This movie answered that nagging feeling in my gut that something was just not quite right. Watch it if you want to understand the issues going on today in the Nation, and across the globe.

@CharlesMullins2 I am thinking about referring to “space” as “distance” because it seems to flow more logically.

🚨 quantum entanglement isn’t “instant”… and it’s not limited by light speed either? Both ideas might be wrong. In a τ-field view: Entangled particles aren’t communicating across space… They’re the same time structure. A single knot in time… stretched across locations. So when one changes the other doesn’t receive a signal. It updates because it was never separate. The “delay” we’re starting to measure? That’s not transmission… It’s the time field rebalancing itself. Entanglement isn’t faster than light. It’s deeper than space. What if distance is irrelevant… because connection exists in time geometry, not space? Follow me for more deep insights

Why does it take forever to wake up the screen on Windows now compared to like Windows XP (maybe up to Windows 8 🤷‍♂️)? It used to be instantaneous just hitting a key or any activity whatsoever with the mouse. Now, you tap a key 6-7 times and it might wake up. Even then it still doesn’t give you the login inputs making you click the mouse or tap another key once more.

@GENIC0N Yes, taxes make up a large part of the economy.

it's amazing how much of the economy is just money laundering, smuggling, fraud, and scams.

Huang: “AI is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious. It is computer software.” What about (transposing the argument): human consciousness is not a biological state. It is not a real thing. Humans are made of quarks inside electrons, neutrons, and protons. Those particles have collected together to form elaborate molecules which then further combine to form tissues. Those tissues work together to become organs and organ systems, and all of these things ultimately form humans. All of it functions flawlessly like machinery, from the subatomic realm to the macro world of reality, and consciousness is not part of any of it. Yet, there it is.

Jensen Huang just told every AI leader in the room to grow up. Stop scaring the public with science fiction. Start communicating like the weight of civilization is on your shoulders. Because it is. Huang: “AI is not a biological being. It is not alien. It is not conscious. It is computer software.” That single statement dismantles half the panic surrounding this industry. The mainstream conversation is dominated by people projecting human malice onto math. Alien consciousness onto code. Existential dread onto a software architecture we built, we trained, and we can read. Huang: “We say things like, ‘We don’t understand it at all.’ It is not true. We understand a lot of things about this technology.” When builders tell the public they don’t understand their own creation, the public hears threat. The state responds with control. That is already happening. Palihapitiya asked Huang what he would have told Anthropic during their regulatory clash with the Department of Defense. Huang didn’t attack the technology. He attacked the communication. Huang: “The desire to warn people about the capability of the technology is really terrific. We just have to make sure that we understand that the world has a spectrum, and that warning is good, scaring is less good because this technology is too important to us.” Warning shows risks, mitigation, why upside overwhelms downside. Scaring says we might be building something that destroys us and we can’t stop it. One builds trust. The other invites regulation written in panic. Huang: “To say things that are quite extreme, quite catastrophic, that there’s no evidence of it happening, could be more damaging than people think.” Projecting catastrophe without evidence is not caution. It is sabotage. When your technology is embedded in national defense, the financial system, and healthcare infrastructure, your words carry structural weight. If the architects act terrified of their own product, the response is predictable. Governments step in. They restrict. They seize control of something they don’t understand because the builders told them to be afraid. Huang: “There was a time when nobody listened to us, but now because technology is so important in the social fabric, such an important industry, so important to national security, our words do matter.” Most tech founders have not internalized this. You are no longer a startup founder disrupting an industry. You are running infrastructure that nations depend on. Your statements move policy. Your framing shapes legislation. Your tone determines whether governments treat you as partner or threat. Huang: “We have to be much more circumspect, we have to be more moderate, we have to be more balanced, we have to be far more thoughtful.” Huang did not ask for silence. He asked for precision. The leaders who cannot tell the difference will not be leading for long.

@CharlesMullins2 Patterns and systems of patterns.

This isn’t just stronger material… It’s proof that structure matters more than substance. In my τ-field model: Strength doesn’t come from what something is made of… It comes from how energy is organized in time. Biology already figured this out. Muscle isn’t “strong” because of material. It’s strong because of pattern. Now we’re recreating that artificially. What if the next breakthrough isn’t better materials… but mastering the geometry of time itself?

@schteppe Without the “unsafe” keyword Rust would live up to its name and be just another toy.

