This is me mindlessly scrolling Twitter instead of reading the book I sat down with.
Holy s**t this is amazing! When you're so bored, you'd literally stand there and watch noisy TV.
Similarly, when i have something sensitive still on the clipboard i can feel it viscerally until i replace it
somatically aware computer usage, phenomenon #1: when i have copied something and haven't pasted it yet, i can sense that in my body
This white-noise sounding signal with a flat spectrum is the pseudo-random bit sequence used to pre-train the adaptive equalizer that cleans up the mushy analog signal into clean bits. It's basically a linear classifier trained with least square, a direct descendent of Bernie…
If you're old enough, you will recognize this sounds and appreciate the spectrogram of a dial up modem handshake. [🎞️ Scotty H]
for(float e,i,a,w,x,g,h;i++<90.;o+=.01-.02/exp(max(s,e)*3e3)/h){vec3 p=vec3((FC.xy-.5*r)/r.y*g+2.,g);p.zy*=rotate2D(.5);e=p.y;h=e+p.x*.3;p.z+=t;for(a=.6;a>.001;a*=.7)p.xz*=rotate2D(5.),x=(p.x+p.z)/a+t+t,e-=w=exp(sin(x)-3.)*a,h+=abs(dot(sin(p.xz/a*.3)*a,r/r));g+=e=min(e,h*.5-1.);}
this is literally what my coach was just talking about with how stimming is a regulation practice because fight–flight type energy simply needs some way to dissipate constantly
Inspired by a long tradition of impossible objects, this 'impossible portal' created by coded loop artist @jn3008 challanges your mind leaning toward you or away from you according to the point of the portal you focus on [site: jn3008.com]
"Dreams give us clues that we can build on to solve complex problems." There's another way to solve complex problems? 😆 The number of times I've woken up in the morning with a solution for a problem that'd been bugging me for hours...
LLM Hallucinations Can Help Make New Scientific Discoveries. Since hallucinations are a feature, not a bug - You can get LLMs to dream up possible solutions to complex problems. You basically ask the LLM to start dreaming and then throw out the dreams that aren't plausible.…
Electric power really gives us wings. Having an electric powered bycicle or a kick-bike changes everything. Just the other day i did a 7km scoot from a station to my home on an electrically assisted kickbike. Trivial. Barely more than a transit walk.
"OpenAI are training on every piece of data they see, even when they say they aren't" is the new "Facebook are showing you ads based on overhearing everything you say through your phone's microphone"
Some final pics that didn’t make the thread (AI is fun!) LNG is gas super chilled to -260F. At that temperature, the gas is condensed to 1/600th. And apparently anything colder than that makes you go on an acid trip
I have discovered a fundamental harmful error in the temporal ontology presented by systems like "Google Calendar" which I believe is a significant source of suffering and confusion especially for neurodivergent phenotypes like myself or at least an opportunity for improvement
Programmers, accountants, and lawyers. It turns out that professions where people practice extreme attention to minute detail attracts people with particular skills that most other people would rather avoid even if they could do it if pressed.
Advertise your account with one PCB. I'll start
thinking about an academic I once met who self identified as both a Calvinist and a cognitive determinist and when I asked him if that meant we were robots without free will programmed by God for sin all the way down he simply he said Yes
now that's a flex
I need this shirt.
