"The Boltzmann brain argument suggests that it is more likely for a single brain to spontaneously and briefly form in a void than it is for our universe to have come about in the way modern science thinks it actually did."

blaeks··on AniSora: Open-source anime video generation model
"The role of the artist has always been to provide excellent training data for future minds to educate themselves with."

We are not aware of the implications of this sentence. This is it. The only "source" is play. Joyful play.

blaeks··on Study sheds new light on Tutankhamun’s mysterious dagger ‘born’ from meteorite
I think that is the whole point - let us assume they did not know about the Widmanstätten patterns and s*iet we know now. What if they just enjoyed the beauty of that power from within;)

Without "knowing". So the power is "accidental" - accidentally in Tut's hands.

blaeks··on Stellarium
Question: Is there a possibility in Stellarium to place thyself on for example Pluto/Jupiter, some comet, or some nearby star (inside Milky Way or outside) - and look at the Milky Way center/another random star/area of space + have trajectories drawn when I "pres play on time" engine?

Using those perspectives - with all of the trajectories drawn, alongside with the preset universal/local/celestial coordinates, luminosity, maps... huge time-spans... is - informative for us who want/plan and work on slingshot maneuvers through space&time - it gives a spacial perspective for the game ^_^

Anyone remember "Red Shift 3"?

If (when) WW3 kicks into gear - I will most certainly spin-up a virtual win98 box and revive the 20 years old pleasure engraved in my teeth and synapses. Ah man - even the memory of those explorations and detailed reads on any particular object/area warms my broken heart.

Just try it - you will not regret it!
blaeks··on Regulation of neurotransmitters by gut microbiota, effects on cognition (2021)
I confirm that Lion's Mane is the single most important ingredient of my rocket fuel.

My transition: ~6 years ago I was a simple anglry slave in a rouge fitness industy, basically a programmed fool in international politics and I had brainfog, neurosis, nervous breakdowns and I was chasing my tail explaining to the world how to change for the better.

Approximately 2.7 years of: cold showers, deep drill into ketosis, tumo breathing... badically my take on wim hoff+monastic lifestyle+meditation+deep&detailed daily routine prrogramming, behavior twisting and extreme fasting over Upanishads, Buddha's texts, genital chi cong training, a dose of half maratons, three NDEs - and I feel like I've turned my brain ON.

I learned how to learn, invest and maintain business, art of living and I finally feel that my contribution to the community is tangible (on the surface the texure feels like a growing unimal/xenobot).

Key (visceral) thing is that my brain reads one signal from "my" guts: this is only a beginning of a multidecade thing.

Let me report the update on the next increment.

Namaste ^_^

blaeks··on How to learn mathematics: the asterisk method
"First learn. Then understand. Insight requires ideas to be uploaded to the mind first."

Yes, our mind has a 'backdoor' which is imho a slow write/read/breathe manifold we all can summon and it's free (both as a freedom, and as a beer).

blaeks··on A World Without Sci-Hub
Imagine the live map of the money-flow around the research/review/publishing/usage. It could give us some hints.

Pain becomes palpable If one think about it. Maybe some thermodynamically provable illustrations of the energy around the issue would help us illustrate the problem (read: the scale of sickness of the 'intellectual property')

My hunch is that we're at the stage where KWh could - and should be used as the universal money (with all implications and hurdles it may signal)

Like purified BTC.

blaeks··on Paradise lost: The rise and ruin of Couchsurfing.com
I like this feeling in my forearm bones when I just strike and hang my axe in a swollen vain of a pure and juicy Gold-pressed latinum of the Internet.

Naw, no judgement here - it's just a _gut feeling_ of a high-resolution detection/detector of the decline of the civilization-type-of-situation.

again, namaste to us all \m/
