major difference between updating on evidence vs. morals: we know that a bayesian is converging (monotonically?) towards truth with each piece of evidence, while with moral progress, it seems likely that we are not bounded in how wrong our updates can be (even if we grant that the arc bends towards justice in the end). we might need to escape moral local maxima. therefore, it seems good to preserve option value.
I can often distinguish sympathetic mockery from sneering mockery, even with relatively litlte context. I wonder why – what am I picking up on? What is the distinct way of making fun of someone you actually like vs. don’t like?
my brain really likes accumulation.
twt is better because I can pronounce it like twit, which sounds a bit like “twat”, which is an insult and therefore better.
Think of it like buying a signed print of a photo, instead of the photo itself, but the “signature” is an entry in a database and that’s all you get. Still dumb.
so much is different now, i feel like i’m in a completely different place then when i was writing here last
I wouldn’t have bought this mouse if it wasn’t on the shelf at Micro Center. I’ve always thought it was a meme, but I like it a lot.
2-bit audio gives you DC. I like having DC.
@(frogorbits.com) “@niplav Seems like most of the (radical) life extension people are interested in adding years to their lives, but agnostic about adding life to their years. “Be old longer” doesn’t appeal to a lot of people.” -> I disagree, the people who i know that are interested in life extension look to me more engaged in life than the ones who are not (though that hinges on definitions of ”adding life to their years”). i agree that “adding life to your years” is underappreciated, though.
Twtxt is distributed like in the old school unix2unix copy days
I am very excited about this, and it seems like something the twtxt crowd might enjoy: https://anewsession.com/

I don’t think the pod would have to be large. Even on tilde.club and the like, with a few dozen active users, it adds to the fun.

I like finger, but outside of a shared system, the complete lack of discoverability is pretty fatal.
@darch@twtxt.net Just inline images, they wrap like text.
Finally! I was waiting for something like this : Table 2 Net - CSV to GEXF ⌘ Read more…
The AC adapter for my W700ds arrived. I can now say the reviewer who referred to it as “a very brick-like power brick” was absolutely right.
@adi@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de ah.. looks like you still follow movq as vain.
@prologic@twtxt.net @anth Sounds like a good idea. The hash to conv/search url should stay local to a pod.
@prologic@twtxt.net Looks like twtxt.net is already happy with it, so that’s good! I’m just going to aim for that.
