I'd be grateful if you could notify me when you release what you're working on. Email is in profile. Thank you :)

> Is it "simple coincidence" that "conspiracy theories" almost always come true? That's quite a statement to make. In no way do "conspiracy theories almost always come true."

I read Permutation City a year or two ago, so bear with me. I believe they run the computation on physical computers so that the people running in the simulation can, at any point, check if their reality is a descendant of the initial garde

Not really, if the user wants they can post their location, credit card number, etc online. They stand between themselves and their own exploitation. Removing apis doesn't change that.

It's a shame that Firefox has said they won't implement many of these. The Bluetooth and USB apis would legitimately be really useful. I'm not sure the privacy issues really matter if there's a dialog that the website is

I'm not sure OpenGL will ever be deprecated, but it's always been a pretty awful and very complex api.

Can you be clearer about what’s going on behind the scenes here? Additionally, are you aware of the humanityplus and ##hplusroadmap communities?

3080 ($700) apparently has 238 teraflops of "tensor compute." We're frighteningly close to a petaflop of compute for less than a thousand usd.

The rendering backend is a work in progress. In the near term, it'll let you use several levels of rendering abstraction, down to wgpu, which is what it currently uses, and eventually vulkan as well. At the very least, you should move

There's going to be an editor, but these things take time.

Perhaps stagnation is due to experience, perhaps it's due to accumulated, age-related brain damage. I doubt we'll know until people do live hundreds or thousands of years. Surely you can be a beginner again. Pick something you&#x2

I have no idea, I'm not a scientist, I'm just a transhumanist.

I can't say I understand this viewpoint. If you feel you're going to become an agent of stagnation, as you put it, simply put effort into not stagnating.

The whole point of this is to be able to extend your healthspan, not just your lifespan. This includes age "reversal" and maintenance. A complete solution does not leave you in your 80s, it leaves you in your 20s indefinitely.

I do want to live in a world where people can take as much time as they want! I'm 20 years old, and there already isn't enough time to do everything I want to do. I also disagree that increased longevity will lead to a stagnant so

Never understood why so many people are so vehemently against anti-aging sentiments. Are they in denial about their own, current mortality?

WebBundles would be great for distributing applications to users as a single, well, bundle.

Thank you for commenting here Steve. The fallout from the layoffs is possibly quite harrowing but, from my biased point of view, this may be a watershed moment for Rust. It'll have to expand beyond its incubating organization. (And don

Whoa, that's a well designed ISA.

The rust std library doesn't hide allocations at all. It's very explicit.

Any chance of being able to host on my own server?

I'm building cad software for designing atomically precise objects. I don't expect atomically precise manufacturing (at least in the form of molecular nanotechnology) to show up for at least a decade or two. But the software to de

This is essentially the iterator trait, right?

I love thinking about ideas like this. A few years back, I wrote a kernel that ran wasm similar to how Closos would run lisp. Webassembly is perhaps a bit uninspired compared to lisp, but there are many advantages, although the system canno

I must be quite confused then, but how is free will not linked to determinism?

Moore's law isn't dead yet, we've got quite a ways to go. There are feasible paths to 1cm³ processors with billions of cores and enough processing power to host thousands of humans minds.
