Readit NewsI take such claims to mean simply "We have no idea what this artifact is for; it might as well be something magical, for all we know".
Its natural, because games based on chance give us the feeling of being "hot" or "cold" ie able or unable to predict entropy.
MMI is a burgeoning science but if you're curious there is a group out there with access to QRNGs that practice influencing probabilities. And there is a small, but measurable effect size. And even not so small in some experiments I have personally seen, but being funded by Rockefellers means keeping your nose pointed away from the control grid.

> I'm going to ask ChatGPT how to prepare a garotte and then I am going to strangle you with it, and you will simply have to pray that I roll the 10% chance that it freaks out and tells me that a garotte should consist entirely of paper mache and malice.
Sadly it’s got a much greater than 10% chance of getting a garotte wrong.

I had the sense that I got certain passengers for more than just transportation. Some people were having a rotten day, and I was able to cheer them up. One lady had some time to kill before her bus' departure time, so we went to the 24 hour diner, ordered our own pies and compared notes. When we got to the bus station she said it was the best birthday she'd had in quite a long time.

The most important thing I learned in my taxi was about substance abuse. This HN poll didn't get any upvotes, but it references some of the diaries I never finished: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39071316

If you're so inclined, I'm curious if you've experience is also that our universe is more than random?
E.g. people might pay attention to you because of your reputation. Your reputation might be based on high effort posts (over the long term) even if they get less attention. The lower effort posts might get more direct attention but only because of your reputation which is indirectly caused by the high effort posts which much fewer people read.
Just a theory, i wonder if people who are actually internet famous would agree or not (since i am not).
Maxwell's original equations connected light and electricity. Maxwell's original 20 equations had 20 unknowns, using 'quaternion-based notation', which no one understood.
Heaviside restated Maxwell's 20 equations into 4 equations using vector calculus. The restatements helped with simplification, but I believe it wasn't without cost.
There's a lot that's still unexplained in our modern world, especially with regards to individual humans' experiences. I got a window on these as a taxi driver, where I was sent people who helped me figure out things I'd been wondering about.
There ought to be a link between electromagnetism and gravity, we just haven't figured it out yet. This wikipedia article was cited by Bing CoPilot in response to my query. It's above my pay grade, maybe one of you can translate it for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitoelectromagnetism
I'm curious now, would you indulge me? If its woo woo we can just pretend no one is reading :)
A friend told me that the 2 important rules to surviving corporate environments is the following in no specific order.
1. Never lie to someone, and own what you did. Wordsmithing is a gray area but never lie, the reputation of not being truthful can follow you for decades.
2. Never volunteer information that isn't specifically asked for. This isn't a free pass to not provide critical info when your working on stuff like a project, but keep in mind that HR always can dig up info when they want to fire you or not offer you a job. Be honest and to the point, but don't volunteer info that can put you in a bad spot.
TLDR: if they don't ask, don't tell. But if they ask, be honest
It’s a small thing, but if the reporter picked this story due to their name, I appreciate that decision.
