I think many people are scared of "being reduced to a number" but I wonder if, psychologically, codes like p7jn8-h would go over better.

It's not terribly fast. It's faster than LEB128 but not as fast as vu128 (at least according to https://github.com/Jiboo/varint_benchmark )

So true. A legislator in Virginia finally pitched ending the tax credit that brought all the data centers to VA in the first place, and I hope it passes (I know it won’t). But seei…

As someone who lives in Northern Virginia, it makes me furious to receive my electricity bill and see that even though I used less electricity than the same month last year, I am p…

Putting aside the fact that no company should have direct access to anyone's brain, how cool would it be to be building toward VISOR (from TNG) instead of this. If we could transla…

And if you look very closely, you can see just the tiniest bit of backbone growing in the backs of the Democratic congresspeople. If they continue to nurture this growth, they may …

I switched from caffeine (coffee) to theacrine (pills) and I like it so much more. I feel alert and focused without added anxiety. It doesn’t seem to affect my sleep at all. I real…

I would love to switch but the battery draw on my mac is just too much! I like to move around to different places in my home as I work so being able to be on battery for a while is…

I have a pet theory that I like to contemplate which is that consciousness is a field that brings the universe into being sort of like how the Higgs field brings mass into being
