I am actively researching this friction and others like it. I would love it if you happened to have recommendations for literature that 3rd parties can use to corroborate your expe…

Sometimes two sentences is the minimum necessary number of sentences, but everybody should be wary of that instinct

This appears to coincide with the rapid rise of my wealthier friends taking extended holidays in Croatia. It wasn’t the cool thing to do, now suddenly it’s a must-see place. I didn…

Not to mention that we really are much more similar to chimps than they’re giving us credit for. If we ate a relatively low calorie, high protein diet, and maintained an active lif…

As Bitcoin increases in value, the reward for breaking into wallets grows. Satoshi’s is the ultimate target here, followed by wallets used to burn currencies. Some of these look li…

I have been thinking of a project extremely similar to this for a totally different purpose. It’s lovely to see something like this. Thank you for sharing it, inspiring

One of my favourite sci comms YouTubers explained this in great detail https://youtu.be/8JuWdXrCmWg Highly recommend

I would love to read this and other material. Got links?

I’ve been thinking about building precisely that sort of tech tree for a while, then extending it forwards in time to see if we can guess at how to work backwards from hypothetical…

I really like what they’re going for but I’m disappointed in the outcome (so far). Then again, Apple has always managed to have a glaring oversight in design somewhere — “just hold…

This sounds like you’ve found a citation ring, but with all the trimmings of legitimacy. Has it had similar benefits for your career?

In my experience it’s one or the other: attend all the lecturers and nullify the need to study more than that attendance and some specific exam revision if they drop hints or don’t…

I have been doing this for purely aesthetic reasons my whole life. Style guides be damned, I hate connected em dashes.

Don’t forget sex and randomly inferred things too!

If we’re talking strictly about producing energy, yes, but this isn’t a method for more efficient or desirable solar energy production. This is an attempt to recreate the biomanufa…

Ah. I just checked a formulation for my old supplements v my new ones. I see increased magnesium. This was helpful

Where can one reliably learn about rare earths in the supply chain, refining abilities, what’s actually important for which tech, etc? I feel like I read very different views on th…

Having recently walked away from that exact situation miraculously unscathed (the teenage drunk drivers also managed to walk away somehow), that’s an interesting insight into the t…

This would be a really good read if anything like it exists somewhere. Do you have notes, more to say, a direct link to relevant work, anything?

Yes. Adversity is only good for development if it’s a strong enough signal to require growth while also being within the range of adaptability, relative to your environment (suppor…

Yes, but outcomes are largely multi-realisable. It’s true that nature has a big role to play, but I think a lot of that role is expressed in how it changes nurture dynamics. A shy …

Yes, but the user is using it in a derogatory sense, not the friendly meme sense. Referring to someone as “girlie” can be either. I would assume this is just a way of referring to …

They’re right until they’re wrong. AI is (was?) a stochastic parrot. At some point AI will likely be more than that. The tipping point may not be obvious.

I’d push it further than you, even, and have been thinking this way for a while. The economy is AI. I know that’s a ridiculously simplistic way to put it and a network of individua…

Can you explain how pascal’s mugging functions with respect to risk rather than reward?
