News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

It takes a wise man to understand a wise man.
Where did you understanding of this come from? Teach me this source of truth.
Even among farm animals, it's the alpha that gets to impregnate most females. Other males probably just choose to watch. Human animals uses words like farm animals to justify their obvious failure to reproduce with a multitude of females.
No. You can measure it through various lenses. This being one. Ideally you want to maximize the measurement across various lenses.

The only reason people find it funny is because most people can't afford to have kids with multiple women. Financially and time management wise. And probably the bar for women to have kids with someone who already have kids with many other women is also high. So by default 99.999 % of the men can't do this not because they choose not to. But they can't even if they want to.

So to protect you from this obvious failure psychologically, the body triggers a funny, absurd reaction when someone points it as a win musk has children with multiple women. It's okay.

Also genetically varied offsprings from point of view of nature is probably the only measure on how successful your life is. Have stood the test of time for millions of years.

Beliefs and opinions like labeling someone else incel physiologically create an illusion that you are somehow better than me. If fooling yourself helps you physiologically why not I am an incel.

Truth is harder to reach and require more than word gimmicks.

If those cherry picked definitions and ideas physiologically helps you justify why you didn't achieve remotely anything compared to what musk did sure why not.
You can criticize him all day. Reality is he is building rockets, electric cars, kids with multiple women, ai, neuralink, humanoid robots. Opinions of people are worthless. They think it matters because it gives them an illusion they are living a worthy life blah blah blah. At the end result matters.

I listened to this for a bit. I can agree the ideas are similar. Ramana Maharishi is another person to look into who is a bit more direct.

Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks for the explanation. I am still a bit confused how this takes care of the errors? I can see how the weather prediction for tomorrow might have less errors. But shouldn't the errors accumulate as you feed the predicted weather as the input for the model? Wouldn't the results start diverging from reality pretty soon? Isn't that the reason why the current limit is close to 6 days? How exactly does this model fixed this issue?
Re:Launch HN: Silurian (YC S24) – Simulate the Earth on Monday September 16, 2024 @01:18PM (#41558262)
I just don't understand how can your produce new knowledge which it don't have access to. Are you you folks claiming the future weather is a function of previous weather and the model is capable of replicating the function?

So ChatGPT has a cutoff date on the stuff it can talk about. This predicting weather sounds like ChatGPT being able to predict next week's news from which it has been trained on. I can see how it can probably predict some stuff like Argentina winning a football match scheduled for next week when played against India given India sucks at football. But can it really give any useful predictions? Like can it predict things which are not public? Like who will Joe Rogan interview in 2 weeks? Or what would be the blog post that PG will write in two weeks?

Also in schizophrenia you see/hear things that are not seen by others in material world.

Spirituality does not contradict with what others experience in material world.

You just start identifying more with consciousness and less with the body. That's the shift.

And if you also think about it scientifically it makes sense.

You are consciousness experiencing the world.

Not the body experiencing consciousness.

You are consciousness

Not the body.

The body ages. The cells changes. You remains. The consciousness sees the body.

This is a good video which explains this. Love to hear what you understood and if you disagree your reasoning behind it.

When did I make the claim I am morally superior? I just said most humans are in sleep mode. Even if I said that it's pointless. It's just a belief and not truth.

Also as I said in other comments till you experience a shift none of this makes sense to you. That's okay.

Re:The Disunity of Consciousness in Everyday Experience on Sunday September 15, 2024 @11:23AM (#41548027)
That's okay. I didn't decide to ponder the religious teachings. After the shift I immediately started to understand the teachings that I once thought was primitive and irrelevant. They all point to the same thing. It's hard to understand what they are pointing to without knowing or experiencing it. Read a bit about perennial philosophy. But it's a bit like telling to blind person what colors are. It will not make sense till you see.

It happened to me by chance. But I was seeking it. I think the journey has just started for me. It has its own challenges. But waking up with Sam Harris is probably a good place to start. I don't think it's also for everyone. Life became easy day to day but became more challenging in terms of purpose etc as ego dies.
Re:The Disunity of Consciousness in Everyday Experience on Sunday September 15, 2024 @10:39AM (#41547746)
99.99% of the human population is in sleep mode. Zoning out constantly. Once you became awake, everyday experiences starts to become beautiful and a bit magical. Also you start to ponder more on your awareness and topics like eternity, god, death etc come to your focus than make believe stuff like careers, identity, nationality, opinions shared in tweets, the story you have about your life etc. Also a once atheist you starts to immediately understand the religious teachings.

It's hard to understand this statement if you are not awake. I would have down voted this before the shift happened for me :)

You already lost if your mental model to create something is based on a VC company's marketing outreach or blogger dude's publicity outreach attempt.
Maybe he learned it was a mistake?
Turkey and India is probably not the best examples humanity want to try to emulate when it comes to human rights. And this is coming from someone born and raised in India.
Sorry. I was talking about this example where the person choose to risk a financial loss in favor of performing a more virtuous act for the society. He prefered to live a life with integrity over money.
I believe there is a non zero probability that you(awareness) are eternal and what you do in this life has consequences in subsequent lives.

It's okay for you to disagree. That's just my belief system.

You will at max live another 100 years. Where will he take all these extra savings to?
It's cause Countries are imaginary entities and humans just want drama and don't care to get it from their own imaginary entity or some other imaginary entity.
