, you become the scenery (and the former scenery is no more), no?

"Is this what you can conjure Saruman?"

I have a strong belief that new mathematical tools and methods can be developed that can make it "easy" to break a lot of modern cryptography primitives without ever using a quantum computer.
