Yes, I do find it a little funny how the developer community got it all wrong and the non technical people who were thinking AI is going to change everything in 2023 were the right ones. Maybe they know more than developers think.

Western women are already only producing ~1.5 kids (many with none!), you could send 50% of young women to die in war, then have the other half have a fertility rate of 6, like what their great great grandmothers had, and we would be far fa

China built out their high speed rail for $300B over about the same period. Artemis is 1/3rd the cost of that. Theres lots of impressive engineering to do thats also cool and useful to ordinary people. Going to the moon is just vanity.

Assume the avg. home will last 50 years. Limit construction on new suburban developments, problem solved in 50+ years. It would be unpopular , but you claimed it wouldn't be possible , very different. The latter is denying agency in

Its always interesting how complex electronics uses little energy. But its the simple stuff like heating water or turning a motors that use magnitudes more. Physically, it makes sense, but its sort of counter intuitive in terms of utility.

Its easy to build when your goal is just to build the thing. But theres so much code and regulation crap (like ADA). I know someone building a small residential home, they have literally 1000s of pages of documents to be submitted for every

maybe there just isn't a solution? people don't ask for a hammer that magically assembles every piece of furniture. sometimes the user of the tool needs skills to use it. UI/UX only takes you so far.

i did some casual testing before of a png vs a compressed texture and its like 20x faster, so yes a big difference. most of the speedup is from not needing to calculate mipmaps since they are already precalculated.
