<p>> Or a chrome extension that takes HN comments and transforms them all to be kinder<p>I was about to start working on something like this. I would like to try browsing the internet for a day, where all comments that I read are rewritten after passing through a sentiment filter. If someone says something mean, I would pass the comment through an LLM with the prompt: "rewrite this comment as if you were a therapist, who was reframing the commenter's statement from the perspective that they are expressing personal pain, and are projecting it through their mean comment"<p>I find 19 times out of 20, that really mean comments come from a place of personal insecurity. So if someone says: "this chrome extension is a dumb idea, anti-free speech, blah blah blah" , I would read:  "commentor wrote something mean. They might be upset about their own perceived insignificance in the world, and are projecting this pain through their comment <click here to reveal original text>"</p>

<p>For the longest time I thought the zeta curve was some kind of sophisticated equation, but it is astonishingly simple. The "magic" of the zeta zeros only happens because of the 1/2 term in the exponent of the equation below. Any change with this fraction, and the zeros do not converge.<p>You start with a line segment. You then draw another line segment that starts at the end of the previous line segment, and whose length is shorter than the previous segment. The length of any segment is (1/n)^(1/2) where n is the number of the segment. These segments approach a limit (think of Zeno's paradox).<p><pre><code>                  _   <- segment 3
 segment 2 ->   /
               /    <- bend alpha between segments
               |
 segment 1  -> |
               |
               |
</code></pre>
Finally, you bend each segment by an angle alpha. Technically this angle is in imaginary space, but the visual in Cartesian space just looks like a spiral, where each bend adds an angle, like a bull whip, so that the whole curve spirals back around (after creating other, mesmerizing sub-spirals). Amazingly, this curve always intersects zero (per Riemann Hypothesis). As I mentioned in my other comment, it's very useful to see this curve in 3D space.</p>

<p>Reminds me of the NOAA-N Prime satellite that fell over, because there weren't enough bolts holding it to the test stand.<p>The roots cause, and someone correct me if this is not accurate, was that the x-ray tested bolts to hold it down were so expensive, that they had been "borrowed" to use on another project, and not returned, so that when the time came to flip the satellite into a horizontal position, it fell to the floor. Repairs cost $135M.<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA-19" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA-19</a></p>

<p>My two takeaways that make this interesting:<p>1 - ENERGY RECAPTURE: Helion's existing Trenta (Gen 6) machine, and its future Polaris (Gen 7) machine are one-of-a-kind systems when it comes to converting the energy released from fusion into usable electric current. Where all other fusion and fission systems attempt to convert the fusion energy from escaping neutrons with heat exchangers (Beryllium and steam turbines), Helion is taking the magnetic pressure from the fusion reaction that is exerted on their magnetic confinement field, that runs their electromagnets backwards, to flow current to the grid. This is much more efficient compared to a heat system, and does not create radioactive byproducts.<p>2 - FUEL: These systems are also one-of-a-kind since they are using Helium-3 fuel. They are acknowledging that they need to synthesize this fuel using a separate Deuterium fusion system since He3 is so rare, and since the system for recapturing He3 from the main reaction has a half-life of 12 years.</p>
