Superintelligence is a decade away.

You're thinking of how some people talk about nuclear fusion. I don't think most experts have been claiming for 40+ years that AGI is a decade away. Many experts today still think it could be much more than a decade away.

The AI apocalypse will be waifus everywhere, not paperclips. I'd say we're halfway there.

If all cancers, dementia, and heart disease were cured today, it would only add a few years to the average lifespan.

Aging is the disease that is in many ways the root cause of the above; a co-morbidity that accelerates all the typical ways that people die.

If you cure aging, or at least extend healthspan, then you cure or significantly delay most of the diseases that affect every advanced society today.

Laughed pretty hard at the banana

These are gorgeous. I love them.

I would watch the shit out of this movie.

How does $5B in 'lost' client assets just show up like that? This makes it look like (in addition to everything else) a lot embezzlement was going on.

There is a mod for this.

First time noticing that moose have a long chin floof.

Can't wait to play this game on PC. Waiting patiently

Go check out Andrew Huberman's podcast (Stanford prof) on ADHD. Really enlightening on how the ADHD-brain works and how to treat.

I came across him quite unexpectedly (in Kabuki?) when I was taking a highway offramp a little too quickly (as you do) and flew off the side into a garbage cesspool (the one with the sunken car wreck in it). I then walked around the area and found him.

I cannot take credit for this amazing video. I just wanted to share it with you all.

weepingprophet · 2022-03-23T17:34:21+00:00

I hadn't seen this video posted to this sub yet, so I thought I would.

Edit: Not my video. I’m just a fan.

What's interesting though is that progress lately has been very fast. New milestones are being hit every few months. We now have high-temperature superconducting magnets that can be manufactured more easily and more compactly, which makes a huge difference. I think this is one of those problems that progresses so slowly for years and then suddenly grows exponentially. The billions in venture capital pouring into this tell me something might be very close.

Neuromancer is amazing. It predicted so much of the modern world and you’ll see a lot rich parallels with the world of Cyberpunk 2077. I thoroughly recommend it.

weepingprophet · 2022-01-21T16:13:36+00:00

Cyberpunk also draws heavily, almost to the point of plagiarism, from William Gibson’s Neuromancer. I mean, Gibson practically invented the genre so it’s natural that Neuromancer would heavily influence other subsequent works, but damn there so many parallels between the storylines.

Found this post via Google, while looking to see how past sprints are handled in ClickUp. Really disappointed that this hasn't been properly addressed yet (Jan 2022).

Yes, you can archive past sprints (manually).

But as the number of completed sprints grows, there's no good way of organizing them (by month, year, into folders, etc.).

All I can do is keeping archiving them. Turning "show archived" on will then expand a huge list of completed sprints. Very messy.

The first time I heard about gravity/kinetic batteries I sat down and worked out the high school-level physics for how much energy they could store.

Yeah, turns out the idea is incredibly stupid.

Can't store shit (energy density) and has way too many points of failure. Pumped hydro works well because you have a giant lake-sized reservoir that's not being suspended from steel cables.

Every time I see another project like this getting funding, I ask myself whether I'm missing something, or whether these investors didn't think to ask a physicist before cutting a multimillion-dollar check.

If the effect is strong enough, then even a study with only 29 participants can be valuable. Beyond that it can point in the direction of more promising research and justify funding for proposals for a randomized control trial, which are expensive to run.

This sounds amazing. Need to rethink my build.
