   Honestly, this is very aesthetically ugly and visually jarring to read.

   I was assuming you meant things like NFTs or smart contracts, i.e. commercial products that live on a blockchain

   Monero isn't commercialized. It's just a currency that people actually use for transactions, not a product.

    Agreed, that is weird. I like the rest of the book though.

    Morrowind lore is deeper and more interesting than most real religions. It's incredible what they managed to achieve, there are very few games that have come close since

    Ideally, fossil fuels should be used in the near term to bootstrap fission and fusion. Needless to say, this would only be possible with complete destruction of the NRC and other entrenched anti-nuclear forces, so it won't happen of co

    Carbon capture is extremely energy intensive and will never work without significantly increasing our energy production. The only way out of the climate crisis is to massively increase, not decrease, the amount of energy available to us

    >So do we really need to e.g. double or triple the (electrical/thermal) power density at scale? Will we ever be able to double or triple our (general purpose) compute per cpu any other way? Moore's law is essentially over. Node

    There is only so much computation you can do per watt on current process nodes. To increase our computation per chip, which is the goal, we need to increase the amount of watts we consume per chip. The goal should be to make more powerful p

    What measures general intelligence better than IQ tests?
24. 354.▲
    by voldacar 4y ago

    "Emotional intelligence" is not a form of intelligence. It was basically invented out of nowhere by some pop sci person, and since then it seems like its main function is for people whose IQs are not very high to say "well, I

    So is it correct that they are only open-sourcing the kernel-mode portion of the driver and that the real meat of the driver like the shader compiler will remain in a closed-source binary?

    The "tolerable upper limit" for vitamin D is set absurdly low. I have perused the literature on D toxicity and each case involved someone taking at least 100k IU per day, and usually way more than that. I take 50k IU per day ever

    the Caplan engine is quite nice! Assuming there is no need to move the solar system, it seems advantageous to dispense with the dyson sphere and just use the mechanism described to siphon out mass from the sun to directly power fusion react

    by voldacar 4y ago

    Yeah any civilization capable of building a dyson swarm could probably develop technology to dissasemble a star and use its matter for a more efficient nuclear process. I'm not sure how you would practically go about doing that though,
