Can you prove to yourself that your every behavior isn't the result of a complex chain of mathematical equations? I know I can't.

What is your definition of intelligent? because I see evidence of intelligent machines all around us.

The fact that you can ask the question is, paradoxically, the answer. Your mind is computed by your brain.

It might also put some brakes on rampant "disrupt" capitalist overdrive we're in. I honestly can't think of any tech that I NEED to progress badly enough to compromise customer safety.

Or a fragment shader.

4% here!

"natural"

He's donated 5 percent of his wealth. Him and buffet are top of the billionaire giving pile at 3 and 5 %. that means 95% of their wealth is still tied up in service of further wealth extraction.

Wow TIL, very cool.

Rubber meet road.

Clicks -> sees app store link -> hits back button.

If your social media app isn't browser based first and foremost.. then I don't trust your judgement.

The first Macintosh UI was kinda the backlash to the default night mode of the original dos boxes.

I agree w the above r.e. lsd/shrooms .. never done dmt tho.. not particularly interested. I've done salvia which I've been td is like a super light version of dmt, and was not a big fan.. thought at least salvia is only about 15 minutes :D lots of ominous dread.

Barf the rainbow.

Check out erowid if you want some high dosage lsd stories. In the early 90s I encountered some "mop up" doses that were claimed to be in the 3000 mic range. I tried them twice.. first time during the Rodney king riots in SF (took half a mopup, started out really fun then devolved into a nightmare. Hid in the garden of a high end restaurant, literally inside a bush, watching the mayhem unfold on market Street.. Second time was while backpacking in pt Reyes and that was the best, most transformative drug experience I've ever had. I talked to a mushroom and learned a lot about my self and humanities relationship to nature.. But, at peak, I was completely disassociated. Basically blind/deaf to external reality for about 3-4 hours. I was with 3 other people.. and I think we were just rolling around in a meadow the whole time. Eventually we somehow ended up at the ocean, and the sunset brought us all to tears. In the 90s, the most commonly available doses here on the street were about 150 mics, and cost around 2 to 6 bucks. And the comedown was ugly. I've been told that cheap/old lsd, degrades into strychnine.. which is why the comedown is so harsh. On the high dose ones I did, the comedown was completely different. Nowadays I stick to the occasional couple of shrooms or a hit of molly once or twice a year. I think today I would have too much emotional baggage and ties to my consentual shared hallucination with humanity to do psychs that powerful again.

I specifically switched to juul from cigs because I knew of nicotine salts vs the type used in most vapes. Its a huge deal and has probably saved my life.

absolute disaster

Citation needed. 5th largest economy ON EARTH. By that metric, every other state is a disaster.

But.. whatever helps you sleep at night.. I guess.

You can live code js out of the box. Still cool though.

I never quite understand this though.. because everything that I've seen about scheme/lisps is that it's a simple modular syntax, self hosting, etc. is it the runtime that is gigantic? Or its std lib?

You get adoption by datamining and autoenrollment so that when people do finally sign in/up.. they already have a network.

"Warte bist die bollen weg sind!! Warte bist die bollen weg sind!!"

-means "wait till the cops are gone!"

That movie was incredible.

You give it a heap. It doesn't allocate memory. It may allocate within its own heap, using whatever allocator/gc strategy it inherits from it's host language.

Card is a Mormon. Not surprised that his fiction is dystopian.

Same.

Hypothetically.. if one were an unattractive misanthrope with low sperm count.. what procreation strategy would you recommend to maximise my comfort in old age? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking I should adopt at least 7 Vietnamese orphans.. I won't be able to provide them more than a community college education, and I will undoubtedly imbue them with emotional problems as well.. so 7 sounds like a safe number to perhaps end up with 1 or 2 more resilient ones that will be able to manage my care...

It's all hype until you realize you've been arguing politics with one of these, on Reddit.

Memory mapped file.. Intermediate binary representation..

Of course they won't. Some city politician will get a kickback and give up the infrastructure for free . Exhibit A: City of San Francisco
