@xwanyex You can engineer a "feedback loop" where instead of checking with you each step, it checks in each time it "finishes a task", so it's fewer prompts, but your "feedback loop prompt" has to be really good...

@AshtonForbes I kind of get the complaint of being reductive with the term "interdimensional" to dumb it down, possibly even to make it sound ridiculous. Maybe "Supradimensional" is better, but it'd only confuse people more...

Our top math communicator Eric Weinstein can't figure out why congress keeps mentioning 'inter-dimensional.' Well, one solution to physics is an extra dimension. All the top historical physicists believed in it and called it the Aether until one day some stupid people decided space is an empty vacuum. I refuse to believe this is hard to understand. It's not lack of intelligence holding Eric back, it's science denialism. You're just not that important Eric. You were never invited to the club. That's why you weren't told.

@uncle_deluge I have a theory that linguistics being dominated by Germans at it's outset in the 18th and 19th century, maybe "under emphasized" the connections between Greek and Hebrew/Phoenician. "They borrowed many words, concepts, the entire script and also the religion, but that's it..."

Wait til you find out how to say Jove in the classical Latin pronunciation

@yacineMTB You probably want a "physics informed neural network"(PINN) but I couldn't tell you which, so I asked Grok x.com/i/grok/share/c…

If I wanted to like. Simulate aerodynamic things. For example a dust cyclone seperator.. how do I do that. I'm a good programmer. Cuda? Warp? Or something else. I dont mind implementing things myself

@AshtonForbes Instead of an "anchor" I think of it more like a "ballast" (like for a submarine or a blimp), and we can use the "buoyancy" of the universe to go "up and down"(dimensions) without much "weight" (except with this, it's still literally mass, just not literally buoyancy)

These orbs aren't demons, aliens, and they're not sending this plane to another reality. Look at the orientation of the heat signatures. They're creating a coherent, phase locked electromagnetic system. The Poynting vector is not zero in 5D space. They're aiming where they're sending the plane. The way this type of wormhole works is a point to point system that requires an anchor. This is how it also gets around the no communication theorem, which restricts faster than light signaling.

@justalexoki The Talmud says the same thing, but the exact opposite: x.com/i/grok/share/b…

my dad has 5 sons... damn

@StuartHameroff Where does this leave hive insects, like ants or bees? They can scale those neural connections across, not unlike our brain, but with less "form" at any given time(abd less entropy to fight to keep that form)

Potentially yes, but at a lower frequency and intensity. Humans can have 10^7 conscious events per second, the worms maybe a few per second, low intensity. But still, feeling good is feeling good. It makes sense that primitive feelings motivate even the simplest of creatures. Probably sparked the origin of life.

@esrtweet "Why is Communism bad?" -"Because it killed 100 million 'Communists'..." It's not really coherent... China is evil for repressing their own citizens, and that repression is what let's them do everything else to keep their status quo

I'm not with Gano. The tragic and dangerous thing about Communists is that they *are* human beings. If they weren't, the mind virus that turns them to evil would be less infectious. The stakes are high. Communism slaughters hundreds of millions of people at a time in its acute form and corrodes civilization in its chronic one. This makes dehumanizing its carriers correspondingly tempting - easier to contain and kill them if we mentally model them as a kind of plague-rat or zombie outbreak. The problem is that dehumanizing your opponents is not just morally incorrect, it's a habit that rots the brain and clouds judgment. It will make you less than you are, and less able to fight them effectively. Memes like this don't do the defenders of liberty any favors.

@FlyaEther33 "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" But who determines what is "sufficiently" advanced? It's just our perception of what is possible

"This thing isn't about "Aliens", Never has been, It's been about Physics that has been kept suppressed from humans that leads to effects that we see as "Alien",That we see as Magical,That we see as impossible" 💯

@mitchellvii Consider a "holographic computer", something that can run using the functions of the universe itself(measure square waves to solve primes, etc.), at the same speed. If we built a simulation that way, it would be 100% accurate and always scale. Would it be a half-simulation?

