Probably the ability to not be an unbalanced idiot 24/7. I literally fell up the stairs twice this week. There are few people who are less scatter-brained than me.
Unlimited energy reserves would be nice. If I had half the energy I had when I was 16 I’d be fucking golden
Universal language module. Not to translate all into English but to understand all of them.
You’re now a protocol droid.
Just put this fish in your ear.
I would use it as a Total Perspective Vortex and dump the scale of the universe into my mind.
I would immediately download more RAM. No hax. Really works.
Ability to complete a household project with only 1 trip to the hardware store.
When I was driving instacart between jobs or what not I had one for just that. Pick up 4 items from Lowes. Called them and she said they just left there and weren’t going back, haha
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.
What if that just drives you insane due to the problem described by Gödel’s incompleteness theorem? Maybe you’d become susceptible to someone telling you “this statement is false”.
Ideally, I wouldn’t have to see the proofs for everything, just recognize the observable math.
The problem with the “This statement is false” could simply be coupled by something akin to imaginary numbers. Paradoxes can be described mathematically without being solvable.
And when you discover that free will is an illusion because of deterministic patterns, what will you do then?
Honestly finding out the lack of free will exists would be the most liberating thing ever. I could just let autopilot take its course.
Whatever it is physics demands they do, obviously.
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
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.
the ability to think calmly and rationally
Whatever is fun and makes money. Tired of being bored and broke all the time.
I too wouldn’t mind uploading poll dancing abilities. I feel like that would help lose weight and get great core strength so quickly.
The crazy thing is that you can literally just do this by studying engineering for a few years. It’s not that hard, it just takes some work.
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
25 years in IT here: you’re on the right track. Tablet generation has really caused a brain drain.
Either having a complete understanding of modern-day physics or knowing how to play the violin.
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).
C2-niveau francais, s’il vous plait.
edit or as translate google would put it: niveau C2 de francais, merci.
Guitar sounds fun
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.
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.
You will just be more (less?) Efficient and being efficient.
I might be a little obsessed with efficiency. Possibly due to my issues making me inefficient by nature, I tend to seek efficiency wherever I can, like some mirage in the desert of my mind.
Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can’t tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though…
