Just going to point out: russian culture doesnt use nazi in the same way we do; largely they dont view nazis as ontologically bad because of the bigotry or the antisemitism or the genocide of many peoples, but because they were an existential threat to russia or russian ethnicities. a lot of the associations westerners have about nazis are just not widespread in russia. this is why there are a lot of seemingly idiosyncratic phrasings in this kind of stuff.

this is an explicit design feature of federation: free association. this is one of the primary reasons it is in theory better than something centralized. this post is layers of wrong.

nothing you've said is worth responding to in a novel way, see earlier comment.

"when they're drunk at 8am", he didnt say "we"

also note the other quotes in the article that similarly single out Crow.

interferometry

see certain optical illusions in a way that other vision models cannot.

eh… but not in a way that is really like what humans see. which is the articles claim, but it makes a clasically cs approach to nuerology: zero effort to prove the quite substantial claim.

Word soup

that is most certainly not word soup. it's also an accurate statement, though uncharitable to the authors claims.

Also, the detail in description of their "quantum" inspiration (an effect not unique to quantum mechanics in fact, at that level of description) reads like they skimmed wikipedia's intro to xyz topic, whether or not the author understands the topics more deeply.

not exactly, the pressure in a cabin varies a lot and by altitude. it's not the same as the atmosphere outside the plane, put popping ears alone prove the pressure is not static at sea level.

only if you jump to using the spokes and wheel right from the start rather than starting from the hub

It's a great idea! The goal of education is to fire teachers and not teach students anything right?
