If you still want it to render pages, you should go with a Firefox derivative. I'm not sure how minimal you can get while still doing that correctly most of the time. Maybe you could clarify a bit?

In terms of engineering, it does. Micro meteorite protection and heat management can both be provided by normal garments. UV protection is obviously easy enough too. Breathing gas is a bit less convenient, but still not as tricky as making a suit that's both rigid enough to reliably hold several PSI in and flexible enough to comfortably work in. That's why the elastic suits are being researched like they are.

... That's actually a good point. I'm guessing since the digestive tract is flexible and isn't held open to the outside all the time, it wouldn't cause problems with things deep inside. I also think it's inevitable that if you did shit yourself in it, suction would kick in at some point and make it all a bit more dramatic. And then it would boil-freeze off into space, and be icy cold. That might still be better than pooping a sealed space suit, though.

Generally, it's envisioned as being a lot like now, but with no classes, and people making and remaking the rules on the fly rather than having set laws and set authorities. No laws, no government, but not no rules.

Which version? If all you need is an uncoordinated, dopey person, I'm right here. /s

If undeath is required, no. It's not even a concept that makes much sense without mind-body dualism, which is all but ruled out scientifically.

Thank you for this enlightening post. I'm truly better for it. (/s, non-salty)

Sadly, that sounds like them.

So based on the abstract, they use a multiple small fields of view, each of which crosses a star at different times, instead of one main one. They can then correlate anything unusual they find with which stars are in the field of view. Nifty.

The website blocks me, but assuming this is about a system that allows a worker to do manual labour at a distance, it might be the most interesting use case for robotics right now. AI struggles really bad with complex physical environments - even the most controlled, public roadways, have proven to be a research money pit. There's no reason you couldn't just transmit human movements to a robot with similar mechanical capacities, though, and sensory information the other way. The acronym makes it sound like that's what this is.

Well, that's a bit of a salty tangent, but yeah, I guess they could take a class warfare sort of line on it. The other classical options are going full luddite, or just blaming a minority. Maybe they'll come up with something new, because I have trouble picturing laid off creatives spouting any of these.

Right now, I think people are firmly in the denial stage. For whatever reason the thread isn't federating properly for me, but on beehaw I can see others in here saying human exceptionalism stuff, which is kind of not in accordance with science.

Expect a lot more "white collar workers laid off due to AI" posts coming. I wonder how long it will take for a (very well resourced, those are status-y jobs) movement to form in response.

Exactly my thought. The article seems like a good general overview of emerging trends, though. This is the first I've heard of backside power delivery.
