There is a solution. It's just 80 digits long. I added it to the OP in the spoiler.

It's not just the narrow wavelength. Even with a perfectly monochromatic green light, your green receptors would activate a lot but your receptors for red and blue would still activate a bit. These researchers specifically target only the green receptors to activate (by literally shooting light at those receptors in particular), so for the first time ever your brain reads a pure green signal.

It's a math trick. Not a physical theory.

Scientists have came up with countless ways to fix the Hubble tension. But all these modified theories so far are either

  • contrived
  • untestable with present day observational instruments
  • currently being tested
  • already tested and deemed incompatible with reality.

Any linear relationship in this calculation would be an approximation. They're useful for intuition and quickly explaining things, but for actual business either the full nonlinear relationship is used, or if the linear approximation is used the approximation error must be bounded by an acceptably small parameter.

Lambda-CDM is fully aware of general relativity. Some people may try to explain it with nonrelativistic pictures to help you build intuition, but the actual theory and calculation is fully relativistic so you don't have to worry about that.

since we have 2 parameters to evaluate

I don't follow. What two parameters?

[–] BB84@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The instrumental error bars are no longer overlapping. But if we imagine all the modifications one could make to Lambda-CDM, then there is still a huge "theory" error bar that subsumes all these.

Basically I'm saying the model is wrong, yes, but it can very much be fixed.

thing I don't like is on the rise

must be the tankies

[–] BB84@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

Yes it's a problem with the model. But it a problem that can very likely be fixed. We don't have to throw out the entire model and start from scratch.

 

I am seeing posts from https://hexbear.net/ once again. Anyone know what happened since they lost their domain name? How did they get it back?

Caption: an interview dialogue

  • Are dark matter models unsuited to explain observations? [the "dark matter models" and "to explain observations" parts are poorly edited onto the image, overlaying the original text]
  • In my view, they are unsuited.
  • Why?
  • That's my opinion, don't ask me why.

End of caption

Dark matter is the mainstream among physicists, but internet commentators keep saying it can't be right because it "feels off".

Of course, skepticism is good for science! You just need to justify it more than saying the mainstream "feels off".

For people who prefer alternative explanations over dark matter for non-vibe-based reasons, I would love to hear your thoughts! Leave a comment!

 

Absolutely humongous model. Mixture of 256 experts with 8 activated each time.

Aider leaderboard: The only model above πŸ‹ v3 here is ~~Open~~AI o1. DeepSeek is known to make amazing models and Aider rotates their benchmark over time, so it is unlikely that this is a train-on-benchmark situation.

Some more benchmarks: on Reddit.
