I am not an expert at all but I believe the rough idea is that in General Relativity, everything follows a geodesic. The straightest possible path through curved spacetime.
They use that to explain why you don't feel acceleration when you jump off a building or out of a plane.
They say you DO feel it when you are standing, because the earth is impeding you and pushing you away from the geodesic you naturally want to follow.
So it is counterintuitive. the standing still person is being accelerated/pushed. The freefall person is free.
John wheeler said "Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve". I think it explains the circular nature.
Mass curves spacetime, that changes how mass moves , mass moving to a new position changes the curvature, that changes how the mass will move next.
The dimple in the mattress staying with the mass.
I would love to see it. Pretty much everything we looked at was over-engineered and AI integrated. Now, we have something simple but it is overpriced because the simplicity is now a differentiator.
I had a recent files plugin but bases let me remove it.
I have a "system" base that I put on the ribbon.
it defaults to "recently created", but I have a bunch of different views for hunting down anomalies too.
I didn't believe they would break the social contract and I was wrong.
I lost so much in money and notes when they decided the books I bought "to own" were now considered "licensed".
They changed the encryption on most of the newer ones so I couldn't even retrieve most.
They also took away USB transfer so I couldn't use the library system in the way I liked.
Now? I own a Kobo which will never touch the internet for the rest of its life and it only contains epubs. One day, Kobo/Rakuten will likely do the same.
my first one was junk essentially. I don't even think the host was there.
They said they were streaming music videos, which is already questionable.
Instead they were streaming an interview with a music artist.
in general its pulling from training data so the first numbers picked are always going to be pretty similar.
The AI is worried about not providing variety (for example picking 7 for 10 rounds) so it says to check the chat for context on round 2.
on round 3+ it feels like it solved the problem and doesn't need to evaluate anymore and it inadvertently uses more effort to create something less random
if your movie collection is big enough that might be really useful for language learning. Create your own frequency lists and common phrases.
I would be curious how it stacks up against the written word.
payment would need a delay too.
Pay $10 and then wait a week or so for the payment to clear without it being reversed. Hopefully that stops the card stealers from dumping as much as possible before getting booted.
Could we just add complex and varied captcha to the comment & posting forms?
His backup plan prior to the event had large obvious issues.
His backup plan after the fact seems suspicious as well because he is making it much harder than it has to be.
Between that and a glance at the home page, it feels like someone doing AI vibe work who is not comfortable in the space they are working.
Who is the intended audience? Other vibe coders? I just think its weird that given his backup solution, he likely asked the AI to create it . whatever hot-wash he did for this event was invalidated.
The registrars I use are limited because of KYC.
the network of registrars under dropcatch all require KYC.
Many of the auction sites require KYC.
The problem is they hold faces+IDs indefinitely and the ones I needed have breach issues along with indicators of top of the line 2005 era security practices.
So for me, its less about the KYC and more about their inability to KYC responsibly.
please make the translated text a little bigger. On a phone at that speed, it can be hard to read.
