I went back to university to study environmental science. After that, years later, I ended up starting a company designing closed loop food production systems, (well, semi-closed). I designed and built it with friends, investors and colleag

I get it. A lot of people on HN seem to think every family has a tech nerd in it to do this. I’d rather we had spa consume solution for it. But I suspect we’ll never get there.

So how do I make my mom do this? /s Seriously, even I would have to spend a day or two to figure this out. We need something simple for 99.99% of people to use.

It may be possible to argue that current work in AI leads to some definition of intelligence, which apparently often is equaled to consciousness by some. My take it is just unaware intelligence like in Peter Watts’ book Blindsight. A terrif

Conscription in Sweden is 9-12 months, depending on role. In 2023 it was 6000 men and women. Much fewer than when I did my service in the 80s, about 35 000/year then. The length is similar though. The European defense in general hasn’t

Are we turning into old farts with our old games? I play a 25 year old game on a cloned server (EverQuest clone, 1999 MMO). And a newer first person shooter, but free to play. I was looking forward to a new Homeworld. Shame.
