Just as we can create simulations using software, it's possible some other entity has created a simulation that contains us. A running process thinks the real world is constrained by CPU and memory and hard disks, but that doesn't

Isn't this like saying you're not going to wear a seatbelt, because driving is still unsafe and you don't want to get complacent? I get what you're saying, but I would want to utilize as many safety precautions as possi

It's meaningful because it provides a rational basis for comparing the risk of various power sources. It's the same as comparing deaths/mile to evaluate self-driving cars. People are overwhelmingly bad at risk assessment, wh

On the other hand, bus transit service gets cut if the passenger numbers aren't there to support it. Better to drive more people to transit and let Metro/Sound Transit catch up, rather than wait for them to improve service just in

This would only hold if the demographics stay the same. In 10 years time, half a generation of children will grow into their teens . If for some reason there are more/fewer biologically female teenagers, you might expect more/few

This was a great read. My favorite part was the section about rarely used language features, as I have had a similar experience. It makes you wonder if you're inexperienced or doing something wrong, when in fact those features may ju

I don't like it either, but it's probably unsurprising given that neither corporations nor users tend to upgrade to new Windows versions in a reliable fashion. I think using ad-based monetization was short-sighted and will damage

Hi, Cyclotron developer here. I think it's fair to say Cyclotron is a bit more open-ended in terms of what you can build, whereas Grafana dashboards are a bit more structured and tend to look more similar. While Cyclotron provides comm
