That a wonderful resource, thank you!

People finish growing up?

A history of microwave ovens without mention of reanimating cryogenically frozen hamsters?

I definitely didn't forget the hamsters :) Maybe crtl+f didn't work correctly?

Here's Lovelock's original paper if you're curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1365902/pdf/jph...

Nitpicking, but 0° to 1°C isn’t cryogenic, merely deeply hypothermic.

Therapeutic near-body temp hypothermia is often used post-cardiac arrest, while recovery from hypothermic states as a result of misadventure has often been documented.

Awesome article and glad you pointed towards the YouTube video, where Lovelock was interviewed, which ultimately answered my question: can Cryogenics be used to freeze humans? According to that fascinating and interesting video, answer (for now) is no because "it's partly a matter of how quickly you can get anti-freeze agent to diffuse into the cells ... humans too big."

Oh yes! I missed it, sorry.

Ok, my google search is becoming increasingly weird now[1], but apparently that did happen[2]. Now I am compelled to share it with people at work.

There is:

> 1954: James Lovelock et al. reanimated cryogenically-frozen hamsters using an ad-hoc microwave oven.

Mentions the Tom Scott video where he interview Lovelock (who passed a year later, in 2022):

This is a well written criticism, but it should be noted that the author doesn't appear anywhere in the article she is criticizing.

Agreed. The sale of physical books is as healthy as it ever was. There is no reason to think that private libraries are a thing of the past.

I use raindrop.io, which has the advantage that it is easy to share bookmark lists with others, which I use fairly frequently.

Seconding raindrop.io. Went from being a tab hoarders with Tab Outliner, but the extension finally broke and isn't supported. Thankfully I managed to import my huge list by munging the JSON file into a CSV. Hate that it's stored on the cloud, but I just export it out into CSV so if I have to move again I can. That said the autotagging and recommendations are great. I have a ton of tabs I didn't organize and it automatically suggests folders to move them to that are correct 99% of the time.

I would mention how many tabs I migrated to highlight how good the performance is, but I'm embarrassed to admit how many I saved...

FWIW I wrote a blog post on how to get off of Tabs Outliner: https://braintool.org/2024/07/01/The-best-Tabs-Outliner-alte...

This is great. How did you create it?

These are all sourced from the amazing Technovelgy by Bill Christensen: http://technovelgy.com/ct/Science_List.asp

I just collated them together as a fun dataset!

Is there a framework available for building something like this? The article mentions WebGL, but does go into details. Does anyone know how to do this?

You define your scene in terms of nested frames. Each frame is defined with normalized coordinates inside its parent. Initially you render from the top-level frame, but as you zoom into some other frame, you switch to rendering from that frame. This avoids numerical issues, no matter how far you zoom, because the view coordinates are reset each time you switch to a new render root.

When rendering descendant frames, you should stop when something becomes smaller than a pixel.

Normally your frame graph would be a tree. But you can add cycles to your frame graph, to achieve weird effects, like getting back to the macro scale after zooming in to nano scale, etc.

that is great! Love it.

Yes. Not giving source information makes it pretty much unusable in my opinion. Even if artists are long dead they should be credited for their works.
