[@PedrovoriskAB]

NEIL, MAN, i read all ur books and really enjoy the way u teach us everything.. i really with that one day i can have at least 10 min chatting real life with u.. thank u for being who u are

Matt Ginsberg is no nonsense and I love it. Doesn't laugh at the interrupting jokes, and keeps on going with his statement.

[@scottm2553]

The jokes really get to me. This podcast could be really awesome if that one guy stopped making those terrible jokes.

Please an episode about the possibility of a decentralized civilization!

[@renatoigmed]

I think that unfortunately never. what is noticeable is that the population, regardless of which country they are from, asks for more and more state aid. both here in my country and out there in the USA the tug of war between liberals and socialists increasingly tries to socialism and this is due to popular support to elect the most leftist politicians hoping that the state will be as assistential as possible. I think humanity will end up in a communist dystopia.

Great episode. I love this guest. Such interesting topics. I love basketball and analytics. I remember his last episode. Where he enlightening me that How many mins a player plays earlier in the season is such a huge predictor of success later, hence all the "load management" going on over past couple years but after taking this info into account I feel it's definitely been a big factor in 18,000$ of sports bet winnings of mine in the last month

If I remember it right, Jordan once dunked from behind the 3-pt line and just almost from the half-court line. I think the opponents were called the Monstars.

[@flashcloud666]

Well, in Chuck's defense, that isn't something from movies. Plenty of golden era science fiction authors described what Chuck said in their works. Modern day movies just adapted their ideas to the silver screen.

I want to know how intelligent people deal with bullies. I have been working on a project involving Torah and physics in which we show the agreement between the two. The goal is to get people into a more sophisticated mindset when relating to G-d and the universe. And away from childlike thinking. I have been called “weird” “not normal” “crazy” or my favorite “who do you think you are? Albert Einstein?!?” People are exceedingly cruel. And I feel more and more isolated. You speak of moons being tidally locked...I think peoples minds are also tidally locked.

I would posit, at least for basketball, that a better motivation variable is how teams played in the game directly following an upset or a close loss, or in the first rematch between the same two teams following the upset or close loss. I don't think seeing if they lost a finals game in a previous year is going to yield better indicators of success, especially at the collegiate level since rosters change very often.

[@hotsauce7709]

Always wanted to ask: every Mars movie and many science shows show dust storms as fairly violent events. But with only 5% of our atmosphere would those storms have any real clout? I'd think the microfine dust would be a nightmare for our probs and rovers but so far they've managed. I guess we've handled that well enough. But I'm a bit skeptical about storms in that thin of an atmosphere really blowing Matt Daemon around so easily in the movie "Martian."

[@chriskyng2509]

"BUT why would we do that?" Because we can Neil. The most obvious answer as to why humans do ANYTHING EVER. Simply because we wanted the option.

47:24 - Who has a trillion neurons??? Humans only have about 86 billion neurons. And Fugaku has over 8 million cores, not just "thousands".

[@mlginsberg]

On the neurons, you're absolutely right and I apologize for the mistake. On Fugaku, I wouldn't take that view. The cores are split into ~160K "individual" machines, which are certainly interconnected but don't share memory.

[@jonathanryals9934]

But on Mars, if you tried to run your feet would slip because your mass still takes the same force to move side-to-side but you have less friction. Your ability to power jump from standing would be mostly vertical. In order to get speed to jump from 3 point line you would have to start from way back and slowly accelerate.

[@muthuk]

Awesome!

[@MrMuppet1970]

This is off topic but, do gravitational waves and visable light act different as space expands?

But can you run just as fast if you are too light? In order to have enough speed to jump far enough to dunk

Basketball on Mars would be near impossible... Let me explain. IF you where from earth you would be REALLY STRONG on mars because of the 40%. So when you tried to shoot the ball, you would have to use 40% power, basically being really GENTAL. The arc to the rim would be the same as on earth but the power you put in the shot would be really light. Meanwhile the defender can jump easily 2x as high as earth. so almost every jump shot would be HARD BLOCKED because the defenders would be able to jump higher. lol

[@hunternewberry5860]

Why shoot? just dunk from the 3 point line every time lol
