I no longer understand computers, what they’re for, how they work, or what people do with them.

I want to live in a cabin far away from people with a Commodore 64 and a CB radio.

I think there’s a movie about this.

Keep coping. You sound like a child with your “a very unscientific statement”.

Religion is a delusion. They can’t all be right. Science your way out of that.

Religion is a mental illness and should disqualify people from anything higher than a garbageman.

You can spend 1 millisecond away from your tsunami of AI sludge!?

By being a vacuum tube with a metal target, much like an X-ray tube.

Religion is a mental illness.

It’s impolite.

Are you 60+?

Incorrect. The X-rays from old TVs came from the HV rectifier, in the back of the set.

They are in the tube. Unless you are in the tube as well, I fail to see the problem. Do you also consider static electricity discharges radioactive?

radioactive??

I kinda miss the beefy boys that came with detachable USB cables and their own power supplies.

I had an external SCSI CD-ROM drive that used caddies and had physical buttons on it, I used it for a long time as a CD player. It ran off 120.

Probably a mouse driver these days.

We break the rules, you follow the orders, Citizen!

US consumes 20 million barrels a day. What, exactly, do you think this little blip of a train will change to that?

Could you, though? Do you realize the level of knowledge, work, and risk that entailed?

Unless you’ve actually done it and survived without external inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, emergency food, tools… what do you know about growing your own food?

You’re living in a fantasy world.

But you do understand that money makes other people grow your food, right?

It’s a good time to be a sick mouse.

Religion is a mental illness.

I think I may not have written my comment in the most coherent way possible.

My first sentence was a reply to “nanotechnology”. It’s one of these sci-fi technologies that simply can’t happen. You won’t suddenly have atomic-scale supercomputers floating around being able to somehow unravel DNA AND have the capacity to edit it.

It’s just not how matter behaves at those scales.

My second sentence still stands. I do agree that some kind of large scale data attack to the problem will help.

But the solutions won’t be magical “Fantastic Voyage” nanorobots shooting Ant Man lasers at cells.

It will likely be a whole panoply of attacks on cancer cells, cis-platin with special spike proteins that need all kinds of external inputs to work (you’re not downloading them and 3D printing that), or some other cancers may respond to pumped-up antibodies.

etc

I do hope that our new data processing heavy-lifters will also help with anti-aging and life extension.

ya feel me?
