Engineer here, I always just use pi and a “safety factor” multiplier. Extra material is expensive, and I want the cheapest part (like a screw) to fail first. We don’t just oversimplify pi because half the time it’ll make your design weaker.
(If I just got whooshed I apologize)
I want to believe you’re right. But everything else so far has just been a gradually applied multiplier on human labor, not a full replacement. Instead of a sudden tipping point, we’d watch each other become destitute one by one, perpetually looking out for only ourselves.

I think there’s still hope for them. In the last 20 years China and Russia have become a lot more like us, too. There are decades when nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen.
How much time is between 1999 and Second Renaissance Part 1?
Q1 Reaper is still smarter than modern LLMs
Question for the trans folk here: which time period was harder for you? Hostile ignorance or hostile attention?
Kobayashi Maru was supposed to be unwinnable too!
Small farmers are basically gone. Main Street is abandoned. They don’t own the land they live on either. Their way of life is dying. They’ve got plenty of real stuff to rage about - the control is telling them it’s because of immigrants and not because of the rich.
Nice try, physicists.
