My apologies. I misunderstood your comment in my first reply to this thread. I now see you're saying biology is vastly more complex and difficult than mechanical engineering. I misinterpreted that before. I agree. Mechanical engineerin

It could be that democracy is not the best long-term sustainable form of government. If the free pursuit of happiness leads to environmental collapse, maybe it's the problem. I hope that isn't the case and we can find some way to

...maybe. If there are any actual consequences if that software's invariants are violated you're better off using an external sandboxing mechanism. There are many excellent quality, battle tested options to choose from that you ca

They're also way more robust distributed systems. Imagine a compute substrate that was continuously mutating, dying, regenerating, cancering, being polluted by various environmental and self-generated contaminants (e.g. alcohol, adrena

A more relevant question is why does some knuckle dragging street pig have access to surveillance tech? This should be regulated exactly the same as wiretapping--specific reasons, specific cases, specific authorization, etc. It should not h

I developed tinnitus in my right ear about 5 years ago. I remember exactly when it started. I was welding up a tailpipe repair on my car, and in the next bay over my brother was running the lawnmower to adjust the carbs. The exhaust was bas

Hemp ropes are quite strong, they've proven themselves for thousands of years in marine applications. You definitely need more thickness to achieve the same breaking strength as dyneema or steel cable but at slower speeds and higher pr

I don't believe there's anything physically preventing the invention of AI. But nobody has done it. Until someone does it, it's some far off future thing. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, et al. have not done it yet. T

It would be interesting to scale this design up. Not necessarily in terms of velocity--supersonic velocity for a large trebuchet munition isn't necessarily desirable. What I mean specifically is scaling up the multi-revolution arm and

It is the same business model, just at a grander scale. There is no sustainable growth business underneath it, only vibes and hype, and the "future promise" of some miraculous breakthrough. It's becoming clearer by the minute

There are species of wood that do very well buried. Black locust is known to last 100yr buried. I wonder if you could scale up the effect using a larger grid of black locust 2x8s [edit] or even smaller dimension mill scrap.

I think what's interesting here is that they've shipped the product despite these glaring security flaws. I've noticed that in my own professional life, at some point after the pandemic people stopped caring about security as
