TL:DR it kicks ass. Can't wait for this to come out and to build a monster 12-core 24-thread remote vscode server , paired with one of the new pcie4 nvme drives ( 5gbps read/4gbps writes ) and then and only then will I be able to

Say wooot? Since I can't read the paywalled article I'm wondering how exactly do you apply "noninvasive stimulation" on these frequencies. Was it audio, electrodes on a shaved head, combination of drugs, did this work in

I don't know if censorship is the right branding here because it imposes a correlation between authoritarian citizen-torturing regimes and how we effectively use and encounter "censorship" in our every day lives when doing th

In my opinion this hypothesis is totally wrong because the accuracy of information is the problem and not the quantity of it. We can handle quantity, now we need to handle error correction and build better access permissions too.

I don't understand why the choice of opensourcing seems to be so binary for some. It feels as if it's either: A-Leave everything open and hope that the global interoperability and cathartic flow of information creates a magic utop

The reason this is important is not the really the few % savings in fuel weight. Any small improvement in exhaust velocity of the engine makes a huge difference(sort of exponential) in the amount of payload it can take to orbit. In this cas

Here's one dumb but plausible scenario of how the world ends: A new automated network-exploit tool is being researched. One day a national-security intern brings their vape inside the faraday cage at work. Completely forgetting the dam

To add to this, bandwidth and app size is not important to the user(they'll watch netflix later). The only thing they notice, is response time. React with well defined static content routing and server-side rendering is amazing at this

Thanks guys. I had actually never seen that written solely as SPA even though I've worked as a react dev for 2 years now in Canada. I guess the acronym really is going obsolete.

Wtf is an SPA?

From completely personal opinion and that of close friends: x265 movies look way cleaner while having way smaller file sizes. Also it's the best tradeoff between quality/filesize by factor of 2 or more. I'd personally notice

Ok we know that ultra-capacitors carry about 10x less energy/kg than current li-ion batteries. This means they have limited use in small consumer cars, other than maybe helping the brakes or conditioning power. What they lack in weight

Yes it can be done, but the probability of malicious players finding someone competent enough is quite low. It's unlikely you would help a shady organization when you have a high salary and a nice life. However this also means that sec

This is getting quite irresponsible and sad. The reason nothing too terrible(apart from election tampering) has yet happened is simply because the current market demand for developers prevents us from engaging in malicious behaviour. Howev

If you're ultra-rich you can just go to your backup home in New Zealand and comfortably watch all your peasants starve.

Software will absorb new humans as just another object, and map them into some form of homelessness, because that's the most efficient use of us. Personally I'd feel happier if I grew up on a community surrounded by people that I

This is horrible, how do I know a random chinese business won't sell it for a good markup to a russian agency or Egypt who've used it to prosecute non religious people and gays. This whole interoperability push is getting ignorant

The problem relies in the obsession with monolithic design even if it ends up being a complete house of cards. This leads many new developers to sacrifice basic logic and first principles when judging what good software is; often resulting

So what, do I just set on the bios to run my CPU at 100% all the time now?

Would that bring a testosterone boost then, or like milder balls or something?

Even if it is common, it's very likely that nearly all intelligent life is heavily limited to sub-lightspeed travel, therefore most civilizations won't be able to expand that much, therefore having livable planets close-by is a pr

Think of it this way, if us humans were technologically capable of taking over their planet, we would very likely do so. Unless we completely edit out past warmongering from our gene pool. Therefore their only logical choice would be to st

If they study our past signals they will see that we've knowingly caused the extinctions of other living beings and frequently make even our species suffer. Which means, in the event that we get technologically capable enough to reach

However common, life in the universe is very likely constrained within the limits of the speed of light. So you can't just assume that they have plenty of other livable planets to just throw around.

Let's do a first principles analysis. If alien's were present here in biological form, having superior intelligence capabilities, they would have already taken control of us. Given the stupid amount of pollution we keep outputtin
