Fascinating work. Does your personal interest in this some from the perspective of (mid/long-term future) WBE?

Is there a connectome data set as well? I'm interested to see how small that can get.

While this is a lot of data if you extrapolate to a full brain, a lot of signs point towards the data you'd need to actually simulate a brain being much smaller than that — possibly between 20-100 PB.

That's some impressively old rust code — from long before the initial release of the language!
455.
by nynx 5y ago
Sort of unrelated, but Rust doesn't make breaking changes. The language is fully backwards compatible.

It seems like the magic part here is the knitting together of clusters with different LODs. How does the streaming part work? I don't think this article mentioned it.

A conclusion of this paper is that a warp bubble that fits into the categories described requires external propulsion. I agree, the positive energy, spherically symmetric warp bubble isn't particularly interesting and certainly not a n

What was your process for self-teaching yourself enough physics to work on a paper like this?
459.
by nynx 5y ago
Indeed it is. There are still significant (in the case of the required mass-energy, massive) issues. The writer has a blog [0], which is worth reading if you're interested in next steps for the theory. [0]: https://eriklentz

There is another paper on warp drives that came out around the same time, Breaking the Warp Barrier: Hyper-Fast Solitons in Einstein-Maxwell-Plasma Theory [0]. [0]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.07125

Good luck writing a data structure more complex than a vector, like a b* tree, with that approach.

C is one of those languages that consistently looks fast, but often is slower than other languages. Without generics, it's difficult to have complex data structures for each type, so you end up with lots of pointer chasing and less tha

This is very interesting. Is there any more information available about the smartphones?
465.
by nynx 5y ago
Yeah, I felt the same way. I think, however, that smartphones will change as humanity spreads out a bit. On mars, a smartphone will need to deal with only local servers. On deep space, it'll need to mesh network with surrounding device

I couldn't get through the second half of that book. Do you recommend finishing it?

A research-oriented wrapper website around github/git would be just as useful as this and possibly more so.
468.
by nynx 5y ago
It's not the case anymore.

This is the important part that gets missed. The decentralized service (or open service, etc) needs to be significantly better than the alternatives to get traction.

I don't see this at all. Could you point to an example?

A rising tide lifts all boats! I'm really looking forward to the improvements that come to the rust ecosystem from integration into Linux.
472.
by nynx 5y ago
Yes.

by nynx 5y ago
Rust can easily produce C compatible symbols.

More discussions about whether ownership can be tacked onto another language.

This is true, but it's important to consider that you could squeeze several billion of these processors into the space taken up by current CPUs.

My wish was actually to be able to spin up a shell locally on a github repo that pulls stuff over lazily.
477.
by nynx 5y ago
Someday, I'd like to see Wasi-based webassembly containers. It'd be awesome to spin up a sandboxed shell with file access in a webpage.

If you could build mechanisms atom-by-atom, you could make reversible mechanical computers that are orders of magnitude faster than what we have today.

I wonder if this uses a microlens display.
