rust-gpu ( https://shader.rs ) is a spirv backend for Rust. It's early days, but already really promising. In my opinion, applying a good package manager (cargo) and a good language (rust) to gpgpu and rendering could result

For those not in the know, cranelift is primarily used as a wasm compiler backend, but there is also work being done on integrating it into the rust compiler.

I'm a little surprised they didn't go for three separate computers and compare them for every operation, or something like that, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

A few hundred milliseconds seems easily doable with a custom linux distro.

This is kind of unrelated, but it would be so cool if assemblers like that existed in real life. It's a "hard problem" unfortunately.

I'll be honest, D looks like a pretty inconsistent language. It has a lot of useful features for sure, but—having not used it—seemingly of the kitchen sink variety.

actually, it's more like within a factor of two of the pressure at the center of the earth.

May this be the beginning of a long, interesting, and productive future.

Not sure. I don't know what kind of resolution I'll get.

I've been working on a diy atomic force microscope for a few months. Here's the page on it (not too much there yet): https://charted.space/afm-updates.html Unfortunately, I don't have a huge amount of time be

You're going to be on the tail end of the age scale, but I suspect if you keep extremely healthy and try out any new treatments and relevant supplements as soon as you can get them, you'll still be able to participate in longevity

A bunch of my ancestors probably died of syphilis. Doesn't mean I should do that. Many people depend on modern medicine to be alive. Maybe even you or someone you love. Who should get decide when they've gotten enough? Do you want

Aging sucks dude. I don't want to get old. In fact, aging is the worst moral disaster in the entirety of human existence. It would be immoral not to stop it given the opportunity.

I'm guessing you made this comment to be edgy. I would hope that you, having access to both a brain and the internet, would realize that viruses are respirated in water droplets large enough to be blocked by filters and–to a lesser ext

Undeniably, these are complex and depressing times for many, maybe even most, people. However, I'm sitting at a desk, two windows into all human knowledge in front of me. You can buy computing hardware at tens of dollars per petaflop p

That's true. I think the fair way to put it that it's possible that ASC preserves the necessary data to simulate a brain.

by nynx 6y ago
Very interesting, but also worrying, in a way. If neurons are actually reasonably large, complex computers in their own right, brain emulation is much further off than some people are thinking. It's possible that ASC brain preservation

Okay. It's probably possible. Hobbyist tooling isn't there yet though. I'm actually developing a DIY atomic force microscope, for other use-cases though. STMs are very limited though. The kinds of atoms you can pick up are pr

It seems that bonding atoms in 3D using an STM is very difficult, if not impossible. We'll probably have self-assembling molecular processors before then.

I'd like to see more MIMD or MISD architecture exploration. 2048 core basic riscv processors anyone?

When you're writing code in a dynamic language, you're still using a type-checker; it's just in your head instead of the computer. This is a fantastic waste of mental energy and working memory.
