Does it have to have a point? I'm still young (early 20s) so maybe there's something I'm missing, but I don't see why there has to be a reason for life. It exists and as a result, so do you. Enjoy it, do what's righ

I often buy an ebook to support the author, but then pirate the book in an epub format, which ends up being more user-friendly since I can read it on multiple different computers and in the ebook software that works best for me.

Something taking a while for someone to think of it doesn't mean that only one organization should be allowed to make it. It took hundreds of thousands of years for people to come up with the wheel. The concept of the wheel isn't

I was a very early employee at Wasmer and worked with Ivan for part of that, though I ended up leaving after roughly four months to go back to university. At the time, it didn't seem too bad but, in hindsight, it was a pretty toxic env

2sigma isn’t a notable result.

I think this is because there’s an obvious series of steps that the openworm team was unable or unwilling to do: teach a C. Elegans a habitual memory, preserve it using ASC, scan it slice by slice using an electron microscope, try to predic

Extropians had a lot of ties (and significant crossover) with the people driving the idea of molecular nanotechnology around this time. I think Ralph Merkle and Robert Freitas, both pioneers in nanotech, were advisors for the Alcor cryonics

How good is the battery life for the prototype headsets? If the headset is small enough and lasts long enough, I could totally see myself tossing it in my backpack instead of a laptop.

That sounds amazing. Something I’ve been wondering is if matrix supports specifying custom UIs for rooms somehow. For example, could a room have the ui of an issue tracker without it being through an additional program or website?

Oh wow, I’ve seen that video and couldn’t find any information about it!

It looks like this isn’t as fast as the theoretical top PCIe 4.0 performance?

A smartphone as reparable and upgradable as a framework laptop would be pretty neat. I’m not sure how possible that’d be though.

Since longevity and anti-aging treatments seem to be just a few decades away at this point, I don't think it's inherently bad if population growth is below replacement in most countries.

> Surrendering so much control to a computer might give some pause for thought Not sure why this would be — a computer is going to be much better at controlling it than a human.

This is fantastic. An open-source e-reader that has all the niceties that one expects from a kindle would be awesome, and this looks like it has the potential to eventually become that.

Why would they put things in environment variables instead of having new imported functions to grab various values?

If that happened, people would just break intellectual property laws left and right until they became unenforceable.

SpaceX’s velocity is incredible. It’s great that Falcon Heavy is being used a little and seeing their progress with Starship is inspiring.

The description seems reasonable, but given how many times “zero-point energy” has been shown not to be harvestable, it’s unlikely that this is the time it worked.

Sad that someone put so much work into this. At least they haven’t spent the money on trying to build it.

Huh, I wonder how they did that.

Insane that it’s this easy to cause undefined behavior. Forgot what size a “long long” is on your arch when writing a print statement? Undefined behavior.

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but this article quotes directly from the bloomberg article about how the satellite service will be unreliable, needs a long time to connect, and will only be able to send short emergency messages.
