MIT trained cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says "embodied consciousness like ours has a probability of zero". This is a new finding discovered just weeks ago. The normal state of consciousness is not embodied. Hoffman frames the human condition as the worst possible interface. "We're like a marathon runner with weights, terrible shoes, and a backpack." We can't move a cup with intention alone. We move fingers and toes and arms, and from that narrow channel we have to scheme our way to doing anything physical.

"The normal case for consciousness in this framework is not to be embodied."

"In this mathematics, it's measure zero, probability zero."

"It dovetails with a lot of religious stories around the quote-unquote fall of man."

"To get to the moon, all I can do is move my fingers, my toes, my arms."

"It's low bandwidth and high latency."

"It's sort of like you can play the game of consciousness and move things around, but you're so restricted."

new grads often ask me what they should be doing so they don't fall behind in the ai space. there's a lot, but its honestly super manageable. become intimate with model internals. proof based linear algebra. non-convex optimization. this is stuff you could've done in undergrad. it definitely takes some time and work, but its doable. have taste, have opinions. train a small model, then train a big one. vLLM internals, tensor parallelism. hand roll kernels. cluster orchestration. do you have opinions on synthetic data? why don't you? SFT, PPO, you should know this. learn Triton. everyone is reproducing papers now so you need to be doing more. do you know the semi supply chain? where are the bottlenecks? hardware, man, hardware. your little gpu rig erector set in your basement isnt gonna cut it. build a cluster, a big one. pretrain a 800B model. now postrain it. serve it to millions of people. you should be able to beat deepseek on some benchmarks now. its a lot to take in but it all snowballs. this what job security looks like from now on. do you want to work in tech or not

i think spacex browser game just fixed my fried focus, lol

spent 20 min last night manually docking a crew dragon to the iss and my head went dead quiet for the first time in weeks.

it's the real spacex sim, free, runs in the browser, no install. ease the translation in, null your rotation rate, hold the crosshairs dead center, soft capture.

and that's the actual manual procedure the crew falls back on if autonomous docking ever drops.

https://t.co/sbbkQINbds, go dock something tonight.

🚨 A FORMER NASA ENGINEER CLAIMS HE’S DISCOVERED A “NEW FORCE” THAT CAN OVERCOME EARTH’S GRAVITY WITHOUT ANY PROPELLANT.

Charles Buhler, who spent years leading NASA’s Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center, says his private company Exodus Propulsion Technologies has found a way to generate thrust using only electric fields.

In vacuum chamber tests, their device reportedly produced enough force to counteract Earth’s gravity a claim that would completely rewrite the rules of propulsion.

Why this matters:

For over a century, every rocket we’ve ever launched has had to carry massive amounts of fuel.

If this “New Force” is real, spacecraft could one day maneuver indefinitely without expelling mass potentially making deep space travel, satellite station-keeping, and even atmospheric flight dramatically cheaper and more efficient.

The deeper implication is staggering:
We may be looking at the first real breakthrough in propellantless propulsion since the invention of the rocket.
If verified, this wouldn’t just change space travel it could reshape how we think about energy, momentum, and the fundamental laws of physics.

Of course, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. As of now, the work is still awaiting independent replication by outside laboratories.
But if this holds up…

What changes first space travel, energy production, or something we haven’t even imagined yet?
