HARD SciFi Futurism: Do you know of any sources speculating about advanced bio-technology as a replacement for silicon compute?

  • Night’s Dawn Trilogy, Peter F Hamilton. Better than his later stuff in my opinion

    • Has exercise helped your mental health?

    Jump

  • I have family members who suffer from several mental health issues - depression, anxiety and related. They have all found exercise helpful. Doesn’t really matter what kind- yoga, cross fit, swimming, running - just establish a routine, do it a few times a week. It made a big difference for them (or going for a walk - what ever works for your fitness/health level)

    • Republican bill would let AZ ranchers shoot and kill border-crossers on their property

  • Points for reading!

    • Air Canada must honor refund policy invented by airline’s chatbot

  • Not a good summary

  • I nearly threw out a pixel 3 thinking the usb c port had worn out- in fact it had just got gummed up with fluff. A quick dig around with a pin (no shorting risk - checked) got it all and restored the port. Phone still going strong, but I do need to that about once a year

  • A great channel- they’re all worth your time

    • IAMA AMA Tech AMA

  • Hot!

    • AIBI For throwing away my human coworker's lunch?

    Jump

  • No, you’re protecting the health of your fellow crew. It’s all fun and games till until it becomes mobile, irate and hungry

    • Gaslight me harder, please.

    Jump

  • There are a lot of bits of my job enjoy, when I retire I shall just putter about and spend some time doing those bits and get paid less money for doing it

    • Retiring House Republican says $174,000 isn't enough money for members of Congress: 'Most of us don't have wealth'

    Jump

  • It’s about the market I’m afraid - someone with the attributes necessary to be an effective politician is likely to be able to use those skills to get a top management job in a big company and earn > 200k easily. If the gap between that and the politicians salary is too great then the only people who become politicians will have other strong other motives, which may be noble, but are often narcissistic or corrupt.

    • The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion

    Jump

  • WH40K Rogue Trader. It’s pretty good if you like that kind of thing. ‘Campaign’ bit of the campaign is significantly better that WOTR in my opinion

    • Spider-Cat

  • Bang on, the Pacific is not 250 miles deep…

  • And that’s why I subscribe to Private Eye even though I rarely have the energy to read it

    • Brotato is a roguelite where you play a potato wielding WEAPONS to fight off hordes of aliens. Choose from a variety of traits and items to create unique builds and survive until help arrives.

    Jump

  • Unless your playing unlimited a run ends around round 18 iirc. Takes about 30 minutes

    • Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

    Jump

  • Very informative- thank you

    • People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office

    Jump

  • It’s not outsourcing if they’re employed by your company, just remote working - they’ll be the employee and the company can care for them as much. They’ll just be more productive because of lower cost of living where they happen to live. If your job can be done fine 100% why would they ever change it back? Remote working isn’t the same as insource/outsource

    • People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office

    Jump

  • Exactly - it’s the calibre and competence - and implicit in your comment is the idea the person from India isn’t as good. This isn’t my experience- I know plenty of amazing engineers from India. And it’s not outsourcing if they’re employed by the company- it’s just the job currently done by you.

    • People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office

    Jump

  • If your job really can be done as well 100% from home (as many people insist) then you’ve got a problem - because that means it can be done as well 100% from home by some onefrom India or similar and they’ll be cheaper. Be careful what you wish for.

    I’m of the view that actually this isn’t true for a lot of jobs, particular anything that involves interacting in a team, just people wish it was.
