Hyperion series. That thing’s gonna be hard to adapt though.

And silicons’ nowhere near as energy efficient as biological neurons. There needs to be a massive energy breakthrough like fusion or actual biological processors becoming a thing to see any significant improvements.

Can’t help but think of it as a scheme to steal the consumers’ compute time and offload AI training to their hardware…

Natural body, except healthier. No dry eyes, no stomach problems, no nerve problems in shoulders and legs.

May be Maximum the Hormone. They’re probably pretty big in Japan though.

Skyler White. I didn’t even know that she was hated quite a lot. I always thought she is actually the most sane person given the situation she’s in.

Pretty sure it’s this youtuber called Pro Home Cook. He and his brother used to do home recipes with limited pantry size and tools. But he got too big and started doing fermentation, sprouting, brewing and gardening.

My wife’s impressed though, may be a little…

But she’s also a programmer.

Oh yeah… The Fall, American Gods, Sex Education. She just kept getting more and more gorgeous.

Lobotomize them after buying.

Ballmer’s microsoft atleast had some pride not to pester their users this way…

There used to be a post socialist era mindset that people from my country used to have back in the 90s. It’s simply that if you have to advertise for your product, it’s probably bad. And overprized because you were spending money on ads. I remember the older generation specifically bought unadvertised products recommended by people they knew.

If you haven’t done any Clojure, may be Elixir?

One of the iffey feelings I have reading three-body series, even though it’s a pretty dark series that also highlight the dark side of humanity, is that the world superpowers were somewhat effecticely cooperative. May be if Liu Cixin wrote the book around Covid, it might be quite different.

Another aspect to consider is the term " invention is the mother of necessity" coined by Jared Diamon, in contrast to " neccessity is the mother of invension". A lot of technology either get discarded or used for something that the technology wasn’t originally intended. Hence the idea that inventions come first and the necessity for them follows later. Targetes technological innovation tenda to be very expensive and involves a lot of trial/error.

I believe this phenomenum doesn’t just apply to big innovations and inventions. It also applies to day to day problem solving and in your case, choosing the right technology for your work. Without prior experience and established norm, a technology that might completely makes sense to you for a certain kind of work, might not pan out in actual use.

We’re like oompa loompas to their willy wonka complex.

I just checked the name. It’s nwg-shell. Last time I tried was around 8-10 months ago, I think and it was still rough around the edges. Seems to have matured quite a bit.

I also wish for a complete desktop environment with workspace semantics of tiling wms. Someone’s actually building one out of sway, I remember. Don’t remember the name though.

I don’t get it. Wouldn’t mocking short people be the opposite of woke?
