These are my favorite kind of talks. The kind of things that have that child like joy of discovering what you consider the simplest things about the world. The excellent presentation style very much helps. A great youtube channel for things

I had not thought about that. That is a reasonable collusion about a non intuitive feedback loop.

Unfortunately in many spaces, we have become reactive, not proactive. I have long suspected that in a few hundred years they will look back on us as idiots in the same way many do about the astrologer blood letting types.

The real issue is that you need to keep the excess carbon out of the cycle. It is said that if we could grow trees, cut them down a bury them - that could work. But who is going to fund this. Currently logging and using wood is merely slowi

Also, I am endlessly fascinated by all the ways we have figured out Geo-engineering problems/externalizes. If the only metric we are focusing on is temperature, we can potentially cause a whole lot of other issues. Reduce incoming ligh

That sounds much better than the dribble I was spouting. Thanks!

Look at the UI on that thing! Right before we started to flatten all UI design into bland shapes!

I'm not sure it is a typo. I have been calling it 'the clown' or 'the clod' for years. So I suspect others have been too.

The last generation of Windows Phone had convergence that provided a version of this. Allowed you to run UWP apps on a Windows desktop. But like many things in the Windows phone universe, it was simultaneously 10 years ahead and 10 years be

With a lot of new chemistry the risk of fire is greatly reduced. It seems to be an issue mostly with lithium based systems. Things like Iron or sodium based are much safer, energy density is also lower because of this but it is a reasonable

Narrow boundary analysis can be useful but problematic. The additional components is a great example. Remember a large part of your electrical bill is paying for the grid, not just the energy it transports.

This is not shade on the original comment. But I do find it funny when economists that extrapolate out to infinity. Comely divorced from the real world materials and ecology.

This is a controversial hypothesis that is merely from a idiot, being myself. I don't truly believe this but it something I have throught about. Energy costs are THE driving force of prices. The cost of materials is essentially the ene

Alan watts once gave a book of Zen koans to a friend in hospital. Friend read it and said "I didnt understand a word of it but it was very enjoyable". That is one way of doing it.

A lot of positive change can from works of philosophy. Thats things that just knock your world view around for a brief moment in a almost confused-joyous-understanding. Make question your intuitions for a little bit.

Well that explains in part his knowledge of web rending tech. Very cool.

It is astounding just how much gets done via nostalgia, especially in the gaming space. Just look at the emulation scene to see the best of this.

Funnily enough the Permacomputing folks call out the use of Freedos as a form of Bedrock platform. https://permacomputing.net/bedrock_platform/ That freedos will run on almost any x86 PC built in the last 43 years it a

Being Sony. Unfortunately, the Sony of the 1960-2000's seems to long gone now. Apart from Playstation and their headphones, they just don't have the mind share or innovative spark any more. And even Playstation is starting to a lo

While that seems to be a bit of a dim characterization of the place, who isn't trying to do that? Seems like we are in the last decade or two of trying an accounting trick possible to ignore the grim reality of growth based economics.

The question is if there is a cumulative effect from the smaller shock waves or if there is a threshold that needs to be exceeded to cause issues.

I would say that of almost all predicaments of the world. We like to reduce our problems down to single factors but they are almost always a marbled symphony of good & bad, black & white, up & down. While we cannot find a respon

For all the Aussies/Kiwis. Should this mean Vegemite and Mightymite are good against this?

Absolutely. Nowadays it feels like the best development tools for Linux is the Win32 tool chain. No need for native ports if proton can be the glue between the systems.

Photoshop is the Sisyphus of software compatibility on Wine. Can play the latest UE5 based game via Proton, still struggles with Photoshop. The funny state of Linux-Windows compatibility. I get it, not undermining game development - it is a
