Sounds like QNX -- I remember running this from floppies as the first protected-mode OS that could run on my 386

I think it was from the movie industry - just something in the background shot with lots of blinking lights and occasional beeps was known as an EBG, or "electronic bullshit grinde…

e.e. cummings was such as asshole :)

A shrub made with Pellegrino + syrupy Balsamic, or apple cider vinegar with a drop of two of stevia - herbs optional - delicious. (and butyrate producing to boot...)

Plug-board wiring!

> ... There are certainly shades of gray in this concept. Not quite dark - wouldn't there be a red room then?

I remember walking into the Computer Factory in Grand Central station in NYC and playing with the Lisa. (Later I did some Smalltalk on the Lisa and the Techtronix.) I still remembe…

Well, if we all ate meat alternatives most of the time and treated ourselves to real meat much less often, we could reduce the density of animals raised for food so that they could…

Thanks for the pointer -- looks like (OCaml/F#)++ with an effect system and some other niceties. I guess I'd rather go that way then enter the Scala effects mire. There are some ob…

Got to watch those 100ft full-wave whip antennas when going under the bridge ;)

Parinfer hits the sweet-spot for me -- you still get the benefits of the parens, but the indentation is still enforced to match, and changing either one causes the other to be upda…

Agreed - he somehow gets the most amazing guests, but it's all un-interesting, softball questions that don't challenge the guest at all, delivered at a glacial pace.

Most things that increase normal cellular growth by stimulating the mtor pathway and IGF production, etc., will also increase abnormal cellular growth - including things like, well…

Sure - you can find many NR and NMN supplements on AMZN for example. NMN has gained popularity over NR, I believe mostly due to longer shelf life. Elysium and TruNiagen are two fam…

Note that this study shows that supplements increase _blood serum_ levels of NAD, not concentrations inside the cell and mitochondria where it counts. So I'd say that without furth…

That CBET signal is oddly alluring. Must kill...

Great stuff! Can't wait for an old-man version that's 15.6", 16" or 17" :)

I'm tired about hearing about the lack of "explainability in AI" when the issue is with deep-learning & non-symbolic AI, the very allure of which to date has been its black-box, ju…
