Black hole simulation thread! 🧵

Most people understand that if you put enough energy into a small enough space, a black hole will form. Here's what that looks like: (the sharp ring at the end is the event horizon)

French Canadians mad when the flight attendants yell "BRACE" during an emergency instead of "adoptez la position de protection"

@gabriel1 Even with a math background it takes significant work to understand what these theorems are stating in the first place, never mind the proofs. This is really niche, deep stuff

@matt503ea5sf9z5 Where do you even find the victims though? I'm not chatty enough

@cassidoo Go back to at least two nines of uptime

@thsottiaux Oh, and colourblind mode

@thsottiaux Linux app please!

"What if we copied gen 1 but made it look even worse"

Acabo de quedarme completamente PERPLEJO 😭

Hay un proyecto de decompilación de Pokémon Rojo y Azul que permite jugar el juego en 2.5D, a la resolución que tú quieras y encima pudiendo cambiar hasta los escenarios de batalla.

Estamos hablando de Pokémon Rojo/Azul, pero llevado a otro nivel.

Esto es una auténtica locura.

I post one pokemon AI video and my entire is taken over by awful looking 2.5D remakes of gen 1 games

@fvdessen I had to stop last year because it spent $200 walking in circles in Mt Moon 😂

Rewriting my project from last year. Smarter, faster, more agentic.

[Costa @Clambr0]

@thsottiaux Game changer for my Luna-powered Pokemon project. Thank you!

@OpenAI This is now cheaper than the original Gemini flash model I was using last year BEFORE accounting for all the efficiency improvements I'm making

[Costa @Clambr0]

@OpenAI Luna price cut is insanely good news! It's powering my Pokemon AI project and I was getting nervous about the cost

Wow. Sol just gave me a genuinely insightful solution to a problem that's been plaguing me for a while

[Costa @Clambr0]

Of course they do this right after I get mine renewed the old fashioned way

🚨 BREAKING: Canada has launched online passport renewals.

As of July 28, Canadians can renew their passport online if they:

• are 16 or older

Applicants can upload a digital passport photo, track their application in real time and receive updates as it is processed.

The government estimates up to 2 million applications per year could be eligible for the new online service.

@giffmana I prefer "and try not to fuck it up this time"

Gonna have to go back to writing code manually for the sake of my blood pressure if these agents don't stop getting quantized on me

Codex: "I need to build this to not crash if the user doesn't have an OpenAI API key..."

WHY!?!?! IT'S AN AI APPLICATION. ALL IT DOES IS CALL THE API. YES THEY NEED A GODDAMN API KEY. WHY DO YOU MAKE UP THESE INSANE REQUIREMENTS AAAAAAAHHHHHHGGG

Built a genetic algorithm to find a counterexample to the reconstruction conjecture. It independently discovered the Bowler–Brown–Fenner construction, as well as a couple of other interesting families, but was unable to crack the conjectured 2n/3 ceiling. Still, I had fun.
