Humans have the advantage of billions of years of evolution.

So if I'm understanding this right... There are turtles that live predominantly on land, which eat meat and plants, and there are tortoises which live on land that only eat plants?

Switched to brave after about a decade of Firefox, switched back to firefox after a couple of years because chromium based browsers still smell of corporation. Been getting curious about Librewolf.

#s2,6,7 are finalists. In my opinion they all contribute to society.

#2 seems to have low ambition.

#6 is framed as being unethical by lowering the value of scenery business. I interpret this as the AI art problem. My opinion is people do what they are passionate about. If their job puts people out of work they were just doing the job for the money. Handcrafted bespoke furniture is no less valuable due to cheap flat packed IKEA furniture's existence.

#7 provided value to society but seems to have a zero sum mindset.

So, not knowing what the inheritance is makes deciding between them difficult.

Blindly choosing I'd say #2.

If it were a one of a kind piece of art, say van gogh's "starry night" I'd say #6. As it might provide some perspective to them.

If it were something truly priceless... I might choose #7. The zero sum perspective is hard to hold when you can't calculate what it would take to get back to zero.

 

I'm working on a simulation toy, and I want to model wind on my world/levels.

I'm currently using playrho (a box2d fork) with gravity set to 0 to model a top down view.

I assume the wind will be represented as a vector field. But I'm unsure what method to use to get this field.

Could someone point me in the right direction? Should I be looking at the navier-stokes equation? Does anybody know of any relevant tutorials?

Thanks in advance!

Lxqt - desktop environment

I3 - window manager.

Not super pleased with Lxqt but it's good enough.

The moon is a great launching point. And the water (ice) could be converted to fuel for rockets.

Basically with a permanent moon base we could send much bigger payloads, could refuel rockets before sending them out further into the solar system, could set up observatories that wouldn't be affected by the atmosphere, could collect solar energy and send it back to earth via microwaves. Not to mention all the geological science, spelunking, and moon golf we could be doing.

There's all kinds of things we could do.

Maybe get your niacin level checked? If you are low in niacin your body will use tryptophan to make it. And tryptophan is also used to make serotonin. So low niacin could mean low tryptophan which could mean low serotonin which could mean low melatonin. I'm not on APs, I spend time in nootropics communities. So definitely check with your doctor. Might also look in to n-acetyl-cysteine, however I'd put more stock in the niacin angle.

Because my laptop has no screen, thus I'm blind until the Nvidia driver loads.

From F to C

(F-32)*5/9=C

From C to F

(C*9/5)+32=F
