#654And, technology to efficiently cut the bonds between atoms in any visualized part of the body.
What would something like this require? What is missing? I would expect this to be the next step after MRI/electron microscopy and gamma knife.
If this existed, we wouldn’t need vaccines for Covid, we would just shoot the bonds of those ... . Also the same cure for cancer cells.

#658Personal server. If there were an open source project that made running server applications (personal blog, email, game server, file backups, mastodon, etc) easy for non-technical people, it would open up whole new use cases (in the same sense there are kinds of software now that wouldn't have made sense before everyone carried around a phone).

It makes books easier to transport in book-sized boxes and book-sized bags too. You can get perfectly-fitting reusable cloth covers to protect…
