Recent but great talk posted here, What Bodies Think About: Bioelectric Computation Outside the Nervous System [1] by Prof. Michael Levin. He talks about how long term low energy electrical networks between all cells in living organisms shape how the organism grows. I think what he talks about will be the future of medicine as it allows for an amazing degree of high level control over how animals grow. 1. https://www…

I meant a never ending stream of sophisticated ideas and precise data that leads nowhere. I used to watch every interview of the guy[1] and .. I always left the video empty minded. [1] he seemed to have human values and of course knowledge about the topic
Ok, we're going down a rabbit hole here, but just to clarify, you meant "pub talk" as in the kind of conversation people have at a pub after a few beers? Or "public talk" as in a public speech, as nikofeyn suggested?

Also really dug Jeremy Rifkin's The Third Industrial Revolution: A Radical New Sharing Economy. Outlines the rollout of a possible new engineering platform consisting of free energy, satellite internet, and AI.

There are probably more I might add later as I remember them.

what good does it do pointing that out, if it's even true? it's clear they meant articulate and public.
“Pub talk” is a thing, and “can’t discern from overengineered pub talk” makes sense. “Can’t discern from overengineered public talk” is plausible, but it would be very unusual to phrase it that way. It’s not really clear that he meant "public."

Would not surprise me. It is my understanding that not a lot of people that actually understand how the EU works are pro EU at this point...
Source please? What are you basing this on?

>that a function of Maybe a should be a function of a without an API change is neither intuitive to me nor really justified by Hickey He spent many minutes motivating it. If you support some functionality to a client (as a library, or a service, or more abstractly), and then later want to relax the constraints that you require from those clients, this should be an acceptable change that they shouldn't have to worry a…
His argument for spurious API breakage is strictly logically correct, but seems practically dubious to me. When have you ever had to unnecessarily break API compatibility because something you thought was an Option[T] result turned out to be really a T, always? Maybe I'm wrong and someone will post some convincing examples, but I currently don't see this as a problem that needs solving. Union Types don't compose stra…
