Afaik this isn't a new idea. This has been studied previously in the context of VR motion sickness.[0] There is a company called Otolith Labs making these kind of devices.[1] They seem to have pivoted from VR to curing chronic vertigo.

Haven't used Nostr recently, but isn't it associated with bitcoiners rather than crypto bros? At least it used to be that way.

It's both. The system or process has it's actual entropy, and the sequence of observations we make has a certain entropy. We can say that "this sequence of numbers has this entropy", which is slightly different from the

Does this make any sense in single-player games, where the db would run locally on the user's machine? Does it have any benefit to run all game state through a local db? I'm not a game dev, but I'm imagining that if I'd

I'd wait for March / April numbers. Sales went down mostly because people were waiting for the new model Y. Over the years the pattern has always been the same. News reports say that something bad happens to Tesla, but when the ac

Each universe has one vote, and they vote on whether to keep the computer running or not. We haven't figured out how to vote yet.

They use ALOHA 2 as the platform (includes arms, frame, cameras, etc.), which is an open-source design: https://aloha-2.github.io However, when I looked at the BOM I was surprised that the actual arm they use is an incredibly ex

Yes, this is exactly what I've been dreaming about. It might finally be possible to beat the bullshit asymmetry law, i.e. Brandolini's law: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than

There should be something like a "finalizing transaction", which both the sender and receiver need to sign after the first transaction has been mined, i.e. like an in-built escrow. If it's not signed by both, then funds are r

“If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” Musk said. They didn't come up with a plan, because it's obviously impossible to solve world hunger

You seem to be arguing that your personal opinion is more correct than what markets say about Elon's companies, and you make this opinion the basis of your argument. Sorry, but you're not being logical here. By any measure, Tesla

It's not an opinion. The fact that he is the richest man in the world is the proof that his decisions have been succesful. And obviously it's not luck because of repeated success.

That's exactly what I mean. Elon makes decisions to manage capital and talent, in order to make good things for the world, and thus accumulates more capital and talent to make more good things. He started from Zip2 and built his way to

This is not true. Tesla recently released new Model Y [0], and there's a gap in sales because of that transition. The old Model Y was the best selling car of any kind in 2024 globally. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I disagree. Wealth accumulation is absolutely a good thing. Elon does good things. EVs, rockets, Starlink, Neuralink etc. This is stuff that people want. More capital is allocated to good things when the same person can manage more capital.

Yeah, that's bullshit. I have a 3090 and I never want to use it at max power when gaming, because it becomes a loud space heater. I don't know what to do with 575W of heat.
