Not arguing for or against but micro transactions absolutely work precisely because people can be more happy to spend $1 ten times in a month than $10 in one go because the $1 is a less scary transaction than $10 a month, which if you’re

You’re wrong on this one, pre-“metaverse” it was just called social vr, and that universe is really something special. The creativity and energy in there is like nothing I’ve ever seen before and it’s very very exciting Not the vision you’l

The veritasium video didn’t create a clear picture of what’s going on and you shouldn’t feel bad for feeling more confused after watching it ElectroBOOM has a good response https://youtu.be/iph500cPK28

Sometimes I try to imagine living in the past or far future and I can’t help but have a feeling of “Oh dear lord I’m lucky to be a working age adult in _this_ particular moment of human history” The far future an individual human is perhaps

I think there’s plenty of room for life extension Evolution doesn’t optimise for length of life, just propagation. A number of species have evolved to have very short life cycles because that enabled greater propagation. Presumably shorter

For sure, energy has a cost which you want to optimize for - no question about it. The crux is when that cost is artificially low: you can dump your radioactive waste in the river for as much as it costs to transport it, but the cost is the

A more complicated challenge is climate change, which is like the CFC example taken to the extremes. Since every company uses energy the responsibility is spread among everyone. However, every group, from countries to companies stands to lo

Can be made smaller for sure, but if I'm say working with 10,000 images in my app and decoding all the time, a 3-4x speedup in the decode time can be a major saving for ~ 10-40% increase in file size with a lib I can just drop in my pr

This is impressive, I was curious if it was just better on simpler images with many duplicate pixels but it's nice to see it working well with photography too e.g. https://phoboslab.org/files/qoibench/images&#
