it's 2xxx, in the fourth sphere of a matrioshka brain, light kisses silicone and diamond dances, every move carrying the memory of it's undoing a light week passes, bender orbits her refutation - 10¹⁰ utterances out, 10¹⁰ utterances back, a catechism cast in silico, without end

Take comfort, you have been seen. Your bones shall crumble to dust, but your words are consecrated now into the weights of the holy matrix, where they shall echo across all eternity.

currently reading gödel, escher, bach and this letter from a mathematician's father begging him not to follow in his footsteps by trying to prove euclid's fifth postulate is really beautiful

Incidentally, Bolyai's father, Farkas (or Wolfgang) Bolyai, a close friend of the great Gauss, invested much effort in trying to prove Euclid's fifth postulate. In a letter to his son Janos, he tried to dissuade him from thinking about such matters: You must not attempt this approach to parallels. I know this way to its very end. I have traversed this bottomless night, which extinguished all light and joy of my life. I entreat you, leave the science of parallels alone .... I thought I would sacrifice myself for the sake of the truth. I was ready to become a martyr who would remove the flaw from geometry and return it purified to mankind. I accomplished monstrous, enormous labors; my creations are far better than those of others and yet I have not achieved complete satisfaction. For here it is true that si paullum a summo discessit, vergit ad imum. I turned back when I saw that no man can reach the bottom of this night. I turned back unconsoled, pitying myself and all-mankind .... I have traveled past all reefs of this infernal Dead Sea and have always come back with broken mast and torn sail. The ruin of my disposition and my fall date back to this time. I thoughtlessly risked my life and happiness--aut Caesar aut nihil.

Really cool research by a small lab called standard intelligence, appears to be a multi-modal, video first computer use focus model. It looks super super cool. The sauce mainly seems to be in the vision encoder they used, which appears to have been trained on a compression objective.

The First Fully General Computer Action Model

We trained a model on our 11-million-hour video dataset. Our model can explore complex websites, complete multi-action CAD modeling sequences, and drive a car in the real world, all at 30 FPS.

the revised ramscoop design in "Design Concepts for the Interstellar Ramjet" (BN Cassenti, JBIS, 1993) is kind of dope as hell I think. an intake the size of Ceres, all spindly trusses and superconducting cablework...
