Wrong meme, know I. But somehow All Your Base sensor caught in article.
The meme of logic and rationality is thriving, but you will never truly know whether the experience of rationality and logic is anything more than a queer twist of energy in the ether, like all beliefs (including this one).
Hell, I write mathematical formulas, do various artistic things with them, "know" how they work and are connected by certain axioms. I also "know" that this "knowledge" could simply feel true and connected, and be nothing more than a seemingly persistent twist in existence.
It's interesting to see that some still feel that their thoughts, which are supported by other thoughts, and interconnected according to rules (which are thoughts), have some type of existence other than as thoughts. So "the" universe seems to have existed (from preexistence state, probably boot phase) for 14.5 billion years, based on thoughts that have arisen. Just a thought.....
Then you get a fog to read your brain and "upload" you into its systems. Then you have a human-sentient-fog. Wouldn't you trade your physical body for a foglet one?
That's so pre-Mayan new cycle. There are probably a few of you that are still in simulated old cycle bodies, waiting until you've reached the sentience level required for ascension to the new cycle. The clock is ticking.
Yeah. Already invented- memory implantation mechanisms deceptively marketed as "recreational drugs". Too bad individuals aren't aware that they don't every see reality.... until they pass the test. Brains? Really?
Because nobody has figured out exactly how one would warp space, only that it's theoretically possible.
I generally put a rock where I want to warp space. It's like a paperweight, except it holds downs space. -- not that a physicist would ever perceive it this way.
In all of these scenarios, there are multiple observers in the form of fermions receiving and transmitting bosons. It isn't simply the human observer that is counted in QM....
It's a misleading analogy for QM in that it relies on the lack of observation of such a large system (cat, poison, etc.). The cat itself is an observer of whether or not the particle decays, as is the detector, etc.
In fact, the state of the cat is observed by the box and every particle within it- does it maintain its output of IR or because its metabolism has ceased does its output of IR diminish?
Blehh- someones quick and insightful joke about QM can cause such a high number of uncollapsed states among the unobservant.
Personally, I can foresee a group of these going down the road when one in the lead hits a pothole and does the well-known segway faceplant. Collision avoidance kicks in on the following vehicles - causing them to segway faceplant and it looks like a billiard table.
When I think of a flock of segways, I imagine a bowling alley.
Yes, it's simple enough to say "Just quit smoking". You've never been a smoker or been someone almost completely dependent on cigarettes.
I smoked regularly and quit except for social situations involving alcohol. It wasn't a big deal- I had smoked for years and decided I didn't want to keep doing it and stopped.
You know the hardest part about quitting smoking? The psychological bullshit about addiction to nicotine: you are taught that you are mentally and physically addicted to tobacco by the anti-tobacco lobby.
When you think "normally I'd have a smoke right now, but I'm quitting", all of the bullshit you've been indoctrinated into believing about nicotine addiction makes you think that you will have a lot of trouble resisting smoking that cigarette. In other words you think that not smoking the cigarette is going to be hard- and this powerful thought exists in your mind because you've been told it your whole fucking life. If anything, it's the last great advertising scam of the tobacco industry.
To reiterate: You've been told time and time again that you will want to smoke the cigarette when you quit. You've been told this by people who CLAIM they want to help you quit. However, this message perpetuates tobacco addiction. Who does this false message benefit? The tobacco industry.
I simply didn't believe the bullshit, all of the hype about tobacco addiction, and guess what? It's as easy to break the habit of smoking a cigarette as it is to break any habitual behavior- you just don't do it. It isn't going to be any harder to break the habit- except for all of the bullshit that has been driven into your subconscious and conscious mind from the "anti" (actually pro) tobacco industry.
The "anti" tobacco lobby is the tobacco industry's magnum opus, its last great hoorah. It's hard to keep customers when your product is dangerous and isn't actually very addictive- but pose as someone helping them quit who tells them it is very hard to quit... that's a Karl Rove.
Might work with some of [shameless plug] my fractal formulas * [/shameless plug], although you'd have to use sqrt [1-sin^2 (x)] for cosine as it apparently isn't implemented? (I only see sin and atan2).
Probably try it with simple 2d fractal formulas first. Nice...
On another note (I'll scan thread carefully), any recommendations for other open source mathematical music programs?
Beer. What beer you use is important as well. Dark... something Porterish...
Start with some ground meat (brown it up a bit).
Throw in some onions, peppers (red and green bell), 1/3 cup Frank's red hot, garlic (a few cloves, minced or pressed in a garlic press). Toss in a beer or 2. A few cans diced tomatoes. Sugar (white or brown) to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
Add yer spices: CHILI POWDER, cumin (some already in the chili powder, but a bit more won't hurt- don't kill it with cumin though, lots of flavors gotta come outta a great chili), oregano (yup, that too), onion powder (just because it's awesome), garlic powder (yeah... do it), red pepper flakes to taste (or toss a habanero in it...). Salt if it needs it (depending on taste, Frank's has a bunch of salt in it already, but I usually like a bit more). Screw it... you might as well grind some fresh black pepper into it as well. Black pepper rules.
Let it simmer for a while to reduce the amount of liquid. An hour or so before it's ready, add in a few cans of beens- red kidney, light red, pinto, etc.. and a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar for some zing - make sure you balance it with sugar, if you make it too sour.
Serve it up with some grated cheese and either crackers or chips.
For the grated cheese, try some Cabot's habanero cheddar....:D although you might want some pre-shredded mexican cheese blend or sharp cheddar as well.
Anyways... Now I gotta make chili this weekend. Thanks for the idea.
Slashdot Mirror
Fortunately the universe is simulated on windo..... Wow, I didn't know the last thing I saw would be white writing on a blue background.
In other news. I kind of doubt these muckabouts considered running the simulation with 4+ dimensional dark matter/energy.
It's like they don't even know that non-3d matter cannot interact directly with 3d matter except through gravitation! Ric Romero reporting...

Nah. It's called decentralized distributed quantum networking.

Been pwned lately?
I suppose it's time to get out of the pr0n business.
and I think they did mean "so hard milk came out of my nose...".

I clicked on the link and I couldn't see anything.
Since then I've been slowly depressing my back button for what seems like years... to you.

Yes, there was not a lot of software, though there was some you could buy on cassette as you say, or type in from magazines.
Lol.. some of the games were so awesome- they blow current generation computer games out of the water.
Still have the books "Games for your timex sinclair 1000" and "GfyTS 2000" stashed, and the TS 1000 with 16k ram pack in the attic.

I used to provide useful links, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

So it should be about not putting the round peg in the square hole?
The kid who grabs a sledgehammer from the maintenance room passes.
Kids who can't get the round peg in the square hole are mentally deficient.
Now that was funny. :D
and don't forget sour cream. sheesh.... Also, I sometimes rinse the cans of beans... sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood.
You forgot the single most important ingredient.
Cumin
I normally don't do this, but. WRONG!
Beer. What beer you use is important as well. Dark... something Porterish...

Not retaining logs might be illegal, but is it illegal to not make the logs in the first place?
This whole conversation strikes me as a bit anal retentive...
What about the botnet comprised of all the electrons in the solar system? :D Everyone is rooted....
What about the energy used creating efficiency?
Are we experiencing an increase in efficiency?
OR
Are we expending every increasing amounts of energy creating the appearance of efficiency?
Hahaha... you had the grilled shrimp on the barbie?
Well, at least theSkyNet will see that I was the first to welcome, I mean bow before, it. Did I just type that out loud?
