The question doesn’t even make sense. You have to redefine it to “purpose” or some other word to even get started. The only literal interpretation is “what does ‘life’ mean?”, which is just something like “a metabolic system capable of Darwinian evolution”.

Oruxmaps is pretty good too.

Fractal universe theories have been proposed. I don’t know many details myself, but just thought it was an example of how you can still have theoretically infinite detail within a finite system.

Fractals are infinite

I’m not sure this is going to help your mental state, but the word is “worst”. A is worse than B, but C is the worst of all.

Ferrock is an interesting new development. Stronger than concrete and absorbs CO2 when curing.

OruxMaps is an awesome alternative to Google maps. It does require some configuration to get Google imagery working since they were required to remove it, but there’s also a huge variety of other online sources it can use (wmts etc), plus off-line maps, overlays. You can use your own maps from qgis or other gis software, and there’s multiple navigation options. Tracks, routes, way points, and so much more.

Yeah, I’m not sure how they get that, but maybe, if you’re wanting to run a model in-house, as many people would prefer, you can then run much more capable models on consumer grade hardware and make savings there compared to requiring the more expensive kit. Many would already have decent hardware, and this extends what they can run before needing to fork out for new hardware.

I know, I’m guessing.

I expect so, but as we start to get more agents capable of doing jobs without the hand holding, there are some jobs where time isn’t as important as ability. You could potentially run a very powerful model on a GPU with 24GB of memory.

The human brain is a fickle thing. Most people experience optical illusions in the same way as each other. There’s just certain patterns that tend to trick our brains. The same problems occur with memories. Certain patterns of memories are misremembered in similar ways between different people. Nothing as mysterious as some people think.
