@futzle I feel like generative protein design folks should be challenged to make an enzyme that can manufacture sheets of diamond at room temperature so we can get closer to #diamondage #nealstephenson

@AkaSci
#NealStephenson the #SciFi author makes some use of them in his large interesting novel #Anathem

Which also has some echoes of what, perhaps, scientists might consider around this period of Administration of the USA.

#SciFi #NealStephenson introduced the idea of a program run on many distributed nodes to optimise orbits and the manoeuvres to avoid collisions, called it Perambulator and for plot purposes gave it a very long span of use.

An entertaining book.

Neal Stephenson spins a yarn about the mystical, near-fantasy world of command lines, where Apple and Microsoft are portrayed as tech sorcerers. 🧙‍♂️✨ Who knew selling invisible software could be more magical than selling blinking boxes? 💾🔮

Neal Stephenson's "Termination Shock" started out really good but it's really bogging down. If it doesn't pick up soon this may be a did-not-finish.

I'm listening to it on audiobook.

Die #maschinelleÜbersetzung – eine reine Lachnummer: So war es bis vor Kurzem. Doch wie weit wir in ein paar Jahren gekommen sind, zeigt mein äusserst fieses Experiment: Übersetzungen, die sowohl #Asterix als auch #NealStephenson erblassen lassen. #clickomaniach

I am excited by what genetics could do. I greatly enjoyed #Seveneves "a science fiction novel by #NealStephenson published in 2015. The story tells of the desperate efforts to preserve Homo sapiens in the wake of apocalyptic events on Earth" en.mwikipedia.org/wiki/Seveneves

Famous people walk a fine line with Facebook- on one hand. I'm sure they don't want to be their, on the other if they don't occupy a space there, they leave themselves up and for some fake scammer. A daily reminder, as if you needed one, that Facebook sucks.

🚀 Oh no, #Meta suspended the account of the #cyberpunk oracle himself, Neal Stephenson! 📴 But don't worry, folks—just disable the #privacy extensions you use to protect yourself from Big Tech and everything will be hunky-dory again. 😂🔍

Contemporaries of writers have a bonus – you can ask them what they think about the evolution of their ideas. 30 years ago, Stephenson mused about the future of education in "The Diamond Age", and now he comments on this topic in a short essay. #NealStephenson #Education #FutureOfEducation

@WellsiteGeo I think there was a lot of handwaving about energy.
#NealStephenson 's #Earthsuit s in Termination Shock sound closely adjacent to real, and nearly current though, not least by being incremental and modular. And Li cells have risen to the load.
