Interstellar travel is possible after all

This graph gives the impression that the total installation number has been multipliés x4 or X5 while it is not the case when looking at the raw numbers.

Any variation can look impressive if you zoom enough, that’s why you need a baseline at 0. This way you see thé entire scale of the phenomenon

Good to see not everything is going through enshitification. Thanks Proton!

Yeah we won’t be needing proper raytracing with this kind of tech it’s mind blowing

The quality is really superior to what was shown with Lumiere. Even if this is cherry picking it seems miles above the competiton

Even though our knowledge of physics is incomplete, a VM running a faster simulation of its container would be a paradox. You could stack successive layers of reality that would go faster and faster reaching eventually Infinite processing speed, allowing the computer from the root layer to perform an Infinite amount of computation in a finite time.

You may say that this could be possible as our understanding of physics is lacking. And that’s fine! But I think this paradox shows that the VM can only run slower than reality

There are indeed ways you could make it work, but then you add more hypothesis and thus the cost of the simulation hypothesis increases.

Optimizations are indeed necessary, but just like the player is something special in a game, the observer would need to have a special status in the universe. I don’t like this idea because the history of science always moved in the direction of making us the observers less and less special.

Moreover if life spreads in the universe, the simulation would encounter a scaling issue with an exponential growth of the numbers of observers.

I agree with you that in the end we just don’t know, it’s fun to push ideas to their limits!

There is a cieling though. A computer made of matter of one universe cannot simulate an entire universe at the same speed. It’s like installing a VM on a computer: the VM is always slower. Each layer would then become exponentially slower with a limit of 0 speed.

Having said that, combined with the fact that our Universe is 13B years old, it would make the age of our root universe exponentially larger than 13B years.

It could maybe feasible if we live in the first layers, but beyond that our root universe would have died from Heat death long ago.

Ubuntu 24.04!

Pitivi is really nice
