Sorry… QI also predicts galaxies.

The observed thrust in the engine, is the same force that holds galaxies together.

Of so his theory goes.

Mike argues that dark matter is an unscientific invention devised to explain away the existence of galaxies, which should tear apart under circumferential forces.

Gravity isn’t strong enough to hold galaxies together. So rather than reassess our understanding of gravity, scientists have postulated the existence of “dark matter” something that has never been observed.

Mike has a theory of Quantized Inertia and reckons this also allows a way to generate thrust which he claims has twice been measured in a lab.

DARPA are doing further tests with satellites this summer.

I’m just curious why this is all so under the radar? And out of mainstream.

Is it BS? Why is it wrong?

What do you think of Mike McCulloch’s theory of quantized inertia?

Why is it wrong?

What does it not predict?

Kofta.

You grind up some lamb with chopped spinach, cumin, garlic, cloves, mint, salt, pepper, 2x eggs.

Grab a fistful and roll it between hands, then skewer it.

Grow the spinach, garlic, mint in my garden in over abundance.

Dry? Tray is flooded with chorizo.

Obligatory food pic.

I thought this was cool.

Human experience = Newtonian physics

Hatched area = Einsteinian physics

I recently learnt that Dark Matter may not be real (a fudge to preserve existing understanding of gravity), and that some folks in England are doing experiments with satellites this summer to support a different hypothesis that would describe reality beyond the Einsteinian boundaries.

It could be tough for America if public spending had to be paid for via taxation rather than exporting inflation and debasing foreign UST holders.

Probably means Americans paying a notional tax rate that is ~10% higher than today and receiving nothing in return.

A wiser man once said to me “Getting a mortgage is just a way to rent some cash”.

🚨 NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE: One under appreciated fact is that it is often worth getting a very expensive unsecured loan in order to get a better loan to value on your mortgage.

eg Paying 5.5% on 80% LTV v’s paying 4.5% on 70%, often its better to get eg a smaller personal loan at 10% than pay the extra 1% mortgage rate on the full amount.

The LTV curve often has a cliff edge in it, check this out with someone who can double check the math for you. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE 🚨

Oh dear.

What happens if I reduce your bank account by 50% and then increase it by 50%.

Do you now have more, less, or the same as before?

Extremities FTL.

Basically a cruise missile with a landing gear.

Desperately front running the virtue signallers, to try and wipe your finger prints off the starter pistol.

Super intelligence doesn’t exist, and neither does AGI. But I suspect we don’t need either and that LLM’s are enough to disrupt everything.

That’s what it wants you to think.

Exhibit A.

Why are there so few good landscape UI’s for phones?

The landscape keyboard on iOS is rubbish, it wastes so much space and has buttons in bad places out of natural reach of thumbs.

I know most people have learnt to use their phone in portrait mode, but I think this is just a hangover from Nokia days and the T9 keyboards.

Touchscreen should be landscape for ergonomic reasons but the landscape UI is dreadful.

🤔

Looking at the portrait keyboard it wastes so much space, huge empty unused real estate at the bottom of the screen.

How is this the best implementation? It just seems lazy, “people got used to it, so now its the standard.”

You cook frozen steak?

I wonder how many pubkeys have identical relay lists? 🤔

It’s number 2. really.

When you ipxe boot from usb, it will ask for a URL of the ISO this URL can be on the internet.

So the USB really have almost nothing on it. Just an ipxe bootloader.

You can then load the OS on the USB flash without touching the PC’s disk. You parasitically use the PC’s RAM, CPU, etc.

Once this boot is up and running you can then install the self-assembler, which is a process that uses GPT4 (until open source catches up), to build a bespoke program for whatever task you are doing.

The self assembler scans its environment and builds a db to describe it. It can scan whatever it thinks it has to and store it.

If you want to store some persistent data through reboots you can put it on the web somewhere.

It’s a very different way to do computing.

I think this is closer to how fully autonomous machines will work. Put some hardware together and then inject some self assembling code.

Thing figures out what it is, then what it has to do, then how to do it.
