Cole Hudson The attempt to get physicists to use constructor theory has the same energy as the push towards geometric algebra in the gaming industry. There's an analog with functional programming here too, does not imply the same dynamics however

Cole Hudson I'm somewhat surprised you can't yet collateralize a twitter account. More so that twitter isn't the one on the backend of that transaction. Which would let them set up a market for twitter accounts, so you could speculate on account value. Truly makes twitter seem undercapitalized in the same way, say, Nicaragua is. It would be cool if anyone could take out a loan on their Twitter account, might give lots of people more access to capital than currently can.

Cole Hudson Was curious about blind, somewhat useful but many of the people on that app are tremendously mean. What's lost by being helpful and kind?

Cole Hudson Today I learned that, much like pilots have a specific way of saying letters to more clearly distinguish each sound through static (e.g. Tango, Lima etc.), architects have developed their own lettering format to disambiguate between letters. Interesting how fields develop custom communication protocols to deal with noise in their given medium.

Cole Hudson The correlation between a project being a grift and it being run by the child of someone who made their money in the 90s tech boom seems to be nearly 1. I mean, I suppose there isn't much wrong with sinking money into something your kid wants to do, but these projects seem little more than attempts at justifying a life-style and laundering status

Cole Hudson the lesbian masterdoc continues to fascinate both as a cultural artifact on its own and by its outsized impact. strong sense itll be retained and passed along in some form, if not the original

😃 Javier Fascinating. The average bypass surgery in the USA is 123K DLLS. With insurance people here end with a 40K 50K dollar tab on you way out of the Hospital. Hopefully the DaVinci machine brings the price down.
Cole Hudson Indeed, a possible future: a low-cost MRI or CT-scan creates a virtual representation of some part of your body, you or a specialist (that could incidentally be remote in time and/or place) performs some task, say surgery, on the virtual body until a successful sequence of steps is found. The system records while you debug and carries out the finalized procedure on the real body. Lots of interesting things to do with a platform sitting between the surgeon and the patient.

Cole Hudson This is fairly fascinating: youtu.be/_WsgJznDV.... To me this implies that non-professional, or even pre-programmed surgery is right around the corner. pretty cyberpunk actually
