That’s not how probabilities work. Every lifeform flips a coin. It doesn’t matter what everyone else got, you still have a 50/50 chance.

- Comment on New York City's new solar-powered school buses will support the grid too 1 week ago:
People don’t need to park busses and trams, and bikes are easy to park. The need to big parking lots is a symptoms of misguided and destructive urban planning
- Comment on New York City's new solar-powered school buses will support the grid too 2 weeks ago:
I’d much prefer turning parking lots into parks, but this is a good short-term compromise

If you are standing in a closed box, there is no experiment you can make that tells you whether that box is standing on earth, or is on a rocket in space accelerating at 9.81m/s²
This has a bunch of interesting implications about the nature of spacetime

It is an interesting theory, for sure. Instead of countless 3-dimensional particles, you have a single (or very few) 4-dimensional objects. You can imagine it like a sheet of fabric that is our present, with everything above the sheet being the future, everything below the past. When you want to sew a thread (our electron) through the sheet, you need to pierce the fabric, but to do it again, you first need to piece it the other way, giving you a positron. You can create or destroy arbitrary many of these, but you need create or destroy one of each every time. More interestingly, it is exactly determined which two will annihilate each other, as the allegorical loop of thread gets pulled tighter and tighter until it gets pulled though the sheet. The universe would be deterministic.
I’m sure there’s a myriad of contradictions to modern QM and particle physics, but it’s fun to think about nonetheless

- Comment on Arc Browser - Changing focus when the main product isn't even finished? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I’ll stick to it yet, since I really heavily on vim bindings through Tridactyl, and I got a feeling they won’t play nice (yet?). Zen is also not packaged on nix yet, so configuring it declaratively is going to be a pain
But I like what I see, so I’ll give it a shot! If it’s not for me, I can still recommend it to others, some of my friends are newly moving to Linux and I’ll take that chance to get them to ditch Opera, this might replicate some of the features quite nicely. Cheers!

- Comment on Nihilism spectrum 3 weeks ago:
Not true, topolgically the route
left nostril -> sinus -> right nostril
is another hole. So is
any nostril -> sinus -> mouth.
ears have the eardrum, so they don’t count.
For the more formal definitions of topological holes, look up Betti numbers. What we’re currently talking about is the Betti number b_1. For humans, that is at least 3 (but I’m sure I’m missing many more holes). Unless you’re missing the entire septum.
- Comment on Nihilism spectrum 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure most people have more (topological) holes than one
Both nostrils, for example
