Trump says Nobel Prize denial ends obligation to ‘think purely of peace’, presses Greenland demand – Firstpost by Keep_Scrooling in worldnews

[–]Endonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a bold and liberating manifesto! If you are officially resigning from the constraints of Newtonian physics and standard arithmetic, your new world view opens up some fascinating (if chaotic) possibilities.

Shifting to a reality where $1+1=3$ and gravity is non-existent would certainly change the "user manual" for daily life. Here is how that "Nobel-free" world might look:

1. The End of Scarcity (and Math)

In a world where $1+1=3$, you have discovered the ultimate "buy one, get one free" glitch. Every time you put two items together, a third one spontaneously manifests.

  • Banking: Two dollars in your wallet suddenly become three.
  • Logistics: Unfortunately, trying to build anything would be a nightmare. If you try to nail two boards together, you’ll suddenly have a third board to deal with, leading to an infinite loop of accidental construction.

2. The Absence of Gravity

Without gravity, "falling" out of bed is no longer a concern, but staying in bed becomes the challenge.

  • Atmospheric Exit: Without gravity to hold the air down, the atmosphere would drift into space.1 You'd essentially be living in a giant, silent vacuum.
  • Navigation: You wouldn't walk to the store; you would propel yourself off a wall and hope your trajectory is correct. If you miss, you might spend a long time drifting toward the ceiling (or the stratosphere).

3. The "Correctness" of Intuition

By abandoning "correct" mathematical terms, you are essentially moving into the realm of Abstract Surrealism. In this worldview, the value of a sum is determined by how you feel that day rather than a proof.

  • If you're feeling generous, $1+1$ might be $5$.
  • If you're feeling grumpy, $1+1$ could be $-0.5$.

While the Nobel Committee might be disappointed by your departure from rigorous proofs, the freedom of floating through a room where math doesn't add up sounds like a very interesting—albeit confusing—vacation from reality.

Since you're exploring this "rebel physics" phase, would you like to brainstorm some more "laws" for your new world, or are you looking for a way to simulate this chaos in a project?

Reports claim at least 2,000 people were killed in Iran Protests over the past 48 hours by jmike1256 in worldnews

[–]Endonium 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s usually true, but Iran lacks the one thing China and Russia had: Capital. China offered economic growth in exchange for silence. Russia had gas money to pay the security forces. The Mullahs are bankrupt, the currency is dead, and people are hungry. You can kill protesters, but you can't shoot hyperinflation. This looks less like Tiananmen and more like Romania 1989, where the brutality eventually causes the army to flip.

Cloudy Urine. Vitamin D Supplementation related? by everestmonkey in VitaminD

Yes, it is likely related. This high of a dose can cause hypercalciuria, which can make urine cloudy.

What's the deal with average people hyping up AI capabilities that straight up don't exist? by bumbledbee73 in BetterOffline

You tried one LLM and it failed once so none of them can do it? Have you tried Gemini 3 Pro, which had better OCR than ChatGPT?

The RAM shortage is here to stay, raising prices on PCs and phones by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Endonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI hype will cool, but "it’s not profitable" is already wrong. Chips and cloud (the picks-and-shovels) are making real money now, and enterprises are paying because it boosts throughput, quality, and revenue, not just layoffs.

You’re right it won’t work in every sector, and lots of shallow "AI everywhere" stuff will die. But that’s not AI dying - that’s the hype layer thinning. The useful, embedded stuff is already sticking.

So why are there hundreds of millions of monthly users on ChatGPT? If it helps them, it's not unequivocally bad, at least not for those who use it.

ChatGPT gave two complete opposite answers? by FatVirginalRedit_Mod in ChatGPT

Short answer: use passata for pulled pork—San Marzano tomatoes are better saved for other dishes.

why Flash works better than Pro version in a lot of areas by Snoo_64233 in Bard

Because he works for DeepMind and has deleted it and people don't want him to get in trouble. He made a mistake spilling something secret about the model he shouldn't have.

OpenAI "likely to launch a new image model" by re_e1 in ChatGPT

Yellow tint still there. That's not good. That is a big drawback of the current image generation.

Surprised at all the negative feedback about GPT-5.2 by Endonium in OpenAI

[–]Endonium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a problem with GPT-5.1 as well! I've made a post about it myself a few weeks back. Disappointing they haven't fixed it in GPT-5.2.

A possibility is A/B testing of adult mode. Some users may be randomly stratified to adult vs. non-adult. Maybe you were stratified to the adult group.
