    Since you mentioned biohacking but are wary of "wetware" risks, consider Personal Bioinformatics via 30x Whole Genome Sequencing. Now that sequencing costs have dropped significant…

    Following the recent discussion on files as the ideal interface for agents [0], this might be an interesting exploration. llm9p is a small, experimental 9P server that lets you int…

    Ontologically, this historical model understands the categories of "Man" and "Woman" just as well as a modern model does. The difference lies entirely in the attributes attached to…

    I haven't limited my AI use. In fact, it has increased. It still feels experimental, and I often use it even when it does not save time, simply to avoid effortful thinking. That co…

    The vision of unifying Copilot/Cursor/Roo/Cline/etc. under a common configuration and best-practice layer is compelling, and I like the direction toward reusable templates and memo…

    I can really relate to this — in school, biology felt like dry memorization. It never clicked with me, and I wrote it off for years. If I could recommend one subtopic of biology to…

    Over the past 30 years, computers and software have dramatically transformed our world. Yet many sectors remain heavily influenced by their analog history. My understanding is that…

    The Rust Belt's just one part of the story, not the whole US economy. Globalization actually created tons of wealth for the USA, but that money hasn't been spread around fairly. It…
