   Feasible up to 1 petahertz, wow.

   Sounds like we need some new training methods. If training could take place locally and asynchronously instead of globally through backpropagation, the amount of energy could probably be significantly reduced.

   The Architectural presentation linked from the GitHub repository for this project is an incredibly good resource on how these kinds of things are designed.

   It’s really too late for me to drop out (graduating in the fall), but it’s something I’ve put a lot of thought into in the past. Really, the main thing that’s had value for me has been my senior thesis. Most classes, even high-level enginee

   I love the idea of depreciating `ptr as usize`.

   I’m not sure what you mean by enough to make a star. Stars don’t have antimatter in them.

   Looks awesome! I see you came up with a new file-format to store responses; have you see the webbundle spec: https://wicg.github.io/webpackage/draft-yasskin-wpack-bundle... ?

    WASM went ahead and renamed all the instructions at some point to make them more consistent. e.g. `get_local` was renamed to `local.get`. Maybe RISCV should do the same.

    I hope we eventually get phased array optics on smartphones (or just in general). Imagine the whole back of the phone is a sheet of nanosized optical components able to determine the angle of incoming photons. Off the bat, that could captur

    I keep seeing stories about how different people designed their own prosthetics. Are prosthetics on the market just not good enough? Why I that? And why are they so expensive?

    I mean, the end goal there is uploading, growing a new body, and replacing the brain with a computer running the uploaded mind.

    I admit it’s difficult to find exact, consistent answers, but what I’ve seen is generally a roughly keto diet with all eating constrained to a 4-8 hour period in a day is very healthy. That’s basically what I do: high fat and moderate prote

    Seems like a pretty good resource. It doesn’t seem to follow the more recent consensus on intermittent fasting or keto/etc, but it’s an older page, so that makes sense.

    Sugar is at least a substance that one can choose not to eat. Lead poisoning and pollution aren’t choices.

    Yes, exactly. Would be awesome if those could be designed/ordered as easily and cheaply as PCBs.

    Could entire PCBs be replaced by on-wafer designs in certain applications?

    Subvocalizing is already a thing and devices do exist for interpreting it, I believe. It's cool that this is so small though.

    Unfortunately, like many industry standards, the spec is not available without requesting it. I have no idea why consortiums do that.

    I really hope this works. Honestly, there are a number of low-hanging fruits in fusion. More recent calculations show that, if you include the kinetic energy of the muons, Muon-catalyzed fusion may be net positive [0]. This LCF stuff is a l

    Every time a post like this comes up, I state this opinion: I fully believe that Windows will _eventually_ be replaced with a desktop environment running on top of the linux kernel.

    Beautiful article. It’s very much worth reading.

    You can use constant expressions in const generics in many cases. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

    Interesting! Perhaps that could’ve been a numerical accuracy issue? Do you have code somewhere you’d be willing to share?

    Wonder if we’ll be able to make something equivalent to a gravitational camera at some point.
