What makes you say that? This lab has received funding from US gov't agencies, including in intelligence.

@izaya time stopping seems way more insane than just introducing some new Martian time units and converting between earth and Mars time when needed.

@izaya LBJ's your favorite? I mean, he did a lot of great stuff, but his legacy is a bit mixed.

@chjara@mk.absturztau.be that's pretty cool actually. haven't had to do anything like that since college exams, but with pen and paper. is it for something you're working on now?

@izaya 🤷‍♂️ well, can't say without reading it, but I'll give my honest opinion if you want when you post it

@izaya how does chip design factor into the story? does it drive a major plot point? If it's worth the pay-off in terms of understanding the characters' behavior, I think I wouldn't mind the wonky stuff.

@izaya sure. If you do though, I'll probably be more like "Good stuff! Keep it going". Safe and useless. I tried to critique someone's writing once and got my head bit off by the writer and a booster, so I'm pretty reserved now.

I do like the snippets you've got on the site now though. Also, I can tell you actually know some of this tech first-hand. It'll be cool to see how you balance technical detail with keeping things engaging for the uninitiated.

@izaya Cool. Most of writing is rewriting. I don't think I could do that though: I'd get depressed, distracted, and bored if I didn't put my drafts out there, just to keep the story going and get feedback. That's how I am with code anyway: so many dead-end Git branches that'll never see the light of day.

@izaya 👌

@izaya yeah, that's what I generally see: some blurb like, "story starts --->HERE"
