Go to the bottom of this page. He has emails between him and actual professors apparently?

Yeah I was reading it
If its skitzophrenia, usually thats how it works
Canadian schools break it in two
usually
you do a test like hte ones I am doing in June
then you do basically a thesis presentation/defense
They do at Queens too
Uwaterloo maybe just calls them the same thing
or just the school of CS does

I assume they know "oh this might actually happen at some point somewhere and we do not want to pay money"
I mean, it's what Pika said
but also that we're finally at the point where the value of electronics in the average home probably exceeds any sort of reasonable value to insure
When your graphics card is like 10k or whatever they are now
yeah I would not want to insure that either as an insurance company
the odds are also essentially 100% that there will be a solar flare that hits us and fucks up everything in the next 100-200 years
God willing, it'll hit India
You say that spooky, but actually in preperation 50 years from now the entire earlh will be put in a faraday cage or something idk
and we will be saved
Bill Gate's sun blocker doesn't seem so dumb now
futurama global warming solution of pushing the earth farther away from the sun but actually we just do it to stratefically dodge the solar flare
wherever the next solar flare hits, will be interesting
if we assume a worst case scenario for the power grid and all electronics, idk how you really come back from that
Maybe it will force the world to stop running on tech that is 50 years old
and actually update things
I'm by no means a grid expert, but the actual architecture of most power grids is fine, everyone just cuts corners to save cost
the issue with power, telecom, networking, etc
is cascading failures and feedback loops
where when something goes down, bringing it up requires more conformity than the overall system allows
You'd think that, but also if it is far enough away, maybe not
there's no real countermeasure imo
if its 50 years from now, the 60 year old guy at the tops not gonna care
the loss of stored data is the one that I think is the most damning
Spooky hear me out
DNA-based storage is the solution technically
reverse solar flare, we make a simulated solar flare and shoot it back
to cancel the incoming one
Alternative, hypermagnets
nah Pika, even simpler
dark energy
problem solved
Energy is the issue (thats whats coming at us)
dark matter wall
Spooky I think you could say enough technical terms to get Trump to sign off on enclosing the earth in a dark matter box
just blow up the sun pre-emptively
Big rocket, put all data storage on it
they'd need to be the size of the Chernobyl sarcophagus
launch into space
bring back after the flare
Sun math hard
I mean, it's not really an issue, it's an inevitability sure
but so are a lot of things
I think current understanding and studying the largest known hits, it still is fairly localized, it's not a global thing
in terms of the actual electromagnetic destruction piece
it would be a global disruption, major crisis ofc
We would have to launch a rescue mission to save our hotel Robot too
gotta keep that in the calculus
YES!
