You could probably put some low effort cables from the engine to the top of the stack and add pressure as needed without too much effort

True, but this works in a completely uncustomized shell which is pretty nice - I can hop on a coworkers keyboard or a machine without my .bashrc and it just works. It mostly just replaces spamming the up arrow to find commands I already ran

Not quite a command, but ctrl+r in bash does a real useful history search

If you make the same as you did pre-covid, you took a 16% pay cut since 2020. https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=1.00&year1=202...

Gps uses satellites, and basically the only high speed internet you can get without a house is starlink. Both get better with starship

…why? My napkin math says a pair of observers, one at sea level and one on the top of a 14,000ft mountain, will drift by about 15 microseconds per year. In other words, the approximation that time is not relative breaks down at this level o

1.5 million customers according to google, ~$100 per month per customer is like 1.8 billion cashflow in per year, seems possible to me.

Anecdotal, but I paid $300 to get a 30x coverage full human genome scan of myself from Nebula Genomics. Within 24 hours, before I had mustered up the courage to read my results, I started getting ads for early onset parkinsons meds. I’ll gi

Mars has water and CO2, thats why starship uses methane. You can make fuel on mars.

Nitrates on earth range from 10-50 mg/kg in soil, on mars they make up 1100ppm = 0.1% = 1mg/kg, so in the extreme you can convert 10% of martian land to soil. Seems like plenty. We just don’t know if the 1/3 gravity will caus

You could totally just dig a 1 meter deep hole with a fancy bulldozer, then plop down a prefabbed house and bury it Hell, you could even have humans do the digging assisted by machines and just live on the surface for the first few months w

Probably, you dig a hole then put an inflatable hab inside and bury it? This feels like a supremely solvable problem

How is ritual sacrifice different than execution for crimes other than ruling body? We did some pretty ritualistic stuff to criminals in 1600s england: hanged until half-dead, then drawn and quartered.

It doesnt take 27 years to get to mars. If you push, you can get it down to like 8 months or shorter - it depends how much fuel you bring. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mission_to_Mars

Pretty sure we could design and launch a digging robot in 10 years, I dont really buy that as the bottleneck to mars exploration

There are nitrates on mars, nobody is seriously proposing unconditional one way trips, mars has enough gravity to prevent bone loss. But yes, it does mean bringing your own air and being self sufficient, but we do both of those things on th

I feel like spacex is the only group that has a chance at landing on mars this decade, and Starship is exactly what we’d want if we were trying to make a self sustaining mars colony right?

Or maybe it has gotten easier to watch things than it was in 1969?

Carboxymethl cellulose can be made from wood pulp and acetic acid (vinegar). Xantham gum is usually made from fermented sugar. Both seem pretty biodegradable to me actually, which is surprising.

Its wild to see some of our internal code getting reverse engineered like this. What an incredibly cool read, thanks a ton for sharing!

Not sure we needed the author to use that many words to say that they have a high school level understanding of human reproduction. I know I’m probably feeding the trolls here, but lets maybe leave the nonscientific hate rambles to every ot

I’m not sure I understand your point. Are you trying to say that people shouldn’t be paying attention to this? I would personally be horrified if I found out that the paper on the synthesis of a room temperature superconductor went through

Defining LK-99 as “the thing you get from following the steps in this paper” and not “the allegedly superconducting material these guys have a sample of” is silly.
