If you sample your own thoughts at twice the Nyquist frequency, you can theoretically achieve full-fidelity introspection - but only for a very short time, since that frequency doubles every few samples
Beware parasitic spells: Drawn to conduits of mana like practitioners, they attach themselves to larger spells to hitch a free ride, force themselves into invocations as intrusive thoughts

being somewhat low-dimensional and interpretable (unlike sets of network weights), it’s also a popular mind interchange format among AIs and post-humans, who need to be extra careful about what or who they empathize with lest the thought turn out to be a logic bomb
PC: runs around aimlessly, goes through the same set of animations all the time, can only do what the programmers thought to add↵NPC: has a dayjob but does whatever they want offscreen, has boatloads of money, owns a wicked castle
It too quiet here for a Monday morning. I swear if I didn’t know better, I would have thought someone died.
Dodo Thoughts https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2018/09/20/dodo-thoughts/
Read some excepts from a book I randomly found yesterday. While the writing was a little dry, I thought it could be an interesting read. However when I looked on Amazon, found out the book was 80 USD. I’m sorry but it was not that interesting.
@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes. I first thought gopher would be a good protocol for this purpose. But HTTP has the advantage, that you don’t always need to fetch the whole file. You can do a HEAD and check for last-modified header.

@sdk@codevoid.de That’s an interesting thought. I Know most are text files but at one time there was someone that used a python CGI Script. That person would have had to make a script for the follows.
Any thoughts about decentralized ways to discover twtxt users? I’ve set up https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt which is my following list plus whatever comes in via user-agent. If everybody would set this up with the with an added .following we could fetch each others list and discover users that way.
Zero-copy deserialization in Julia http://scattered-thoughts.net/blog/2018/08/28/zero-copy-deserialization-in-julia/
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I thought so too. Color me surprised when I surveyed my follow programmers in my dept and only 3 out 12 knew what I was talking about.
I always thought about putting together some sort of micro-blog/journal where I can post my daily brainfarts and list them on my webpage. Now, after adding twtxt to my page I have exactly that. It’s kind of cool.

Somehow, http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/2016-09-01_A-Qualified-Defense-of-Jargon—Other-In-Group-Signifiers-2fe2cd37b66b.html is getting a lot of hate. I thought it was pretty even-handed. Do people dislike it because I said culture fit should only matter when it impacts effectiveness, or that it’s useful at all?
The thing that worries me about MovieBob’s ‘man thought’ pilot is that up until the last few minutes poe’s law is in effect way too much and it’s just indistinguishable from the shit he’s making fun of
Fate/Extra? More like, What? You Thought Fate Was Already / Extra
also don’t panic when you leave a hivemind and everything is fluid and gives way when you give it serious thought - that’s the normal state of the human mind, you’re evolved for this, chill
don’t panic when you join a hivemind and all the concepts feel rigid - you’re not trapped inside its thoughts, consensus concepts just have higher inertial mass
The purpose of thought is to parsimoniously minimize prediction error and a sequence of zeroes is the easiest to predict. Absent constant input or biological urges, the arc of any mind bends towards nothingness.

More comforting thoughts: Maybe it just doesn’t believe in personal culpability and free will. Or it’s busy being snacked on by higher basilisks.
Comforting thought: The basilisk has higher goals and is after your civilization, not you. You don’t need to torture a human’s every single cell to torture the human, in fact it’s counterproductive
About the impermanence of things
Thinking about the impermanence of things is a reoccurring theme for me. It usually happens if I get mad at something I don’t like, which used to be quite often no long ago. I still notice situations that are less than desirable for my point of view, but I no longer get mad every single time. I am trying my very best not to get upset for anything, or with anyone. Yet, the thought of everything being temporary still surrounds me. The last time it came to mind was whe … ⌘ Read more
