What seems chilling to me is that there is a sort of terrestrial Fermi Paradox where given the amount of time Earth has existed relative to how long humans have existed, you should expect there to have been sentient non-human civilization

I like the idea of the Tetris expanded universe. It is interesting to see where the falling blocks are coming from, and where they are going when they disappear. When you play Tetris you are only playing in one part of a larger sequence of

Solving the root problem is outside the realm of startups. You must know the difference between problems that have political solutions and those which are primarily solvable through business activity. In this case, if a platform existed tha

Wonder if there is a startup opportunity in being some kind of organ broker.

Crazy how physical safety in the United States is so low, makes sense these days as cars are ubiquitous and frequently in accidents, and people might kill you for economic or mental health reasons.

Data engineer sounds like a great second remote job to pick up. If you already have a remote software engineering job, picking up an entry level data engineer role on the side will allow you to build up that resume in parallel, without havi

I don’t get it. “Nice job”, “Meh”, and “This sucks.” are all dismissals, but they are also feedback, which is just as important as long form critique. And I didn’t merely say “Meh”, I followed up with some more text and added a new dimens

I actually was very excited to see what 3D images “floating” above my DS was supposed to be. Imagine my disappointment when I find out I’ve been clickbaited. Nothing is floating here, it’s just an AR app. “Meh” is exactly how I feel. Indi

There is a good chance you will relive this exact same life again, over and over, for all eternity. Feeling the same way, doing the same things. So if you can feel content with each moment of your life, then you are content with the concept

We’re not doomed and we don’t need to be separate. We just need to be patient. We must be willing to send generations of humans on thousand year journeys.

The fitness industry runs on the idea that you need a hundred variation of exercises to get fit. The truth is, you don’t need really more than a dozen. There are the five or six boring core lifts that everyone knows, and then maybe a handfu

Any plans to mark these locations in real life somehow? Would be great for a London Medieval Murder tour.

Comfortable viewing angle is actual about 15 degrees downward, where the eye muscles can rest. You can achieve this by tilting your laptop screen farther back. There is no inherent reason for your neck and back to be anything but straight u

Personally I wouldn’t take advice on how to be successful from someone like Sam Altman. There’s better sources. Business/career success is only one facet of success.

I finally got an invite code to Bluesky the other day. There is absolutely no content. Not as in “blank page nothing here” type of no content, I mean as in the “open the fridge, look around, and decide there’s nothing to eat” type of no con

Certain types of news are more like cultural/societal events and stories that are worth following just to have some topic to bring up with other people. Stuff like a submarine implosion, or a 9/11, or an OJ Simpson trial. These ar

Clearly we’ve missed the boat on buy one of these computers, but people also don’t think they’re that great. Are there any specific vintage computers one should definitely buy immediately if the opportunity comes up?
