louithethrid··on Psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression: fMRI-measured brain mechanisms [pdf]
Oh, so its all git-versioned, our brains just returns to the soup of what we came frame? No risks at all? Not a chance, that somebody could simply mistake a deactivated body experience/ out of body experience with a thinking universe?

There are two kind of science. One consists of incremental improvement research. Copying a master and then adding of additional perfection is the default method here. This one usually holds little risk and is prefered by companys and western governments alike.

Then there are the great leaps, usually possible due to breakthroughs or other wild recombination of existing ideas. These are feared- for as they offer bright rewards at the end of the road- they contain unknown problems, as in sub-problems that need often a combination of further break-throughs and/or incremental research. Fusion research is a great example here.

Some great leaps also turn into great very expensive wild goose chases.

Such risks make no buisness sense, but a central government can overcome the captialistic shortsigthedness - and attempt this research anyway and actually be better at it.

But if you can cheat (avoid risk) then cheat(avoid risk). Let others feed the crocodiles first - so chinese companys research will be as risk shy as western companys research.

What don't you understand about the _______ being evil? It has a globe spanning empire a secret ruling organisation. It imprisons democracy protestors. It vannishes its leadership critics. It floods the atmosphere with C02, and wages war for ressources. It acts like a crybaby whenever a dictator trys to wriggle out of its totalitarian rule by building a nuke. It acts like a bully against all of its neighbors. It gives its poor neighbors trade agreements and then takes foreign citizens rights when they actually live democracy. It sends its data-fishermans around the world and buys up any meaningfull competition to silicon vally life. It floods the world with shoddy products and destroys their community, jobs, and well beings.

At least cheating allows to fullfill the diversity quota.

louithethrid··on A possible "Planet Nine" in Earth's solar system would orbit far beyond Neptune
What if planet nine is a dense cloud of neptune like moons, circling one another?
louithethrid··on Handmade Hero – A complete game live-coded from scratch
You cant fake this- this is heart, soul and spouse sacrificed to teach the world how to make games. I guess if you cant feel that passion for something -it must be kind of scary.

I can not throw a basketball into the hoop - and if it would save my life. Now i could downplay all the NBA players, calling it a "nice hobby", a gimick to sell shoes. Or just admit with a nod of acknowledgment- that i will never be this good. Literally cant be. And its okay.

louithethrid··on Are rich people meaner? Two teams find errors in each other’s work
Got to be a cuckoobird- pretending to be a team-player, placing all those eggs, in foreign baskets.
louithethrid··on An anarchist takes on Big Pharma by teaching patients to make their own meds
The day anyone can get dna-programmable yeast and a reactor to grow it- big pharma is goone. What a nice woody sort of word.

.. the next day, my boss called- and he had the exact same problem, so i used the script, so its a tool at our company now, and several collagues added to it.

Open the Git Repository. Eyes glaze over. Just like the Robotsourcecode, you get to see every day, if you work in automation. Close the Git Repository.

Dear Author, at least you know while and for.. it can be worser.

Not seeing the problem doesent prevent it from beeing there. Security by obscurity has a track record of not working.

louithethrid··on Ask HN: What non-work task have you automated?
Imagine two Neural Nets trained by husband and wife to do the usual conversations. Now add a solarcell and a speaker- and some noise generator for starters on a gravestone- and long after the couple is gone, the beloved ones arguing goes on.

This is brilliant! No, it is not, this is one of your worser ideas. Oh, Madam is constructive again today. You want me to say my true opion or not.. This is how you always swing that- no matter how rude - its freedom of expression in danger.

louithethrid··on Dear Silicon Valley: America’s fallen out of love with you
Its so much easier to swing your remaining power at the competitor, then to truely innovate and fight.
louithethrid··on How Science Makes “Rick and Morty” Great
I think the true selling point of R & M is that the plot defies expectations, not by simply going to the contrary but by turning left of the hero road, following a insane idea and sticking to it until the trophe falls apart and something i call messy realism appears. What would happen if you hang around the borg? Oh, turns out the hivemind is people too. And so on, and so forth.

Rick and Morty is "just" great Tv showing how much on rails all the other plots in all the other shows usually are. My problem is, that i think the show has no overall arc - and that they desperatly will try to glue one together.

louithethrid··on Teens 'rebelling against social media', say headteachers
We are a whole society unravelling, because we did the Icarus and flew to high.

Men retreating back into electronice dreams of the purposes of the past. Woman, errecting warped social pagodas to enforce freedom and basic income contracts against the building backlash.

Beeing mentally ill, as in unable to adjust to this, is the new normal. The only people well adapted to our circumstances, are drug addicted, no life work-aholics and ironically they are the group to force its standards down humanitys throat.

I guess that never appeared in anyones singularity vision- that the species as a whole could step away from its invention, smash it all to bits and errect some codex hamurabi with just one rule:

"You shall not wrap thy fellow man in machinery."

Today washington would be a little crater with horse remains and some drone circling above.
louithethrid··on Judge Recommends ISP and Search Engine Blocking of Sci-Hub in the US
Yeah, wanting something for your tax talers - who could even contemplate something like this- that would be like a normal buisness relationship with a government.

Sounds evil and twisted to me.

louithethrid··on How the Elderly Lose Their Rights
Nothing warms the heart, after a family reunited after a diaper-change avoidance drama is resolved by finding a common hobby - such as collecting little pictures of former presidents.
louithethrid··on How the Elderly Lose Their Rights
God im so angry on how they basically evicted the old man and his wife. I might be finally able to contemplate why having a gun as final defense against such lawfull robberys is a good option.

This type of behaviour can happen at insolvencys in germany too. If you get a corrupt insolvency-manager, he will ride the remains of your company (even if it could be saved) into countless law battles with creditors - where the insolvency managers firm is the defending party of the company its managing. This can go on until the company-corpse is sucked dry.

louithethrid··on ‘Daily Stormer’ Termination Haunts Cloudflare in Online Piracy Case
I consider the discussion of fruit, that can be shaped like human genitalia a insult to my religion. Thus i demand, the bannishment of cooking recipes from the internet, to protect the worlds morals.

Who are you to judge my religion and culture wrong and vane?

louithethrid··on ‘Daily Stormer’ Termination Haunts Cloudflare in Online Piracy Case
And deep down everyone has that feeling, that his gut feelings should be the judge of that.

The problem starts, when people project there wish to control the lives of others upon some vague enough person as power.

louithethrid··on Wozniak and Copps: Ending net neutrality will end the Internet as we know it
What we need is a undercover police unit, that is allowed to inpersonate any cooperate persona and trying to bribe politicians. If caught in the act- the career of both sides end instantly.
louithethrid··on Basic income is just the beginning as Finland looks to citizen-driven governance
We are medieval creatures, we long for a purpose, no matter how small, no matter how trivial. If the machines take the purpose, all the fruit-baskets in the world wont fill that hole.

Yeah, but that guy rather wants you replaced with a robot.
louithethrid··on How do I get my son or daughter interested in computer programming?
Make it a part of the famil prank tradition, to boobytrap Alexa and the likes with cusotm code. In oder to get "back" on you- they need to learn this.
louithethrid··on Paint.net is now available on the Windows Store
I assume on limited connections, it will never sync, meaning if you use a latop tethered to your cell-phone, you will see the windows-appstore of 1984. (any old date would have done, but this one rhymed)
