Carbohydrates. We can stick a needle in our blood to generate energy for portables.

Are you sure environmental yeast didn’t make its way in there? I’d wager you’d have to bake in the laboratory to prevent other yeast from entering the dough. From the photos it’s on some gingham cloth in someone’s yeasty house.

For what it’s worth, people mined rocks to build the pyramids multiple thousands of years ago. They don’t mine using an army of slaves wielding chisels anymore.

That’s good news!

For what it’s worth you don’t need a mining expert to know that establishing a large scale mining operation will fuck up the local region somewhat.

At the very least, all the demolition and vehicles, fuel, explosives, chemicals.

Shits going to leak into the rivers one way or the other. In addition, they would likely use up a ton of local water supply.

It’s a no-brainer. Maine is not in the middle of some desert.

I don’t think the point of contention is whether it’s recyclable. Primary issue is: what is the local environmental impact of MINING lithium?

For folks who don’t live in Maine it’s a no-brainer: sure, go for it! Bring the USA more domestically produced lithium.

But… mining fucks up entire ecosystems and pollutes water etc… and even if companies can “promise” the operation will be clean, come to implementation they likely walk back on that and the damage is done.

Let’s hope it stays that way. But $1.5B is not a tiny sum and I’m willing to bet the government will bend over backwards to bring a bunch of “jobs” to the area at the expense of all environmental concerns.

Honestly if I can’t trust that a company is delivering a real product or not I’m OUT. That’s a violation of trust. And it’s happened to me multiple times on Amazon—nowhere else.

Sure they can sell more books if open longer, have more resources, etc.

But one thing is for certain: if you buy from a retail store you will actually get the real book, not some cheap fake garbage.

What is IPFS though if not a glimpse of the future? Distributed makes more sense to me and P2P concepts are being heavily researched with all the blockchain hoo-ha!

Do you really mean that?

Well, there again a dangerous label. Communist and “communism” are two different things. Modern communist nations and “The Communist Manifesto” are not the same.

What I was referring to is modern communist nations and their blanket surveillance and content-enforcement of journalism and social networks. One singular content moderation network above all social networks and news organizations.

So, I didn’t literally mean: one book, one news, one social media platform. But if modern communist nations have their fingers all up in every media organization, saying what can and cannot be published, does this not equate to one voice above all else?

A conservative focuses social network is nothing but a singular voice with a political agenda. Able to amplify nonsense at their discretion.

By “conservative” do you mean: one book, one news channel, one social media platform?

I hate terms liberal and conservative they don’t mean anything anymore.

Stop identifying with some label and ask yourself: am I learned? Do I try to understand? Do I empathize? Do I sympathize? Do I produce? Do I consume? Do I consume more than I produce? Do I take action? Do I blame others? Do I litter in the park? Do I take care of myself and others?

If you think about it, communism is all about: one book, one news channel, one social media controlled by the government. How do these “conservatives” who pride themselves patriots think living in a moderated cesspool of misinformation is any better than a government controlled one?

Please don’t forget that these platforms are designed to be addicting.

What you’re suggesting is akin to: “why not smoke occasionally to take the edge off.”

It’s about losing mental focus if you ask me. If you’re an occasional user, your mind is still going to be roped in.

They have an army of scientist who’ve proven these facts already and social media companies exploit us all.

I agree with the idea of establishing deeper connections: but take them offline and have a cup of tea or video chat. There’s simply better options.

Honestly my suggestion is to get rid of all social media. How many hours to master a new skill are wasted away with pointless debates and conversations?

I have been off of social media for years now and I couldn’t go back.

Really, ask yourself if your conversations on social media are yielding something productive to society or if it’s just wasting time.

If you want social, get a group together and meet in person. Go do something.

It’s not about being stupid it’s about their self-interests versus all the folks who live in Arizona and depend on the water supply.

Remember intel’s modus operandi is increasing profits for shareholders.

2-4 million gallons per day is a lot of water to piss away for some chips that go out of fashion in 5 years.

I suppose I mean specific diets like Keto or Gluten-Free are extreme diet concepts and easily unbalanced.

For the “deficiencies”: nutritional yeast for b12, sunlight for d3, hemp seeds for omega 3 oils. All abundant all easy to obtain.

