Yup, FEX to translate x86 to ARM.
- Comment on Multiverse 9 months ago:
Under quantum mechanics this can’t explain non-even distributions. With no effects making high probability events more prevalent than others you can not (reliably) observe differentiated probabilities.
And once again, cardinalites appears. A thing whose possible variations correspond to infinite integers can’t match that with have variations matching the real numbers. An infinite line won’t correspond to an infinite hypercube in infinite dimensions. Gotta consider combinatorics from statistics too, as well as entropy. The number of normal states simply has to far exceed the strange states for us to observe a normal universe.

Something dark matter like has to exist, because there’s no other reasonable way to describe this behavior (shifted center of gravity matching presence of matter not influenced by friction)

Boltzman brains?
- Comment on Multiverse 9 months ago:
We’re getting into hierarchies of infinities here, look up cardinality. You can have infinities that can’t map to every possibility of a higher infinity
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 9 months ago:
You could also Steve Jobs yourself with a treatable but deadly disease
- Comment on I don't see the problem. It's A tree. It's not THE tree. 9 months ago:
Given the perfect grid pattern and a certain kind of coherence this kind of ML doesn’t usually preserve it’s much more likely somebody cut and paste the individual images into an ML based image generator to repaint them with English text
Stupid? Yes. They could have just taken the text alone into an LLM, or better yet regular translation program. But since when was the kind of people who blindly rely on ML smart?
- Comment on I don't see the problem. It's A tree. It's not THE tree. 9 months ago:
Could very well be ML repainting, “draw this image with English text”

It’s probably in-place translation using AI for a French book
- Comment on Is there an equivalent of solar panels for radio waves? 10 months ago:
Also microwave projection is used sometimes for power transfer at a distance (mostly stuff like between mountaintops or islands, also only in clear weather)
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 10 months ago:
No, male culture has changed far more due to propaganda, etc.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 10 months ago:
Culture of excessive individuality and independence plus macho culture
- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 11 months ago:
A drum roll can’t break an airplane window

- Comment on Premium Ads 1 year ago:
They do, and based on reported stats it gets them more per viewer. No idea if anybody’s audited those stats though

That’s the secret of NIMH
- Comment on How true is it? 1 year ago:
Technically it’s not the resolution that changes, but the optics (unless you want to bring out the fancy math and treat it as a sampling resolution thing based on smallest recognizable detail)
- Comment on Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies? 1 year ago:
Also so many head photos taken from an angle right in front of the face or a bit higher, distorting the shoulders in ways you don’t notice but which matters when the algorithm tries to splice everything together into an averaged model
- Comment on Where does the music go? 1 year ago:
There’s a physics argument that information can’t be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.

And if you don’t know who owns it, leaving a note to ask is simple.
I’ve been the one to leave stuff out that I didn’t have space for anymore, with a note on that it’s free to take

- Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry? 1 year ago:
Some dumb shit I see is setting SPF so Google is a trusted origin for email “to solve issues with sending to Gmail addresses” when what you’re supposed to do is add your mail servers as trusted origin.
Directionality, how does it work?
