5 of the top 10 states by population aren't on the cellular outage maps: Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Sacramento is down again. All livestreams suddenly cut out.

News articles just started popping up. But none of them have addressed the overlap between outages and protest sites, yet. https://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-sprint-att-t-mobi…

There were dozens of livestreams going from each major protest city here: https://woke.net/#streams 10 minutes ago there were none. Right now Sacramento, Seattle, Louisville have a…

Wired communication at VRAM speeds on a single low (production) cost chip?! This is going to be game changing for AI and super-computing. Wow. At these speeds clustering and distri…

It actually doesn't make sense. A circle with a 1D point missing from its edge is the same as a sphere with a 2D hole in it. Both have material connected "around" it in another dim…

DNA is not a 3D molecule. DNA is a molecule which can be represented as 3D. It can just as easily be represented with one or even two fewer dimensions without losing any informatio…

Their "reasoned" arguments come from their own sensory experience directly and they are aware of that. Do you think a deaf, blind person, with no feeling, and no awareness of their…

>most empiricists believe that mathematicians have knowledge not based on sense experience. Even the knowledge that 1+1=2 comes from sensing objects in the world. If you'd never se…

> There are no "pure observations". There are only observations as understood and analyzed by reason. There is no measure of the accuracy of knowledge about what correct "reasoning…

It probably massively increases average time on site and average videos viewed, and thus ad revenue.

> They're expensive (beyond a little bit of included data usage) and high-latency. How's SpaceX going to change that? Very many lower cost lower orbit satellites. The plan is to do…

So pessimistic. We don't need to know how brains work to have useful interactions with them, even pulling out pictures and words from neural activity. That sensor breakthrough has …
