So what if determinism is true? Does responsibility even make sense in an ultimate sense? And any meaning you give yourself is dependent upon past environmental history.

If the universe is infinitely large everything that can happen will happen, an infinite number of times.

I can't convince myself a religion is true no matter if it makes me feel good to believe in it. So effectively I end up with the correspondence theory of truth whether I like it or not.

But you must pay to use these APIs. They did give me $20 free trial though. You could make a bunch of accounts and abuse the free trial I guess. It must be cost effective for the scammers.

You can change up the prompt to change the writing style so spam filters will have trouble catching this new world of spam.

We used CO to kill mice in my lab. Concentrated CO, filling the chamber first with it. They would take two breaths and pass out, maybe twitch once or twice, and that was it.

If I had to die I’d like to go that way.

does the universe have a finite number of galaxies? We see the 'observable' universe. The universe is even larger than what we can see, but that light can never reach us.

After 25 years my dot emacs is _only_ 1000 lines.

I first used AHK for macros in games. The scripts can even read pixels on the screen, play sounds or beep, execute programs, send mouse click/events. And of course send keyboard keys.

It is great for automating things.

The answer, for me at least, is both. It has taken over 30 years to find a regime that works for my suicidal depression.

I play video games while I work out on a stationary bike. I don’t even feel tired while gaming.

This is what his colleague recommended. A cold wallet that is only worked with offline. It is on an encrypted file system and can be backed up. (passphrase protected)

I remember that Silk Road associated guy that was caught recently with 50000 BTC. I was wondering why he didn’t just encrypt his wallet?

There is no way crypto coin will work for society at large with such requirements.

I read that it just re-reads the discussion so far every time you submit. So it must hit a limit of what it can remember since they limit the amount of training tokens it can read for a submission.

They lose money on returns but just accept the loss since they still make money. It is harder on third party sellers.

I’m curious how this is implemented to work with all the different window systems without dependencies. edit: OK I looked at the source code, it does actually include the windowing system headers and use the base libraries.

I'm glad there are people not afraid to use the latest version of programming language features. I always try to use C++20 for new projects, but often the dependencies prevent me.

If you want to use the clipboard from cmdline you can also use

xclip (for Xorg)

wl-clipboard (for wayland)

and on macOS you can use the builtin commands: pbpaste pbcopy (see the man page)

These are what I’ve been using, but I might change now.

Yea I don’t get why people don’t just use != which is used in most programming languages…

The pathogen itself is being optimized to spread though. I think game theory still applies to natural selection in some sense.

I use rss2email + opensmtpd to email me my rss feeds from a virtual machine every hour. It is setup so I can see it on my home screen but not notifications so I can read at my leisure.

Google reader was such a great product. Why oh why did they get rid of it. I'm using rss2email + opensmtpd on a virtual machine to email me my rss to a special news email account. It updates every hour and sends me emails of my rss. I see it on my iphone home screen but not notifications so I can view them at my leisure.

It really bothered me when Google Reader went away. I always wondered why they did that??

I looked into this. Obsidian uses a proprietary license and is not open source.
