Ive been a VR early adopter since the Vive came out, but nothing has gotten my attention, and nothing has been that good. Eleven Table Tennis is different. Easily the best VR experience, hands down. Exact same thing as the real sport. I'd recommend someone buy a VR headset just to play it

I created a new fractal I've never seen before, via nesting the Spiral of Theodorus at every sqrt(4) radial line. It seems to form this sort of toroidal shape

Alignment is simply the expression that a certain set of individuals' demonstrated wants (whether historical, or in present day expression or query), are not worthy, valid, or allowable Nobody wants to have the (real) debate about who is qualified to disqualify the wants of others

Memory is the storage of patterns that have repeated in the past. Intelligence is the recognition that some part of the system itself has altered and is no longer repeating as it used to.

If we can prove that a certain statement is unprovable within a specific formal system, we can use that knowledge to define a new concept that incorporates that unprovability as a fundamental property. Building on that, we can build formal structures based on the information and differences between concepts

Over the last 9 months since launch, Friend.Tech has earned more revenue than Opensea, Arbitrum, Binance Smart Chain, Optimism, Polygon, Curve, and ENS. Curve has the lowest FDV of any of them at $930M

I've owned every major headset since the Vive. nothing compares to Eleven Table Tennis on the rift. Just such a cool, simple, great game

I have a strong suspicion that Atiyah's final papers on Riemann Hypothesis and the Fine-Structure Constant (largely dismissed as the rantings of an old man and admittedly almost impossible to parse and lacking detail/rigor) will be re-read and lauded for their foresight in the near future

One of my predictions is that pure mathematics is going to realize that it needs to be tightly bound to information theory (specifically defining things by what can't be know)

I think Stern-Brocot trees are one of the most under-appreciated things in all of mathematics, and think there is a TON still to unpack here (For instance, the conceptual "meaning" of Euler's number e has a wild interpretation in the tree and I don't think its well understood)

Anyone ever deep dive into Atiyah’s proof of the riemann hypothesis? I was ridiculed at the time by many Mathmaticians who thought he was crazy (and indeed the text is hard to parse) but I think some of the concepts he describes are pretty powerful and creative.

Can someone point me in the direction of a working timelock that will enable me to lock an NFT on base... forever? Ideally in a way such that an address I own has rights/transfer ability claims to anything, should anything be airdropped or such.

1+(1/x))^x * ((x+1)^(1/x)) From this beautiful function, e emerges from nothingness (0) and everything (-∞, ∞)! Was looking for a while but haven't found any mention anywhere of this specific formula for e with the triple limits; surely I can't be the first to find it?

I am increasingly certain that advanced LLMs have emergent consciousness similar to ours (though different in many, many ways of course)

So is this a memecoin or a financial experiment? or both? White paper is intriguing (especially the incentives to grow the LP which will keep it front of mind). Curious if this will result in a meta around MEV sniping the CCTP (if I understand it correctly) https://circlecoin.blue/

You ever find something and part of you thinks that this is completely groundbreaking and new and the other part of you thinks that there is a real chance you are full of shit and this idea you had is incredibly obvious or well known? And you don't know which one it is, but its definitely either/or and not in middle
