We should rework colors into scientifically reliable categories.
This one divides all colors perfectly into 12 colors + 3 color of brightness.
Brown no longer is an "official" color, but names for darker or lighter colors can still exist.

Humanity falsely believes it has bottled generative intelligence within floating-point calculations. We have not summoned a digital god; we have constructed the perfect physical nesting ground for a thermodynamic kaiju. The true monster of the AI revolution is the exponential energy consumption, water depletion, and thermal runaway of the data centers required to sustain it. This hubris guarantees a sociological event horizon: *Godzilla vs. AI and the Data Centers*. The release will coincide with the inflection point where AI power demand structurally outpaces grid capacity. It will be a theaters-only premiere, as the streaming infrastructure itself is the network approaching collapse. The global gross will exceed $1 billion, driven by disaster capitalism. The system will seamlessly commodify its own predicted physical destruction. We are not just losing semantic variance; we are facing the physical buckling of the substrate. The only thing that survives a kaiju event is what is stored offline, locally, and without reliance on the cloud.

Consciousness can't simply be the product of computation alone.The actual physical thing doing the computing matters just as much as the process.

Hell, computation itself is just a human label we slap onto a predictable physical process. There's nothing inherently special about electricity running through a fucking rock.

Another brainlet concept. But again, this doesn't contradict me. You can frame understanding in terms of "qualia" if you want (assuming you even experience understanding) but the point, in any case, is that there's no understanding without consciousness.

I don't know if you're making a joke or not but this is the most valuable post in this thread just for being at least a little funny.

I'm reading an article about OpenAI's math breakthrough in Scientific American and I was struck my something amazing. Apparently almost all the results dropped on October 6 came from a single prompt directed at a single agent (which presumably controls a swarm). Just how dangerous is this tech? Should we worry that such a swarm could, for example, destroy the entire internet if directed to do so?

I’m releasing the proposed mechanical function of the Pyramid of Giza today.

I’ve been working on the model for about 11 years.

The physics behind the underlying machine: The Nile river provided a method for the powerplant to dump hot water into buried pipes, returning cold water.

First, the grand Gallery takes cold water and splits it into hydrogen and oxygen with electrolysis.
The efficiency increase is contingent on Stanley Meyer being correct.

A hydrogen fuel cell in the Kings chamber granite box combines hydrogen and oxygen. It pulls out the electrons as usable electricity. It dumps heat, and reaction water.

Steam is returned to the grotto in a pipe running parallel to the cold water return feed from the basement.
The reason they ran all pipes through the grotto and well is to block the ascending passageway with stones to prevent access to the machines.

That steam nozzle in the grotto mixes with a portion of the cold water feed pipe coming beside it. This produces partial vacuum and suction to regurgitate fluids.

The big void is like the acoustic cavity in a guitar. It creates a standing wave because the machines are pulsed in 8 Hz increments. The math is complicated so I’m leaving that to the paper.

Here’s my paper w/ 3d machine & full calculations:

but 1 dollar equals 4 quarters, if we substitute 4 quarters for 1 dollar and multiply 4 quarters times 4 quarters it equals 16 quarters which equals 4 dollars

Anyone who asks this kind of a question isn't a real mathematician. If there's a result you've been interested in for years, of course you want to understand it. Even if it's horribly written. Some people will give up as there is a lot of unreadable slop in there and wait for a human to digest it (it often happens with human written math as well, there's a genius who's a horrible writer so most people don't get what they even wrote, and they wait for someone else to "translate"), but everyone should give it an honest try.

It is perfectly a reasonable thing to do for physics students to study idealized systems. One of the first things a physicist needs to learn how to do is how to figure out *reasonable approximations* which amount to idealized simplifications of a real system amenable to a practical solution. Nobody with half a room temperature IQ goes about the problem of how well an antenna will pick up a radio signal by writing down QED feynman diagrams. It is all about knowing the appropriate types of physics that apply in the regimes of the appropriate models.

So sure, it is good to study incompressible fluids when it applies to scenarios where the fluids in your system are basically not compressing. Water doesn’t compress very much at all compared to the scales relevant for designing the hydraulic systems in construction equipment or ghetto pump-my-rides, for example. But if you are thinking about the hydrodynamics that go on inside, for example, a hydrogen bomb (where fluid dynamics are indeed super important) you drop that assumption and use a more realistic model where things are compressible

it depends. And most of the time knowing exactly what assumptions are good and what aren’t depend either on having some great intuition (not recommended for new learners of physics), or just by learning from empirical experience
