    Personally I get immense enjoyment out of not doing anything useful, especially not on a big scale. So if I were to accidentally "make it big", I'd most likely not do it again and …

    > So, the real question is, if a really cute girl that you like smiling in front of you, and she asks your "star type" (or "constellation"), what would you really do at that spot? …

    Clearly the ecosystem is far from collapse while we're in the middle of a rapid human-caused mass-extinction. What kind of propaganda are you smoking, bro.

    Corporations can be regarded as AI agents with misaligned goals. In a bit over a century this has resulted in damage to the climate and Earth's ecosystem that is threatening the su…

    You might be right and my 95% was a bit off. But the main point is that 80-85% being sustainable for only 30s might only be the case for someone who is in absolutely terrible shape…

    That doesn't sound right. Even 95% of max heart rate is sustainable for a long, long time. Intervals one can only sustain for 30s are way above VO2max intensity deep in the anaerob…

    No, that's not about sugar. The body needs glucose to function. It is produced from carbs (and other sources) in your food.

    Just get used to being hungry and your stomach being empty. You don't need to do anything when you're hungry, you won't starve.

    Just step out of the city, and boom no mobile connection with O2.

    Most networks support leaving memos to registered users when they're offline. So IRC does have that functionality.

    Since it's everything but random, given the strong, strong selection pressure, what you wrote misses the point completely. And the argument based on that is completely meaningless …

    This article is about psilocybin mushrooms though, not whatever abusable substances you're talking about.

    That's the problem we're talking about. It is very feasible but only if performance and energy use is something you want to focus on, while accepting the economic penalty of not pr…

    JS is the most popular language. Thus most software is wasting orders of magnitude more energy than it should. The same functionality would require less than a tenth of processing …

    Because that is indeed a very effective approach. In a game where rules can be broken or warped to suit your goals, doing so is a smart move. Just like in life, where rules don't a…

    And that's why tech people don't really care about Apple. No wonder Apple devices are so unpopular in these circles here.

    The way the C++ code looks makes me think that the language wasn't designed with this in mind. Modern programming concepts are really stretching the syntax of older languages to th…
