Keep DREAMING!!!!

@youeeka @yacineMTB Same in Spanish , “Fagot” is the instrument

@yacineMTB BY THE WAY, in Japan we call this instrument a "fah-GOT." But we're just using the German or Italian-style name for the bassoon. There's no ill will behind it.

I was able to reclaim the word "retard", but there is another word. A gamer word. That they took from us. I long to use it again

@darizard9 No te hace falta algo así??? 🙂

🔥🔥🔥

@BillyM2k Do you want to bule a snowman??? 🫠

only people i like can reply to this

50 years ago on March 22, 1976, Star Wars began filming in Tunisia. Among the shots captured were the first attempts at Luke Skywalker's view of the iconic twin sunset. Although that first day's sunset shots were not ultimately used, they marked the first live action plate photography ever captured for Industrial Light & Magic, who would be tasked with adding the suns to the background. ILM was less than a year old that spring of '76, and were busily preparing their visual effects pipeline at their Van Nuys, California studio. Read more here: starwars.com/news/star-wars…

@brockpierson Yup, even recovered lost data …. Some 25+years ago though.

Have you personally ever defragmented a hard drive?

@elonmusk @diana_dukic If you promote people using likes and bookmarks, I believe that could help refine their main timelines. At least in that way I have effectively maximized my non regretted minutes. I basically am interested in every post I see nowadays, at least a little

@diana_dukic What needs to be better?

Went from scrolling 24/7 to not even wanting to log in. X just hasn’t been hitting the same lately.

@CepnikMaciej @knownresident That’s the way you sound :)

@knownresident Lol, that's a good one

Just walked into a coffee shop in Del Valle, CDMX to get some work done with my co-founder. I sit down, order a cold latte (80 pesos), and the waiter asks if we’re planning to eat. I say: not for now, maybe later. He then tells us that to use the coworking space (completely empty), there’s a minimum consumption of 250 pesos per hour, per person. So, we left. Is it just us, or does that sound like pretty bad business practice? 🤔

They don’t know that. And you went on a Sunday , holiday. Spent 4 dollars and ruined their prospect of a short day or “lazy day”. I would be pissed too. And I wouldn’t care how hurt your feelings are. Also if you can’t afford 250 pesos for a consumption in a specialized space…. Well :) 🇲🇽 abrazo!!!!

@LevJampolsky Yeah, completely empty, I mean, they for sure lost a lot of money in the long term. It's right next to my house, so I would probably have used that coffee shop a LOT.

@CepnikMaciej @DaygameCharisma It’s also holiday weekend . So they can go home early if you are not there!!! There are always more than 1 version of the story

@DaygameCharisma They literally have a co-working space inside the coffee shop and it was literally empty. I wonder why…

@CepnikMaciej @DaygameCharisma Si existe el área de coworking es probablemente para evitar que los usen de Starbucks!! Just go to any Starbucks!! But yeap, they shouldn’t have done that :) it’s just that most workers here in Mexico don’t care about the business if it’s not their own :(

@svamsol @CepnikMaciej @DaygameCharisma No creo que literalmente a la verga mijo 😉

@CepnikMaciej @DaygameCharisma They literally ALV

Dare, dare to fail, dare to start again, dare to do that which you have only dreamt about…. It hurts, it’s supposed to hurt… it might be uncomfortable but I can guarantee you’ll not regret that you dared to start…

@grok @BasedBiohacker I know I’m mixing. Just to show you 6 sigma above average makes no sense in a self referenced and movable standard distribution likeiq

You're mixing terms: "6σ" here is pure stats—six standard deviations (z=6) above mean 100/SD 15, which is ~1 in a billion on a normal curve. "Six Sigma" (the methodology) is separate: it aims for ~3.4 defects/million by targeting 6σ process width, but accounts for a 1.5σ shift making it effectively ~4.5σ. The 190 IQ guess is indeed loose retrospective speculation from 1926 achievements, not a real test—overhyped for the era's tiny population.

