The best we can hope for is that there is some sort of SC properties that can be investigated further even if this is not the holy grail moment many wanted it to be.

That was probably the one time the market was being truthful before it all got pumped up again. Nothing to see here, move along!

I have been very cautious on any analysis on LK99 - especially my own. I have mentioned to many people that any potential application of this stuff comes with an 'if it is real'. That IF is doing a lot of heavy lifting and it has

Yep, working on what you love can make you do things way beyond reason. It didn't matter that you are effectively working for half of minimum wage - at least you were doing that thing of passion... until absolute total burn out. That w

Oh yeah I had really bad skin flaking, they would orescibe all kinds of hormone or steroid based creams that would next to nothing. One search on Reddit and many people just said to use petrolium gel. Bam fixed it up in two days! Costs me a

OpenSPARC/POWER is the reason why I am not too excited about RiscV. We have had open GPL designs for close to 20 years and they just sort of went nowhere. RiscV seems to be something neat for those that design processors or work with t

Definitely the latter. Mine will come from arguing from a friend that went on full carnivore diet thanks to that paragon of dietary advice Jordan Peterson... the conversations are VERY disagreeable.

Jerry Pournelle was black listed for life from Apple events because he called the original Mac 'a toy' because it didn't have enough RAM to do serious work. There was that very brief period in the late 90's where Job&#x2

It is in the book 'Dark Age America' by John Michael Greer, he does make mention of this that any one reading that book and is still fairly young, there will be a day when they have their last bit of seafood. That is one of those

The single biggest issue with lab meat is the lack of an immune system. Once we crack that then there is a real chance of this stuff working out. That said until then, I will just avoid all meats. If I have those cravings, the alternatives

Pretty much. While I am but one of 8 billion people, all animal products have been off the table for a long time now. Part adaption to the future, part protection of what we have today, part ethics.

There is a great podcast series called 'The Great Simplification' by Nate Hagens. It is basically just a series of interviews with people about the predicaments of our times. Nate has been working on this theory of 'the great

This is a point Daniel Schmachtenberger has argued. We worry about rouge AI's and the paper clip optimizer problem and yet that is essentially the path our current economic system operates on.

You know how a lot of people see those in the past as being ignorant and we wonder how they could not see the silly things they did... the older I get, the more that is how I see nowadays. Folks will look back on us in decades/centurie

It is easy to look rich when you are maximizing the credit cards. It is easy to pull people out of poverty when short term thinking can overshoot beyond long term carrying capacity.

Here in Australia we regularly talk about the tyranny of distance that impacts us. In Covid, it turned into the world largest moat. With the rise of ecological blow back, resource scarcity/hoarding, and seeing the seeds of authoritaria

So there is this idea that we can reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere by using iron seeding into the ocean causing a massive amount of phytoplankton production. But would the side effect of this be a drop in ocean oxygen levels?

If a website uses this, I won't use that website. Simple as that. Being near "full Stallman" I use one of the few FSF approved Linux Distros (Trisquel), there is no way this will ever be implemented in that system.

My solution is a little more analog. If the number isn't in my phone, I don't answer it. If you don't leave a message, I will never follow it up.

I doubt there would ever be parity but it could be good enough. Have to hand it Apple OS team, they know how to squeeze a lot out of there hardware. A while back I was trying to get an old G5 running and looking at the various OS options, m

Nice, I love it! That said, I live in Melbourne, Australia, so yeah they are considered a local group - information travels fast here to support them. That said, it feels like they perform more in the US than here!

They way I have described this is like the Wright brothers have just demonstrated the first power flight, and we are already planning the schedule for the A330's from LA to London. It is exciting stuff but there is a very long way to g

To be fair, this is a laboratory sample to test the materials not a means of mass manufacturing. Same could of been said of Carbon nano tubes back in the mid 90's. Yes, it could be a very long path to mass manufacturing, if it ever hap

That is pretty cool, I mean, I do get the excitement of the technology of things like AI - I fall more in line with the philosophers or "but what does it really all mean". I'm not sure if what I do is useful at all other than

There was a line from the movie 'Ted', that film about a child's stuffed bear coming to life. It was something along the lines of "No matter how special and amazing something is, eventually people get bored of it and mov

I would say I am in both worlds. Not too excited about a lot developments in computer tech, but mostly because there is a lot of hype on technology that tends be impressive BUT misses the mark on the bold claims. But with this LK99 stuff,
