Quiet is the black paint in the pallet of the musician and film maker. It’s central to things like stoicism, zen buddhism, existentialism, meditation, and mysticism. Taoism iirc, too.

Be glib, but that is one way for society to bring privacy back-and with it shared respect. I think of it as the “oh everyone has an anus” moment. We all know everyone has one and it doesn’t need to be dragged out in polite company.

Makes me wonder. What would it take for Mac the tech to have this sort of feel/appeal again?

Would a full wintel+nvidia gpu daughterboard move any needles? Or something oddball and hardware like the lamp imac, idk.

Basically, computing nowadays feels very well baked and staid at times. Stuff like a unixy subsystem feels experimental in ways computing hasn't in decades.

The no further regulation option is people looking for the “made in …” on goods and not buying from certain countries. Then invoke Milton freedman.

Uhh how about a desktop tower case that takes in some number of their laptop logic boards and provides networking? Think like the “turingpi” motherboard but with an eye towards repurposing old logic boards.

I could see purposes being local storage HA arrays (small scale media firms), perhaps some computational applications (local testing), k8s. Could be a boon for academics who otherwise might be priced out. Like 2k for the tower, less than 1k (old refurb) to 2k per blade. Might be doing something interesting for around 10k.

I’d say existence precedes essence, and meaning is what the living do. If we make efforts to increase the footprint, robustness, and extent of life then we increase that meaning. (Existentialism, but more.)

I mean the actual kernel. But, you know, needs a killer feature people want to deploy at scale.

I could see that affecting the trapezius muscle or nerve endings somehow. That seems to play a large role in many of my migraines. It probably does for others as it’s part of where the botox for migraine shots go.

Ie when the pain shoots up through/along the side of the traps, along the backside of the ear, to the forehead and back of the eye.

Reminds me of pinching the ear lobes during a migraine. That seemed to sort of help but not terribly.

Nowadays nurtec/the cgrp protein inhibitors work wonders. But I’ll consider the piercings too.

Feels a little like rdma or mellanox/ib.

Hey, I’d personally love if something openbsd did got it some wider industrial use.

One of the tragedies to me: nuclear and renewable power could absolutely fulfill and surpass our current energy needs. Pick a per annum growth rate of energy production and go.

At some point power becomes so cheap and plentiful that battery size and tech is essentially solved. Industry eventually gets converted to use electricity as the price would drive emissive processes out. And generally allows the economy to produce and do more.

Like at some point you can live essentially anywhere and thus leave the precious wild places undisturbed. Want water in the desert? Build an aqueduct in and do desalination. Similar for places that are too cold/hot/etc to be habitable or productive.

She and her family were hit by a wrong way truck probably going 70 mph. It completely shattered their bodies, lives and shows how precious our moments are.

This almost feels personal to me because of how well written her account is. I’ve had terrible chronic migraines for as long as i can remember. Apparently they can be associated with brain lesions, too. I’ll clearly never know how they’ve impacted my personality.

They remediate certain superfund sites with spinach leaves iirc. And I think it’s bacteria that make nutrients from inorganic sources available for the rest of us (ie rocks).

As for budget, 10M seems pretty great for what reads as a “proof of concept” level effort. You can buy a farm for ~1M and 9M left over. (They won’t do that I imagine but just to illustrate.)
