41,813,301 | comment | leshokunin | 2024-10-11T20:18:11 | null | The Venn diagram of developers and fighting game enthusiasts isn't too big. I think we have much to learn from BrolyLegs, a recently departed competitive fighting game player.<p>I was talking with a couple of developer friends about how it's difficult to assess your own skill ceiling by looking at other examples. I used Hellen Keller as an example, but I think BrolyLegs is a more modern and relatable one.<p>Due to his condition, he could only play using his face. He was the #1 Chun Li player at Street Fighter 4, and he even reached #25 at EVO in Street Fighter 5 (where all the world's best players compete).<p>He reminded us that limits are bullshit. | null | null | 41,813,300 | 41,813,300 | null | null | null | null |

I was prone to getting sleep paralysis anyways, but abusing MDMA resulted in the most terrifying experience of my life two nights in a row. Your description was spot on.. I felt the covers on my bed being pulled off of me by some demonic presence the first night, and the second night the same thing happened but that time I was lifted out of my bed and slowly dragged away. Felt like I was awake and perfectly conscious the entire time and I literally frozen with fear to the point where I couldn't speak. I stayed up the entire night after that for fear of it happening again. I also got terrible brain zaps for weeks afterwards, too. | null | null | 41,813,083 | 41,812,876 | null | null | null | null |

41,813,315 | comment | mtlmtlmtlmtl | 2024-10-11T20:19:36 | null | Amphetamine(which is what benzedrine was) is pretty overrated as a weight loss drug in the general population. It causes a short window of reduced appetite and probably increased catabolism(due to increased heart rate) which peters out after a couple weeks on the same dose. That leads to a short period of rapid weight loss that pretty much grinds to a complete halt, after which regaining the lost weight is quite typical.<p>On the other hand, if like me, you have ADHD and weight issues, it could be more helpful. Because it could treat your ADHD enough to help you actually establish and follow a structured diet and exercise regime. Especially if your ADHD includes impulsivity. The last time I was on lisdex treatment, I lost about 5kg from the initial boost, a lot of it was probably water weight. Then I managed to cut about 30kg later with calorie counting and regular cardio.<p>So the physical effects themselves are largely a pisstake. | null | null | 41,812,717 | 41,811,263 | null | null | null | null |

But I'm not sure they add up to qualitative ones.<p>Take the Great Fire of London in 1666. While the fire was still raging, huge mobs made up their minds as to who was guilty, and managed to have a go at Catholics, Jews, Dutch merchants too from memory. Some of this story is here : <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/great-fire-london-was-blamed-religious-terrorism-180960332/" rel="nofollow">https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/great-fire-london-was...</a> this was all while the city was burning around them, and you'd think they had better things to do than mob justice. This seems like a direct analogy to conspiracy theories about the hurricane.<p>Or the Ku Klux Klan. It wasn't a conspiracy theory as such, rather a proper conspiracy, but it relied (relies!) on people who believe this BS and are thoroughly convinced about racial supremacy etc. Again, all this came to be, and was hugely influential and widespread, well before the transistor, never mind a computer.<p>Mib violence based on bullshit seems to have always existed, and if anything the violence was, on average, worse in the past. | null | null | 41,813,113 | 41,807,121 | null | null | null | null |

41,813,354 | comment | ragnese | 2024-10-11T20:23:06 | null | It was only true that Chrome was significantly superior (performance-wise, anyway) for a little while. Firefox had to play catch up and it took several years. It was (mostly) called the "electrolysis" (a.k.a., "e10s") project. It was considered complete by 2018, and had already offered significant performance and stability improvements for years before then.<p>I wouldn't be surprised if Chrome still performs better on Google-owned web sites, for obvious reasons. But, nobody is really going to notice a difference between Firefox and Chrome when visiting, e.g., your bank's web site.<p>So, it's been somewhere between six and eight years that Firefox has had comparable performance, comparable web dev tools, and way cooler extensions. I'm sure plenty of people will reply that this isn't true and there was some website just this week that FORCES them to stay with Chrome because they noticed a jitter once, but people on the internet are top-tier experts at rationalizing and I don't buy it.<p>We could've all jumped on board with Firefox when the e10s project landed, but nobody did because it was just slightly less convenient to switch than to not. I hope it was worth it for them. | null | null | 41,813,112 | 41,809,698 | null | null | null | null |

41,813,362 | comment | layer8 | 2024-10-11T20:23:58 | null | It’s not simply a limitation in formal-reasoning ability, it’s also a lack of awareness and internal reflection. In the first example, the desired behavior would be for the AI to take pause at the mention of smaller-than-average kiwis. It could ask back about the relevance of the kiwi size, or it could answer based on its best understanding and but add a caveat regarding that detail, knowing that its understanding may not match the prompter’s. More generally, it should be aware that there’s some ambiguity or incoherence in the prompt that needs to be addressed.<p>It’s not clear what is needed to solve this. Maybe it’s just a lack of representation in the training data, because language carries too little of the internal state of the speaker (and listener), being just a rather lossy projection of that in some sense. Or maybe solving it inherently requires hierarchy and iteration (beyond “next token”) in the AI architecture. | null | null | 41,812,523 | 41,812,523 | null | null | null | null |

