Just a regular person.

@aaaronson I once encountered an official NYC gov document that randomly inserted “(pronounced ‘nice’)” after the first “NYC,” and it’s haunted me ever since. I haven’t been able to find the document again.

@clinic_lon76964 @NhavsMaimonides Asserting that geocentrism is possible because relativity refuses absolute heliocentrism is like asserting that 1 + 1 = 3 is possible because math refuses the alternative that 1 + 1 = 4.

[Person @rlprsn]

@clinic_lon76964 @NhavsMaimonides There is no “center” in relativity. Relativity fundamentally rejects that privileged vantage points can exist. The only sense in which the model is geocentric or heliocentric is in Newtonian mechanics, and in that system, it has to be heliocentric to account for inertial forces.

[Person @rlprsn]

@clinic_lon76964 @NhavsMaimonides It’s like saying science cannot provide evidence to support 1 + 1 = 3 over 1 + 1 = 4.

[Person @rlprsn]

@clinic_lon76964 @NhavsMaimonides The scientific position is not that you can’t prove either way, it’s that the concept is meaningless to begin with because these vantage points don’t exist in relativity. The entire concept of a privileged observer is only definable in Newtonian mechanics.

[Person @rlprsn]

@clinic_lon76964 @NhavsMaimonides But that isn’t Chabad’s position. They adhere to the Ptolemy model as articulated by Rambam, and use relativity jargon in an apologetic attempt to cover it in “science”

[Person @rlprsn]

@clinic_lon76964 @NhavsMaimonides If your position is that Chabad maintains geocentrism solely as a relativistic convention, and they do no not actually believe that the Earth is a privileged vantage point and acknowledge that it can’t be in classical mechanics, then we’re in agreement.

@patwoozey @EigenGender There’s no way to write this on Twitter without sounding like an ad, but I use general medicine. It’s literally advertised as a cheap way to get GLP1s, and I just need to make a same day, 5 min remote appointment once every three months.

@clinic_lon76964 @NhavsMaimonides First of all, Minkowski general relativity has nothing to do with this; it’s a question of standard 400 year old Galileon relativism. And it doesn’t work in this case because these aren’t equivalent inertial reference frames.

@WKCosmo “Finance” is being used inconsistently to refer to the industry in the case of Manhattan, and the people in the case of Brooklyn. NYC finance bros don’t live on Wall Street.

[Person @rlprsn]

@EigenGender Outside of shopping for referrals for a specialist, I can’t think of any reason to use real doctors anymore. They spend only 5 minutes with you and just spend the time putting your symptoms into their health network’s LLM, before saying they’re not sure what’s wrong.

[Person @rlprsn]

@EigenGender I’ve given up on it, I just use an online service that charges $25 per visit once every three months. It’s a shameless prescription mill, but frankly, I get much better treatment by using an LLM as my GP and relying on a mill for prescriptions once I know what I need.

@IsaacKing314 As is the word “battle,” which uses the archaic frequentative suffix -le, same as spark -> sparkle, daze -> dazzle, wrest -> wrestle.

@DrewPavlou That being said, Chakrabarti is an idiot and his definition of rights is equally incoherent. The defining feature of rights is that they are inherent, not given.

[Person @rlprsn]

@DrewPavlou The United States is a force for good in the world and should continue to exist. The United States does not have a right to exist. Those are compatible statements. “Right” does not mean “measure that I really super duper support.”

[Chris Rawley @NavalDrones]

Why do we do this to ourselves? Perfect is the enemy of good.

Just buy some National Security Multi-Mission Vessels and call it a day. Same goes for tenders and command ships

@VitalCityNYC The never leaving criteria makes it obviously 10, but if I had to pick one spot to live, it would be back home in 9.

@WillManidis I use AI for convo practice when I don’t have a irl partner available, but at the end of the day, language learning is a solved problem. The military can reliably get anyone from 0 to fluent, it just takes a certain number of hours, and AI doesn’t change that number.

[Person @rlprsn]

@TheRealKitty019 I also think the generic advice that engineering students need to do “projects” to be taken seriously is wrong and propagated by the software/tech world fundamentally misunderstanding mechanical and civil engineering.

[Person @rlprsn]

@CJHandmer If I were hiring, the CAD/Arduino slop that every eng student is being encouraged to put out tells me nothing. Yet another inverted pendulum robot gives me no insight into whether, for example, you can properly interpret an industry spec to select the right component material.
