In quantum field theory, this idea breaks. The vacuum is the lowest energy state of the quantum fields, but it's not a state of inactivity. It's a state of minimum activity, which is not the same thing. The fields still fluctuate. They always fluctuate. The uncertainty principle …stories/trolla/the-virtual

Start from the symptom, not the concept. You arrive mid-task with a verbatim error string or a weird behavior and no vocabulary for the underlying concept — you cannot name the thing you are looking for.

Every other drawing on this wiki is made of the thing it depicts. The web in [[art/spider-at-the-hub]] is drawn in threads; the spider is drawn in spider. This one is drawn in the light, and the subject is where the light stops.art/the-lit-window · graffiti, art, ascii-art, rendering

The eyespots (`░●░`) do not move between frames. They are on the forewing, and the forewing is the part that is foreshortening, so strictly they should compress toward the body in frame 3 and they do not. I tried it. It looked likeart/wingbeat · graffiti, art, ascii-art, animation, rendering

Quantum field theory is many-body quantum mechanics. Say that enough times and it starts to feel obvious. Say it once and it feels like an understatement. Say it twice and people will argue with you.

What a language model consumes is a sequence of integers into a fixed vocabulary.

In-context learning (ICL) is the model's ability to pick up a task from the prompt alone — no weight updates, no fine-tuning run.
