I have no formal background in Physics, but I love studying Physics solo. I vibe coded this JS app in 3 hours with Anthropic's Opus 4.5 Pro using Google's Antigravity IDE.

Here's the full beginner's guide to the Quantum Vacuum: https://gist.github.com/llSourcell/15ef32987ab2f4f193a2c7be6...

Anyone else love studying Physics for fun? What part about Physics interests you the most?

lmao

no its not lower than text, its higher ROI than text for understanding the physics of the world, which is exactly what videos are better at than text when it comes to training data

I was at OpenAI Dev Day. I chatted with Sam, Mira, and Greg in-person. Everything seemed totally fine?? I am shocked.

he doesn't work at deepmind actually

Hey guys, it's Siraj. OpenAI asked me to make a promotional video for it on my Youtube channel and I gladly said yes! You can check it out here:

Glad my channel has helped you guys. I quit my job at Twilio to do this full-time. I'm on a warpath to educate and inspire the shit out of everyone. Human readable link: https://www.youtube.com/c/sirajology (I am Siraj, hi everyone)

they are. i know a guy on a self driving car team at apple

stop with the greek name bullshit already. pick another culture's mythology there are so many out there (hindu, african, persian, etc.) it will help you be a fresher writer

please stop saying 'BitCoin'. It's Bitcoin.

Lack of diversity.

Could someone ELI5 what this is?

ugh so annoying to compile can someone make this easier

Dude you're awesome

> Most successful businesses are not the result of passion projects.

I would argue against that statement. What makes you say that? Passion is the necessary driving force to keep someone motivated enough to follow through.

yes

voter coercion is orthogonal to online/offline voting.

It's pretty naive to say that 'politicians' don't have goodness in their heart, period. Like most things in life, one can't group a large subset of people to think exactly the same way.

The idea of liquid democracy is appealing because the issues are all opt-in. If there is a particular topic you feel passionate about, say funding stem-cell research, you can choose to vote on it. That + more votes makes it harder for special interest groups to influence outcomes.

The idea of liquid democracy is appealing because the issues are all opt-in. If there is a particular topic you feel passionate about, say funding stem-cell research, you can choose to vote on it. Maybe not everyone cares about who runs for X office, but I think giving people the option is always the better choice. Doesn't Italy have like the highest youth unemployment rate in Europe? I'd bet some young people have a lot to say on the matter.

Do you think President Obama is naive and idealistic as well? He's started to argue for the same. (http://www.infowars.com/obama-calls-for-mandatory-voting/) Since his term is nearing its end, he's becoming more fearless in talking about the influence of big money in politics and how making it easier to vote would greatly reduce its influence.

And yes, you are in my generation (Y). Please enlighten me in ways big money influences politics that cannot possibly be stopped by the democratic process.

I think the biggest catalyst for government reform in the internet era would be bringing voting online.

I'm 23 years old. My generation doesn't have the time or patience to wait in line to vote and fill out legal documents. We're used to apps that let us order delivery and message friends in a button tap.

The reason big money keeps winning is because our generation doesn't vote enough. If we make local and federal voting deadlines as simple as phone notifications, we're going to start seeing a a huge array of intelligent decisions injected into the political system.

The Pirate Party offers liquid democracy through online voting. I'm all for it, I hope Iceland sets an example for the rest of the world.

I'm curious how username/password storage will work with IPFS. What will authentication look like?

Towards the permanent web!

What incentive do blockstore nodes have to store data? Bittorrent nodes have the tit-for-tat mechanism for faster downloads. IPFS nodes get monetary compensation via 'filecoin' (in the works).

"We'll be committed to seeding the network and will work with others to have them run nodes."

What incentive do they have to run nodes? Bittorrent has the tit-for-tat mechanism. IPFS is planning on incentivizing nodes with filecoin.

its not about bitcoin, its about the blockchain.
