mw67··on 388 years ago, Galileo worked out why human giants can't exist
What about dinosaurs? not sure he's explanation makes sense given we have proven that giant dinosaurs where roaming on earth for ages.
mw67··on GPT-5.6 used a prompt to close a 30-year gap in convex optimization
Crazy how intelligence is cheap, efficient and commonplace now. We humans better refocusing our energy on our core values/principles, given most of our skills are becoming irrelevant
mw67··on Meta deletes popular 1M follower account after Kuwaiti request
Crazy that these mega corporations still bow to the requests of countries. Would they do the same of any important actor requesting censorship? like if Elon or Bezos make a request, they'd get ignored, even though they're more powerful than Kuwait.
mw67··on Reverse Engineering Life and Reality
Hey HN, wrote this blog posts into various chapters as I realized many of the topics I studied empirically converge to the same principles, which I think should be studied more for those trying to understand what this reality is all about.

Someone makes a kickstarter out of it please
mw67··on New mathematical framework reshapes debate over simulation hypothesis
Funny people still call that "simulation hypothesis". At some point they should try to do some Past lives regressions or Out of body experience (astral projection). Then they'll know for sure what this reality is about.
mw67··on Nobel Peace Prize 2025: María Corina Machado
Barack Obama is the only two-term President in US history to be at war every day of his Presidency. The only one.
mw67··on Nobel Peace Prize 2025: María Corina Machado
The deal won't even last, we all know Israel can't stop killing until they get all the lands they want, and Trump knows it too: https://x.com/Megatron_ron/status/1976374346538156429
mw67··on Safe Superintelligence Inc.
Reminds me of OpenAI being the most closed AI company out there. Not even talking about them having "safe" and "Israel" in the same sentence, how antonymic.
mw67··on AskHK: What are good photo edition tools for macOS? (between GIMP and Preview)
Looks great, thank you

mw67··on A Timeline of the OpenAI Board
Finally a board that acts to benefit all humanity as the charter demands. VCs want billions so they will try anything starting with the nonsense of “do no harm” priciple which has nothing to do with corporate governance. It is the Hippocrates oath taken by doctors. VCs are already cheating, expect more to come. They come from the ethic of move fast, break things, make billions and show no conscience about the masive harm done to all humanity. Let us see in detail how a greedy bunch will remove the fiduciaries of all humanity and make us all pay dearly for their privilege.
mw67··on Ask HN: How do I manage the profit of a successful website?
Invest the extra cash, let the money do the work for you.
mw67··on Ask HN: What tools have most helped your day-to-day productivity?
The "Do Not Disturb" mode on my mac and iphone
mw67··on Ask HN: Once and for All
Or because some people have personal believes, or simply cannot comprehend some phenomenons - by studying the topics you would 'demystify' them and explain them in a cartesian way to the general public
mw67··on Ask HN: Once and for All
Ah! Just got into the life after death topic... what is our life on Earth about. And really this is controversial. It started when I read this book just last weekend, hasn't slept much since that, try to gather information and I'm getting mind-blown at every step. The book is Journey of Souls (https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Souls-Studies-Between-Lives/d...)

There is a good summary on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzwle9gjC2E

mw67··on We're in a simulation, and nobody seem to care
She might know the other language actually. I'm not an expert but asking the therapist that runs the hypnosis would know the answer (if they had a patient with a previous life in another language).

My feeling is that what the person remembers are feelings/emotions and images in her head from the previous life, these images and emotions are explainable/translatable in any language.

mw67··on We're in a simulation, and nobody seem to care
Yes that person in the previous life would talk through the mouth of the person being hypnotised. Even if in the new life she doesn't know the previous language she would remember the information and feeling, and will be able to express them in the new language.

I just found this video which summarises a lot of answers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzwle9gjC2E

Fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzwle9gjC2E
mw67··on Tesla Model S autonomously crashes into a parked trailer while in ‘summon’ mode
Someone in the comment of the article posted the image of the trailer, it was pretty tall and the Tesla probably doesn't have sensors for this height: http://img.ksl.com/slc/2590/259060/25906051.JPG

mw67··on Why are submarines demagnetized?
But as far as dangerousness, only 0.1A can kill a human, whereas voltage is not so important.

Has anyone tried both Mixpanel and Amplitude? What are your recommendations? We are deciding which one to use for our startup. We are specifically interested in measuring: 1/ retention (as per Amplitude's video), 2/ usage patterns on mobile, and 3/ user flows. Thanks

I think that would depend on the type of merchants. what kind of merchants are you talking about? how would you manage their inventory?

it's positive that customers like the product, is it an app or website? if you have enough users you can convince merchants that you'll bring them more business by showing them the numbers you currently have
