@jferguson032@WilliamHun66548@papiwontmiss You're blatantly retarded, unable to look at clear data and accept reality. It's always the blacks acting like unhinged violent animals. And it's always Muslims responsible for terrorism. Quit being a slack-jawed chubby-faced, cuckold faggot, disgracing your ancestors. Fuck you.
DISGUSTING: The U.N. has just elected the Islamic Republic of Iran to its committee responsible for shaping the agenda on human rights, women’s rights, and counterterrorism.
144 countries voted in favor.
The United Nations has become a complete joke.
@nicolaisagasser Have you been prompting about Interstellar? Anything specific to general relativity? It looks cool, but how physically accurate does it claim to be? Is it just a 3js visual?
@Lazarus38611569@ltgiv@elonmusk When we're at that level of abundance, why not take a customer's design of their own car -- make it functional and safe and road worthy -- and build it?
the chapter lead figs in Elementary Applied Topology are amalgams of mathematical & literary images, sprinkled with my own pet theories on literature. this one, from "Sheaves" is based on the Inferno. there are three famous episodes of a pair of sinners, trapped:
* francesca & paolo : in wind
* ulysses & diomede : in flame
* ugolino & ruggieri : in ice
the sins & the sinners get progressively worse...
to this i added a fourth -- dante & virgil : in earth, then past satan, descending/ascending to escape up to the final image of stars...
this is a satisfying mapping onto the 4 elements (+ quintessence). did dante intend this? not clear, but it's a pretty clear pattern once you see it...
It’s getting surreal.
A mathematician on X announced a solution to one of the most beautiful and elegant problems in mathematics. I’ll keep him anonymous. You’ll see why in a moment.
Is ℤ Diophantine in ℚ? In other words, can a single polynomial equation pick out exactly the integers among the rational numbers?
Equations like these go back to the ancient Greeks. This particular question has been open for decades. There are good reasons to expect the answer to be no. Surprisingly, the proposed answer is yes.
So, what’s the problem?
The problem is that the author candidly says in the post “I don’t have the expertise to understand this solution”, but he posts it anyway as he has “high confidence” on it.
The proof doesn’t even have the formal Lean verification.
This is literally an AI generated proof that looks plausible, but nobody has actually verified.
This is exactly what we call Epistemia. The argument looks plausible, and plausibility takes the place of verification.
Until recently, a mathematician would be embarrassed to announce a proof he couldn’t understand.
Now it risks becoming the norm.
I think this is partly due to short term incentives.
Announcements like this get you thousands of followers and interviews with journalists. (Now you know why I’m keeping him anonymous.)
Epistemia is already a big issue.
It’s a tragedy that short-term incentives - Andy Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame - are pushing people to become even more sick.

In the first comment, you’ll find our epistemological fault lines paper, where we discuss Epistemia at length. I think it’s useful to understand what’s happening.
Drag-and-drop makes the digital graspable, but building it well is fiddly enough that many don’t bother. Declarative Dragging (with Josh Horowitz & Jeff Heer, #uist2026 best paper award), lets you make an element draggable just by listing the states dragging it can reach.
When a Muslim Brotherhood member wins a Senate race, that’s NOT DEMOCRACY; that’s USEFUL IDIOTS hating their own country. When the mullahs in Iran took over, socialists helped them, and later, the Islamists killed them all. This is the most dangerous moment for Western civilization. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is a dark chapter in this great nation’s history.
And as the Bible warns:
“For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
Be careful what you plant in the name of democracy. You may not enjoy the harvest.
Don't typically share Nick videos. Here he's stating something that's absolutely true.
Your competition is not all people.... in any domain. Most people - the overwhelming majority of people - are not real competition. They don't work, they don't consistently show up, they don't dedicate themselves to actually learning their craft, and they aren't prepared to do anything without rewards for a very long time.
You are not competing against the world. You're only competing against a very very small subset of the population. And fortunately, there are so many different interests in the world there's not that much competition in any domain.
To my indie devs looking to build the 1,000,000th ai-marketing-whatever-scheduler... It is not a dumb idea. Because you likely have 500,000,000 potential customers and there are only 100 competitors that are actually placed to get any of those. And believe me. Breaking in that 100 will earn you more money than you ever set out to make.
Be consistent. Work hard. Show up every day regardless of how you feel. LEARN! ACTUALLY COMMIT TO LEARNING.
((I should define for you what learning means.... it's not reading, listening or watching information. That's not learning. Learning is when new information CHANGES your FUTURE behaviours. **That is learning.** How many people that you know ACTUALLY learn by this definition?))
Anyways, enough of a ramble.
Everyone's shit. You should assume 99% of the people that say they're really hungry and are going to do a thing aren't really trying. There is no competition. Just go out there and win and never be put of by fear of "competition".
I warned you all about this.
They will be lying. The actual goal of the big AI providers will be to outlaw open-source and open-weight AI in order to create a regulatory moat around their business, and have some hope of earning out their astronomical capital expenditures.
The claims will be about safety and equity, the reality will be a money and power grab. Brace for the bullshit avalanche that's coming.
