hey bro, where's your scholarly record of impactful publications?


Sir, this is a news website.


"Hurr durr, your physics isn't pretty enough and has too many coefficients to fit my childlike model of the universe. Clearly an approximation" - mimixco, 2020


That's kinda how politics works. Sorry to have to tell you :(


You didn't understand what I wrote. To put it into simpler terms: Over time, people demand less and less about their civil liberties, whereas with open source projects, people demand more and more.


that's not even remotely true.


We already live in the diamond age. Maybe you haven't been paying attention.


How hard is it to understand that the mass of a proton isn't just because its constituent quarks have mass?


Here's what you're doing:

grizzles: I don't understand what's going on in a proton.

Physicist: actually, we know about it very well.

grizzles: I don't understand what you're saying, and don't care to find out, so I'm just going to disagree with you and say you have no experimental evidence.

Physicist: we actually have terabytes of evidence describing the different quarks and gluons within protons and neutrons.

grizzles: I don't care, and I'd rather live in Anaximander's land of indefinites and superstition.


lgl is a web dev.

Are you a physicist? If so, why not post a link to your profile? Why the need for your made up dialogue instead of a substantive rebuttal containing information about your allegedly detailed knowledge of the inner workings of a proton?

BTW, you've misrepresented my position in 2/3 of your little sonnet. I said "light evidence, not no evidence" and I do care. The only substantive rebuttal I've received is from computerex and I responded to that.


Dialogue can be very useful.


Don't worry, He'll let all of us (and our civilization) "die" first, provided we don't somehow escape it.


Central forces don't guarantee that the universe is made of fractals. Nothing, for instance, orbits an electron within an atom (excluding spin-orbit coupling and other such quantum nonsense).


I tried averaging the weights from a bunch of differently-trained neural networks for a Loss.jpg detector once.

If you think about what sort of brain you'd get if you "averaged" a few hundred geniuses' brains by blending them into a soup and adding some gelatin to a brain-sized sample, yeah, that's about the level of intelligence I saw in the "average neural net." It was basically in a constant state of seizure.
