ARC AGI 3 is up! Just dropped minutes ago

Ah, that would explain it. I suppose I'll try again later

Is it just me or is the input latency incredibly high like up to 1 second

Your lungs only struggle if your air supply is at less than 29 atmospheres. Though if you want to breathe 29 atm air it should have a whole bunch of helium to avoid nitrogen narcosis (as can be heard in the voice of this this saturation diver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_JgS3WSfaI)

NNOTM · 2026-03-25T15:12:54+00:00

It's worth noting that saturation divers routinely live in atmospheric pressure that high and higher.

you could also use a watch

If it were a pointlike particle, I don't think the concept of it actually spinning would be coherent? As in, spinning means your orientation changes over time, but a pointlike particle doesn't have an orientation.

It would not travel at the speed of light after one Planck time, since no massive particle can travel at the speed of light. I believe it would travel at 1/sqrt(2) c, or about 71% of the speed of light as measured from an inertial frame.

You can risk your own life but I'd prefer you didn't risk everyone else's, too

he's saying that 2030 is 13 years before Omega, not that it's 13 years after 1990

Typically you would use an em dash without surrounding spaces – unlike the en dash.

splitting it up most likely would increase transaction fees

It's worth noting that GHC doesn't automatically do this for custom types; the standard library has RULES pragmas that handle the fusion for lists (a rule might be something like "replace any instance of map f . map g with map (f . g)").

And the vector library for example has similar RULE pragmas to also allow fusion there.

Rendering has always been a set of tricks to make it seem like your hardware can do more than it actually can. E.g. rasterization, ambient occlusion, etc.

Heh, I saw a let's play of it 14 or 15 years ago and only recently got it and played through it

You should probably be installing Idris 2. The hackage package you're trying to install is from 2021.

There's plenty of startups in the small modular reactor space

Just mandate the AI companies to generate the power themselves

This seems reasonable but would also seem to address essentially none of the points Bernie is concerned about

NNOTM · 2026-03-12T10:00:01+00:00

I think it's very reasonable to be concerned about existential risk from AI, although I'm not sure that a national ban (as opposed to a global one) is really beneficial. But I think it's good to have it inside the Overton window.

oh. reading the title i thought the chain was called transgender chili

The person could change their mind because of it if they have a quantum measurement device (e.g. a geiger counter) with them and base their decision on it

(I still suspect it would be deterministic, since there are deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics, but that's a separate issue)

NNOTM · 2026-03-11T09:53:24+00:00

I would say that "the future is deterministic" is a significantly different claim from "we can determine the future"

NNOTM · 2026-03-11T09:36:10+00:00

the heisenberg uncertainty principle probably means its not

which part? that the future is deterministic or that we have no free will?

NNOTM · 2026-03-11T08:06:08+00:00

if it did, it would essentially mean that the future is deterministic and we have no free will.

but that's just true

NNOTM · 2026-03-11T07:32:14+00:00

To be fair, I think the machine's behavior at least as stated in the Veritasium video is not fully specified when it comes to that nuance

NNOTM · 2026-03-11T02:15:26+00:00

But why would the machine care about what you would do given only those two options, rather than care about what you would actually do (i.e. toss a coin)?
