A "deliriant" is an entirely different class of drugs to psychedelics. Very different indeed, with far more discrete hallucinations, indistinguishable from reality, like a waking dream.

This is crazy haha. I literally just left my phone in a cab(tuktuk) in Costa Rica a couple weeks ago. It was in my hand one second and then I got out and it wasn't. I've had to contact each organization I have 2fa with and get 2fa

There's the argument that any AI built on silicon is doomed to be analogous to the Chinese Room* because it is reducible to its parts. It's interesting that I am also reducible to my atomic parts. I may be a Chinese Room that has

Advance Wars is an absolute dream to clone. I had that itch too, and made a full clone with story mode in PICO-8 a couple years ago. The challenge there was that PICO-8 has infuriating arbitrary restrictions on code size to limit the develo

In high school I'd have to wait a few hours in the library every evening to be picked up, so I set up an SSH server at home and had my laptop with me. I didn't know about GIT at that time, so I'd SSH into my home server and e

Haha really? Because a good friend of mine has spent a large amount of his life seeking an internal experience that he feels he so desperately needs in order to have lived a complete life. It's called complete aphantasia* and it&#x27

That's a beautiful analogy. At some point Alpha Go learnt all it could from the narratives of humans, and eventually it had to become the creator of its own narratives. Applied generally enough, we see the narrative value of humans, at

Try Pleroma. It will easily run on a raspberry Pi and is growing very fast. It's also a lot easier and simpler to install and deploy than Mastodon; it has far fewer dependencies. Also more features, like chat, have been around for year

I like the idea that we're all the same entity, experiencing itself backwards and forwards through time, eternally forgetting and re-remembering who we really are. That's a fun one. Maybe next time I'll be the individual read

A minor point but > Okay, great. Now skip paying your AWS bill for a few months. If you ran your database locally and with multiple reundant power sources, it wouldn't have this problem. That's of course a bad idea, however it

Finally I can start working on Lemmy again without feeling a moral weight in my gut. Great move on the part of the creators of Lemmy. I know this was a hard thing for them to do, because I know how much they were opposed to removing the fil

Particularly when searching for information that our governments have been paid by corporations to keep us from finding. Google is massively censored.

The full tweet implies that the stack is ready for launch (and indeed has already been stacked once at the pad) but that the FAA's pending approval is the only bottleneck being waited on for launch.

"Rationally"? You mentioned you had all sorts of nice experiences with homeless people and then one bad actor caused you to choose out of all of the attributes of this person, their lack of a home, to be the one for you to blanket

You may be interested in Ada coin. It uses a "proof of stake" algorithm instead which does not rely on processing power. Virtually infinitely more eco-friendly.

It's akin to the feeling I've gotten from unsettling realizations during psychedelic trips. Beautiful and humbling.
