Other than AI ideally. I’ve long been fascinated by CRISPR.
Wanna hear about niche tech or anything y’all find fascinating
Fusion power and small modular reactors.
Big one!
In response to you, have you seen GATICA it’s a great movie that shows clearly why that tech scares me.
I think batteries are super interesting, and sodium solid state batteries are a pretty huge innovation, but graphene batteries will be utterly insane if we can get there. Very interesting stuff.
Graphine being a single atom think sheet of carbon, which is dope!
I’m aware of the movie but havent yet seen it. Although I seem to remember someone else brought it up in conversation a while ago now that you mention it.
I’ve heard of innovation in batteries but don’t know what its about. I’m gonna have to research that!
Thanks for that.
I hear this wheel thing is pretty cool. Supposed to be, like, round. Rollin all day long.
Nothing bad could come from that, right? Right?!
On the long-term, none. In the short-term, FOSS no-code tools are finally allowing grassroot organizations to have self-hosted, customizable internal tooling without having to rely on devs or sysadmins. This has a lot of potential to overcome the failures of the last decades of hackerist unadoptable software.
Any Foss no-code tools you’d recommend?
Baserow and n8n are good enough for me to use in a professional production setting. Nocodb could be good, but it has some very basic bugs and shortcomings that make it hard to use.
Appflowy is getting there, but I would give it some more time.
Appsmith is good, but complex. Worth investing some time into, but it cannot be picked up casually to play around.
Now I don’t understand this stuff very well. But I know I like everything FOSS. And I know I like self hosting. So this certainly sounds good
I used to be excited for ai, and, let’s just say, that excitement has dwindeled due to recent events.
I’m scared that the same happens to CRISPR honest
The issue with tech is the economic model its under. I can imagine a million dystopian changes to society.
The doctor in China for example.
Hey maybe China starts creating soldiers with four arms and the us does too and you have a new arms race.
I’m studying biology and CRISPR is a crucial tool for a ton of research. So it’s already really useful!
Which recent events, out of curiosity?
well i guess it’s not too recent, but the A.I. boom kinda killed my interests I’ve had 7 years ago. i wish it would go back to its research phase.
I’m old enough to remember when using computers daily went from a dorky interest to something the cool kids were doing (MySpace etc). Obviously, how the two groups approached computers was quite different. Even how they approached social spaces on the internet.
Idk, haven’t thought about it much but I remember being pretty depleted about being interested back then. The things I was learning with basic coding and stuff could now be done in a couple of clicks, the resources were now more scarce, and the space became filled with money-people interested in promoting their brand
Ah, for sure. That’s how I feel about cell phones. Haha
That’s how I feel about cell phones.
Linux phones might be able to do something about that, assuming they become good enough soonish. Perhaps usable Hurd phones will become available first.
It’s too late.
I mean, I hate how pervasive cell phones are in the culture. I wish we had 90’s tech and used pay phones so people could disconnect.
honestly uterus transplants , from what ive read its actually developing really well :)
