yep, came here to say similar

Yes that is a great of example of reading something on the internet and believing it completely?
You just linked me to a Stackoverflow post about a theory, which turns out to just be completely wrong, while managing to include a few valid facts.
Was a fun exercise, but please don't get your science this way.

I don't know much about physics, but I always wondered if gravity is like a shadow.
Appearently shadows can move faster than light, breaking with the rest of physic knowledge, but when you look into the details, they adhere the laws of physics no problem.
Maybe, gravity is like that, not really a physical force, but the shadow of physical forces.
Sorry, "apparently" shadows do not move faster than light.
Since they are... well... defined by light...
I am curious though, as to where you got such a strong notion that shadows can move faster than light...
Well they should factor in strategic loss by attrition. If you shoot a $1 million dollar missile at every $100 dollar drone, that’s a good way to lose a war.
Not sure about mid ranking officers, but captains who are in charge of ships think about such things.
From my perspective of American warfare - shooting a $1 million dollar missile at every $100 drone is how they keep the war going :)

It is surely better to construct them here, where we have all our tools, and if really necessary pump them out here. There just isn't an advantage to doing it in space. You end up paying more to create a lower-quality sphere.
And what weighs more - the air that got trapped in the sphere when we made it, or the machine we sent up to space to assemble a sphere there?
Seems quite short sighted to assume space manufacturing processes would not improve - or we would not want to improve them.
Cold weld it in space, it's not that difficult with some engineering.
Space X?

But if we know what a car ought to look like in 3D, can't we take the one photo we have from one direction and just fill in the blanks with that a priori 3D knowledge?
Similar to how GPT-3 can be applied not only to create Text, but also fill in missing pieces of Images (ie. complete the missing half of a face).
Would the logical next step, use GPT-3 to create a 3D world? :)

Unless you can strip the DRM, you're not buying.
It's actually quite easy to strip the DRM on Audible using ffmpeg - which I do to keep an archive of all my purchases.
There's a script on github to get the encryption key for your account by letting it sign in for you.
Then from there it's easy to get ffmpeg to turn the DRM aac to a mp3
