About pizza
- algorithmic ethics / praxeology meets algorithms
- algebraic topology
- reinforcement learning
- AGI
- neuroscience (as a true science but also its abuse as pop phrenology)
- information theory applied to mental health and society
- trustless/trustful collaborative systems, zero-knowledge proofs, differential privacy
- alternatives to capitalism
- software defined radio
- decentralized/localizable tech
- music production
- weight lifting
- the minimization of negative externalities, and the maximization of positive externalities
- compressed sensing
- effective methods of dealing with stress, and information overload!
- capitalist realism as a byproduct of information theory
things that I think would be cool if they existed:
- computational metaphysics
- 'paint-able proofs'
- an IDE where the computer is the user of the IDE and the human simply guides it through tough corner cases
- containerized, cloud-based digital audio workstations, a la gitpod or github codespaces
