Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

You'll forgive me, I'm neither lobotmised nor a mathematician.
The poster wants to slop into existance a language for stacking logical statements on top of each other and testing/prooving truthiness but the statements are what? Physics rules?
And once you have this um magic world simulator from first principles (since it would have to be, because the thing about science is we need to do the experiments since we don't know how things work fully) it will somehow stumble onto RTPSC materials?

i'll also note that assembly of reply guys decided that room temperature superconductors will magically solve energy requirements of silicon-based chips (this is not how any of this works)
What's entropy precious?
Once we have superconductors, all computation will immediately switch to relay-based logic
cmos logic still beats it, because main source of heat are switching losses (all these gate + parasitic capacitances being charged and discharged, and some related phenomena). relays store more energy, and that makes situation worse, even if you make them as MEMS
that's just "machine god will figure out relativity from three video frames" in another form
Good God. Sometimes I wonder how small the population that understands all these references and knows all this deep lore and history is. How few people really understand the true nature of this bunch of people and how their ideas have ruined so much. When I go to conferences I get to have 4 hour conversations over beer with astrobiologists explaining how ideas from a blog in 2009 started showing up uncited in their literature 8 years later (when late undergrads who read a blog post start writing papers during their PhDs) and have since completely fucked whole subfields. They are flabbergasted at first, but then they see it, and see the damage done. So few people actually see this.
right? and even then you have to go slow with explanation, otherwise you just sound like a crank
It was kinda wild studying physics while this was starting.
People were getting all these starry-eyed ideas while anyone actually doing well was realising that the future is going to look a lot like the present because god hates us and we're not allowed nice things.
In the TESCREAL lore iceberg, "Aella Sankey chart" is above the waterline.

where does thiel/paypal mafia funding situation, urbit, other fashware and broader reactionary connection (yarvin etc) fit into that
also, that one oral bacteria startup
Fuck, I dunno, I'm ranking these on pure insomnia

what ever happened to them anyway? Probably has tenure by now, hopefully?
Somewhere in the review, they mention having left academia for industry. Hopefully that worked out well for them.
I'm really being tested on my liberation and sex positive values here. Gosh that's a very weird and kinda gross thing to do.
What motivates someone to chart their fetish fulfillment?
Well whatever. I hope people had fun, seems like it must have been very scheduled and regimented though...
"Hey, no kink shaming!"
"But it's... Aella."
"All right. One (1) kink-shaming."
