    Universal language module. Not to translate all into English but to understand all of them.

    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.

      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

          25 years in IT here: you’re on the right track. Tablet generation has really caused a brain drain.

    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).

        Not sure about the latter, but NZT was the focal “smart” drug in Limitless (a show on the premise “this drug makes u smart but if u stop taking it bad stuff happens”)

    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

      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.

        If I had to liken ADHD to computer terms, I think I would blame a faulty task scheduler. That’s what issues the threads to the CPU. When Ryzen came out and also when Intel moved to Performance and Efficiency cores there were issues with efficient task scheduling.

        I might be a little obsessed with efficiency. Possibly due to my issues making me inefficient by nature, I tend to seek efficiency wherever I can, like some mirage in the desert of my mind.

          Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can’t tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though…

      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

        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.

            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.
