@LKrauss1 My disability (Executive Dysfunction in Autism - Initiation Subtype) means I literally can't make my own meaning (or anything). I exist in the absolute nihilism.

Some people took my description today to represent nihilism and despair. It was not meant to. The absurdity is Camus' absurdity, and while there is no existential purpose, we make our own as we push our own boulders. Like Camus, I imagine Sisyphus is smiling...
Lawrence M. Krauss@LKrauss1

I view life as an essentially purposeless absurd comedy that every now and then rises to the level of tragedy. I have to keep reminding myself of this on days like today when I took it all too seriously and felt devastated by reality for a few hours.

@krassenstein It's temporary, to get you whiney libs to stop crying. We are dominating this war. Iran's entire Navy is on the bottom of the ocean. Over 50 Ayatollah leaders killed.

BREAKING: Trump issues waivers temporarily lifting sanctions on Iranian oil tankers. So we’re bombing Iran… then boosting Iran’s oil sales… all because the fallout is hammering our own economy. Meanwhile, the same regime we’re confronting benefits from the chaos. MAGA economics in action.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

Happy Pi Day! In a certain sense, π is not a constant, but a variable. Using our usual Euclidean distance, it is 3.14159… but applying other L^p norms on ℝ², half the unit circle's perimeter will give other values. For instance, at p=1 (taxicab geometry), “π” = 2√2. At p ≈ 2.2, it's 3.20. Anyway, the video I was hoping to have out this day will be out closer to the 20th. Some call it “missing your deadline”, but I prefer to think of it as giving the L_{2.2} norm a little love.

BREAKING WAR UPDATE: - Thai Cargo ship struck in Strait of Hormuz - The Iranian military warns people to stay at least 1 km away from U.S.-linked banks in the Middle East - At least 3 vessels in total have been struck in the Strait overnight. - Gulf countries are dangerously running low on missile interceptors and are being forced to choose which incoming threats to shoot down. - Oil tankers and cargo ships asked for help from the US Navy to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. However, the request was rejected on the grounds that the "risk is too high."

@DonMiami3 Iran seems to be the most common denominator. Break them up and distribute their land to the all nations that they have attacked since this began.

"Never start a bombing campaign that will completely halt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz" is right up there with "never get involved in a land war in Asia” in terms of the classic blunders.

@mreflow @hankgreen The significant issue for content creators is that there is no practical way to answer questions that viewers have, I have heaps of unanswered questions across the creators I watch and no way of finding out the answers. Patreons, comments, social media - questions get lost.

"Creating in public is volunteering to be misunderstood" - @hankgreen Hearing that quote on Hank's video today definitely resonated. lol

Let me get this straight- we destroyed Iran’s nuclear program months ago but we’re bombing Iran to stop their nuclear program now?

I wish more people in the US realized just how much optimism the United States creates for people all over the world. The country is far from perfect, but it's so unbelievably amazing.

@mreflow I've been using ChatGPT to help verify claims on the war, earlier I tried to convince it that Saudi Arabia was a target of Iran retaliation (I'd seen it posted several times) - but it absolutely refused to submit, I was impressed. It seems to be doing a solid job.

I miss the good ole days of 2023 when talking about AI meant being impressed that an AI could make realistic hands and ChatGPT could write excel formulas for us.