41,813,384 | comment | btilly | 2024-10-11T20:26:29 | null | Well, if you want a simple argument from authority, John Carlos Baez's confirmation that she's right is pretty good. If you want a better one, she very rarely gets any of her facts wrong.<p>Now let's go point by point.<p><i>Is Carlo Rovelli fine with it not being testable, in that he is fine with research continuing even though it can not be tested with up coming experimental set ups?</i> He is arguing for a version of the theory that can't be tested, is continuing to do research on it, and presumably thinks that he is doing science.<p><i>If Sabine was going to expose howe much money was going to these topics and where it could be better spent that would be worth watching.</i> Discussing how these things wind up getting funded would be a very different video. And would not likely be interesting to most of her audience.<p><i>Or is Carlo Rovelli ok with the theory being unfalsifiable in the sense that that he is ok with the research not being science?</i> Presumably he thinks that he is doing science. Sabine's opinion clearly is that this isn't really science. However she only claims her opinion as her opinion, not established fact.<p><i>Ok what percentage and total amount of founding is going to this?</i> Again, that would be a very different video. In 10 minutes for a general audience, you have to make decisions about what you will and will not cover. It's not a valid criticism of her that she made a choice. Particularly in a video that she disclaims as a personal rant.<p><i>Arguments saying loop quantum gravity require space to be quantized, but they can not be lorentz invariant without having the quantization go to zero volume, according to Sabine, and no one has done that and extracted back out loop quantum gravity.</i> This is not according to her, this is according to an argument that comes from Lee Smolin. A region of space that has a specific amount of area will, according to special relativity, have a smaller area according to an observer that is traveling fast enough. By having the velocity as close as you want to C, you can make the area arbitrarily small. So your choice is to violate Lorentz invariance, or have arbitrarily small areas. If you violate Lorentz invariance, the speed for light will depend on the wavelength.<p>As her previous video at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlHvW6k2bcM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlHvW6k2bcM</a> said, this prediction of Lee Smolin has been tested to extremely high precision, and the predicted effect was not seen. That version of LQG has been falsified. The alternative supported by Carlo Rovelli is that you need to average out over quantum areas in all reference frames. This is a neat idea, but in several decades, nobody has made it work. Until someone can make it work, LQG can't produce any testable predictions.<p>Please note that John Baez, who worked on LQG for 10 years, specifically complimented her presentation of this particular issue. Her description of where research stands is accurate.<p><i>I am experimentalist and this is not my area. I would want to see a link to a paper/book etc.</i> Rants generally do not come with properly cited references. That said, the previous video that this refers back to is based on <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.06009?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.06009?utm_source=substack&utm_med...</a>, which is one of the experimental tests showing that Lee Smolin's prediction is false.<p><i>The analogy to the angular momentum operator comes off as a good place to start investigation/research but is treated dismissively, anologies like this often do not apply in the end but can still be useful.</i> It was a good place to start. After 20 years of research that has failed to turn that idea into anything workable, most people would conclude that this is an analogy that will not apply in the end. But apparently Rovelli gets mad at anyone who doubts that it will work out. One of the triggers for this rant was whatever Rovelli said to her in private. Personally, I excuse her for being human here in her reaction.<p><i>Ok that does not seem like the gottcha that it is laid out to be. Interesting stuff happens where their are apparent contradictions in physics.</i> No, it really is the gotcha it claims to be. It's directly inside of the math. This demonstration is no different than, say, proving that sqrt(2) is irrational by proving that if you start with the smallest fraction that equals it, you can find a smaller one.<p>The conclusion of that gotcha is exactly what she said: if there's a minimal area then you can't have Lorentz invariance. And conversely, if you have Lorentz invariance, then you can't have a minimal area. Experimentally, we have tested for the Lorentz invariance to be expected from a minimum area based on the Planck length. It does not exist. And therefore there isn't Lorentz invariance.<p><i>Why did Sabine talk about it being a mathematical contradiction if you can make the theory work, but it leads to physical phenomenon that we do not observe?</i> Her previous video (that triggered the nasty emails)_made this point more clearly. She's saying that there is a mathematical contradiction between having minimal areas and Lorentz invariance. This forces us to choose to have one or the other. Minimal areas leads to a testable and now falsified theory. Lorentz invariance has yet to lead to a theory that doesn't blow up with unnormalizable infinities, let alone one which can produce a testable prediction.<p><i>I can not make those two arguments jive in to a cohesive whole. Not that it can not happen, but I can not from this video and that is the conclusion, or similar, I normally reach when watching Sabine's videos and why I do not watch or recommend them generally.</i> Is that Sabine's fault, or yours? This video is much lower quality than her normal ones. And yet absolutely none of what you think are flaws, do I think is one. Every one of your objections has an answer that jives. And the conclusion is agreed with by John Baez, whose background on this specific topic is much stronger than yours.<p>Perhaps, rather than looking for things to complain, you should try figuring out what she actually said. In my experience it is logically internally consistent. Even though it skewers some sacred cows. | null | null | 41,812,134 | 41,808,127 | null | null | null | null |
