Harward: get this man over here!

Its like saying an OS is just a bunch of if then else statements. While it is true, in practice it is far far more complicated.

I never buy any of the content but I do enjoy consuming content thus from a utilitarianistic point of view, piracy is a moral choice for me. Joking aside, if you can pay for things without a strong financial burden, you should pay.

Except when it comes to defending their own country from their technologically inferior neighbor.

Its a disease, it has its own symptoms. If two people get a virus they will both catch a cold. If two people lost their job one of them might try to commit suicide while other one might only gets sad.

At the time probably yes, now we don’t know/probably not. Note that love is complicated and has different types like there is passionate love and companionate love. Passionate love rises quickly within 6 months to 1.5 years, it reaches its peak. Then it goes down hill and within 7 years it goes to its lowest point. This happens to everybody not just you, naturally this love converts into companionate love over this time and when that does not happen it needs to end. Companionate love is slow in rising but it is also more lasting. Two main components of companionate love are 1) emotional intimacy - ability to share anything 2) commitment - that feeling that it is YOUR responsibility to help them if they need something. Any action that violates these will result in losing love.

Some actions that hurt love: lying, hiding things, feeling you’re the only one who cares etc.

Know this, true love or companionate love is something both people nurture and grow, you cannot do it all on your own. If it ended then something went wrong, maybe nobody was at fault.

Take your time and heal my friend.

I meant changing the outcome because you saw something in the dream.

I don’t think the future is fully determined. Just some parts have to be because of our actions. I have some theories:

Theory 1: maybe the universe is like a machine, and while it gives the impression that everything is possible, reality is that some outcomes are just not possible due to some limitation. Kinda like a game, you can have infinitely many possibilities of actions in an open world game but still there will be some options not possible because you choose some action at the start.

Theory 2: maybe there really is someone who controls what happens in this universe. Like our dream is the announcement that something will happen but the enforcement happens later. And the exact nature of the enforcement depends on our and everybody else’s actions. In other words it is not decided what will happen but whatever happen will not go against the dream. We just dont know what other things could have happened given a dream.

Of Course nobody knows the true nature, and we can only guess and ponder about it.

I always thought it was my head messing with me until i started telling my friend about it. And then they still come true and at least she knows that it is not my memories being faulty.

Have you ever tried changing the outcome? I feel like if we were to try this would cause a paradox and then we wouldn’t get the dream in the first place.

I have thought about changing the outcome but I always come to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be me if i did it. Like if i saw myself avoiding someone then it usually is that person does something later that i would avoid them anyways.

Really interesting stuff but yeah most people wouldn’t believe us which is understandable.

For me they briefly stopped but then started happening like crazy. But for me it is usually related to people around me like i dreamt about a boy playing in my house, turns out my sister was pregnant with a boy. She didn’t know the gender and i live in a different country so i never knew she was pregnant. She said she wanted to give me some important news. I said i already knew and then told my mom the gender of the baby.

One interesting thing that i have noticed, sometimes video in the dream doesn’t match when it comes true but audio matches more often, do you also feel this?

So even when your body is paralyzed, you can still move your toes and fingers, keep doing that and slowly you will be able to move your hand/foot. So you just keep moving basically until you “get up”

Oh i don’t need sleep anyways. I have smth similar, one time i woke up and was getting out of bed with one arm in the air and yawning and saw smth of light immitating me literally in front of me, that day i knew how quickly i would kick if someone did it with me. Still no idea if it was my imagination or smth else. Never had it again

I think it has to be some subconscious thing. I have also seen a hat man in sleep paralysis but i doubt it is something supernatural. Like i have a trick to get out of sleep paralysis, i did it and obviously my door wasn’t even open like I saw. Also its interesting that so many diverse cultures have this myth like i am from south east asia and even i have this picture in my head.

Ill start, i keep having dreams that come true but they seem so random tho.

Depressing option: try suicide. Works every time for me. The main idea is to put yourself in a scary unusual situation enough to raise your heart rate. Like usually at the end of nightmares there is a ‘boo’ moment that elevates your heart rate enough for you to wake up.

What does your username mean?

Guy In Real Life?

Sorry im from reddit

The real question is whether or not it is legal. Theoretically it is possible to do with current tech. If i was making such a tool, i would need access to the ebook then pass it through a llm model (possibly with a 7b open source one) to tag which characters are saying what. Once i have tagged dialogues then I could pass it through elevenlabs or other opensource tts and voila you have an audiobook with different voices.

The real problem is that opensource tts aren’t as good and i imagine if you use paid versions, you will encounter legal issues or it might be too expensive. And can you sell your audio book? Legal troubles again.

But if you just wanna do it while sailing the high seas, everything should be possible.

Every year, out of all of your things that are not necessary like jewelery/saving or other non essential items, you are supposed to donate 2.5% of it, or equivalent in money, to a poor person.

Interestingly this would mean that a true muslim will probably never become a multi-billionaire.

Don’t know if it is that expensive for others or not but just sharing cuz it might help someone.

You don’t need to be a dad in order to make dad jokes.

Correction, it should be the entire observable universe not the entire universe since light outside the observable universe cannot reach us due to expansion thus anything that travels at speed of light can also not reach us.

I kinda got lost in making that list (just aspergers things) and listed every model i knew.

For a layperson, yeah self hosting isn’t as effective yet. But if someone who studies AI (like me), self hosting is a must. Some use cases are:

Retrain on your own data (big market potential)

Make your own bots with specific applications/use cases (like parse wikipedia before answering)

Bypass censorship (funny story, my friend asked claude to summarize a book on dystopia and it kept telling her to talk about something else cuz dystopia’s were too depressing for claude)

I’ve even heard about models that are specialized for just one task like chatting, or logic puzzles

And lastly, privacy nerds like me
