MODERATORS
Either having a complete understanding of modern-day physics or knowing how to play the violin.
Ability to complete a household project with only 1 trip to the hardware store.
Impossible... that would break some fundamental law of physics or something
This skill can be learned once you defeat the final boss of Home Projects https://youtu.be/vu2j62M-ndc
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.
I'll do the same for physics. Together we shall reign.
But also the ability to turn it off at will. Otherwise life will become incredibly tedious.
Whatever is fun and makes money. Tired of being bored and broke all the time.
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
I'd upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.
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).
Guitar sounds fun
C2-niveau francais, s'il vous plait.
edit or as translate google would put it: niveau C2 de francais, merci.
NZT-48 + CPH4 = 🧠
Is this some kind of chemistry reference? What's going on here? 🙂
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")
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.
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

Time travel
You'd need both time travel and teleportation, or else you'll find yourself in space when you travel forward or back in time. The Earth isn't a stationary object
This assumes an absolute reference frame, which does not exist in this universe.
Time (and relative dimension in space) travel
Time travel already is teleportation.
Actually, teleportation would be more powerful than time travel, since you can travel through different times as well with teleportation as an ability, but you can only teleport to a different time with time travel.
Nothing is or everything is. There is no absolute motion.
Yes there is, you just can't measure it.
it's all relative. definitively relative.
that said, if you go to the matrix and ask for the power, it's not liable to give you half-assed solutions that don't take the details into account. Therefore it would already take into account the relative displacement and correct accordingly.
Download more RAM. My working memory is shit (ADHD).
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.

Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.

Read and write all languages. Be it swahili, mandarin, latin, hieroglyfs, python, c++ or java. ;)
You had me until Java.
