everything else is transient. meditate on this.

r u ok?

reminds me of the famous anecdote of a 19th century physics professor who said "there is nothing left to be discovered in physics, only minor corrections"

then came Einstein...

Anyone else feel this?

clearly it's more like $540.2 quintillion at this point

I really for the most part do not. I've not even seen any of the big oscar winning pieces everyone keeps talking about.

As I said to another commentator on here as well:

Without any disdain, I cannot bring myself to watch hours of another person's fantasy, when I could instead be shaping my own reality.

Nope, I truly live under a rock when it comes to those.

I've been wanting to watch the big ones (Hobbit, LotR, ...), but – and I say this with no disdain:

I simply cannot get myself to consume hours upon hours of somebody else's fantasy – when I could instead be shaping my own reality.

To me, how can you possibly enjoy reading something some other person simply ... made up? Like an elaborate lie?

Contrarily, non-fiction tells it how it happened within the very reality I myself live in, subject to the same laws of nature and real psychology, and therefore, and only therefore, able to teach me something about real life on this earth.

Not true: Science is precisely about finding truths that hold even if our conscious experience of them vanished the very next moment.

> Empiricism, the grounding of knowledge in experience

Another false equivalency: by "experience" here he means "observation", not consciousness. Observations are data points, consciousness is not.

As I scrolled through the website, I was even more impressed with this one though!

I can't remember it exactly, but in the tea-time scene, the guy gives Alice a quiz regarding the topology of a chair or something...

She tries to solve it, upon which they burst out laughing at her saying "there is no solution!"

Does anyone else remember it or am I trippin'?

at 19€/mo are you subsidizing it given the sharp rise of LLM costs lately?

or are you heavily restricting model access. surely there is no Opus?

Yes, bike bells are for pedestrians to hear.

Problem: Pedestrians today wear ANC noise cancelling, thus being unable to hear approaching bikes' bells.

Skoda: We made a bell with a frequency usually not cancelled by ANC, so these pedestrians still hear it.

Sounds reasonable to me.

curious, you got any citations for this claim?

Neither should Israel, right ... right?
