Personally I get immense enjoyment out of not doing anything useful, especially not on a big scale. So if I were to accidentally "make it big", I'd most likely not do it again and keep enjoying the small inconsequential thing

Clearly the ecosystem is far from collapse while we're in the middle of a rapid human-caused mass-extinction. What kind of propaganda are you smoking, bro.

Corporations can be regarded as AI agents with misaligned goals. In a bit over a century this has resulted in damage to the climate and Earth's ecosystem that is threatening the survival of our civilization. And that's just slow,

You might be right and my 95% was a bit off. But the main point is that 80-85% being sustainable for only 30s might only be the case for someone who is in absolutely terrible shape.

That doesn't sound right. Even 95% of max heart rate is sustainable for a long, long time. Intervals one can only sustain for 30s are way above VO2max intensity deep in the anaerobic zone. Heart rate pretty much maxes out on those.

No, that's not about sugar. The body needs glucose to function. It is produced from carbs (and other sources) in your food.

Just get used to being hungry and your stomach being empty. You don't need to do anything when you're hungry, you won't starve.

Most networks support leaving memos to registered users when they're offline. So IRC does have that functionality.

Since it's everything but random, given the strong, strong selection pressure, what you wrote misses the point completely. And the argument based on that is completely meaningless as well.

This article is about psilocybin mushrooms though, not whatever abusable substances you're talking about.

That's the problem we're talking about. It is very feasible but only if performance and energy use is something you want to focus on, while accepting the economic penalty of not prioritizing time-to-market. This is just yet anot

In a modern compiled language and without using ten layers of abstraction. It is very feasible and does not require significantly more development effort, at least not compared to the energy and material savings.

JS is the most popular language. Thus most software is wasting orders of magnitude more energy than it should. The same functionality would require less than a tenth of processing power (and thus energy and physical hardware) if it were imp

Because that is indeed a very effective approach. In a game where rules can be broken or warped to suit your goals, doing so is a smart move. Just like in life, where rules don't actually exist.

I'm really liking it so far. I was able to find some obscure stuff that google failed me on with image search, using rather ridiculous queries. A few random searches also returned more relevant results on the first page. Will definitel

And that's why tech people don't really care about Apple. No wonder Apple devices are so unpopular in these circles here.

The way the C++ code looks makes me think that the language wasn't designed with this in mind. Modern programming concepts are really stretching the syntax of older languages to the point that there is just too much noise that is distr

What I took from this post, is that we should keep working on compilers. They could provably optimize away most of the performance issues and move us closer to doing category theory instead of dealing with the metal.

Incorrect. Thanks to the ability of the US to project conventional force, they have deployed troops in Eastern Europe, the Baltic and the Black seas, thus stopping any further Russian aggression. This could only be done through a show of fo

As a German I'm really glad about that. Germany is still not capable to act on its own. We're lucky the US are willing to hold us up while taking all the PR flak.
