#Christian leaders, and people in general, use to say that #Jesus Christ forgave all #sins and sinners.
That is not true.
There's a sin, and a kind of #sinners which/who Jesus did not forgive, and on the contrary cursed: the #hypocrites (whom at the time were called pharisees, and were erased by the Romans 70 years later).

In 2017, astronomers detected the gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars for the first time: a kilonova. Enormous amounts of heavy metals were detected in the light from the explosion, and astronomers continued to watch the expanding debris cloud. Researchers have created a new simulation that recreates the merger, second by second, as it happened, giving insights into all the high-energy mayhem and heavy elements formation in the catastrophic event.

The main message of this book is that this [bringing together quantum theory with general relativity] requires embracing the ideas that time is real and laws evolve.

When will AI become sentient?

(please boost)

is really a curse.

It keeps , no matter how much effort you put on it.

Then I decided to create an archive for "all the things I will never be able to do."

Well, guess what... That's more work.

So, I decided to quit and keep doing as usual - meaning, indefinitely some things *I should do*.

But I'm really about how you're dealing with this. 😅
