Good points. Somehow typing latency might actually be better, lol. V8 might just invent like 3 more execution engines though, 1 of which uses an external TPU (open source though!) …

20x more compute isn't much in terms of cryptographic security concerns, no? Ah but triple-DES was recently depreciated. Definitely sounds right that we'd get an earlier, heavier e…

Sounds right to me. Without being able to rely on flashy visuals and low-latency so much, games would've had to be somewhat more strategic and intellectual to sell (although I imag…

I was pondering how internet latency seems to be just barely sufficient for a decent fast-paced online multiplayer gaming experience. If human cognition were say, 20x faster relati…

Regardless of where anyone thinks the maximas are in software trade-off space, developers are going to experiment shipping software at new points anyway, as markets at known points…

I didn't realize this was Nature, my bad. And of course I am the one who decides for myself if anything is worth thinking about more. I was simply trying to elicit the sort of info…

I am not really interested in having people switch who don't want to and are perfectly happy with their language. I am proposing the r&d of a way to coordinate people switching who…

Many programming languages would fit a project\team better if they had more community support. It's often worth putting up with worse-designed languages due to the existing librari…

It seems that some programming languages are simply better (i.e. overall safer, faster to read/write/compile/run, more expressive and efficient to develop in) than others. Overall …

Congrats! There's been a lot of solid object level advice here...I'll just repeat some basic & meta advice in case anything resonates: - you can't lose it if you don't spend it (as…

`But those animals that do live at depth will clearly need some special adaptations, says Dr Jamieson. "They'd have to do something clever inside their cells. If you imagine a cell…

- Far UVC lights (200 to ~222nm) such as Ushio's Care222 tech. This light destroys pathogens quickly while not seeming to damage human skin or eyes. - FPGAs. I'm no computer engine…

I haven't looked into it much, but it looks at least better than base 10.

I think so. As of 2019, 4 of the 7 SI base units were redefined by setting exact numerical values for several of the units ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_redefinition_of_the_…

Took a break and have been thinking and researching idealized/better/pure ways of doing things. E.g. exploring alternative: - number systems. Base 12 would be nice. - systems of me…

Non-exhaustively, I would look into fasting and fasting-mimicking diets ( https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-growing-science-... ).

If just a 2 terabyte cloud service faster than Dropbox would be enough, pCloud is nice.

Who says paying below our minimum wage is exploitative? Au Pairs' income is almost entirely discretionary. Who else from say, South Africa, can stably earn $800+/month of purely di…

Expected value != expected utility. Just taking this seriously pretty much resolves all these problems. It makes sense to take high cost/reward, low probability events seriously if…
