  • I would call that an observer of some kind.

    I actually have some ideas as I spend a rather unhealthy amount of freetime thinking of quantum mechanics. While not at all being a proper scientist but i have come to perceive the concept of a blended multiverse.

    When you are in a room alone, there are tons of things you could be doing. You become slightly dis-entangled from the world. You only experience one slice, the thing you know you are doing, but actually exists in superposition from the perspective of the rest of the world. At the same time the rest of the world exists in a state of superposition towards you. When you break your isolation and interact with the world in any way your experienced slice of reality becomes entangled to a slice of reality that is the rest of the world.

    But the entanglement is a spectrum. Even alone in a room you still know that you are on earth and that gravity exists. You are entangled to you awareness so whatever infinite amount of things you could do, flying is not one of them. Except in a slice reality where its normal for gravity to not exists. But you, nor the rest of the world can interact with that specific slice. Our consciousness has evolved to perceive reality as if it makes sense with our primitive capacity, we can not perceive reality outside of what we all entangled consciousness networks within a context system understand as shared coherent reality.

    When a friend group splits up each member could lead many different lives, all of those exist in superposition . But when you get back together to talk about old times in that moment of that conversation most of those different version of their lives are unified and entangled into one slice again. Then when they start talking about the rest of their lives you entangle to that one slice of their multiverse lives.

    Anyway this is oversimplified of my actual ideas and again i am not an accomplished scientist. I do not take myself too serious about these things but i love conceptualising all of It.





  • The autistic community has been dying for this kind of accessibility accommodation for years.

    I cannot express how deeply this angers me. Though i am happy to exploit the fuck out of this for personal use.

    “Markdown offers a cleaner, more semantically clear representation of the content. This means less noise for language models and other text-analysis systems people that process information neurodivergently, resulting in more efficient processing and potentially lower compute costs real life physical exhaustion.“







  • I am inclined to agree with that sentiment.

    However I don’t think thats the full story, there are plenty report of this happening on librewolf but I could not find any for firefox with fingerprint protection enabled, neither did i find any for tor (though sites not working on tor is expected and may just not get reported)

    Its seems to me that librewolf has a very unique custom implementation of anti-fingerprinting that is not used elsewhere, ironically that means it could be used as an identifier of its own.

    In the larger context this also isn’t just about one website. Claude isn’t trying to obtain any fingerprints and simply expects time to progress.

    Plenty of other smaller sites that we don’t know might be affected.

    I think they are neglecting a real issue because the bug report about it happens, by coincidence, be an llm site.







  • “Volvo has a history with the modern three-point safety belt, which was perfected by in-house engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 before the patent was shared with the world.”

    This story is a famous example of seemingly putting human safety before personal profit.

    In a direct comparison this innovation on it is worse because it lacks the defining feature that makes it truly applaudable.

    The original 3 point seatbelt patent would also expire after 20 years but they (presumably) saw the amount of people they could save and chose not to wait.

    Though you might have reasonable argument on corporate motivation that is commonly accepted i personally am in very strong disagreement with the notion that profit incentives are anything but harmful.

    In my own reasoning and experience i found that a desire for profit or personal success sabotage the effective value of any potential invention.

    The objective value of a product that i attempt to perceive is directly correlated to how many living beings can successfully use it without losing value in return.

    For example the most advanced designer cars that exist that can only the super rich can buy… those are complete worthless junk and leaching valuable assets and energy from our planet trown in the proverbial bin.

    A text file that explains in detail how to fix and maintain a generic bike written by some passionate nerd and freely available online has in comparison uncountable value.

    Chances are a for profit product is also build needlessly complex just to stifle future competition (Apple likes that one also) or intentionally flawed so a new later patent can save the day and sustain the practical monopoly on it. If you look around you see this everywhere.

    I see the same trends in digital development. Closed source only exist to exploit people who have not learned how to property own and maintain a computer and to block off ways open source devs could use to innovate for the benefit of everyone.

    This is why i prefer the proprietary systems not exist at all. So someone else can invent it instead. In theory all knowledge is out there and so are all inventions, to be discovered and shared for enrichment of the species as a whole.

    If you ask me, if the benefit of everyone including yourself is not enough motivation to build something better then what already is. I don’t want you on my team.

    If your motivation requires a self serving result, i would prefer if society paid you to STAY AWAY from any important work decisions because the losses are too great to give that power to what subjectivity understand as a mental illness.

    If everyone benefits, i benefit. If no one suffers, i don’t suffer. You can keep the ego happy and still arrive to the same conclusion, i am award this is considered an extreme stance but i will die on this hill unless someone can point me to a higher one,
