От Кисычева всегда тепло:

в далёком космосе холодном
летают грустные тела
им тоже хочется немного
тепла

Жизнь -- это Вселенная, развивающая память. Lee Cronin на подкасте у Lex Fridman четыре недели назад (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZecQ64l-gKM&t=1740s). Очень много новых идей, ракурсов, подходов, разумности и иронии.
О сложности, о стремлении к сложности как необходимости итд. итд.
Но интеллект может прийти раньше жизни (как Солярис, например).
Я не занимаюсь исследованием происхождения жизни, я занимаюсь поиском искусственной жизни.
Мы не единственная форма жизни во Вселенной (наконец-то! спасибо!)
Итд.

An Architect on how World War 2 improved Warsaw.

What was Warsaw like before World War 2?
Warsaw was a disaster in the eyes of modernist urban planners: with a population of almost 1.5 million, it had a population density of 15,000-20,000 people per square kilometre in the central part of the city and 10,000 people per square kilometre on average, three times higher than now. It had lots of low-quality housing and was chaotically developed. Nobody thought of it in terms of prestige or comfort. There was no electricity, gas, running water, or plumbing. There were no public spaces, national museums, galleries, and buildings to accommodate state authorities. There was much less greenery, with trees sparsely planted in the city’s parks. The streets were hard to navigate, with almost no way to cross the city from West to East or from North to South smoothly.

How would you describe Warsaw after World War 2?
A sea of ruins. (моя матушка говорила мне о послевоенной Варшаве именно такими словами).

I know that BOS used Canaletto’s 18th-century paintings as a reference for reconstruction. Why not the 20th-century photographs?
Canaletto worked in the end-18th century during the reign of the last Polish king. Warsaw was the capital of the country at that time. Logically, the city’s appearance at the time was seen as original.
