I think that’s a drastic oversimplification.

Impressive project and maybe it's just hubris talking but I think he could have made this a whole lot easier on himself if he built a duplex modem program and implemented something like TCP on top of it rather than trying to raw dog 100MB through a string.
This video feels like a triumph of working harder not smarter.

Sure there are. "Is the universe really billions of years old, or did it pop into existence three seconds ago in its current state including all of your memories?" It's impossible to answer this question scientifically because no empirical test could ever possibly be devised.

Science doesn’t say anything about consciousness because there is no known way to study it empirically. That doesn’t mean we should start accepting metaphysical woo though.

Yes, preserving my own life is worth more to me than passing resources to “future generations”. I’m not having kids anyway.

This blog post takes a lot of words to say “look at how smart I am! there’s no way this could possibly go wrong!”
Maybe it makes me an asshole but I’m rooting for a rates hike or something to give this guy a dose of reality. But I think we all know mummy and daddy would get him out of it.

This bug could only have been introduced after 2000, because if it can't fit a number beginning with 22 it certainly can't fit one beginning with 96.
