It isn't just about bringing a bunch of cells to term. But if you want to oversimplify, why not government fund gestation vat technology? The main blocker for progressing on those right now appear to be self imposed.

Amusingly, I recently learned that Seymour Cray was a hobby tunneler. https://web.archive.org/web/20080521163217/http://www.time.c...

Another shoulder anecdote... I also really appreciated being able to open up my shoulders. I was once amused by a friend that had never seen a split keyboard before - they were mostly delighted with having a place to put their coffee...

I was under the impression that they were initially allowed to produce the drugs since they were on FDA drug shortage lists. As expected, the compounders scaled up their pipelines to meet demand and now that the drugs have been taken off t

Has AWS support gone downhill in the last two years? I've worked with them in the past - as both an individual and a couple startups - I always reached a human. Issues weren't always resolved as quickly as I'd like but resp

I thought the comparison was unfair as well. Physical libraries also tend to be the defacto life help desk for a lot of people out there.

Thanks for mentioning this. I didn't realize Intuit sold it off to private equity in 2016.

DARPA funded a bit in this space a while ago. (Example: https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2011/01/darpa-maskless-nanowri... ) I'm not sure how you get over the bandwidth limitations, even with multi-beam.

From what I understand, this does not actually affect Google. They were already amortizing their R and D expenses. Over long time scales (and big company revenue streams), this is sort of a wash. I think this hurts startups a bit more due

Still waiting for basalt rebar to become more of a thing. This version plays to the steel industry at least?

Microsoft had/has the Natick project which was an undersea data center testbed which allegedly had a bunch of benefits. That doesn't seem to have gone anywhere - or at least isn't really scaling up. I'd imagine the ong

Meta's more open models aside, are the other copyright abusers giving out their model for free?

There are funds that trade on the rebalancing and entrances/exits of individual stocks from the indexes. While this may offer some yield, you can still get pulled under the bus by large scale movement in the markets... as seen recentl

If this ever stops working for you, try one of the magnesium mixes like MagTech.

While you have documentation about migrating to your platform, you don't seem to have any documented promises around export and leaving your service. Also, it seems a bit odd to me that the "balance sheet" ability is two non-

I ended up buying a couple strings of Twinkly lights a while back - after considering a diy solution. The mobile app has been solid and (assuming they didn't muck it up) there's are libraries out there for interfacing to them as

Not to hijack but last time I was setting up wireguard, I found this site to be super useful: https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2020/10/wireguard-topolog...

While I agree that development has gotten more complex (often unnecessarily), compared to the 90s, the sheer number of potential consumers now available seems hard to justify complaining about.

When I looked into this the numbers suggested that energy-wise we'd be extracting a drop in the bucket. There are concerns for local effects though (e.g. earthquakes).

I regularly worry that one of the biggest benefits of LLMs for corporations is being able to obfuscate their editorial decisions.

I assume that some of the doomsaying perspective comes from operating under the assumption that Congress will be about as functional as it has been lately and not actually get around to explicitly delegating.

From what I understand, commercial real estate is also going through some devaluing so maybe those rents should be going in the other direction? This seems like a last ditch attempt to keep things together long enough until rates come do

I had a similar experience and was left wondering whether I could add progressively larger units of work to the alarm clock task to get things done while still "asleep". :)

Related to preventing value getting shoveled into the void, I was reading an article about tax write offs for movies that were never released - even though they were basically done. The fun suggestion someone had was that the movies be rel

I believe that some retailer special interest group put out some numbers that did not support any real increase in shoplifting/shrinkage. Initially they made a claim otherwise but they ended up backpedaling. Oddly, the numbers around
