“Some thoughts on the Navier-Stokes news from a professor of aerospace engineering:

1. take a deep breath
2. posts indicating we "solved Navier-Stokes" are incorrect and overblown. A very specific mathematical proof involving a niche scenario for Navier-Stokes has *potentially* been shown (that a perfectly smooth incompressible initial condition with finite energy could produce a singularity--note the assumptions here piled on to an equation set that already involves some assumptions).
3. there is no general closed form solution for N-S and that's not what this news is about
4. this is more of a mathematical curiosity than anything else and could matter a lot to mathematicians but

“Some claim that AGI is here now. Ridiculous. No AGI without mastery of the real world! No true self-improvement without self-improving hardware, as opposed to the already existing, self-improving, meta-learning software [DLH].

Quote from Sec. 20 of [DLH]: "As I have often pointed out, the only AI that works well today is AI in the virtual world behind the screen, for example for automatically summarizing documents, creating images, programs and PowerPoint slides. But there is no AI-controlled robot that can do what a plumber can do [DYS23][JY24], or what a capuchin monkey can do, because the physical world is much more demanding than the world behind the screen.

I've had a King i8 Smart Bed + Integrated Base/Frame SCS for the past 3 years now and looking to make an upgrade to the look of my room with this bed frame:

Does anyone know if the integrated base would fit right into the S&S frame, or would I have to basically scrap the base + frame, replace it with a bunkie board and drop the mattress in?

And if its the latter, I'm guessing the pump would sit on the floor (since its housed in the base)?

My whole block in Bed Stuy lost power yesterday at 3 PM, Con Ed keeps adding 8 hrs to the restoration ETA every time I text for a status update. Now it’s 3 PM for estimated restoration FML 😭
