  • I’d be happy to test on android, I’ll send a DM

    If you make it manage ssh keys on desktop (create new ssh key, give them nicknames, set default key, etc) I would be thrilled. I’ve attempted to make my own, with Tauri specifically, but I just have too many projects.

    I have also come up with a way to compile the keepass crate to WebAssembly

    This is exciting. My only request here is: whenever it works please release a standalone wasm file somewhere (anywhere). So many projects either require building the wasm themselves, or instead of releasing a .wasm, they release a JS wrapper that auto-loads the wasm/wasm-imports. Its a pain to try to extract the wasm out of those projects.











  • Continuing gaming’s long tradition of dumb names for game genres, boomer shooters are first person shooters that don’t use auto-regen health (COD, Halo), in offline they give health frequently from killing enemies (rather exclusively health packs), and they’re designed to be fast paced, usually with a wide FOV, an absurdly high “walk” speed with no run button, and somewhat disorienting or labyrinth-like map style. They’re often offline, but can be multiplayer player-vs-player.

    Even if the game is completely modern: Doom Eternal, Ultrakill, Dusk, Turbo Overkill, etc its still called a boomer shooter.




  • I disagree. Yes there can be good intermediate steps, but deleting slop is not even half as healthy as locking a phone away.

    1. Interruptions

    Not just phone calls or texts, but things like typing an email on the phone and then seeing a text or having the GPS interrupt your train of thought by yelling “Continue straight for 5 miles”. Brains hate interruptions. Those are still going to exist even when the slop is gone.

    1. Resisting a temptation is exhausting. “not eating candy is healthy”… yes but having a candy bowl right next to your desk is exhausting. It takes 2sec to open a twitter link in the browser. Uninstalling an app is like moving the candy bowl to a nearby room, yeah its better, but it only takes 30 sec to reinstall.

    Turning off the dopamine machine (not eating candy) is one thing. But Eddy was showing something a lot bigger than that; deleting his access to the temptation. He didnt know the code to unlock the phone.






  • My guess, 10,000x the cost on CL1. Even with the tech perfected, bio neurons fire much much slower than logic gates and electricity in a circuit board. If you have an ASIC (custom built board that isn’t really using a CPU), the ASIC would be much much faster for deterministic calculations at high speed with an active cooling system.

    Bio neurons are great at self-organizing. If you already know how they need to be organized (e.g. a hashing algorithm), and you need max-speed output there’s no real advantage.

    It’s not wrong to say bio neurons are power efficient, its just that power efficiency depends on what the activity is.


  • Don’t worry all neurons are cage free, grass fed, open range

    For real though, where the neurons come from is as interesting/impressive as the computation itself. The guys at Cortical, at least in prototyping, give blood samples, revert blood cells into a stem cell state, and then (over the course of 6 months) they convert their stem cells into neurons before putting them into a dish. (To be clear, Cortical did not invent the stem cell tech at all. Apparently its standard practice and nobody in the bio engineering world cared to tell the rest of the world.)

    Meaning… You could theoretically build a computer out of your own neurons and then program them.
