Unfortunately, the most common explanation out there is that statistically, the higher entropy states are more common, therefore more likely.

Like, if you have 100 people flip a coin 4 times, you...

There were red flags, but seeing them for the magnitude they were was beyond me.
I'm not going to get into the full detail of that, here. Send me a PM if you want the full story.

Also, living...

> The outlook for my life is actually better now than it maybe has ever been, even though I have 25 years of total crap I have to work through.

Same.

It's a hard road, but like I said, it's...

In other traumatic news, my brother died today.
Sudden heart attack. His wife is a nurse and saw it happen. She did everything right to save him, but it wasn't enough.

He and I had fallen out...

Wow. Sorry for the long road, but glad to hear you're on a good path, now.

Relationships are weird. I didn't feel weighed down by her at all, quite the opposite. I feel like she gave me the...

IDK where the line is. There's a field of physics called "meso-scale physics" that is trying to figure out questions like that.

With only 2 particles, entropy would never change. Leaving out...

Hey, wuf. I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering what you've been up to.

I'm good. Single again. The way she ended it was totally messed up, and I hired a therapist to deal...

Entropy is a fucky one to understand.

It's a statistical thing. It doesn't exist in individual quantum mechanics interactions between particles. It's emergent when you look at many interactions....

The math of thermodynamics is elementary school math for the most part. It's mostly bookkeeping and the math is addition and subtraction. In the rare case where you'd need to solve an integral,...

The model does show that you can recreate Newtonian gravity from the physics of Entropy on the holographic boundary maximizing, but Newtonian gravity isn't our current model of gravity. So there's...

It's technically possible for the US to have an non-elected President.

President Ford, Nixon's successor, was never voted for.
The VP on the ticket when Nixon was elected (Agnew) had already...

I feel both attacked and seen at the same time.

Funny how all the aliens stopped visiting once we had satellites and shit that would see them visiting.

innit?

You might want to raise the bar a bit on that one.

IDK why the site has experienced so many problems lately.

Apparently there's still someone on the back end fixing things silently.

I haven't heard anything from the owner or admins of this site...

My favorite Al in Al Yankovic


There's a difference between human intelligence and AI, so far. AI tends to homogenize outputs, even when it's teaching inputs are diverse. An example from Sabine...

... but what's his criticism of the other side?

Fucking mind-blowing that the political right is so butthurt about wokeness that they're willing to throw away democracy over it.


Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson goes to a wealthy neighborhood in the...

When you're in one of the highest offices in your gov't and you blame the "deep state" for your failures.

You WERE the deep state, you clown.

I don't follow football, so I don't know who Taylor Swift is, but he sounds fast.

It's a shitshow, for sure.

The good news is that most Americans that aren't on TV / the news / whatever big money platform are pretty sensible and nice people.

I mean, don't bring up politics...

Trump voters prob. think it's fake news and vote him in, anyway.
Some rich asshole turn out their new AI Trumpbot that rules us all from here on out.

God Bless America!

We could hold a 2 player game. Me vs. ong.
but problem with that is that ong wins every game, 'cause I always just want to pal up with ongie when I play WW's.

Agnosticism vs. Athiesm
There's a difference between, "I'm not convinced you're right," and "You're wrong."
A big difference, IMO.

I guess both agnostics and athiests can drift into the latter,...
