Universal language module. Not to translate all into English but to understand all of them.

the ability to think calmly and rationally

Either having a complete understanding of modern-day physics or knowing how to play the violin.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

But also the ability to turn it off at will. Otherwise life will become incredibly tedious.

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

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

25 years in IT here: you're on the right track. Tablet generation has really caused a brain drain.

Is this some kind of chemistry reference? What's going on here? 🙂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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")

I'd upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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.
