I accidentally gave someone directions to the SFO airport instead of the Oakland airport. I realized my error right after the bart doors closed. I'm sure they missed their flight. this will haunt me the rest of my life

Step into the craziest visualization of the fourth dimension you have ever seen

What if the Navier-Stokes breakthrough just accidentally proved we’re not living in base-level reality? Think about what it’s saying… We have equations that describe how fluids behave incredibly well…until you push them far enough. Then something bizarre happens. The equations can create a vortex that gets smaller and smaller while its velocity approaches infinity. Reality basically throws an error… But obviously nothing in physical reality is actually moving infinitely fast. So what does the infinity represent? Maybe we’ve hit the resolution limit of the layer we’re observing… Like a video game. From inside the game, everything looks continuous. But zoom in far enough and eventually you hit the limits of the engine rendering it. Physics keeps doing this. Black holes…singularity. Big Bang…singularity. Now even fluid dynamics…singularity. Maybe infinity isn’t something that exists in nature. Maybe infinity is what the math spits out when we try to look beyond the resolution of our layer of reality. In other words… Maybe a singularity isn’t where reality breaks. Maybe it’s where the simulation stops rendering.

Gavin Baker says the physics PhDs calling orbital data centers impossible on X have not out-thought the 10,000 SpaceX engineers who treat it as solved "It's very hard for me to engage. There are all these people on X and they're like, I am a physics PhD and this is impossible." "There's a friend, another investor, who actually is a physics PhD, who I had many arguments about it with him, and he's like, I am a PhD and this is impossible. And then he goes to the SpaceX day and talks to the SpaceX engineers, and he's like, well, I was wrong." "So let's say you're an astrophysics PhD. You are brilliant, you're hanging 100 IQ points on me. Have you thought about this for an hour? Have you thought about it for 10 hours?" "Because you have 10,000 of the world's smartest engineers at SpaceX who've thought about this each for hundreds if not thousands of hours. And the sum of that, working with very sophisticated engineering tools, is it's a solved problem." _______ For more on Gavin Baker: firesidealpha.substack.com/p…

Strava's data is quite protected so I couldn't index it for Hoodmaps But the good thing is the US Census data publishes median income level and the data is very fresh and accurate, so I added it to 🗺️ Hoodmaps.com So now you can switch to [ 💰 Income mode ] and instantly see wealth or lack of wealth concentrated

They totally killed Claude with this ethics disclose stuff. It won't generate anything. Insane.

i personally think code review is dead. the team does not agree. directionally found this surprising.

Claude Science is incredible. I gave it some sequencing data, and in 8 hours it did a full analysis, generated figures, wrote a paper, submitted it for publication, got rejected, revised and resubmitted, got rejected again, it is now applying for positions in industry

My boyfriend suddenly became obsessed with going to the gym. New clothes. New haircut. New confidence. I thought he was preparing to leave me. One day I asked why he'd changed. He looked embarrassed. Then admitted: "One kid called me 'uncle' last month."
