The problem is imo non openness and (too) quick development of cloud services. Cloud iaas is genius and a necessary step to increase efficiency. But imagine a open source standard for these services, instead of bigquery, lightsail bla bla,

have you factored in the cost of human labor in your judgement? I mean swiss-level salaries. Thats 4k+ usd / month for retail workers. Thats what makes autonomous infrastructure cheaper in the long run than having anyone loading anythi

then again further cooling 20 °C in a vacuum and complete darkness might also be feasible

Interesting point, what would explain it is non linearity. If you get 20% efficiency at 5 but 35% at 7km depth it might still be worth it. Would still have to outperform exponential drill cost with depth

Approaches aiming at increasing ocean bio activity, thus carbon capture by providing "ocean desert zones" with nutrients by whirling up ocean floor in those regions seems interesting for that purpose. Still a huge inception into t

I dont think theres a magic way, just optimizing regular stimuli of intermediate (not too hard) stresses is my best guess (similar to any exercising) start doing shorter routes more frequently, then increase both parameters slowly, thats ho

Getting to orbit isnt the hard part having reliable engines (tested) and rocket (also tested), its returning in a state allowing for rapid reusability / not already having a RUD on deorbiting. I would be extremely surprised if any heat

It takes months to years for bones and non muscle tissue to adapt to new stresses. Took me 1 year of regular runs to adapt to non heel strikes, but it happens eventually.

amount of people is irrelevant. Amount of people wanting to live US standard is the problem. Order new shitty clothes 3x a week and other consumption bs? Costs 300x of an average person in the developping world

Thats totally ungraspable for human brains, mind blowing! Thats 10^23 kilometers, the same order of magnitude as the avogardo constant, means e.g. 14 gramms of carbon correspond to about 6.22 * 10^23 atoms of carbon, its the same magnitude

Because since we dont understand consciousness, we cannot assume qm to be irrelevant for it, being the basis of the universe, which were just a part of?

Pigs are extremely close to humans genetically and physiologically, i mean look at those guys: omnivores, no fur (also in some wild races), smart af, this is often overlooked.

Would you get a building permit for electric heaters the size of factories heating the environment anywhere in the world (apart from outlaw places and places where religion > public interests)? I cant think of such a place somehow...

While your statement is true, the universe is so big, that exponential growth at our (increasing) rate is still possible for many, many millenia (assuming no apocalypse scenario). Apart from that, money is inflationary by design.

I am asking myself sometimes to what extend CS-based work increases autism-typical behaviour, simply by enforcing similar thinking patterns (maybe). I kind of get into a "tunnel" when having a well focused day of code and feel lik

I agree that many people would perceive it in this way, but the truth is that your country would be paying as one, but receiving from many in a crisis. Thats the whole point of it.

Its insane how powerful and complex the immune system is, it is nowhere nearly fully understood. It can fire against anything detected to be hostile, false alarms causing auto immune diseases. Being able to take snippets of something, e.g.

Couldn't agree more. In the end security is a critical specification just as the intended use. So then why is this kind of thinking not pushed harder? Its at least as critical as program correctness testing in the end and should theref

only eukaryotic species are defined as "animal" afaik, so this is another league. Not getting pregnant every month is also not considered abortion in regions where this is banned, right?

The Turing machine was designed by imagining a human-operator. Our Mind has also only a finite state, and no matter if quantum effects are involved, the information in it is always finite, describable in a finite state. Thus, all turing mac

Atreus keyboard with purple switches is the best ever imo, tiny (no hand movement to use anything, incl. numbers & arrows), great mechanical feel & not too much travel / noise. Ill never switch back!
