  1. https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/musk-putin-secret-conversations-37e1c187 “At one point, Putin asked the billionaire to avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, said two people briefed on the request“ This is beyond worrisome.
  2. @Husseinisdoingfine Most certainly it is possible. Started this work as a teenager in a fucked up household and country. I am currently in the US, finishing up an Ivy degree, having set up myself and my family. Only up from here. Stop feeling bad for yourself and bite the bullet.
  3. @EdgeGod900 The “follow your bliss” people have large red and blue shadows. In life you have to do a lot of miserable shit that will make you stronger and more disciplined. Forget the hippe slogans for now and drill down on your strengths and weaknesses, so you can set yourself up. Then you can choose to bask in the sun and meditate without any distractions.
  4. For being a waste of server space on this forum. I am yet to see a meaningful post from you.
  5. I wouldn’t use “purple” as a language qualifier, but I definitely resonate with your motivation. I speak 4 languages and want to learn Tamil next - spoken by 65 million people - it is the oldest Dravidian language with 60% of ancient texts in India being written in it.
  6. That’ll be you when he bans you, which will be soon enough.
  7. You not even American. The fuck are you going to do?
  8. Build the skills first. Especially if you are interested in AI. Some of the smartest and most educated people work there. Bachelors may not be enough for it. Im prepping for a PhD for that reason. All the ”wrapper”/non-technical companies will get eaten alive - that’s what happened with all the RAG, Vector DB and PDF chatbot companies.
  9. You keep coming up with these low quality posts. You think anyone on this forum doesn’t realize what a lying and delusional person Trump is? Find something better to do with your time than scrolling through that brain rot on Tik Tok.
  10. I am not doing the pills, just the foam (rogaine). You don’t have to take them for life, I plan on using it for a year more.
  11. @Bobby_2021 You are the type to get eaten by the starved lion for thinking you can help. A communist dictatorship will break you. Kim Jong Un doesn't need your sympathy.
  12. Assuming you are guy for this answer, sorry if wrong. The higher your T levels, the more you will crave it. When I was younger I tried the no fap BS and all that, but it is just unsustainable. Most ppl who demonize porn have some repressed sexuality to have to address (like I did). Nothing wrong with it. Different people have different kinks/cravings. As with everything, there are definitely both high and low quality sources. Don't overdo it and you will be fine.
  13. There are definitely levels to it. There's fast food sex and there's some minblowing shit that will make you touch other dimensions - mnot even kidding. Finding a right partner is necessary for the latter.
  14. Change the pictures. Not that deep.
  15. Yah, that's normal. I am a powerlifter, squatting 405 lbs/180 kg for reps and I still find overhead squats hard. My problem is I have low mobility in my shoulder from all the benching, so I can't get proper form. Idk if it's similar for you, but my tip is to work on that mobility. Standing shoulder press helps for strength.
  16. First learn a valuable skill and then find a way to maximally automate it. All the passive income bros are parasites imo.
  17. Ditto. All the commie liberals need to go live in China or NK to understand what it really means. Tired of idealizations.
  18. Been using minox for my beard for like 13 months. No changes in libido or dick function lol. You are fine, stick with it.
  19. 3 days ago (10/18) I wrote the following in my journal: Quote Start: The following fuzzy picture has emerged in my head - 'universality' - the phenomenon of macroscropic structure, independent of microscopic structure, is what sits at the root of the [[Chaos, Entropy, Order]] paradigm. The understanding that mathematical disorder is impossible is what has lead to the search for such underlying structures. I see these glimpses emerging in entirely disparate fields of mathematics, physics and statistics that nonetheless share bridges between each other. Some of those bridges are: - [[Statistical Mechanics]] - conformal field theories as the limit of many stochastic models (brownian, Ising, SLE) - use of string-theoretic language as well -[[S. Smirnov]], [[W. Werner]], [[H. Duminil-Copin]] - [[Liouville quantum gravity and the Brownian map III - the conformal structure is determined]] - KPZ universality and Tracy-Widom/ GOE/GUE - - [[An exact solution for the KPZ equation with flat initial conditions]] - [[The One-Dimensional KPZ Equation - an Exact Solution and its Universality]] - [[ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE LENGTH OF THE LONGEST INCREASING SUBSEQUENCE OF RANDOM PERMUTATIONS]]] - KPZ regularity structures and TQFTs - [[Martin Hairer]] - RMT universality [[Eugene WIgner]]" - [[Representation Theory]] modular forms and algebraic groups (particularly proven for the monster group, but also known for other sporadic groups) - use of string-theoretic and CFT language as well - [[Richard Borcherds]] - Langlands progam - conjectured bijection between automorphic forms and Galois representations through the universality of zeta/ l-functions -[[Robert Langlands]] - [[Number theory]] - Riemann zeta hypothesis universality Quote end The following is today's Quanta article (10/21), describing Roger-Ramanujan identities, establishing a very deep relationship between partitions. You will see the applications matching word for word the fields that I intuitively connected in my notes. This was the missing link. At moments like these the only way I can describe it is that the Universe is talking to me.
