mrfusion··on Proposed bill would shorten California workweek to 32 hours
I really feel like work would be quite tolerable at 4 days a week. 5 days plus commute has always felt suffocating to me.
mrfusion··on The only thing we should be talking about is the climate crisis
I’m a full on believer. I even own an EV but I think this alarmism is just making people numb.

I think there’s a whole generation out there that never read “the boy who cried wolf”.

mrfusion··on Is It Time to Revisit the Keystone XL Pipeline?
Why not a compromise and build a continental bike trail and parkland along the entire pipeline?
mrfusion··on Buffereditor – Code and Text Editor for iPhone, iPad and iPad Pro
I wrote a program on the iPhone once using Pythonista. It was a little slower to type but I found it kind of revolutionary.

I started writing it on the couch while watching tv, then finished it lying in bed. It was just such a relaxed experience compared to sitting up straight at a desk and forcing myself to write. It’s hard to describe.

mrfusion··on Newly Measured Particle Seems Heavy Enough to Break Known Physics
Could this be what the Higgs or dark matter is?
mrfusion··on FAA, do your damn job
A lot of small airports are smack in the middle of residential or other populated areas.
mrfusion··on GhostSCAD: Marrying OpenSCAD and Golang
The prolog thing sounds brilliant but I can’t quite see how it would work. Any insight?
mrfusion··on IPCC’s starkest message yet: extreme steps needed to avert climate disaster
Did you know the UN also warned in 2005 that man-made global warming would so decimate coastal areas as well as the Caribbean and Pacific islands that there would be upwards of 50 million “climate refugees by 2010.”

mrfusion··on Dall-E 2
Is this bringing us closer to combining image and language understanding within one model?
mrfusion··on Elon Musk to join Twitter’s board of directors
Open discussion isn’t an ideology. It’s all ideologies.
mrfusion··on Elon Musk owns 9.2% of Twitter
Everyone has good and bad attributes. If you’re expecting anyone to be 100% good you’ll be disappointed.

I’m still a fan because he seems about 90% right on his opinions and he’s doing amazing work.

mrfusion··on Transformers for software engineers
You should mention that you’re using rust. I got distracted trying I figure out what language you were using.
mrfusion··on Transformers for software engineers
Python would be awesome!
mrfusion··on Are toxoplasma-infected subjects more attractive than non-infected ones?
Toxoplasma are kinda like the Gould. Can they help us heal too?
mrfusion··on Are toxoplasma-infected subjects more attractive than non-infected ones?
/s?
mrfusion··on Amazon workers on Staten Island vote to unionize
It’s easy enough to simply raise the income cap though to shore it up.
mrfusion··on Impulse Space is betting on a future where launch is cheap
Any idea what technology this might use for propulsion?
mrfusion··on Ask HN: Is Facebook Dying?
> most of my social activity occurs on Discord.

Explain like I’m 60? How do you use it?

mrfusion··on Shadow credit score could decide whether you get an apartment
It does a whole lot more than that, brother. Consumers are allowed to correct inaccuracies for one.

mrfusion··on Shadow credit score could decide whether you get an apartment
The FCRA was designed to prevent this kind of thing. I wonder how they get around it?
mrfusion··on Ask HN: Software with biggest potential for positive impact in 5 years?
I think tutoring software designed on a tictoc like platform. It would hit all your dopamine centers and keep you engaged but actually teaches you a whole field in micro lessons.

(Feel free to steal this idea)

mrfusion··on Ask HN: How do you define the singularity?
What if technological problems we haven’t solved yet are exponentially hard and even rapidly self improving AI would still barely make a dent in them?

Then boom, no singularity.

mrfusion··on New type of ultraviolet light makes indoor air as safe as outdoors
Don’t forget that we actually need exposure to germs to train our immune systems. We don’t want to overdo sanitizing everything.

Look up the hygiene hypothesis.

mrfusion··on Axial-Flux Motor with a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
Thanks. That makes sense.
mrfusion··on Axial-Flux Motor with a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
Is there anywhere that explains how a traditional electrostatic motor works?
mrfusion··on Axial-Flux Motor with a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
That’s a great explanation. I wonder if anyone has looked at using materials other than air between the parts?
mrfusion··on Axial-Flux Motor with a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
How light could we make a motor that worked on electric fields instead of magnetic fields?
mrfusion··on Axial-Flux Motor with a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
Off topic but I just learned how an induction motor works. It’s basically just making eddy currents and pushing them around. So weird.
mrfusion··on Ask HN: If you used to be socially awkward and shy, how did you improve?
Bonus idea: Have a prop whenever you can. I saw a guy at party bring a Rubix cube and you wouldn’t believe how many people came up to talk to him. Instant ice breaker.

What are some of your ideas for props?

How does this not cause side effects if it blocks the cells ability to process vitamin A?
