And with that principle in mind, I can see how the "normal" way focus works (with parallel lens and sensor) as its own degenerate case of rotation, with the axis of rotation sitting at (or approaching) infinity, and the angle just being measured as a distance along a perpendicular line

Oh no way this is so cool

Wow, the impact of just 10Β° tilt is way more significant than I'd expect. What's going on there? the focal plane seems to be at far more than 10Β° from the sensor.

I can't tell you how glad I am to see that the sentiment around AI has clearly turned against it. A long time ago I felt like the only viable hope for pushback here is a cultural one, and it's actually happening, it's working β€οΈ

Great post about a fascinating phenomenon. We touched on this in a 2023 piece; it seems people have not really caught on in the interim, a testimony to the enduring effectiveness of RLHF in producing strong Eliza effects doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...
![Whether following predesigned dialog flows or generated by next token prediction, the output of conversational interfaces is fundamentally devoid of accountability: it is text produced without a commitment to truth or joint action [72]. By tailoring textual output to be maximally in line with what human raters prefer, techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback obscure this lack of accountability but do not fundamentally change it: a text generator may βapologiseβ when prompted for clarification or correction but will indifferently regurgitate the same misunderstanding or a new one on the next occasion](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tfyqeo3tprov5lejatxoi6lb/bafkreiafx6x7skrbrudw4n33ehsxl5oenmuog77lo3u3purloq2mox3bqm@jpeg)

hmm, reading that and some related links, it looks like consensus says there's nothing remarkable for an observer free-falling past the event horizon. which seems to contradict either that black holes evaporate in finite (outside) time, or that falling into a black hole takes infinite (outside) time

but as you've said, due to hawking radiation, surely the infalling observer would dissipate at an apparently (from their own POV) increasing rate as they approach, and disappear completely before they can cross the horizon?

which has led me to the idea that from the POV of an infalling observer, the singularity would form as they cross the horizon, while the universe dies around it.

That's been my sticking point for a while too. if everything falling in appears to slow, and takes an infinite amount of "outside" time to cross the event horizon, then surely the singularity can never form, as no matter can actually cross the event horizon when observed from outside

![I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it's madness. Ultimately, in the history of [the] world, penises entering vaginas have given a lot of people a lot of pleasure; axes entering skulls, well, not so much.
