Time Dilation kind of makes the whole “datacenters in space” idea more fun.
Technically…something like a GPS Block III CPU runs an extra ~7,000 clock cycles per day compared to the same machine on earth.
Extend this to the extreme, and you get the whole subfield of CS+physics called relativistic hypercompuation.
There’s some (fun?) papers that allow you to solve the halting problem by placing yourself dangerously close to a black hole…while your computer safely computes for ~infinite-ish amounts of time.
One of the better papers on this field appears to be:
"Relativistic computers and the Turing barrier" (Németi & Dávid 2006)
(sadly, the maximum speedup just escaping earths gravity well is something like 1 x 10 ^ (-10), so yeah the blackhole thing is kinda necessary)

Someone needs to keep saying it:
We need to stop pretending that scientists are weak, ineffectual, of no interest to anyone & made redundant by AI.
Poorly paid precarious scientists are of great interest to many. Us. Our allies. And the other guys too.
Let’s figure this out:

JUST IN: White House says it will look into reports that 10 U.S. scientists involved in top-secret nuclear research have recently gone missing.

@0x1F9ED I believe that it is purposely this way, intentionally this way

And before everyone yells about maternity leave that’s only like 1 year of the equation even if that was implemented in the US.
The median livable wage is quickly approaching 60K or more in most parts of the country.
They say it takes a village to raise a family but guess what my god damn village has gentrified. I’m not even talking about the old people. I’m talking about the fact that it’s much more profitable for a person to content create than to babysit.

As important as this is - where’s the community of men and women on 𝕏 figuring out how to have a family and make progress in their careers well before this linear fertility cliff happens?
Biology has such hard limits. Shouldn’t the economy work around that?
Claire Lehmann@clairlemon
"Women's fertility does not drop off rapidly after age 35. That's a myth caused by faulty data. The decline is earlier & more linear." It is really a scandal we don't tell women this. x.com/RuxandraTeslo/…

@LightYagami2435 Very cool - I thought you could get away with using the normal SO(3) rotation matrices since I always thought the quaternions have a little more "extra power": there's a 2-1 map one rotation R in SO(3) -> +/- U in SU(2).
I wonder if that extra redundancy is useful at all

Learned today that robotics uses SU(2)! Is this actually true can any robotics person confirm? I thought SU(2) was useful only in quantum mechanics

And you know what I'm going to use that $16/month for now?
CRACK COCAINE.

I was running socialfabric.nyc, my site that lists portals to finding community in NYC, as a Notion page via Super for $16/month.
In 30 minutes, I used Claude Code to pull the HTML and CSS and deploy it as a static Vercel page that now costs me $0/month.

it's possible to be a 1 day old startup and still have ARR
let me explain
1 day = 24 hours
if you simply spin up 365 OpenClaw instances and run them continuously that first day, you have a full year's worth of operations and experience
that's how my side project's management team has over 1,000 years of combined experience
who says startups have to be difficult?

Weird question: Am i a self-perceiving/self-comprehending/emergently self processing log file of neural activity that might be decodable?

I always laugh when people claim LLMs will "level the playing field".
Search engines have been around for 25+ years.
...have you seen how many people still don't have basic search skills?
The field will not be level. A small group will excel at prompting, but most won't.
Jack | amatica health@JackHadfield14
LLMs alone diagnose medical conditions with 95% accuracy. Real people using the same LLMs: 34%. No better than Google. People describe symptoms badly, the model reasons over partial context, and the back-and-forth destroys it. Accurate AI health usage requires structured input.

I found the social fabric to be significantly more intact in New York
English
The social fabric is clearly only disrupted for the more Americanized Malaysians. The main vector of influence is social media with Hollywood/Netflix as a close runner up.
Will analyze this a lot more

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now
Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.
Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
Maxwell@mvxvvll
@npmjs @GHSecurityLab there is an active supply chain attack on axios@1.14.1 which pulls in a malicious package published today - plain-crypto-js@4.2.1 - someone took over a maintainer account for Axios

Sophisticated drones attacked the US base where we store the nuclear bombers…
The drones:
* Had non-commercial signals
* Were resistant to jamming
* Came in waves of 12-15
* Swept over sensitive areas of the base
* Had long range control links
* Were more advanced than anything seen in Ukraine (Russian drones)
* Beyond Iranian capabilities
Over the multiple days of incursion, local residents heard explosions which Barksdale claimed was “weapons testing”
This is the second base incursion of a sensitive site IN THE US in the last 2 weeks.
Ari Schulman@AriSchulman
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. Barksdale is the HQ for our B52 nuclear bombers, it's where Bush sheltered on 9/11, and the drones are reported as "far more sophisticated than anything seen in Ukraine ... and well beyond Iranian capabilities."
