premixed, ready to drink, that javascript won't write itself while you're adding water to a powder and mixing it

also I think you will find that many fine cheeses have molds involved, and many people happily consume Quorn, which is produced from a fungus?? so soylent having black mold in it is not a problem?? why do you hate the future??

Much like a fine wine, soylent needs to be aged to perfection. The mold is just a sign that it's ready.

Yeah, it's linked in the OP. As part of trying to live off a solar panel he downsized his computer.

quote:

Computing

Today’s computers are remarkably efficient. But we could always do better. I winced as I ditched my homebuilt desktop for a cheap, low power Intel NUC. Giving up my tower for a mini PC felt like when I lost my beloved ‘86 Ford F250 and started riding around in Uber Priuses. It’s the future. But it still stings a little.

The NUC and my displays, 2x AOC 17in USB DisplayLink monitors, are amazingly efficient and serve all my daily needs. When I want some real computing power I SSH or RDP in to an EC2 instance and have all the power I need. Intel has really stepped up their graphics game too. The HD 6000 integrated GPU runs League of Legends and Kerbal Space Program great. Skylake should bring further improvements this Fall. I power the NUC directly from the battery since it runs on 12V and draws less than 1A of current even with the monitors. That’s 72Wh if I use it for 6 hours straight, which my panel produces in less than an hour in direct sunlight, an abundant resource in Los Angeles. No more power blocks, wall warts, or rats nests of cables. My Android phone charges at 5V and uses less than 10Wh / day, which isn’t a lot but I still think is atrocious for what it does. My old Nokia would run for a week on that.

dehydrate it, mechanically process it into a powder, add a huge margin for your trouble, and then you might just have something disruptive there buddy

Looking at his blog I noticed the little picture in the tab next to the name (what are those called?).



Is that . . . yes it is, it is Marvin the Paranoid Android. 2005 version. In case you've been living under a rock with no books or movies all your life, here's what wikipedia says about the character, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_(character)

quote:

Marvin, the Paranoid Android, is a fictional character in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. Marvin is the ship's robot aboard the starship Heart of Gold. Originally built as a failed prototype of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's GPP (Genuine People Personalities) technology, Marvin is afflicted with severe depression and boredom, in part because he has a "brain the size of a planet"[1] which he is seldom, if ever, given the chance to use. Indeed, the true horror of Marvin's existence is that no task he could be given would occupy even the tiniest fraction of his vast intellect. Marvin claims he is 50,000 times more intelligent than a human,[2] (or 30 billion times more intelligent than a live mattress) though this is, if anything, a vast underestimation. When kidnapped by the bellicose Krikkit robots and tied to the interfaces of their intelligent war computer, Marvin simultaneously manages to plan the entire planet's military strategy, solve "all of the major mathematical, physical, chemical, biological, sociological, philosophical, etymological, meteorological and psychological problems of the Universe except his own, three times over," and compose a number of lullabies.

What a curious choice in avatar.
