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.
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
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? 🙂
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.

Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.
This is a neat idea until you're in a situation where you remember 38 different words for a thing, just not the one in the language you need

Read and write all languages. Be it swahili, mandarin, latin, hieroglyfs, python, c++ or java. ;)
You had me until Java.
I want to understand, intrinsically, and be able to manipulate to my liking, all the financial systems of the world.
At worst, I'd quickly become a well-paid accountant. At best, I'd become an extremely talented, untraceable, modern Robin Hood.
This would be a pretty dope tv show for about a season.
I've thought about that a lot. If I won a near bn or more lottery, could I stay grounded enough, after hiring a reputable financial planner, to found a Montessori school of high global academic standards or free health clinic, including pharmacy, that includes plant medicines, organic foods diets, where appropriate, and/or a smaller side project or two? Or would I be irresponsible and do an Elvis-type thing for my primary caregiver and for my child that's still in my life, rather than set them up with a trust, so they would be able to be truly financially independent, should their spouse pass before them? It's easy to think the best of ourselves until the moment of truth arrives. I'd hope I'd be financially responsible, hire the planner, give to my community in a meaningful, probably anonymous way (because of sudden best friends clamoring for Fendi bags and Lambos), and buy myself an old Volvo or Audi, dependable and unostentatious.
I can't reasonably spend more than like 100m, including giving millions to friends and family. Like what the fuck would I even buy? I could buy 4 lambos and 2 houses for every friend I have and every family member I talk to and barely make a dent.
Probably just donate it to whatever the best charities are for a variety of things.
Taxes will take a chunk, and if you take immediate payout, that's another chunk. My community has needs I would like to responsibly and realistically fund, long after my death.
Yachts and real estate.
