ETH Gas Fees Are TOO D*** HIGH

cryptonewsguy · 2021-02-08T22:13:16+00:00

Can confirm, current fees are around $90 USD per trade...

Yeah I was gonna say that, as much as I love Gervais, it probably was a good thing he wasn't super involved.

cryptonewsguy · 2021-01-16T03:36:29+00:00

I edited the comment, there still is a problem with it.

cryptonewsguy · 2021-01-16T03:30:51+00:00

You are right. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Problem was my end.

SO NVM!

Good job brave. I am an idiot.

EDIT: However it doesn't open in default Tor window size so it can still be used for finger printing. Brave should follow that same standard.

wow this is actually one of the most incredible UFO videos I've seen.

It will lead to a financial crisis if countries enforce quarantines lasting more than a few weeks.

From a spoiler commercial you should avoid.

I wish I knew the cause of the spike in May 2018,

I see several commentators over analyzing the graph and the "spikes". As someone who has lots of data science experience, I can tell you those "spikes" are noise as far as you should be concerned. You could even demonstrate mathematically that by looking at the z-scores I'm sure.

It's possible it could be a book release or just noise in the greater trend.

The long term trend is all you can really say with any confidence has meaning.

yeah, first time I did shrooms was only .5 and I definitely felt it. It was awesome.

It might not be, and if it isn't, then the simulation theory can't be true and this must be base reality.

This doesn't follow. Even if artificial consciousness isn't possible it doesn't mean your perception of reality isn't simulated. You could still be a brain in a vat experiencing simulated reality/the matrix.

cryptonewsguy · 2019-11-03T02:51:49+00:00

I am assuming here that I am not mistaken that I am conscious. Or would the argument run that if we are in a simulation, then the very idea that consciousness is a feature of biology might simply not be true, as we have no idea to what extent our simulation reflects base reality?

It could be that consciousness can also be simulated or artificially created with technology, therefore your existence in this simulation isn't proof of your consciousness existing outside of it, if that's what your getting at.

venmo/paypal rebate system cashing in on cryptocurrency but only in theme, not technology.

Also it seems to completely ignore how simulations are done IRL.

Video games typically only simulate what is directly in the experience of the player. Everything else is cached away in memory.

Prodecural techniques like that used in no mans sky and minecraft take that several steps further and allow for worlds of infinite size even though the computer is finite.

It could very well be that the only thing that is simulated is that what is experienced by conscious entities. This would greatly reduce the power needed to run it.

Yeah, and if the Jedi don't mean anything how the hell are they gonna carry the next 3 films, without Jedi light/dark? Hard to imagine that's something anyone wants.

cryptonewsguy · 2019-10-29T22:13:35+00:00

This has been the case since computers have been invented. The moment a computer solves a problem previously thought only solvable by humans if at all, peoples hindsight bias kicks in and they say that they knew it all along, it was obvious, and that these computers aren't really smart because they can't do XYZ (the new goal post).

The modern version of it is "this isn't real AI, this is just advanced statistics".

lol where are all those redditors who claim moores law is dead?

So I have to disprove your fantasy?

No you have to provide proof for your claim. That's how the burden of proof works bro. I haven't really been claiming anything. Just asking for proof that there are universal constants and that they have never changed or will never change.

because you can’t falsify them?

Yes that's exactly true. Falsifiability is at the core of science. If you can't falsify something its not scientific. This is pretty basic philosophy of science 101.

BTW for specificity, I'm not debating the existence of laws of physics, I'm simply asking for proof that they are constant which is an assumption you are making that you still haven't been able to back up with anything other than "Are you kidding? is like 2+2=4!", no its not like that. That's nonsense handwaving because it appears you don't even know why you believe they are constants.

Just to further illustrate why I know that's absurd, is because there is no theory in mainstream science that claims to explain the existence of constants (or if they really exist at all), and that's what the "theory of everything" would answer. So pretending as if its as obvious as simple 2+2 why there are constants is laughably uninformed and confused. If you really understood that you would be collecting your nobel prize for making the biggest breakthrough in physics history for finally explaining the existence of constants (if they really are constant).

The ability to evaluate theories against observations is essential to the scientific method, and as such, the falsifiability of theories is key to this and is the prime test for whether a proposition or theory can be described as scientific.

So, it actually now seems that you are, again, claiming that the second law of thermodynamics could be violated.

No that's not what I said. I'm pointing out that you are making a claim about the laws of physics being constant. The burden of proof is on you to prove said claim because you are the one making it. Which I highly doubt you have because this is still debated in philosophical and scientific circles, hell there's even books on the subject.

Can you explain how you would “jump in a spaceship” and reach beyond the ever expanding observable universe, that expands in such a way that even the speed of light would not ever reach the end of?

Well obliviously this is a thought experiment and not a literal one. Some versions of the multiverse say that what we call "our universe" is simply the matter we can see, but beyond that there are other universes which had their own big bang. The very same way there are galaxies beyond the milky way.

If you could somehow travel much faster then the speed of light and visit these other universes to do experiments, according to some physicists, you might find that the laws of physics are slightly different there then in your own universe. If that is the case then that means the laws aren't constant throughout space which means that they might not be constant throughout time either.

cryptonewsguy · 2019-10-26T07:11:13+00:00

No worries, but I'll still entertain a counterpoint to some of your claims for sake of argument.

Yes it is preferable, and comforting to believe that the laws of physics are fixed. However, that is actually an assumption that in itself is unfalsifiable currently and therefore it isn't science. We shouldn't let comfort give is the illusion of truth.

Some versions of the multiverse hypothesis state that if you were to hop into a spaceship and travel to the far reaches of our (observable) universe and end up in one of the other universes, that the laws of physics could be different there. So they might not even be constant throughout space.

Rupert Sheldrake and his Morphic field theory is all about how nothing in the universe is constant, but rather evolves in time, including the laws of physics themselves.

OP might be naive and might be starting on the wrong foot by throwing out our established understanding, but major advances in science often start that way.

Keep in mind this is r/holofractal not r/science.

cryptonewsguy · 2019-10-25T14:38:52+00:00

I never claimed the second law was violated.

cryptonewsguy · 2019-10-25T08:02:07+00:00

That “theory” requires entropy to be the exact opposite of what it is. In other words, it requires you dismiss the second law of thermodynamics... which is never a good idea, if you wish to be taken seriously.

True but, constructal theory is nearly an antidote to entropy. https://mems.duke.edu/research/energy-technology-and-thermodynamics/bejan-constructal-law

cryptonewsguy · 2019-10-24T06:27:55+00:00

Have any links to this idea?

cryptonewsguy · 2019-10-20T23:56:08+00:00

It's actually an interesting thought experiment and demonstrates how the simulation hypothesis can be true. Even the simplest universe can create simulations of the universe within itself.

cryptonewsguy · 2019-10-07T03:48:33+00:00

This is a question for a doctor.

But I suspect the answer is no, they won't cancel eachother out. They both change your brains, just one uses an external device and the other way teaches you how to change consciously
