People are impressed if you can name the current moon phase and tell them what it'll be next. But it only takes a mental model of where the sun, earth, and moon orbits are relative to each other. I also find people are intrigued by the

We like the moon! Because it is so close to us.

What is this 12 Days of Christmas thing, with Sam Altman sitting there? Do they really think they're perceived as benefactors or relatable, lovable startup scamps? By anyone following the AI space they're the enemy. They've m

I think that's why humor and memes are such good targets for this type of stuff. If you look up videos like "luma memes compilation," it takes well-known memes and distorts them in uncanny, freaky, and bizarre ways. Yet the f

Everything OAI does is part of an unethical marketing loop that betrays their founding principles. I'm thoroughly sick of their main tact, which is: "Oh NO! <Upcoming product> is sooooo dangerous and powerful! We'll NEV

Are you kidding? The CIA would never fund that and if such a company existed, the founder would probably end up going for a 130 MPH drive at 2 AM and getting in a crash that burned so hot nothing but ash remained.

What I'm describing is physics 102 and non-controversial. No one is pretending anything. What you're referring to are competing interpretations for what it means when the superposition of eigenstates collapses into a single state,

It's more like, particles are how we experience collapsed wave functions, and both are manifestations of excitations in the underlying quantum field.

QFT doesn't have a duality of particles and waves, it explains both as excitations in underlying fields. So even the particle in a double slit experiment is just the collapsed wave function, but we experience it as a particle. So prece

It's sort of unsatisfying to say that math has the ability to experience itself, though

Particles don't actually exist, however. They're excitations in various fields. A proton, for example, is actually a sea of three quarks of different "colors" that continually exchange energy (and only have potential pos
