rational people can use very irrational people as babble generators in conversations, if the rational people are high prune (which they usually are).

Hating Brave is Cool!

Image

I like and use the Brave Browser.It’s a free and open source browser with features like:

1. Ad-blocking by default.
   
2. Tracker-blocking by default.
   
3. Anti-fingerprinting mechanisms to prevent you from being monitored.
   
4. Built-in Tor windows.
   
5. Run by a based Christian and not furry leftists.
   

As far as I’m concerned, Brave is indisputably the best general-purpose browser out there.There are other okay brows … ⌘ Read more

Whether to invest in stocks is moral tracks with whether general economic growth is moral.

2x3: {lives in social/physical reality}×{views things generally as positive/zero/negative sum}. To be honest, I think there’s relatively few people in social positive sum reality frames.

@niplav@niplav.github.io I wouldn’t disagree with your characterization of people who’re interested in radical life extension, but their messaging, generally, seems to not mention “adding life to your years” at all. “Live to be 150” doesn’t sound all that great if you’re going to have 15 years of being in your 80s, so to speak.

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “A good read: Why I find longtermism hard – […]” -> Interesting! I don’t particularly share that emotional intuition (although my bias probably cuts the other way: I am more moved by interesting projects, and more interesting problems probably also less neglected)–I generally find most problems other people find salient not very moving at all (although probably equally strongly moved by extremely near suffering compared to other people, but with a stronger emotional distance discount). EA makes sense in a very different way to me (phenomenologically, probably closest to philosophical high valence states it evokes).

“Everyone who had serious philosophical conundra on that subject just, you know, died, a generation before. The Bitchun Society didn’t need to convert its detractors, just outlive them.”

@prologic@twtxt.net Ok.. so using NaCL boxes. yeah its just a combo of using secretbox with a generated key/nonce. and then using the pubkey box to encrypt the key/nonce for each device.

@prologic@twtxt.net sender generates an AES key encrypts message. gets the device list for user and encrypts key for each device. sends the encryptedkeys+cypertext.

@prologic@twtxt.net for encryption. we can have browser/app generate ec25519 keypair. store the private on device and add pub to list of devices for the user on pod.

with some scripting, I could probably use my upcoming !weewiki !zettelkasten as a drop-in replacement for !twtxt, and then generate the twtxt file. however, I think I am going to keep them separate for the time being. let them both grow to serve different purposes.

finally finished all the initial ugen documentation. everything now has a sentence or two. the generated page can be accessed from the ugen wiki page [[/proj/monolith/wiki/ugens]] #updates #monolith

I’m hoping to build a phasor-to-clock signal generator, which divides up a phasor into an arbitrary number of ticks. Using a global phasor as a global clock would allow for interesting polyrhythms, as well more flexible precision in sequencers. It’s also closer to how human-based conducting works. #halfbakedideas

the fe language by rxi would make for a great frontend for generating txtvm code maybe #halfbakedideas

This morning I had this really weird notion of building a generative podcast complete with musical interludes and asemic speech using a speech synthesizer. It’d be interesting to have “interviews” with two distinct vocal characters. #halfbakedideas

It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].

Inline Janet means I should be able to make calls to functions defined in the config file. For example, the =ref= function is how I usually make wiki reference links. This @!(ref “wiki_index” “link right here”)!@ should take you to my automatically generated weewiki index of all the wiki pages.

Never mistake your inability to richly imagine the outgroup for an actual general consensus among them. No matter how wrong they might be about the things they agree on, they define themselves by their minor internal schisms.

Bad idea of the day: Do a free machine-generated text class at a library (using tracery or something), self-publish the course materials as a book (with proceeds going to the library as donations), & get a couple copies for the stacks.
