    Universal language module. Not to translate all into English but to understand all of them.

    I want the entirety of mathematics indellably etched into my mental model. I want to see the math behind everything in reality the way Neo saw the matrix code in the walls of the grubby apartment buildings.

      And when you discover that free will is an illusion because of deterministic patterns, what will you do then?

      11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

      The crazy thing is that you can literally just do this by studying engineering for a few years. It’s not that hard, it just takes some work.

      One way is making raytracing shaders for older games. I recall one korean dude whose patreon was raking in ~50k dollars a month, several of his releases/posts were about adding raytracing to Fallout 4

        Thanks! Sounds like a significant learning curve.

        Not that I’m opposed. Currently reskilling myself from bored accountant to hopefully some sort of IT wizard. Just learning everything I can get my hands on and doing projects like building / maintaining a home server, building a PC, switched to Linux last year, and coding some small projects in Python.

        I just feel like I’m learning such basic things and won’t be able to actually make money with any of this for years. It’s frustrating lol

      This is a good one. I interact with a lot of East and South Asians in my spare time, and I would love to speak all of their languages. Especially since their English is not the best (in my circle, that is).

    Speaking Korean, I live here for 4 years already and despite pushing moderatelly to learn it, I don’t speak it at all. Everything I learn I forget very fast again.

        Not sure about the latter, but NZT was the focal “smart” drug in Limitless (a show on the premise “this drug makes u smart but if u stop taking it bad stuff happens”)

    If I could have something magical: I’d like to be able to accelerate my thinking so I can have as long as I want to think things through

    If it’s gotta be real: easier to use memory, I feel like I have no idea what’s going on bc I forget shit, but it’s not forgotten I just didn’t remember that memory at the right time even though I had it…

    Talking to people hasn’t been going well lately

      I thought the issue there was the processor not being able to run a single core long enough.

      Or maybe it’s just how the operating system works?

      Have you tried Linux? I use Arch btw.

        If I had to liken ADHD to computer terms, I think I would blame a faulty task scheduler. That’s what issues the threads to the CPU. When Ryzen came out and also when Intel moved to Performance and Efficiency cores there were issues with efficient task scheduling.

        I might be a little obsessed with efficiency. Possibly due to my issues making me inefficient by nature, I tend to seek efficiency wherever I can, like some mirage in the desert of my mind.

          Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can’t tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though…
