The author of Project Hail Mary is openly agnostic (also known as the term used by atheist in the US that are too afraid to say they are atheist due to reprisal).

Yes, Hail Mary is named after the pass, that's about as far as it goes. It's a low probability play you make in desperation. The name Grace? If you take the time to read the book you'll see it's mentioned and ridiculed as stupid.

Furthermore, the movie discuss the existence of at least 3 different alien species, of which one is intelligent. How is that a Christian theme exactly? Also the "savior" plot, the dude got drugged and forcefully sedated against his will to be put on the ship, he's an unwilling actor. As far as I know, in the stories Jesus was not unwilling.

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that.

I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

@nikzh Claiming you called the police on someone that barely crafted a transaction that was accepted by your network is a dipshit move at best.

@nikzh @PeterRizun This, Mars will never lead the chain with a 10-minute block time. Mars block time will appear as 3+10+3 minutes average to Earth based majority unless they find more than 1 block in a row, in which case the overall average will be 10*n+6, which will always be longer than 10.

The actual BSV hashrate is about 250ph/s, I literally have single farm pods with more hashrate than that in a single building, it's pathetic. Special mentions to eCash (Amaury's failed fork of BCH) with even less hashrate at 93ph/s. I have single rows inside said pods with more hashrate than that.

I don't necessarily disagree, I just dislike people giving misguided opinions after they played 1/3rd of the game, which 78% is. Get Pantheon 5 and your opinion will be relevant. That's what people been bitching about regarding gaming journalism since forever.

It's pretty bad since Silksong release date has been dropped with a ton of YT gamers just now deciding to play HK because HKSS will drop soon. 6 years wasn't enough time for them to figure a time to play but now we most bow down to opinion of the game as if it was the third coming of the Christ. Just saw a video today of a dude that confidently said "he finished the game" at 98%, that couldn't be arsed to google if the DLCs were free or not, or that 112% is the actual 100%.

After extensive market and cohort analysis, I have determined there's a large market demand for an H100 speed GPU, with more memory, but for like 1/10th the cost.

Who is working on this? Could be huge.

@ndgo1370 Not investing about 10x more in CAPEX per watt in a very speculative market that will most likely collapse like the dot com bubble.

In reality I'd be there if I was a hyperscaler...

You aren't filtering anything if you aren't finding blocks. Even if you are finding blocks, someone else can just mine it regardless. That argument is so moot. The only person who have any ability to filter anything are bitcoin core devs manipulating the standardness layer.

Wow, America is now literally China with government owned entities. That's when we don't buy Intel anymore.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump announced the United States will be taking a 10% stake in chipmaker Intel, as part of a deal negotiated by Trump and Lutnick

WOW!

When asked why no other President did this, Trump said "because we were run by STUPID PEOPLE!" 🤣

@justh0dl Most of everything after is technology improvements, not new power. Pretty sure we are down in power consumption since the China mining ban. Also you had lost of mining farms in China running much older stuff on almost free power (much older than S9s).
