I encourage everyone I discuss healthspan with to read the Blueprint protocol docs from Bryan Johnson (founder of Braintree/Venmo)[0]. He hired a team of specialists to make him as healthy as possible - it is his full time job to be a

Hmm, I was thinking small flywheel / gyro units in the plane fuselage itself similar to active roll damping in boats. I guess active control surfaces make more sense for airplanes, without knowing much about how turbulence affects felt

I think you mean "finding someone who will pay you for your gold". WROL means people will just be looting your corpse.

I really see the potential here (if it is not already happening) for fine-tuned LLMs to start generating bespoke defence and economic policies. Think about the amount of data you could feed a system about orthodox management strategies, cur

Currently we have ceased all work due to lack of funds - there are multiple reasons behind this, but we are still bullish on the tech. Our university partners may develop it further, or I may come back to it in a few years when my situatio

I very recently tried and failed to commercialise a novel bioreactor system for microalgae [0]. You are correct that surface area is an important factor in considering algal growth characteristics. In my opinion, microalgae production for b

Yeah, and if you put one in some kind of "spy balloon" you could also use it to map secret underground structures that may or may not exist in certain parts of the US ;)

> has anyone tried blasting them with sound Everything in the ocean is getting blasted by our human sound. Shipping, sonar, drilling - none of this ever stops and I would not be surprised if the Orcas have had enough.

I can share further details by email, but the gist is we enable much faster gas exchange for microalgae cells compared to existing systems, inside a unique reactor design that gives us some other benefits for common cultivation processes.

Mitigation strategies are varied, you basically cannot guarantee there will not be any contamination if you are doing any kind of scale. We are looking at polycultures/consortiums (robust ecosystems inside one reactor), various filtrat

My startup is working on novel microalgae photobioreactors - we are raising an angel/pre-seed round right now. Our system is far more energy and space efficient compared to PBRs and raceways - we do this via a proprietary mechanism tha

You can sink it in the ocean - beneath around 500m it just gets compressed and sinks to the bottom. So that would be "permanent" sequestration. The other option is to make it into "biochar" which is basically anaerobical

> Is or could photosynthesis be more efficient in water because of the higher amount of CO2? Could be - the limiting factor after CO2 access is sunlight. Microalgae have the tendency to self-shade which limits growth. Again, photosynthes

Seawater <> CO2 reactions are quite complex, because various compounds form from dissolved gaseous CO2 in the water and the molecules interact in ways that are difficult to quantify (I am not a chemist). My layperson understanding is

Luckily space is already clean, the trick will be converting current production processes to work in microgravity - process heat offtake without convection etc. LEO or higher orbit based manufacturing will probably occur before 2050, once t
