The sixth finger is the mark of the witch

Imaginary numbers are the proof that even in mathematics you can discover stuff even though you don’t understand what you have found. Complex numbers encode rotation.

Yeah I heard it runs on 3 billion devices lol

Nice picture, but you should keep you brain cleaner.

For how much he lost he must be buying avocado toasts with little diamonds in them, and then getting his teeth remade every day after they got destroyed by chewing the diamonds.

Yeah i don’t know why, probably exactly because is such a neglected feature that it offers workarounds for some limitations, like in the case of cookie-related patterns.

That’s a good.way to burden a competitor with a huge project.

Does this stop me from adding to my website an iframe to facebook where facebook can keep its cookies for my user? That would be great but I doubt it.

Well matter is mostly made of empty space

BMX Jesus FTW

Remember this at the next elections, when you will have that incredible urge to not vote or to vote right.

“Congenital anomalies, which are the leading cause of infant death, also increased in Texas but not the rest of the US.”

Just in case anybody was wondering

Came here to say this. As much as I don’t like china, there is really nothing to see (apart from the source, that’s for everybody to see).

Bots gotta bot

Edit: if you can find a way to make even this look bad, there is no doubt who you are voting for.

Sure, the package managers of other languages are super safe

Yeah maybe this way of handling retirement doesn’t work? It’s clearly a pyramid scheme.

I really have no idea what these sentences mean. I feel like I’m having a stroke. Is it just me?

First of all thank you, I wasn’t aware of the concept of acausal trade, and I’ll look more into it. Very interesting.

I’m not sure we are discussing the same aspect of this mind experiment, and in particular the aspect of it that i find lovecraftian is that you may already be in the simulation right now. This makes the specific circumstances of our world, physics, and technology level irrelevant, as they would just be a solipsistic setup to test you on some aspect of your morality. The threat of eternal torture, on the other hand, would only apply to you if you were the real version of you, as that’s who the basilisk is actually dealing with. This works because you don’t know what of the two situations is your current one.

The basilisk is trying to estimate the future behaviour of real you on the basis of the behaviour of the model he has created of you.

In this scenario you can think of me as a pseudopod of the basilisk that is informing you of the details of the stipulation by means of this post.

Of course, if you are the real version of you the basilisk would need to be something that can be created in this reality, which i think is only impossible with our current approach to ML and AI, but is otherwise within our grasp given the computational power we have available. But if you are a fake version of you the real world could be radically different from ours and maybe in that world P=NP.

but not as easily dismissable

My favourite part is when elon uploads trump’s mind to the net but since his technology is shit the instance of trump is in permanent excruciating pain forever