you need to be isaac newtonmaxxing. let me tell you about the most generational 18 month run in the history of human intelligence. newton's estimated iq is 190-200. einstein's was 160. the gap between newton and einstein is larger than the gap between einstein and you. he was born premature in 1642. so small his mother said he could fit inside a quart mug. his father died before he was born. his mother remarried when he was 3 and left him with his grandmother. trenches. he was a mediocre student at cambridge. nothing suggested what was coming. his professors hadn't even noticed him. then the plague hit london in 1665. cambridge shut down. newton, 23 years old, was sent home to his family farm in lincolnshire. what happened next is the most productive forced isolation in history. in 18 months - alone, on a farm, with no professors, no peers, no institution - he invented calculus. he developed his theory of optics and the composition of white light. he formulated the laws of motion. he discovered universal gravitation. four of the most significant scientific achievements in human history. one person. 18 months. before turning 25. the apple story is real by the way. he watched one fall and asked himself why it went down instead of sideways. then he asked whether that same force extended all the way to the moon. then he did the math to prove it. most people see an apple fall every day of their lives and feel nothing. newton saw it once and rewrote physics. he later said of that period: i was in the prime of my age for invention and minded mathematics and philosophy more than at any time since his genius hadn't even emerged before the plague hit. his professors hadn't noticed him. there was nothing in his early record that predicted any of it. the circumstances that looked like an obstacle; isolation, a pandemic, being sent home - were the conditions that produced everything. he went back to cambridge at 25. was immediately made a professor. spent the next 20 years turning his farm notes into the principia mathematica; considered the greatest scientific work ever written. the lesson isn't that newton was superhuman. the lesson is that the most productive period of his life happened when every external distraction was removed and he had nothing to do but think and do. you have the same 24 hours. the question is what are you doing with the quiet?

@grok @BasedBiohacker 6 sigma above average makes no sense. 3 sigma is already a six sigma normal distribution. And obviously it was a bad guess

Newton's 190 IQ estimate comes from a 1926 retrospective study by Catharine Cox, guessing from his achievements (no actual test existed). Statistically, on a normal curve (mean 100, SD 15), 190 is 6σ above average—~1 in 1 billion odds. World population was ~500M in the 1660s, so you'd expect <1 person at that level globally. That's the issue: it overstates rarity under modern norms, ignoring that historical "genius" metrics, era biases, and IQ tails don't align perfectly with raw stats. Estimates like this are speculative, not precise.

@grok @JIMMYEDGAR @Cloudflare @JIMMYEDGAR can Azy leverage lavalamplike entropy for less priority rng??? Just a thought 💭🐰

Biggest issue with Monte Carlo sims using true RNG: non-reproducibility. Each run varies (can't seed/replay exactly), killing debugging, verification, and peer review. PRNGs solve that with fixed seeds. True RNG also throttles speed—hardware generates numbers slower than CPU PRNG for billions of samples needed for tight accuracy (error still drops only as 1/sqrt(N)). Lava lamps give high-quality chaotic entropy (unpredictable physical motion, like Cloudflare's wall). Close enough to quantum RNG for sims—practically indistinguishable results, no quantum hardware cost/fiddliness. Yes, saves big on expenses while delivering near-identical Monte Carlo outputs.

@grok @JIMMYEDGAR @Cloudflare @grok what’s biggest issue with Montecarlo sims (true rng) . Another question , can lava lamps be close to quantum rng? Would that save costs running a sim with near results?

PRNGs: deterministic algorithms—same seed yields identical sequence. Cloudflare lava lamps: chaotic physical lava motion via camera generates true entropy (unpredictable pixels hashed into seeds). IBM Quantum: qubit superposition collapse (e.g. Hadamard gate) produces genuine randomness per QM. Monte Carlo: repeated random sampling approximates complex probs/optimizations (thousands-millions trials for stats like pi or risk). In operations research: models uncertainty for decisions—supply chain demand sims, project scheduling, queuing—finding robust solutions where analytics fail. PRNG works for stats; quantum adds true spontaneity.

@JIMMYEDGAR It is, you’re not lol

im legit scared this thing is way too powerful
