A few of these questions are answered in the Commonwealth saga books of Peter Hamilton

I meant a cli is essentially a wrapper around an API, you are right it is less complex than a direct call. My point was that now there is an API you can call with this CLI, or a cl…

This is an API. They now allow users to create accounts, buy domains and deploy from their api instead of going on the website. That's great. I am not sure I understand why all thi…

If we agree that consciousness is a physical process part of our universe, I think the better and simpler question is whether or not computers can simulate any physical process. Cu…

would encrypting sms and using some kind of authorized certificate authorities, maybe the ones from the country's phone carriers, alleviate this issue?

Another good book exploring this idea of not dying is Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton. Only in this book almost everyone has access to the technology by paying into a rejuvenation…

It got me super excited!

Strangely reminiscent of "Children of Time"'s beginnings of spider intelligence

I think you can do that with an iframe, but it always makes me nervous

That's what I thought too skimming through the documentation, my thinking is that since it does that, which makes sense to avoid script injection, why not do it with "jsonized" htm…

Right this makes sense, I wonder if it would then be a good idea to abstract html to JSON, making it impossible to include css and js into it

I see how useful a universal UI language working across platforms is, but when I look at some examples from this protocol, I have the feeling it will eventually converge to what we…

The EU represents about 24% of the global Saas market for example. (95 billion in 2024 / global SaaS market in 2025 is ~ $408 billion). For comparison, North America leads globally…

It makes sense, I would be curious to see the price computations done by the different space GPUs startups and Big Tech, I wonder how they are getting a cheaper cost, or maybe it i…

We also have to build a lot more solar and nuclear in addition of the datacenters themselves, which we need to do anyway but it would compound the land we use for energy production…

I like the underwater idea did not think of that

The one thing that space has going for itself is space. You could have way bigger datacenters than on Earth and just leave them there, assuming Starship makes it cheap enough to ge…

Thanks to everyone who replied, I understand it better now!

Something weird here, why is it so hard to have a deterministic program capable of checking a proof or anything math related, aren't maths super deterministic when natural language…

So AWS S3 Glacier might actually be cold

one issue I see is when steps in a plan depend on one another, when you cannot know all the next steps exactly before seeing the results of the previous ones, when you may have to …

Right, a pure functional program can be composed of many things, so it can be complex even without side effects. Only a program with side effects is necessarily complex, as it incl…

For a moment I thought they were making hobbyist PCBs you can put in your body.

But is it maybe the difference between complicated, which indecipherable definitely is, and complex, in the sense of composed of many things?
