Traditionally, invasive species are a problem because they're successful...

So, basically their post-soviet tech is all unfinished Soviet designs the soviets could never get to work, with a few western chips thrown in to do the math and control they could never manage.

I would be absolutely terrified of it.

If I lived in Russia.

Thing could blow up and throw radioactive material everywhere.

No, he covers for and services Russian plants.

Distinction without a distance, but still.

I'm guessing you've seen as many lorentz attractor simulations as I have, what always happens is something like tidal effects or angular momentum means 90% slow down while a few particles get shot out of hell at ludicrous speed.

The effect is similar to drag, and is basically how we get entropy even without em effects.

Then it should also coelescce, particularly since it doesn't have the em force to keep it repelled, the universe should be dominated by massive dark matter black holes.

Yes, there's math that explains part of the distribution, but also there is 0 force opposing any collapse we'd have a lot more neutron stars and other degenerate matter catalyzed by dark matter.

We have hypotheses like this when our observations don't make sense and we need to explain them, it's definitely a possibility but we still have room to understand the large scale physics at play.

It's basically "I mean, it's still not Chromium".

But that threshold just keeps getting lower :/

Yes, it would just be surprising because, gravity should make them not be evenly distributed.

The whole thing with dark matter is that it's this magic stuff that causes gravity but isn't affected by it, which... is not how gravity normally works.

Though there is still room for it, we just need a better framework other than "I added 3 and 5 and got 12, so obviously I must mean to add 3 and 5 and 4 too".

Firefox is in this nasty 'meh, good enough' place where you have all your plug-ins, it becomes a laggy memory hog as time goes by, but it's still 'meh, good enough' that you won't change since everything else is garbage chromium.

I miss old-school konqueror, but I'm probably the only one.

The main way you'd see that kind of microlensing is if they aggregated.

But given the way gravity works, they should aggregate, otherwise why call them black holes?

Wish it said the tdp, amd really pinned it low lately.

Yes, but by very little.

You're saving on GPU processing, but that's unlikely to be that much for browsing.