What if this is all just a simulation, and everything we know is just a big, lazy rendering holodeck? I mean, you don't have to render the entire universe because you're never there. The big question is: are you the main character or an NPC?

@Write4Republic I'll give you a hint: There are many more ex-Communist countries than ex-Muslim countries(even some overlap in Eastern Europe)

Which is worse, Islam or communism?

@matthewstoller @PalmerLuckey Oh, and how many monopolies have you taken down? How does someone get this pompous about something with no experience doing anything but writing? Oh right, I guess "no experience doing anything but writing" answers that...

You’re missing my point. You compared yourself to JK Rowling who sold 600m books. You never did anything close to that even though you could and should have. Why? A billionaire stopped you from redefining computing. I know you created products, you are enormously impressive. You didn’t *ship* lots of products, Facebook bought your company and ruined the space before you could do that. My point is what is impressive about you is that you build, not the financial gamesmanship. Financial bullshit is something a lot of mediocrities can do. I mean doesn’t it bother you to see a guy fuck up your work just because he captured a monopoly? Don’t you see how we’re going to lose to China? Don’t you realize the massive over-indexing of power for someone like Zuckerberg - who actively transferred tech to China - is horrific? Of course you do. You would be a massive rock star in any social system. Why do you support one that puts your talents beneath so many fools?

@0hour1 Alcohol does too, but we have 0.08BAC. It's zero tolerance for consuming while driving, but probably shouldn't for just being high

Cannabis, impairs your ability to drive stop the nonsense. It’s proven, cannabis, reduces reflexes, and thought perception therefore don’t drive while smoking. Just like alcohol use your brain get a DD

@Howlingmutant0 If you squinted at the right time of day, you could actually see the massive Hebrew letters between the towers. It's why the Muslims kept trying to take them down

This guy doesn’t even realize that’s a Torah scroll and that the twin towers were built to look like a giant Jew scroll

@mitchellvii I think working with Trump made him more resilient than before, at least in PR terms, and him being young can't be a negative factor when he has so much experience in the White House now

Marco Rubio will be President of the United States one day.

@GovMikeHuckabee @Israel Its literally a ~10% discount. They send us ~$36B for weapons, but get ~$40B of weapons back(and we get who knows how much back in taxes from the American companies manufacturing most of that ~$40B)

Neither of these ppl are dumb. I worked w/ them at Fox. They know how to Google basic facts. The US provides $3.8 billion (NOT $1.5 trillion) but @Israel spends many X over that on US. We get a huge ROI-are they too lazy to research or intentionally lying?

@AshtonForbes They're "dopplering" it through the higgs field? So we measure it as "faster than it is"/"less mass than it really has" instead of "closer/further than it is"(like doppler effect basically does) ?

Unlabored acceleration requires constant momentum. That’s why the plane is flying in a straight line at a constant speed. Constant velocity keeps the de Broglie wave length the same, lowering the energy requirement for the jump. They literally wormholed a plane.

@whatifalthist If someone you just met asks you to kill people, it isn't necessarily immoral to share that information, especially if 1 or more of them are Feds

If someone puts you in this much trust it’s very morally wrong to shill about it online

@justalexoki It's because the fan intake is usually blocked if the screen is closed, but I think putting it on its side like that blocks a grill and makes it way worse...

all these vibe coders and not a single one can figure out how to keep their agents running with their laptop closed

@lukas_m_ziegler This is technically "4D printing" by the way, since you're engineering the shape changes at the print. Multiple shapes in one 3D shape, so "4D". I guess 3D+twists is more accurate though

A 40-year-old patent has finally been brought to life. That's the Y-zipper. A 3D-printed three-sided fastener that transitions any object from flexible to rigid and back again. The robotics application is the one that caught my attention. A quadruped robot that adjusts its leg stiffness depending on terrain, switching between rigid and flexible in real time without additional motors or complex mechanical systems. But this goes way beyond robotics. A wrist cast that loosens during the day and stiffens at night. A tent that pops into shape in 90 seconds instead of six minutes. The idea sat in a patent filing for four decades. It took 3D printing to finally make it real. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com
