building the fungal computer

another cool math result. nature is healing.

i think the AI video game thing is interesting because there's people who don't see the potential and people who don't see the huge problems, and i really would like more people creatively harnessing AI to do things that don't suck, but it just isn't incentivized on social media i guess

honestly, an LLM helped me figure out PT exercises to alleviate my bowler's elbow and it worked! so idk LLMs are neat

oops

The world is suffering (grad school), but you can attain enlightenment and reach nirvana (get a job as a TT professor).

lmao

when the worm turns will there be an even bigger backlash to their silence?

which will also make it look lopsided, requiring the WH to be demolished

adding the ghost recon wildlands soundtrack to the playlist to prepare for 2026

so is this shutdown ever going to end? it doesn't actually have to

lmao

the reality is that the actor is much better at acting than Holden is written for all but the last two books

i really like this concept of the warrant and distributed warrant enforcement, which i believe is something science, as practiced, collectively created, imperfectly, but that this explaining its success. perhaps the pace of discovery of the last century has been a result of that social system

notable only in so far as the desire for the control over others even though you can't really control everything really does drive people insane

This mask always makes me laugh. i don't like to look at the other one..

i notice my desire, i acknowledge it, i let it pass through me

i think an illustration of the robustness of capitalism against change is that the incentives run to either improving things somewhat, arguably letting the system continue, or you end up positioning yourself against good things all the time shedding all possible alliances making you ineffective

Treating women better may get me a girlfriend, but women would still be under capitalism

lmao

When the internet goes down due to blackouts or natural disasters, there's a small bit of kit that lets you have access to the most important parts.

i think the median time for people to completely move on from your lack of presence online is probably about 1 week

need to make some corrections to my terminology: the mode of the pdf shifts left, i didn't mean the average of the means of the randomly distributed variables, which are always 0, what i meant by mean was EV.

a thread of when i notice this happening with my response🧵

had to look this up. key is that chi normalizes the random variables with mean 0, sd 1, chi PDF goes as x^(k-1) times a gaussian (centered at 0, sd of 1) so as k gets larger, your mean starts to increase, and you can have a random variable > 1 sd away from mean.

i think the human mind just cannot comprehend social media, or collective phenomenon. i think about this stuff a lot, and even i can't really disentangle my disdain for a phase from disdain and anger being directed at people who basically have ~ 0 contribution to the existence of that phase

im a little worried my tenuous peace with my neighbor might be coming under threat ever since i lobbed a brick thru their window and slashed their tires

im armed only with the truth but weirdly enough that's scarier than a gun to a lot of ppl

at some point people have to look at the effectiveness of strategies if they want to be treated as seriously strategic, otherwise its just vibes. being an annoying leftist? cool cool. is that working though? idk.

"here are my thoughts from nowhere, connected to no one, not associated with the wider conversation, in dialogue with myself" is not something i think the world actually needs

Dark Forest, but actually it's just Age of Cults as Zoomers age, but the public facing internet will continually regenerate itself because the reality is social media is a terrible way to choose friends and the entropy in closed groupchats kills them. median copernican lifetime drama free < 1 year

Instead of 'becoming illegible', we become bespoke, hiding behind hyperlangs, communities surviving the selection pressure have stacks dedicated to conlang/lang development and then intralingual coded speak increasingly becoming esoteric societies. At least, this is a bandaid on top of encryption.

grok being your recommendation algo is going to go great

My most retvrn opinion is that the American government was built for thirteen states and to thirteen states it should retvrn

i am trying to engage in the opensource nature of bluesky more directly: - i moved to blacksky (not black, just thought the ability to do so is cool) - i am making a tool so when i post/quote i pick which alt does it based on topic, while maintaining a core "feed" on this account. - using lists

you "can just do things" but this elides that you actually _must_ just do things

i think outcomes are going to be the more woke are going to get inundated with explicit nazi shit, inescapably, or the nazis are going to get inundated with pronouns and anti-racism, because whatever nano grok they end up using will default to either Truth seeking or based Elon depending on his whim

wait... wait... this gives me an idea ... i can vibe code something just for myself...

wow i was really onto something with this. why hasn't this happened yet? get a simp subdomain from your favorite poster

REALITY IS STRUCTURED LIKE FORUM BEEF

they can appeal to bsky but they can't make you unblock them

Blindsight has a good take on the end of monoculture. synthesists report to normies on the hyper atomized crew. but i think about Polynesian long distance sailing a lot. i think the danger isn't people being weird and not having a shared culture, but idk if that's all that's happening rn either

it is now the department of homeland security's turn to study statistical mechanics

most people: wow cool giant robot me rn: i wanna know the military acquisitions program for the robot, the factory supply chain and assembly, and the quality assurance

It's really nice to have friends who are supportive of your creativity. Would recommend 10/10.

these are pretty good recs, i should probably brush off some of these and review some fundamentals. for stat mech though id add lectures on renormalization by goldenfeld and the two kardar books and for EM i would recommend any book besides jackson. i liked franklin www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw97...