  20. The following journal will be based on excerpts from the notes of my ongoing investigation into the paradigm of 'Chaos, Entropy, Order', seeking to establish the foundations of the upcoming transition from Tier 1 (deterministic and closed-form thinking) to Tier 2 (non-deterministic/stochastic emergence of macroscopic/holistic order). It is inspired by the long-forgotten history of my ancestry, namely the Orphic tradition and more specifically: the Orphic triad of Chaos, Eros and Gaia (termed by Ralph Abraham but miscategorized as Greek in origin). Its primary purpose is that of a rigorous reformulation of contemporary Mathematics, Statistics and Theory of Computation (based on my background) by taking holistic and interdisciplinary inspiration from variety of topics and subjects, such as Statistical Mechanics, Measure Theory & Functional Analysis, Integrable Probability, Category Theory, Representation Theory, The Free Energy Principle, Active Inference, Bayesian Mechanics, Chaos Theory, QFT, Fluid Computing, etc. The format would be loose and free-flowing but primarily technical in nature. Scientists, whose works serves as inspiration - Karl Friston, Michael Levin, Chris Fields, H, Haken, John Baez, Ilya Prigogine, David Spivak, S. Smirnov, A. Grothendieck, A, Kologomorov, A. Borodin, etc. It has been by far the largest recontextualization in my neural net to date, combining years of experiences both in the spiritual and psychonaut, as well as the mathematical/ scientific realms. It has given me a decade-long purpose with both spiritual and technical realization. Date of crystalization in consciousness: 18th of August, 2024 Main ideas - First is the postulate of the fundamentally unknowable and intractable nature of Chaos, i.e the ontology of Consciousness in its primal form. - The second is the postulate of entropy. From it follows the fact that Mathematics and Science are our generative models based on the sampling of Chaos through the Active Inference/Free-energy principle with the purpose of minimizing surprise (maximizing entropy). The principle implies a never-ending cycle of model building/refinement and eliminates the existence of a UFT/ToE, i.e an 'end to science' precisely. Papers/books, such as 'On the statistical mechanics of life' or 'Every Life is on Fire', 'Evolution 2.0', 'Undeniable' examine more in depth the misconception entropy implies disorder - in fact the opposite - Life emerged as the most efficient driver of entropy: 'You start with a random clump of atoms, and if you shine light on it for long enough, it should not be so surprising that you get a plant' - Jeremy England - Third is the postulate of abstraction/order - Reality as a Holon - described by the need to observe reality at different levels independently: Quantum Fields -> Particles -> Atoms->Molecules-> Cells -> Tissue ->Organs -> Organisms -> Societies/herds/flocks-> Ecosystems-->... Cognition/Intelligence is presence everywhere - from the smallest collective behavior of electrons, to the largest systems and networks. Technical Foundations The complexity we encounter in contemporary problems of energy, climate, societies and ecosystems cannot be handled by the contemporary human-centric, deterministic and closed-form solutions. The need for stochastic and emergent systems has become apparent. The theory would be based on the following technical undertakings: - Transitioning from Hamiltonian (deterministic, trajectory-based) to Langevin dynamics (stochastic, probability-based) - Categorification of Probability Theory and Stochastic Systems, allowing for the abstraction of entropy/free-energy principle as a topological operad, applicable to any system, ranging from Plasma and Fluids, to Cellular and Biological networks, to contemporary AI models. - Embedding of the novel framework into appropriate computational paradigm, resting on the idea of Functorial bridges. - Transitioning away from Set Theory towards Topos-inspired foundations of mathematics, allowing to embed all current mathematical structures as macroscoping phenomena of miscroscopically-stochastic systems Each postulate and technical direction is sufficiently rich to warrant year-long investigations. For that purpose, my timeline and approach is very strategically adjusted based on my current technical background, as well as my vision for the next few years. Current scope of investigation - The rigorous foundations of Random Matrix Theory (Created by Wigner as part of the Statistical Physics of QFT) based on Heavy-Tailed distributions. The inspiration has been work by researchers at DeepMind, Gerard Ben Arous, and Charles Martin, the lattter of whom has empirically found direct connection with the weight matrices of NNs, and model performance, independent of training and testing data.

  22. Yah, nah, that UK answer is BS. Canada and NZ sure. But still, point is “chose your major” is an exception, not the rule.
  23. Like what? UK you can’t, Germany you can’t, Netherlands, Switzerland and France as well. Every country my peers have went to is like that.
  24. Xaos =Chaos = Croc Eros = Entropy = Love Gaia = Truth = Order
  25. @Ayham College, especially for technical fields, is hard. I have always been a straight A student, but that I still work 10-12 h days. So bite the bullet and study what you want, otherwise you will suffer. Even if you take a gap year. It’s time to grow up and make your own decisions.
