What you've linked to is evidence that our understanding of gravity is wrong OR there is dark matter.

Those are evidence for our physics not actually matching reality, not evidence for dark matter specifically.

Honestly, I'm a little tired of the whole dark matter thing. There's no evidence for it, and physicists keep coming up with more and more complex models to fit the data when they d…

I'd be grateful if you could notify me when you release what you're working on. Email is in profile. Thank you :)

> Is it "simple coincidence" that "conspiracy theories" almost always come true? That's quite a statement to make. In no way do "conspiracy theories almost always come true."

I read Permutation City a year or two ago, so bear with me. I believe they run the computation on physical computers so that the people running in the simulation can, at any point,…

Not really, if the user wants they can post their location, credit card number, etc online. They stand between themselves and their own exploitation. Removing apis doesn't change t…

It's a shame that Firefox has said they won't implement many of these. The Bluetooth and USB apis would legitimately be really useful. I'm not sure the privacy issues really matter…

I'm not sure OpenGL will ever be deprecated, but it's always been a pretty awful and very complex api.

Can you be clearer about what’s going on behind the scenes here? Additionally, are you aware of the humanityplus and ##hplusroadmap communities?

3080 ($700) apparently has 238 teraflops of "tensor compute." We're frighteningly close to a petaflop of compute for less than a thousand usd.

The rendering backend is a work in progress. In the near term, it'll let you use several levels of rendering abstraction, down to wgpu, which is what it currently uses, and eventua…

There's going to be an editor, but these things take time.

Get some help man

Perhaps stagnation is due to experience, perhaps it's due to accumulated, age-related brain damage. I doubt we'll know until people do live hundreds or thousands of years. Surely y…

I have no idea, I'm not a scientist, I'm just a transhumanist.

I can't say I understand this viewpoint. If you feel you're going to become an agent of stagnation, as you put it, simply put effort into not stagnating.

The whole point of this is to be able to extend your healthspan, not just your lifespan. This includes age "reversal" and maintenance. A complete solution does not leave you in you…

You're getting some downvotes, but I actually agree with this. The next ten or twenty years are going to be the most exciting so far, and then it only goes up from there.

I do want to live in a world where people can take as much time as they want! I'm 20 years old, and there already isn't enough time to do everything I want to do. I also disagree t…

Never understood why so many people are so vehemently against anti-aging sentiments. Are they in denial about their own, current mortality?

Do you not want to live longer?

WebBundles would be great for distributing applications to users as a single, well, bundle.

Thank you for commenting here Steve. The fallout from the layoffs is possibly quite harrowing but, from my biased point of view, this may be a watershed moment for Rust. It'll have…
