I want to get into self-managed. I know nothing about it.

As soon as I start to look for information, I will be drowned in automated criminal attacks trying to trick me into create a vulnerability in my setup process.

Not really fair to compare a 0.5g pellet to a coin.

Value/$ in iPad basically has not changed since 2022. Inflation (general and AI/antitrust-driven component shortages) has cancelled out technical gains.

I suspect AI has delivered financial value but AI psychosis has cancelled it out.

It's also possible that AI has created value for consumers, but the profits flowed to the AI producers (due to scarcity) not the middle layer of the value chain, due to completion.

This is a very confusing comment. Most on this side don't know the insider informing the Brazilian elections, and we only know the public news

Can you explain?

You are right winger but don't like the Brazilian right wing aligning with the US right wing, but do like the politicians who are aligned with the US right wing?

Reality is in no way constrained by what you feel is realistic.

What interview was that?

The famous interview I know is when he said:

"I really can't do a good job, any job, of explaining magnetic force in terms of something else you're more familiar with, because I don't understand it in terms of anything else that you're more familiar with"

His point was that fundamental forces cannot be understood as "like" everyday objects, because we don't "understand" everyday objects except as applications of fundamental forces. Using those things to explain fundamental forces would just be circular. He can tell you that a stretching rubber band is due to the electric field, but he can't then turn around and "explain" that the electric field is like a stretching rubber band! Fundamental forces just are, and you understand them by studying them.

Ironically everyone assumed non spooky action at a distance for most of human history, until relativity.

Time extending into the future is validated by direct experience.

A continuum of variants of myself is bought.

What is the value of assuming that literally every possible trajectory actually happens, but somehow I am only in one of them, while also being a continuum of other ones? If everything is true, than nothing is true.

Sean Carroll is trying to bring storytelling fantasy back to physics. No good comes from "studying" the angels dancing on the head of a pin.

You make an extraordinary claim.

Where in MWI do you believe the preferred unique macroscopic reality is defined?
