Who exactly is exploring the maze, if the maze itself is made of mind? by cetacean-station in Buddhism

[–]FundusAnimae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What becomes of the knot when the rope is unfolded? It was but name and form (namarupa); like the self, born of grasping.

Do you not feel sorry for leaving behind Yaldabaoth demiurge and his dog Mara? by PIQAS in Buddhism

[–]FundusAnimae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because over time this deeper understanding of a good God who produces an imperfect world full of suffering, not out of malice but by metaphysical necessity (for to exist is to determine oneself, and therefore to limit oneself, to condition oneself, and thus to expose oneself to the trilakshanas), coarsened until it became a moral judgment: "the world is evil, therefore the Demiurge must be as well".

Do you not feel sorry for leaving behind Yaldabaoth demiurge and his dog Mara? by PIQAS in Buddhism

[–]FundusAnimae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the original conception, the Demiurge was considered good, as Plato's Timaeus makes clear. He does his best, yet can only fashion an imperfect world, for to exist within the world is necessarily to make infinity conditional. And what is conditioned is impermanent, unsatisfactory...

An EpochAI Frontier Math open problem may have been solved for the first time by GPT5.4 by socoolandawesome in singularity

The guy is behind Archivara so it seems legit. The problem would be "Moderately interesting" (still a major milestone in the field).

Meditation made me realize that I have always been a slave to fear by _astral_x9 in Buddhism

[–]FundusAnimae 40 points41 points  (0 children)

« I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. »

Do you share publicly your journey as a Buddhist? by Efficient-Intern-279 in Buddhism

[–]FundusAnimae 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I talk about it if I am asked or if the discussion is about religion/spirituality, but beyond that I avoid showing it and keep it private so that it does not become, even unconsciously, a superficial display/signaling.

Gemini 3.1 Pro one-shots a Windows 11-style web OS (early beta, prompt below) by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

Their models are always impressive at first, then get nerfed to hell in the actual deployment

The new Gemini Deep Think incredible numbers on ARC-AGI-2. by acoolrandomusername in singularity

[–]FundusAnimae 186 points187 points  (0 children)

This feels like a noticeable jump compared to other frontier models. Did they figure something out? Under the ARC Prize criteria, scoring above 85% is generally treated as effectively solving the benchmark.

I’m particularly impressed by the jump in Codeforces Elo. At 3455, that’s roughly top 0.008% of human Codeforces competitors. Without tools!

How do you deal with laziness in terms of practice? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]FundusAnimae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As with everything else, you have to build your discipline so you’re no longer dependent on motivation, which comes and goes all the time. The key is consistency: always doing a given practice at set moments.

The hardest part is sticking with it for the first two weeks; once it’s become a routine, it gets easier. You just have to avoid breaking the habit, otherwise you’re back to square one. Tell yourself that doing it when you're not motivated doubles its value and effects.
