nukemandan··on How we can use light to see deep inside our bodies and brains – Mary Lou Jepsen
But if you focus such an intense point focus of light in tissue, could you cause damage? Would a high enough intensity red light be absorbed by blood and damage those cells?

If not damage, could you use this to do targeted stimulation of neurons in the brain?

nukemandan··on How we can use light to see deep inside our bodies and brains – Mary Lou Jepsen
" In a series of mind-bending demos, inventor Mary Lou Jepsen shows how we can use red light to see and stimulate what's inside our bodies and brains. Taking us to the edge of optical physics, Jepsen unveils new technologies that utilize light and sound to track tumors, measure neural activity and could eventually replace the MRI machine with a cheaper, more efficient and wearable system. "

Holography and ultrasound to do visible wavelength deep tissue scans. This is really exciting new tech!

nukemandan··on Power Worth Less Than Zero Spreads as Green Energy Floods the Grid
True- so if you lived in a zone with negative price, then you would throttle your GPUs otherwise and only go full throttle when you literal get paid to use the power. But duty cycle just for that would be low... I would need to look more at the stats. But if full time operation on average over the year was closer to (or less than) $0 for power usage, could you net a profit over the life cycle? I would surely hope so!

Remember that the alternative at the moments is literally pumping that energy into the ground as waste heat. I think that renewable resources otherwise wasted being used for mining instead of that seems like a win-win.
nukemandan··on Plastic recycling is a problem consumers can't solve
What does this mean? REDUCING and REUSING plastic use is critical. Solutions to the recycling problem are poor at best and innovation takes time. Don't just put it in the better looking bin and expect that someone will "figure it out".
nukemandan··on How to be a Manager – A step-by-step guide to leading a team
I agree that a more flat landscape in teams is best. I like "Why good leaders make you feel safe | Simon Sinek" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmyZMtPVodo

Good management is really about good leadership - and that does have a point person to look to. they inspire and motivate everyone else on the team. This is a much more bottom up / equitable than most mainstream practices promote.
