One of the things I'll do in 2026 is try a bit more to understand the things I have experienced on psychedelics If you have not done any yet, you might look at psychedelics like LSD and DMT as just another set of drugs, but just the fact that these chemicals allow your mind to experience things that can't be explained by words should be interesting to you These things can't possibly make you experience something that's not already inside of your mind, but for some reason hidden from you most of the time My plan is to try to give acid to LLMs basically, I'll not explain what I mean by that but I think that's possible. I guess we'll know if my intuition is correct after a few months

Can't believe chip manufacturing is such a centralized process that the entire world is reliant on Taiwan The FOSS spirit is pretty much non existent in the semiconductor world

Sci-fi always shows future space suits as either bulky pressure tanks or mech suits Former NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman developed the BioSuit, which uses mechanical (textile-based) counterpressure instead of the traditional gas-pressurized mini-spacecraft approach Humans live at 1 atm on Earth, but in a pure oxygen environment like a space suit or station, ~0.3 atm is enough. The BioSuit has reached ~0.25 atm in lower body prototypes, close to 0.3 atm in areas like the calves and thighs, although joints are still well below target We are more likely to see something like this with advanced AR and AI integrated helmets in the future IMO
