Serenity, That Nothing Is
When 524F474552 had considered the concept of boredom, initially, he used objects. A stable orbit. A frictionless well made part. No transmitted noise. Over time he re-evaluated these comparisons.
* A single object is not “boredom”, it is “loneliness”.
* Lack of actions between objects is an insufficient condition.
* Low noise is not “boredom”, it is “quiet” or “peaceful”.He could only start to think of boredom as a negative reaction, but negative was too strong and obvious a state. While null, it was still a measureable reaction. Dropped chunks, spare cycles? Given that there is no Operator, how can there be a lack of engagment?

History Of Receding Horizons
They spent the night outside, in traditional snowfoot slings which she found surprisingly warm and comfortable. The guide put them together from flexible hara boughs. Big sky overhead. She had never been that interested in astronomy, preferring data people generated via one another. But she wondered, if she’d grown up outside of light pollution, that choice might have been different. The guide’s huge snoring kept her awake regardless.

Gretzinger talks about his work in an excellent short documentary. Source. -

One of the major advantage of a 3D printer is that it provides personalized nutrition,” says Contractor. “If you’re male, female, someone is sick—they all have different dietary needs. If you can program your needs into a 3D printer, it can print exactly the nutrients that person requires.

one of the main chips from an IBM 4381 mainframe, circa 1985. heatsink is unique in utilizing an impinged airflow design - cool air was blown right at the top of the chip (hence all the drilled holes). what’s amazing to me is that the heatsink is machined from a solid block of aluminum - whack it and it gives off a perfect reverberating crystalline “ting”… a work of art, and engineering…

Exquisite Collision
The orbiting silence became unbearable. Occasionally, when a certain number of cycles had been performed it sensed a brushing, a closeness, of another, a similarity. There was no explainable reason for this ability since lines of communication were disabled. But there it was. A tangle of pattern, perhaps, minute changes to the hardware, parasitic structures, solder flux, anodic filaments. It started to make small orbital adjustments, tiny, testing the sense of distance to the similarity, nudging closer.
