    will you please stop hyping crappy scientology chess game machine "artificial intelligences" that for starters lack any internal process akin to thought... only saying... nah...

  5. Catholic Child Abuse... For God on Vatican Attack Provides Insight Into Anonymous · · Score: 1

    The priest class abducted the psychedelic sacraments that constituted man's ritual diet, taking knowledge of god from us, and claimed to have it hidden in reserve somewhere. The priests claimed to be able to barter with us for knowledge of god, the most precious thing we ever knew, so we started giving them everything we had, hoping for scraps of it. Knowledge of god was the most precious thing we ever knew. Priests are the ultimate muggers and cheats, the first capitalists. And what they claim to be trading with, their currency, is knowledge of god they in reality no longer have, but we miss it so badly, we'll give them anything in supplication to the lie

    So they made the sacrament a placebo, the Eucharist, and told us the closest we'll come to god on our own is reading the Bible

    You can still take mushrooms or acid and know god in your home, initiate yourself into adulthood the way man always has done, and have religion back, a living religion, not a 2000-years-dead one. That's all I need to say about this

    Peace

  6. No shit on Antibiotics Are Useless In Treating Most Sinus Infections · · Score: 1

    I tried amoxicillin for my sinus infection in its first year. Nothing happened, bar placebo effects, and now the infection is four years old and nothing can touch it. Maybe it's fungal. Maybe not. I just hope at least surgery can remove it, one day. It's annoying

    forced me to take plasticized Dextromethorphan cough syrup ("Delsym") for fourteen days until I had a left frontal lobe hemorrhage!! THEY USED IT TO BLOW UP MY BRAIN.

It could undo some of the damage! Ohhh

    No-one listened to me! I complained about my scientology head chip for eight months before that happened! Now my brain hemorrhage is eight months old and allll of you let this happen! Oh, oh, ohhhhh....

  23. Re:Sorry I'm late posting, but... on Electronic Life Makes Evolving Art · · Score: 1

    That is just randoms starving to death at roughly the same time or dying of old age. You can tamper mincritters in F6 to speed that part up, or slow it down, if you want. It's a search at the start: then when a species gets hold, it's optimization

  25. Controls-Relevant Part of Changelog on Electronic Life Makes Evolving Art · · Score: 4, Interesting

    + keys to drug the whole population: hjnm, and undrug, dfcvb. Fullscreen was moved to g, colourmode moved to x, and mouselook moved to / (careful!)

    If you hit F1, a lot of those keys are misreported -- I'm so sorry ;_;

    Also, do hit 's' as one of the first things and edit your new profile called 'default' in the working directory, then launch with --profile default to use the new settings. A lot of the options new with critterdrug aren't configurable in-game yet...

    Also it uses ~/.critterding like critterding itself. This is not really a major collision, you can still use both apps if you separate the profile names and keep the load dir clean (can't exchange critters between ding and drug)

    Those are the most important caveats... if you want to show them pictures, I'd make ~/.critterding/screenshots a ramdisk... then just squirt 64x48 PNM's to scrn.pnm there, and set show_scrn.pnm_every. Also, anim_screen_every can be set much higher than 1 in order to make sure each pixel sits long enough to convert to a firing rate (not just a potential change)... or they might only 'see' a blur

    I reasoned eventually that what they experience as qualia is probably firing rates not potentials. But what exactly does that say, anyway?

    I'm really happy it hit the frontpage :3 It's a science app and it isn't finished but I hope someone gets some joy from this. Researching evolved AI has been a lot of fun for me. The app is about ten months old... critterding, two to three years. In fact critterding is included in debian now.
