That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.

Two weeks? I feel like 9 months minimum.

I like how in Trump’s world he thinks he needs to explain the internet to people.

People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.

Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?

Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.

I don’t let what other people do ruin my happiness. If I’m happy with the work I’m doing and the amount I’m getting paid then I really don’t care what other people do.

Guy Fieri?

Is it possible to go too far in one direction? You’ll never know unless you find out, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever find out.

I think in his later years Feynman did LSD and started feeling more comfortable with the potential philosophical ramifications of his work. We have to draw a line somewhere as a starting point for our understanding of reality, but it’s important to always be willing to reconsider that line. That’s what good science is all about.

I’ve been reading The Screwtape Letters and having aot of fun with it. Lewis and Wormwood both know how to pull the levers to get an emotional reaction out of a person lol

During the AI goldrush you can make your fortune selling bookshelves.

I agree with that sentiment. If it’s any consolation I think his “spirit” lives on in the work he helped create and in the people he inspired.

I’m about to go through the Hyprland setup tutorial and I’m pumped af.

It’s one of the things I love most about being alive. When I was a kid I loved reading the names and flavor text of Duel Masters cards. They always seemed pulled from the most weirdest corners of people’s minds lol

My favorites were always the lovecraftian horrors that had really mundane descriptions.

There are definitely plenty of people on Telegram running channels advertising stolen CCs, exploits, and phishing kits.

I think it’s fair to call it the “dark web” because it fits the technical definition.

Holy crap two fun back and forths leads to a book recommendation, today has been a great day. Thank you!

The curve could definitely be S shaped, but it’s hard to say.

I think that I would be really unhappy/bored in a world where I got to experience “everything” I wanted to do. In fact, just the idea of not having to make any trade offs/compromises is incredibly paralyzing to think about right now lol

If the clones don’t allow me to live forever, eventually dying would be the most interesting thing for me to do because it would be the only “new” thing left to experience in my lifetime.

Being able to clone myself and sync with my clones is something I’ve thought about since I was a kid.

I don’t think increasing the number of clones would ever allow me to satisfy all my wishes. The number of things I want to do increases with the number of experiences I have in a non-linear way. If I want to be satisfied I need to be willing to accept all of my wishes will never be fulfilled.

To answer your question specifically: 0 clones

It’s not bad to have the conversational option, but at a certain point in a project’s life cycle it probably shouldn’t be the only option.

A complex project like a government would have a hard time throwing out all their knowledge infrastructure and relying purely on Discord.

No. Peace of mind comes from trusting, not from knowing.
