The author doesn't go far enough into the problems with trying to convert information theory to SI Units. SI units are attempting to fix standard measurements with perceived consta…

> auto-magic-ing size reading to access members after it From the article >we now have everything we need to calculate the size, offset and alignment of every field, regardless of …

Because arrays simply do not deal with fragmentation. Yes, you could probaly get decent performance on a modern system that has memory overcommit strategy where you could allocate …

Dosing seems correct, they established that psilocin (the metabolite of psilocybin ) increases lifespan. The on hand mouse expert likely understood roughly how much psilocybin coul…

>That’s just throwing more probabilities at the problem Think about protein folding and enzymes. That's all solved with probabilities and likely outcomes for the structure and the …

I would also imagine that there could be a food and drug safety prover that would simulate billions of prompts to see if the replicator would ever have a safety violation that coul…

The evolution of our species was based on the carbon lifecycle. Yet the machines we produce are not evolving in a similar manner at all, just the ability to redraw everything from …

>In vivo would make no sense. It would certainly be one of the more stranger ways to explain the birds and the bees

Biological evolution is also impossible to measure on small timescales. that does not mean it does not exist, clearly it exists. It has an exponential effect on the future. I think…

Its impossible to properly seperate biological evolution from current day enviromental pressure. There have been many natural and man-made disasters that have killed or otherwise e…

I do like hyprland, Its what I have installed. I hope they can offer 5$. of value to people with their 'premium' experience, I just think its either way too little or way too much …

I'd guess there is a significant language barrier, for lack of better words, on the meaning of 'god' and 'virtue'(which might have been more descriptive, but I'm not willing to edi…

That's where correlations of random events and placebo end and where discovery begins. There are 'gods' that are 'better' than others. Even if the principle of what you/people beli…

>They need something that can land on Mars and return with a crew >A three stage rocket is something you’d use for one-way missions with smaller payloads The only succesfull human …

What's really vexing to me is how spacex refuses to build a triple stage rocket. Their 'reusability' adds a significant amount of mass in terms of heatshield and in terms of fuel m…

the poster above was very conservative in his metrics and throtteling requirements. Modern pressure vessels can reach 5% empty mass, thats a factor of 20 Rockets have stages, a goo…

I like the article for brainstorming possible technological solutions. Though whats missed is the cost of maintaining and repairing seafloor cables. This is what makes or breaks yo…

As conspiratorial as this sounds, alot of successfull non-profit organisations have a vested interest in becoming a critical part of their infrastructure so that funding cuts would…

This wouldn't detect overhead cables, which is the primary concern when using this to improve visual landing issues.

archiving isn't just to circumvent a paywall. There's also the HN hug of death, possible geoblocks or an actual interest in archiving the article as it was written at the time thes…

>There is limited evidence that farming use of antibiotics is what drives resistance in clinical cases. This is a classic example of asymptotic behaviour analysis. >That is - we us…

Practically, there's no way to stop anti-microbial resistance. We've only been capable of using said drugs for an x number of years because of the relatively long time it takes for…

Yield would be the amount of functioning chips. This may be chips, entire packages or even a complexer answere where good chips also need to be below certain leakage. Cores and cac…

Excel is really easy to use for smaller data collection and manipulation. There's no input validation, signing and other complicated design decisions needed to start an excel sprea…
