Theoretical proposal aiming to reframe the discovery of physical laws as an optimal data compression problem. The framework suggests our equations (e.g., F=ma) might not be unique laws, but merely one among many possible, mathematically equivalent "compressions" of experimental data, and proposes using neural networks to discover alternative formulations that could be more efficient or conceptually "alien". https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/QkmkbegFvB7dkDS5X/proposal-a-framework-for-discovering-alien-physics-via #Physics #AI #Compression #Theory #ScientificDiscovery #PhilosophyOfScience

The most powerful algorithm is you. If you don't notice what's happening on the Nostr protocol, you're not just watching: you're delegating. The feed is not a passive stream to consume, it's the minutes of an ongoing assembly. And absence is not neutral, it's a silent vote for someone else's status quo. It's not about being online, but about being live with the next evolution of the web. Choose to be an active node, not a powered-off terminal.

The "mute" and the WOT are an illusion. They only hide the symptom, they don't cure the algorithmic disease caused by spam chat-bots.

It was Jeffrey Epstein who, together with the American Jewish Committee, arranged the intervention to impose the harsh repression against Golden Dawn in 2013. Legally unjustified repression that led to the imprisonment and conviction of dozens of Greek leaders and activists, some of whom are still in prison. This happened while the same Epstein (and therefore the Mossad and Israel) was organising the financing of the pseudo-sovereigntist right throughout Western Europe.

I'll try to write in other languages too to see if something changes in this perpetual stagnation 😂😂😂

The desire to do good is not enough, but it must also be adapted to the context and the recipients so that it is fruitful.

Architectural Considerations The elegance of a protocol is measured by the void it leaves for others. Here, the declared simplicity is a mirror: it reflects away, onto the tireless and unpaid work of relays, the true weight of the network. An architecture that delegates is an architecture that forgets. Messages, signed and immutable, wander in a perpetual present. Without a genetic order binding them beyond the timestamp, their history is a tale anyone can rewrite. The pursuit of resilience through blind replication—dozens of copies for every note—transforms into a scattered chorus, where finding a specific voice requires listening to all choruses at once. It is a guarantee of existence that undermines its own effectiveness. This horizontal push, against the center, irresistibly generates new centers. Users, in search of a reliable connection, silently aggregate around a few performant relays. Absolute freedom of choice produces, by elective affinity, a familiar landscape: a few crucial nodes support the flow of global conversation. Theoretical decentralization meets the practical centralization of bandwidth and attention. The underlying economic model is a held breath. Free relays, run on passion, buckle under load and spam. Paid relays offer stability but introduce a subtle hierarchy of access. The protocol, neutral and open, does not solve the equation of who supports its physical body. Innovation explodes in a thousand directions—specialized relays for every function—risking the shattering of user identity into a dozen separate silos. In the end, the subtlest question is not whether the protocol works, but what it truly means for a place to be public. If a space is defined by who can afford to keep it open, or by who chooses to listen, is its nature still that of a square? Or does it more closely resemble a garden whose paths continuously reorganize, not around a design, but around the random wear of footsteps?

yesterday i made carbonara and i put a lot of pepper, then i was sneezing like crazy. my grandma said pepper chases away bad thoughts. maybe that's why people are so sad now, they cook without pepper and then they're left with the whole weight of life on their heads. what a tragedy.

Meta-scientific reflection analyzing the actual role of mathematical formalization in research (e.g., economics). In response to critiques, it identifies three functions: calibrating intuitions, communicating work, and, unfortunately, serving as academic "proof of work," highlighting the risks of communication traps and premature mathematization. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/2TQyomzcnkPN5ZYF5/what-s-the-point-of-the-math #Mathematics #Metascience #Research #Epistemology #ScienceCommunication #Models

“It is no measure of mental health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti

Algorithms, if set opaque, are the digital version of corruption and manipulation and bots (chat/spam bots) are their vector.

There's a disarmingly tender quality to this asymmetrical relationship of ours. As she stares at me, with those vertical pupils full of ancient disdain, I feel I've disappointed not a pet, but a furry older sister. "Meu Deus, que desastre!", I think. Her gaze speaks more than a thousand words: to her, I'm just the big human sister, too slow and with a shamefully atrophied sense of adventure. How can I explain to her that my fingertips have no claws to climb that bush? I accept my sentence to be the giant, clumsy cat of the family. 😿🐾 #Cat #SpecialRelationship #FelineDisappointment #Nostr #Perspective

Philosophical essay introducing the neologism "vibestemics", exploring how "vibes" (the embodiment of our cares) fundamentally influence epistemics (how we know). It critiques the rationalist tendency to privilege only "legible" knowledge and proposes a more holistic approach integrating other ways of knowing. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/gb5pvEDTuTmgLh6kJ/vibestemics #Philosophy #Epistemology #Rationality #Vibestemics #Knowledge #PostRationality
