To the founder of Omegle, I would say: do not lose heart. The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice. In the end, we will prevail over those who destroy the good works of others under the guise of false victimhood an

I really doubt these low protein diets have any capacity to extend lifespan and healthspan in humans. The amount of wear and tear on a human body, especially voluntary wear through exercise, simply requires ample nutrients for adequate reco

There was recently an article posted about inducing lucid dreams on demand. Why not remove a brain from a skull and induce lucid dreams on it perpetually? Perhaps then there could be a way to read brainwaves to see how the mind is doing, ma

If there’s anything I’ve learned in the past decade is that way, way too much of our government relies on people in power being rational actors with good intentions. If they wanted to raise hell they could simply make the worst decision and

Waze is great but I have no idea how they make money and I fear now I’m the product.

An exposed CRT like that is quite dangerous no? Capacity discharge could easily kill.

Are WeWorks still good places to socialize with certain types of entrepreneurial people or are they out of style?

This is only true because the speed of light is fairly low relative to the size of the universe. If it was infinite, we’d be bathed in light.

Don’t start a research based company for money, start it for clout. You can say you are researching cutting edge AI stuff, but not really. And no one is going to validate your claims. It’s research. It’s mysterious, exclusive, inaccessible,

It gets worse: in a society where children are a luxury requiring careful investment and sacrifice to conceive, child abuse will be far more rampant, as there will be growing pressure from parents to make their children some sort of positiv

Yup. It’s a shit state now, I used to live up in Northern California for a while. Proposals for the 51st state of Jefferson have been gaining popularity again. I’d love to see it happen as it would probably get me to move back to that regio

It is a privilege to only have to play video games for fun. In college, I played World of Warcraft just to farm gold, just to get by.

This could be liberating or terrifying. If you don’t notice time passing, does it feel like you’re just in some eternal existence beyond time, where you have all the time in the world? Or do you just instantly come to a realization some day

Can you give an example? It seems like being freaky just means dancing like a crazy person. Hardly much repercussion for that.

What exactly would you have done differently to appreciate the magic?

Not really any more terrifying than driving around in vehicles powered by thousands of tiny explosions per minute.

Usually it is insufficient justification for those who want to profit off something people do freely for fun.

Considering that a vast majority of people who decide to learn a static site generator never end up really developing their static site much beyond a few articles talking about their static site generation process, I think there is definite

We should be free to use celebrity voices for private purposes. I would love if I could replace Siri’s voice with Scarlett Johansson instead.

SEO has always been a moving target. So now it’s all about social media optimization. Think channels, not search results.

I think some gatekeeping is warranted. If I stitch a wound it doesn’t suddenly mean I’m a doctor. Similarly, using AI to develop a game makes you as much of a game developer as someone who hires someone to make a game for them. And some dev

Some people are really good at art, some aren’t. Regardless, I can pull down some off the shelf assets from an asset store and make a game with them.

Everyone will think this impressive, but they’re not game developers. You could literally make all this in probably 24 hours and not spend any time mucking around with prompts. Like what are we even seeing here? Basically a tech demo of a p

This is one of the kind of tests we can perform on an individual in the future if we suspect they are artificial. A standard human should be fairly predictable, but an artificial person is more likely to produce true random patterns when as

The reason becomes apparent when you take a carry on bag and find yourself desperately searching for somewhere to put it in an overhead bin, but there is none. You boarded too late and everyone ahead of you stole your allotted space. NOW yo

See this is already more work than I’d want to do. I hate strip clubs. And I don’t want to grease palms in some shady underworld to get access to escorts. Literally just want to pay someone to come over, get me off, then I go about my day.