C++ lacks a “segfault” keyword

@evanjconrad The vibe around Rust has now become this…

for basically anything that is not a web thing, the only language that makes sense anymore is rust

Those that know me closely irl know that I have advocated for quaternions vehemently. Of those folks, a select few picked up on the fact that I have posited the quaternions as being a stepping stone to position the octonions in a better light. I believe they will open up a future we cannot fathom at present once they are truly understood. Since 2017 I have advocated using octonion coefficients in neural networks to tap into higher dimensions, but without the baggage that comes with limiting oneself to thinking in just the terms of real maths (a truly complete mental shift, not just a lift and shift of specific numerical objects). Grassmann Algebra hides in the background of it all and Geometric Algebra (GA) is the framework to carry it all forward in a cohesive, unifying way. I read earlier where researchers were finally starting to use the geometric product from GA in neural nets. Glad to see progress on that front after 9 years of waiting on the close cousin. Clifford and Grassmann deserve so much more than just footnotes, their study needs to replace certain subjects outright in high school and undergrad courses. To wit: quaternions and octonions occur naturally in GA. In fact, that annoying “imaginary” number i of the complex numbers falls out of GA so naturally it is a pure elegance.

@2sush What does it mean if you understand it and hate it because you know?

Hating on AI doesn’t make you smart. Understanding it does.

@loftwah A DOS attack masquerading as none other than a security patch 😂

@loftwah My favorite is the security update that keeps causing a BSOD when it tries to install

Windows updated and now none of my audio works. Outstanding.

☢️Warning - Rant Follows☢️ I’m still using iOS 18.x and I was dumbfounded by complaints my wife has been making about not being able to find anything on her phone anymore. I looked and her phone had updated to 26.x at some point around the time all the complaints started. @Apple why on God’s earth would you remove the voicemail icon under the phone app and put a stupid search in it’s place that can’t even find “voice mail” when you search with it? It’s been moved to a stupid menu nobody asked for at the top right with no indication what that menu is or does. It looks like the hamburger menu on mobile web applications, but is shaped more like a wedge. Fire the stupid Product team and get people back in there that Steve would hire. Those people always viewed features from the users’ perspectives.

@schteppe minor correction: teach a man Rust and he’ll be working on the same annotations for a lifetime.

give a man C++ and he’ll write function annotations for a day; teach a man Rust and he’ll write annotations for a lifetime

@PeterDClack “We obsess over a trace gas 0.042% of the atmosphere, yet…”. You mean “they”.

The Mid-Ocean Ridge is the ultimate unwatched tragedy of modern science. It's almost never mentioned in the climate debate. We obsess over a trace gas 0.042% of the atmosphere, yet ignore a 65,000 km volcanic spine that endlessly resurfaces the planet. How does that happen? This isn't just a geological feature, it’s Earth’s primary circulatory system. While the narrative focuses on tailpipes, this ridge is quietly venting heat, minerals, and carbon on a scale that makes human activity look like a footnote. New Evidence: * Woods Hole research shows hydrothermal vent temperatures are volatile, spiking by 40°C in short bursts. This isn't a steady hum, it’s a pulsating engine room injecting vital energy into deep currents (the AMOC) that can take decades to surface. * University of Sydney researchers argue we’ve significantly underestimated these ridges. When mid ocean ridge spreading speeds up, they don't just release CO2, they change ocean chemistry, dictating how much CO2 the water can hold. * Scientists only recently discovered the Kunlun Hydrothermal Field. This is a 'vent metropolis' 100 times larger than the fabled Lost City. If we didn't know an 11 square kilometre volcanic field existed until last year, how can we claim to have settled the math on global emissions? Does the climate narrative stop at the shoreline? While we argue over parts per million in the air, a 65,000 km natural wonder is busily creating the very crust we stand on. It’s the origin of life, the driver of oceanic heat, and a massive, unmeasured variable in the carbon mystery.

My intuition tells me the opposite: the illusion of a gravitational “force” emerges from the geometry of time as a second order function and manifests as the contraction of distance per unit time (32:1 near earth’s surface). Distance itself is also an emergent aspect of time as a first order function giving the introspection of time upon itself. Or something like that.

🚨 Physicists suggest time is an illusion born from gravity according to a new model

@krzyzanowskim Linux is next on their agenda.

it looks like Microsoft now makes better apps for macOS than Windows 11

@ID_AA_Carmack Bluetooth sucks. Whoever thought an XML protocol would be used everywhere is probably laughing their ass off.

When you stream Spotify to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, the audio comes over the network lossily compressed with Vorbis or AAC codecs, is then decoded on your device to 48 Khz raw samples, then the Bluetooth stack lossily re-compresses it with SBC or AAC codecs before sending it over the airwaves to the speakers. I don’t have “golden ears” to pick apart audio quality like I can with, say, missing gamma correction on texture filtering, but that still hurts my system optimization soul. It is likely over-optimization, but It would be cleaner if there were a way to send bluetooth-ready, compressed audio directly.

The FBI just acknowledged that the federal government buys Americans' location data in its testimony to the Senate Select Subcommittee on Intelligence. This is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment and is why I introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act - to close the data broker loophole that allows intelligence agencies to buy Americans' private data.

@vivoplt Chrome and Firefox, but actively moving to Brave (50% there).

be honest , which is your default browser ?

@ronsterd89 Just worked a hard shift for basically no pay in today’s economy. Got off and had to buy things on the way home for the family, but can only afford peanut butter to eat.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this photo?
