Exactly. Omnipotence does not actually include the ability to do impossible things, contrary to popular definitions. It means to have unlimited power, which could be used to do anything that’s possible to do.

Like, imagine if you had access to infinite electricity. You could do godlike things with that, even create black holes. But you still couldn’t create paradoxes.

The thought of that is pretty hostile to religious definitions of God, however.

In fact, we should actively try to make it hostile to advertisements.

I think the goals and scale of these efforts aren’t comparable. Best to compare apples to apples.

Yeah the lidar scan was done for other reasons, but this researcher was specifically looking for lidar data to scour through.

You’re right though, this is a much catchier headline.

You are 100% correct! Honestly my response wasn’t for him, per se. It was for Americans who might be duped by reading his comment.

And yet, despite your act of protest, human society continues - because you are not the center of the universe. The trolley problem is not hypothetical this election. Will you support less death or more death?

That’s a pretty meaningful number. Hopefully they’re relatively ineffective.

Wow I found it totally on accident while processing lidar images with my software specifically designed to detect hidden cities in lidar images!

Surprising maybe. Accidental? Ehhhh

That’s certainly true, though arguably Starship development is a prerequisite to the lunar lander, otherwise it could never leave the ground.

It’s really hard to understand why NASA picked Starship over a smaller, more traditional lander.
