I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.

Bye Bye ChatGPT Nvidia just launched Chat with RTX and it's free for everyone. Here are the details (+ how to download):

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NVIDIA ChatRTX is not a brand new feature, it has been available since February 13, 2024. However, this feature does not compare to ChatGPT since it requires an RTX 30 Series GPU or higher and is less advanced than ChatGPT overall. blogs.nvidia.com/blog/chat-with…

I have never learned through any video lectures. This video by German physicist Fredric Schuller is just so fundamentally clear ! A demonstration of “perfection in teaching.” Circulate it in the greatest possible number to help aspiring physicists learn.  youtu.be/GbqA9Xn_iM0?feature…

I know this has gotten too much attention, but I finally watched it, and from 09:00 on is something every physics student should take to heart. Lenny dispenses wisdom.
