Really interesting idea. But breathomics seems tricky — breath signatures can shift with diet, time of day, stress, exercise, even the room you’re in. How do you think a stable baseline could be built across people (or even within one person) without very tight controls? Could this avoid the pitfalls that stalled other non-invasive diagnostics like urine or saliva tests?


Pretty wild to see how the DOE labs certify the stockpile without live testing anymore, just layers of modeling, diagnostics, and some very calculated inference.



Oh, I haven't watched that before.


Is there a material that would be better than graphene at surviving a particle beam?


LANL’s particle accelerator shuts down about every 28 days because a tiny tungsten filament burns out under heat, cesium, and ion bombardment. Researchers are testing graphene coatings—atomic-scale “armor”—to keep it running longer.

I would love to hear if you think this kind of nano-protection could be generalized to other extreme environments (fusion, space, etc).


Disappointing - I was expecting it to be that some system time was overflowing on a 50-year-old computer.


I thought it was going to be the moon.


Instructions on how to build an Meshtastic TC2|BBS running on a femtofox board, which requires like power than a Pi. Perfect for solar.


I'm in the process of building a solar powered Meshastic BBS running TC2|BBS on Femtofox/foxbuntu.

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention the Femtofox board.

My use case is emergency preparedness communications, but I'm still pondering the implications of an off grid low bandwith communcations network.

What do you think the future of meshtastic+bbs is?


AI isn't just for practitioners and researchers.

You're going to cringe when you hear this, but a week ago I uploaded recent lab results to ChatGPT, and received a thorough reviews of the results. Then I asked if there was a connection between my labs and a medical issue a sibling of mine is having. It clearly outlined how they weren't related and provided prompts for me to ask my doctor as a follow up.

Of course, I should verify everything from CGPT (and I shouldn't share my labs with it), but medicinal AI seems like it could soon be a game changer for patients.
