Beliefs are reality.

And again, what if all of this, avogadro numbers, hacker news, your conception of reality all were a hallucination? How would you know? How can you definitely prove it is not?

Hallucination with such details is not a mere hallucination, but a conspiracy. If the conspiracy is flawless, it's meaningless to differentiate it from reality, it's literally precise equivalence. It's a more complex theory than realism too.
Not sure what you mean by real there, the Avogadro number expresses precision at which you need to simulate reality to get something believable and a brain simply isn't big enough for this in purely quantitative terms.
