Why the universe might not allow advanced civilizations
In the case of warp drives, unobtanium seems to consist of negative energy..... It's kind of interesting how neatly the laws of the universe contrive to offer us theoretical (mostly blue sky mathematical) solutions to this and that, as long as we accept commitment to doing things that appear to be physically impossible. And if it is possible, then where are the older civilizations out there doing it? Cause we are not seeing a thing, and even some recent speculative dyson spheres/swarms turned out to be duds..

Why the universe might not allow advanced civilizations
Interesting.... If absolutely nobody is watching the video, how can anyone effectively refute it? This is a question that's actually interesting to me, because I've wondered for years about he apparent forum aversion to youtubers and youtube videos, and also social media of various types especially Discord and etc. Plus a general disdain for the press, especially on any technical subject. I've contemplated starting a thread on the subject multiple times but honestly, i've been too chicken s***. 😃

Why the universe might not allow advanced civilizations
One reason this resonated with me is that I've noticed more and more of the hard-science pundits I watch have been mentioning the increasing difficulty of learning more, as the energies required to reveal new particles/science is steadily withdrawing beyond even theoretical human power capabilities. At the same time certain particles are so elusive that its acknowledged we may have no chance at all at ever directly studying them. Meanwhile, parts of the cosmos are already forever beyond our sight, and even the true beginnings of the universe will eventually become completely obscured for truly late-arriving civilizations. The possibility of a hard ceiling on our (or anyones) capability to realistically explore beyond certain energy and size regimes does not seem an especially hard concept to swallow..... Example 1:

Are you using it correctly? The new options, based on how you select them, can make some airports not appear. Note the new Streamed and Marketplace options as well as the "conflicts" option. Also check out the new profile analysis option!

The last comment on the tread was before the latest update, and knowing people's habits, I thought it safe to assume that many people had never remembered to check for an update.

DLSS 5 video for MSFS 2024, the lighting is phenomenal
- New DLSS version 310.9.1.0
(Too bad MSFS does not use Ray Reconstruction.....) NVIDIA's DLSS version 310.9.1 (along with Streamline SDK 2.14.1) introduces support for the new DLSS Ray Reconstruction Transformer Model (Preset F). Key Features and Updates Preset F Ray Reconstruction: Replaces older hand-tuned denoisers and previous presets with a new transformer architecture model designed to improve image quality and pixel generation between sampled rays. V-Sync & Frame Limiters: Adds full compatibility with V-Sync and external frame rate limiters when using dynamic multi-frame generation modes, solving prior synchronization issues. Vulkan Low Latency: Implements support for the low-level VK_NV_low_latency2 extension for Vulkan-based graphics queue management. Bug Fixes: Provides general rendering stability improvements and fixes visual artifacts during dynamic resolution scaling.- My interesting thing of the day....

- A ride in the Tesla Cybercab
I meant specifically Tesla. Waymo has a more.... traditional, LIDAR based system (I think) where on the other hand I've heard lots of skepticism about Tesla's Camera-based systems. Either way, getting in one of those things with absolutely no ability to control it (steering wheel, etc) would feel to me like hopping into a fancy coffin. I would feel like I'm testing fate with every ride.- [4K] MSFS 2024 DLSS 5 A330

HiFlyer replied to HiFlyer's topic in Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)Gotta be careful, as in; updating to the beta on both the desktop and headset versions of the software and making sure your cable is up to full USB 3.0 specs and above. Then there is making sure you have switched to the proper virtual desktop codecs, made some other small changes and etc..... - New DLSS version 310.9.1.0
