News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

GonzoVeritas

It's the cleaned-up version.
I've taken Ibuprofen for years for my recurrent headaches, and only recently (after decades) discovered that I had two underlying issues that seemingly caused them. The first was gluten intolerance, which presented as inflammation, and apparently I was also chronically dehydrated. I cut out wheat and started drinking tons of water and the headaches, which plagued me all my life, have almost completely disappeared.

Had I not found the cause, I would still be popping Advil almost daily. Of course, my issue and solution is almost certainly vastly different from yours or any other person, but the key was finally discovering the underlying cause. That was the tough part.

All that said, the damage has been done, hopefully the dementia doesn't set in anytime soon. My mother just died this year with dementia, it was NOT an easy ride.

It appears to be somewhere between a prank and satire. (or maybe they have larger ambitions.) If you take a look at their videos hosted on Vimeo, "Simulation" seems to be associated with a company called "Fable."

Just from a cursory look, it appears Edward Saatchi is associated with both. (although that could just be coincidental.)

The Vimeo account lists two websites, the first, fable-studio.com, which links back to the Simulation site and the other is for the Virtual Beings summit at virtual-beings.com. (Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/user94220217)

"Simulation" may be satire, an art project, a well-executed joke, or precursor to an actual company, but whatever it is, they've put a lot of work in it. It has a lot of AI-generated assets in the main site, but the overall design work is impressive, the concept has been well fleshed-out, and the execution is on point.

It's clever and interesting, I want to see what comes next.

Pay the man.

Bill Gates calls this the future of education. I think he is correct. I am doing a project involving corporate training and this method has vast implications for my work. I also have three school age children, and they will be "attending" Khan tonight. This is the very first post I've read on HN and I'm overwhelmed by its significance. Thanks!
