    wrong different

    There is no such thing as normal, so embrace who you are in all of your different ways.

    Even if physical handicaps are involved, like you actually can’t walk a straight line or if you have difficulty breathing, that has its own challenges but it’s not wrong.

    And yeah. People can be really dick’ish sometimes and that sucks. The sooner you stop giving a fuck what they think, the sooner you can be happier with yourself.

    The second I embraced who I was, in my own ways, I could stop killing myself slowly with booze. Alcohol was just my own way of coping and it really sucked.

    It’s impossible for me to fully understand what you are going through, but FWIW, I can relate. And trust me, life can get better if you let it, but make no mistake: I know it ain’t as easy as saying the words.

    Chin up and keep on keepin’ on!






  • Thats kinda is how neural networks actually function. They don’t store massive amounts of data but, similar to us, tweak and adjust complex pathways of neurons that kinda just convert an input into a response.

    When you ask an LLM a question you are actually getting a list of words based on probabilities, not anything the LLM had to “think about” before responding. During its training, different patterns fed to the AI tweak and balance how and when specific neurons should fire. One way to think about it is that “memories” or data is stored in how the paths are formed, not actually in the core of the neuron itself.

    There are several hundred configurations of artificial neural networks that can mimic different functions of our brains, including memory.





  • I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

    I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.


  • Over the last few years, I have been thinking a ton about this style of article. They are riddled with phrases like “this shouldn’t be possible”, “breaks the laws of physics”, “it’s an impossible structure”, or something along those lines.

    While these phrases are partially click-bait and partially awe inspiring, I am starting to think that the approach we are taking for estimating the massive scale of things in the universe may be extremely flawed.

    I don’t claim to be a physicist or anything like that and am just your average internet idiot. However, it seems to me that working these problems in reverse might help. Our existing observations of the universe just seem to always put artificial caps on some problems, s’all.

    So, let’s take the most massive black hole we know of and then multiply it’s mass by say, a few million times. Immediately, there will be a barrage of people who would post a million (probably legitimate) counter points as to why that wouldn’t even be possible to begin with.

    It seems that given enough time, we eventually find some “impossible” things.

    While it’s easy so get lost in constraints like the possible age of the universe, likely theories of early black hole formation, etc… It seems that Occam’s Razor might be getting lost somewhere. I mean, even with all of our existing data that says otherwise, there is that thing that was impossible. It’s right there! What would it take to form that thing even if the conditions seem absurd?
