  • “If we assume X theorem is true, Y theorem is true, and lemma Z is true, then …”

    This is actually about our models and seeing their incompleteness in a new light, right? I don’t think starting from arbitrary axioms and then trying to build reality was about proving qualities about reality. Or am I wrong? Just seems like they’re using “simulated reality” as a way to talk about our models for reality. By constructing a “silly” argument about how we can’t possibly be in a matrix, they’re revealing just how much we’re still missing.













  • Because maga are human and they have similar capabilities to us.

    For example, I know you know that they are often draped in Christianity, patriotism, etc. Does that mean we’re all anti-christian and anti-american? We see right through their camouflage.

    They learn to associate us with certain labels. And then they learn new labels in the context of labels they’ve internalized. Antifa means a bunch of things that mean a bunch of things that mean a bunch of things.




  • My single 996 MEGAhertz processor, 512mb ram, 128mb vram setup could just about run Battlefield 2, Counter Strike Source, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. These games often had higher minimum requirements but I managed.

    Balatro, a modern card game, starts off with minimum requirements of two 3 GIGAhertz cores and a gigabyte of ram.

    Comparing AAA Valve with an indie dev isn’t fair but it’s objectively true that relatively simple concepts now require substantially more resources. That’s like several Battlefield 1942 instances to 1 Balatro instance.
