This really does remind me of nazi anti-jew propaganda from the 30s. Stupid, soulless slop, blatantly inhumane, but effective for the right audience.

Fuck this is depressing. Hope y'all over there make it through whatever your vile government is planning, alive and well.

Hm, you should clue me in. I thought the Planck length being the "minimum" unit of length was more to do with particles with a short wavelength to be comparable to a Planck length would need to have so much energy that they will become black holes, which means it's not really feasible to investigate anything "happening" at scales smaller than that. So to me it doesn't feel particularly relevant to the uncertainty principle. But it's been a long time since my physics courses, so I might be missing some obvious connection.

I'm glad to hear you're getting help! Hope you pull through this. I think myself and others are really wishing the best for you, please don't be offended.

As for your physics theory & code though, I must repeat what others are saying. Stop using LLMs (be it copilot or gemini), they are clouding your thoughts and blurring any original ideas you may have into an incoherent sloppy mess.

Scrap your repo, clear your mind, start over. Don't have many expectations, most (I'd guess 99%) of amateur physics theories out there turn out to be wrong.

Open a markdown document in a simple editor and write down your ideas, by yourself, with no stupid computer program telling you what to think.

Then take a pen and paper and try to distill your ideas into mathematical formulae, with no stupid computer program (which doesn't have any real mathematical knowledge or rigor) making up bogus equations.

Then, using that same pen and paper, try to work through a few examples of applying those formulae to specific physical situations. Start simple, don't try to reproduce the entire universe at all scales at once, maybe start with a finite universe containing a couple of electrons and see how their interactions play out. Don't let a stupid computer program (which can't even perform basic arithmetic by itself) make grave mistakes.

If it seems like the model works for a couple very simple examples, try to put it into code. Don't use Rust or GPUs or even scipy for your first prototype, just write it in pure python. And for the love of all that is good, don't use LLMs for this either. Just take your formulae from your piece of paper and translate it into python by hand, with no stupid computer program (which can't even count the number of R's in a word strawberry) stealing code from others and writing boilerplate instead of describing your original ideas.

Don't worry about performance for a prototype, if the results it produces are at least interesting, you can worry about optimizations later.

The high level idea (uncertainty principle looks like we’re on a grid, which feels familiar to programmers) is fine, that’s a common and pretty solid argument for living in a simulation.

Is that actually true? AFAIR the uncertainty principle is just a natural outcome of the position being a matter wave, and the momentum being a Fourier transform of that wave; and if a wave is "localized" at one point, its Fourier transform will be "dispersed" (and vice versa, due to the Fourier inverse theorem). A good, but vastly simplified analogy is that it's impossible to precisely define the audio frequency of a single sharp clap.

There's nothing "simulation grid" about that, because a Fourier transform applies to continuous-domain and continuous-variable functions.

I don't think it's some global conspiracy, rather a natural outcome of capitalism.

Under capitalism, the only way in which a person can earn a living is by performing a job. Thus people naturally associate having a job with prosperity, and push politicians to "create more jobs". The politicians then create incentives for private companies to hire more people, without actually aligning the labor output with the needs of society. This in turn makes it profitable for capitalists to "create jobs" which don't require much in terms of capital advanced (i.e. means of production), and thus don't produce much value, because the lower output value will be offset by various government incentives.

There's another reason for bullshit jobs under capitalism, namely that of financialization of everything; capitalism necessarily maximizes the rate of profit over everything else, which means that it will create work that produces no use value at all (or even "negative use value"), but increases the rate of profit, such as imperialist military and MIC, or many finance jobs out there, or advertising/adtech, or planned obsolescence engineering, etc.

Harsh, but might be best to heed this advice. You can't resolve trauma and relationship issues by inventing a physics theory, even if it was correct (which it probably isn't).

Except in this case this particular fridge has worked for 40 years already, so just by Bayesian statistics it is more likely to keep working than a modern one from a range that are known to break. Same reason why some old cars are getting more expensive nowadays.

Documentation will always have to be actually written by the author(s) of the code (or at least someone who understands the code really well), because only the author knows the intent behind a certain function or API endpoint, and that's what the documentation is for.

LLMs don't understand shit (sorry AI bros), they will sometimes produce accurate descriptions of the function code as written, but never the intent. Even if the LLM "wrote" the code, it doesn't "understand" the real intent behind it, because it is just a poor mashup of code taken/stolen from someone else, which statistically fits the prompt.

What LLMs could help with is generating short, human-readable descriptions of what is happening in a given function. This can potentially be helpful for debugging/modifying projects with poor documentation, naming, and function separation, so that instead of gleaning through multiple 2000-line C functions in a 100k SLOC file, you can kind of understand what it does quickly. I've used deepseek for this before, with mixed-to-positive results.

But again, this would just be to speed up surface-level digging and not a replacement for actual documentation or good practices.

I can't answer for the rest of the world, will trust the US again when it abolishes capitalism and makes sure that wealth/power can not be hoarded by private individuals or unaccountable organizations. This is the only solution. Everything you propose is just a bandaid on a gaping wound that is the dictatorship of capital; it doesn't really matter how effective or competent the governance structure is, as long as it is subservient to a few billionaire oligarchs.

I mean, good for him. China, Europe et al ought to seize this opportunity to invest in those organizations for the betterment of humanity, without constant impediments by the US.

We may kick them out every other 4 years but the American public is stupid and easily forgets.

No, it's more than that. The opposition (i.e. Democrats) is paid for by a group of oligarchs largely overlapping with those who pay the fascists, and fights tooth and nail to keep the american people poor and obedient. They might not be as mask-off about their imperialism, and they might allow some leeway for minorities, but they are fundamentally in service to the same group of people. The average american will not see significant economic improvements when they vote for Dems again; so, ever more angry and upset about the deteriorating living conditions, they will continuously vote for "the other party".

Now is the time to realize that there will not be a solution to this crisis while your country is still ruled by oligarchs, as it has been since the founding. You will need to destroy the root cause of the issue, the unbounded exponential accumulation of wealth - a.k.a. capitalism - in order to see meaningful progress.

LMAO, US is literally the original fascist country that the nazis tried to emulate with lebensraum. It is the most evil entity on this planet to date.

putin's russia supporting some marginalized neonazis to destabilize europe is nothing compared to the dozens of literal fascist coups staged and puppeteered by the US starting way before putin was even born.

Now the citizens of the empire are reaping what the oligarchs of old have sowed with quiet support from the liberals. Fascism is simply coming back home.