Calcium, iron, and zinc easily obtained in collard greens, kale, spinach, brown rice, whole wheat, etc.

Point being: there should be no deficiencies (including cholesterol) when eating balanced plant foods.

You’ll have to give a source on that because just looking up nutritional value of Kale (one vegetable) I think that’s a tough sell.

In fact kale juice alone is proof milk is not necessary.

“Fat is bad push” has nothing to do with veganism. In fact the opposite: fat is essential. As a vegan I eat tubs and tubs of olives, avocados, cashews, almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts you name it—all loaded in fat.

The “fat is bad” push is a product of the sugar industry and using nutrition labels to sell products to consumers based on fear. And it was an easy sell because people were getting fatter (due to sugar intake and nutrition-devoid white bread).

Which brings me to gluten free: If you think you have gluten intolerance but you don’t swell up when eating whole wheat bread (e.g. no celiac disease), you’re probably eating some crappy off-the-shelf loaf with all kinds of additives.

Gluten free is just as stupid as Keto diets. The only real diet is in balance. It’s real fruits, vegetables, legumes, and other plants. Meat contains MINIMAL nutritional value compared to the plant world.

I just imagine the scramble to get carbon neutral allowing huge carbon-processing factories and then we enter some kind of carbon deficit, back in the same situation we are in—a teetering balance between overconsumption and moderation.

“food wastage” is not a real thing—non consumed food is perfect for composting and many other things. Organic materials literally cannot be wasted it gets 100% recycled.

Single use plastic on the other hand takes the scenic route straight into the ocean…

Well consider all the projects titled “blah blah blah… written in Rust”

Who gives a shit what it’s written in—what does it do?

Hmm yeah that what I’m confusing. I suppose it’s misleading when folks say The Fourth Dimension since it depends on context! But in the case of the article the question becomes how do we visualize four or more dimensions? What the dimensions represent doesn’t necessarily matter unless there’s a specific problem being solved.

I don’t think that works because the N-1 dimension is contained in the N dimension. But all those things described are disjoint. Now you might be able to say, “the mass of all objects in the universe” but is it a dimension? I dunno I’ll leave that to the topologists!

Edit: I think you have to have the similar type of units to increase the dimensions. Like the article talks about N dimensional space (e.g. point, line, plane, etc). To consider what mass of an object would be you’d have 1 dimensional mass; 2D mass; …; ND mass whatever that would be.

The problem with social media sites is their algorithms are focused on profitability. If you follow a local restaurant and then move to another city they will push ads and show content tied to your geolocation (which makes sense—not saying that’s bad per se). But they dictate what you should see and when.

With blogs it used to be about the RSS feed, which had one job: to nudge users when new content is available. But ultimately users (or news aggregators) had control over what the algorithm does.

The problem with blogs as pointed out is content discovery. How can content be discoverable without commercial interests? Social media platforms make content discovery simple and effective. On top of that, the barrier to entry is low—a two or three step on boarding process which is free (as in beer) to-boot.

Anyone know of good content-discovery platforms?

Podcasts are interesting because multiple platforms support them so they exist somewhat in the borderland. Might be an interesting case study being podcast discover ability vs blogs vs social media.

All that being said, I think we simply have to go beyond the first page of search engine results to find the good stuff. Not finding stuff is a form of laziness when we are used to getting a quick info-fix on Wikipedia. But standardized P2P protocols might be nice too—good incentive for a crypto currency?

Hurricane Matilda.

So the workaround is to initialize WASM with an array buffer which allows direct manipulation of the data in WASM it seems. The canvas bytes can be used in WASM so long as the bytes are passed in at initialization.

In that case, JavaScripts only duty is to pack input data into the byte array and pass control to WASM which writes to an output buffer (also shared byte array) and passes control back to JavaScript to process result avoiding an unnecessary data copy.

You’d have to have some types in JS which can process the data using bit shifts and whatnot though in a lower level way.

Hmm I think the answer is that “you don’t”. Unless a module is compiled into WASM that understand the memory representation of the JavaScript runtime the only way for the languages to communicate is at the raw byte array level. The only thing that can be done in that regard is holding pointer/reference to data that will be passed back into JavaScript from WASM.
