    I also read that one. Though certainly I also skipped some texts in college.

    Because the modern GOP is itself a con. Its great that he is protesting flock cameras but he should also be protesting his own party, which is engaged in unprecedented corruption, …

    Remember Jevon's Paradox: most of us instinctively look to improving efficiency. But when you do that, people just use more of the thing. Rewriting Python in Rust often won't mean …

    Small fusion reactors don't really solve any of the key challenges. You need reaction mass to accelerate, you run out of reaction mass way too quickly even with a magical energy so…

    Short term thinking isn't why we are suffering. We are suffering because there are no promising avenues to pursue. If you think of one, bring it up.

    I had this realization in high school. At the time I did not appreciate how impossible it is to accelerate at 1G for that long. Absent some entirely new physics becoming available.…

    laser propelled solar sails are the only plausible solution at the moment and it is not a given that even that is possible. Lots of engineering challenges there that may not have s…

    In the medium term wouldn't it likely not matter? Schedules will adjust to whatever permanent time system is adopted.

    It doesn't matter. Whether you have a ping of 40 or a ping of 300, 3ms is 3ms and will mean you win a little less often. The saying we have in bike racing marginal gains is "leave …

    The article is strange, as it starts with "we used to think it was just that smart kids read well, but this new study etc etc" But the details of the new study seem to support exac…

    I don't think space compute is going to work out, but I would certainly say "yes happy to buy space compute from you in the future if you offer it at a good price" If it happens it…

    Understanding battery degredation takes a lot of nuance. If you do nothing but charge and discharge quickly at some given temperature, you degrade to 90% in 1,000 cycles. But the b…

    and likely other un predictable knock on effects would reduce the benefit, like going vegan would mean more food is available overall, and population might rise in response.
