Leave your phone, dog, car, wallet, smart watch, hearing aids, headphones, and any other potentially “smart” / Bluetooth devices at home. If it can respond to a signal, like an RFID card in your wallet, then it should stay home.

He’s busy getting fucked in the arse 24/7 so that you don’t have to, then goes and helps defend your right to own the shit you bought. That’s the face of a man of the people.

I don’t know why, but your comment just inspired me to write a dystopian novel trilogy that hinges on being able to display a captcha where users must prove they are AI.

What are all these tricks?

If there’s one thing I imagine this tech would be pretty good at, it would be profiling writing styles. Given enough samples, I don’t see why a personal account without ID wouldn’t be able to be mapped with high confidence to a corporate account with ID. Especially if connections come from the same region.

That’s really smart. You could have just a garage above your house.

Google knows when you use their services to sign in, and for what third party they’re authorizing the requests. The data doesn’t need to be sold back to Google.

The bar for entry for contributing to these projects is too high. Can we instead do work to lower the bar? I don’t want to accept that there’s nothing we can do beside open our wallets. Not that I’m against donating, it’s just that money isn’t my strongest asset.

Should be a challenge, “how can I help Linux get there?” If more of the general public tech enthusiasts were interested in developing this out, I have no doubt it could be done in months time. Ref: be the change you want to see in the world.

Thanks for the thorough reply!

What I’m gathering is that “wave” can refer to a behavioral pattern that is substrate independent — it refers to a logical function more than it does an ontological presence. That said, quantum waves are a substrate that exists beneath the material manifestations you and I experience (called a “wave” more-or-less for its mathematical properties)?

If that’s fair, would it be correct to call the quantum wave a “substrate” as I did?

and you know another thing about quantum field theory I don’t quite understand… I think it still depends on a four dimensional backdrop universe, for these fields to pervade. That fourth dimension is time, which is function of entropy. If time exists, that means the backdrop isn’t static — it evolves. That means it needs a fundamental explanation as well, something more than being just a background. No?

We revolt once someone says, “fuck it, fine. I will revolt.” (Remembers Luigi) Or, well damn. I guess when enough people… (Remembers that MAGA was technically a revolt) nevermind.

She might already have it, hence the reason she thinks it’s fine. People think abuse builds character. There’s all kinds of ways to live with and spread your own trauma.

People are using agentic harness software, where the LLM streams output directly to your computer terminal. With this setup the harness recognizes structured commands from the LLM, which lets it read files on your PC using local tools. This supposedly lets the LLM figure out how to engage with the project better. I’ve consumed 500k tokens in no time using this approach.

But can everything be waves? Waves need to propagate through a substrate… so if everything is a wave, what is space?

Fake leftist? Did he forget his lefty certification? Is he right-handed? What does it even mean to be a fake left???

I recall quite a few democrats switching isles after being elected. That’s a fake leftist. Mamdani… all he did was be honest about his goals. Are you saying being honest makes you a fake leftist? Or is it having goals which means you’re a fake leftist?

Or… oh my god. It’s because he’s a socialist democrat? Dear god, you’re right. That’s not left at all! /s you dweeb.

This account has got to be a propaganda shill, right? One of those accounts financed by foreign states to meddle in online political discourse and increase polarization?

There’s something to be said about these “ingredients.” They’re stable. Stable enough that an entire species can bootstrap their entire lifelong experience off these. Whether they’re stable because of human psychology or some more fundamental reason is unknown, but nonetheless they are stable.

They also self-perpetuate. Humans spread ideas. Humans become convinced of new ideas. Then humans act on those ideas.

In the practice of these ingredients/behaviors, the human species has provided solutions to many of its own problems. That’s to say, we’ve benefited from these structures.

Put that way, it makes you wonder if these structures can be studied for their effects. Can there be similar structures, being stable and self-perpetuating, but that are actually more destructive than beneficial? Like a kind of ideological virus?

Wouldn’t a realist believe that classes are self organizing structures in society, defined in opposition to the other, and that for one class to blame its problems on another would be to miss the point that the society is sick altogether?
