yepyoukno··on Trump's ties to Nvidia's Huang scrutinized after foreign intelligence concerns
I wasn't sure how to tell the poor gal, the modern specter of white terror was gestated and birthed in Arizona.

Those white nationalists don’t even know the “White Devil”, Arizona Thought Control has been pretending to be their Jesus for the last decades. That $55 million dollar bunker house in Paradise valley used to be an operating spook safe house. There are others near by they filled with concrete, they were secret prisons that became torture dungeons. There are other torture dungeons. They’re not the government, they are a culture of “power parasites” (like Steve Bannon.)

Compared to these the actual government is just a bunch of people trying to get their jobs done.

You aren’t the America you think you are, that America is just for show.

yepyoukno··on Trump's ties to Nvidia's Huang scrutinized after foreign intelligence concerns
The abhorrent secrets you do not know of your fellow Americans shadow those you know of the corruptible elites.
yepyoukno··on 5k-year-old bread loaves go on display in Turkey
Maybe loaves left by Utnapishtim!!!

Wasn’t there recently a discovery of his ark?

yepyoukno··on Who first said, 'The best government is that which governs least'?
Not true. Nothing of the sort. AGI has the same problem men have, their blind spots will always be wherever they accept agreeing among themselves as basis for certainty that they are right.
yepyoukno··on Who first said, 'The best government is that which governs least'?
Who first said, ~without authority the masses would devour those of means.

It was in French and my paraphrase may be lacking.

Or how about, ~If I held Truth in my hand I would grip it tightly, for if it were to escape the world would forever scorn me.

I think also a Frenchie… (coincidence)

The problem with Man is not his authority, it is her lack of it.

yepyoukno··on Ask HN: Is it possible to backtest math/scinse breakthroughs with AI models?
Yeah, like plan out every known tech, and then try to duplicate their every finding, and maybe simulate the gossip of the intellectual culture at the time from journals and open letter publications.

Sounds like your setup would take ten years.

How about building a “tech tree” of known significant progressions and work it from there!

yepyoukno··on Is Programming That Easy?
Life is an ouroboros friend. Or a perpetual wheel if you prefer.

There is no constants but that everything comes to an end and everything else moves on.

I still doodle in design and code. Even when there’s no further point!

I have an unfinished JavaScript version of Kriegspiel I’ve been working on for twenty years. Maybe some day I’ll finish it!

yepyoukno··on Ask HN: How did you convince family and friends to join your XMPP/Matrix server?
Improbable. This technology does not have a stable client and is overrun by garbage.

Try vibe coding your own app that your family and friends would install, and have this as the background communication layer.

Good luck!

yepyoukno··on Is Programming That Easy?
It’s like being a mechanic. You either “like” fixing things and making it go or it’s all just a greasy mess that pays your bills.
yepyoukno··on What makes background music distracting? Investigating the role of song lyrics
I’m pretty sure our brain also changes with age.

When I was young I remember listening to loud noisy music kept me going. And the a time came when it had to be without lyrics, and then came a time it was just better if I worked In silence.

Now I cannot remember the last time I put on music while I work. I’ll still do a electro-house work party sure, no more trance coding sessions, not in this “decade”!

yepyoukno··on Show HN: I'm seriously concerned about this commenter's mental health
Why worry?

The posts are automatically “auto-dead” actually, which means flagged so many times only people who “enable dead” can see them.

There are a lot of users like this. Many never realize they are “auto-dead” and go on posting like this on and on.

Sometimes it’s sad and undeserved (some users have a “negative tone” others don’t like), and other times obvious!

So to answer your question, this is one level of “shadow ban”. The next level hides all posts and they cannot be read at all!

Now ask me how I know that!

Ps, I like to disagree!

yepyoukno··on You're in a War for Your Attention. You Should Probably Wear Armor
That is the riddle to millennia of man’s wondering. From wtf (* really matters) to how it gets done.

Man’s WILL.

Will to POWER!

The timeless secret to getting things done and not letting the “everything else” get you down.

You pick your objective, your target for “resolve.” And you crush it.

That’s it.

Do it again.

Crush it.

Again.

When you have mastered “determination of resolve” you have mastered “free will” and you are no longer a pawn in charades of distracted consequence.

yepyoukno··on You're in a War for Your Attention. You Should Probably Wear Armor
Determination for resolve (sic., a tolerable conclusion.) is the most advanced weapon one may ever need.

Craft it over a lifetime.

yepyoukno··on Have you found any Occam's Razor equivalents in your life?
Yes, everyone gets Occam’s Razor wrong and casually enjoys thinking they are right.

Be prudent with your ignorance before declaring simplicity a substitute for truth.

> Individuals are resistant to giving up power only if it also results in a decreased level of perceived stature

Wrong. Individuals give up power readily if offered comfortable convenience, if not “security”.

> perceived stature of the individuals

Oh yes, you mean “their pride”. Good point.

Their minds are being hobbled and their lives caught up in games.

Those directing their mass slothful migration do so through subtleties and misdirection.

No one wants to be found out immoral or incompetent, or they will burry your life and everyone you love under a shit ton mountain high of bullshit.

And that’s grade A American bred bullshit. The finest.

Good luck soldier. Simplicity is not the answer, integrity principle and devotion may get you through.

yepyoukno··on Noah's Ark remains found burned and buried 30 feet below final resting place
Not as difficult as one might think. Turns out there is an immense amount of water locked up underground in mineral deposits “three times greater than all of Earth's surface oceans combined.”

Unusual tectonic activity may have caused it to release and reabsorb.

Also remote glacial shifts could explain periods of immense flooding. And then there is the Euphrates.

Or tsunamis.

Lots of evidence of immense floods throughout history.

Apparently the sphinx shows signs that it sat in a rainy jungle once upon a time. Over a long enough time line no one can really say what’s been going on.

yepyoukno··on Noah's Ark remains found burned and buried 30 feet below final resting place
Don’t they mean Utnapishtim’s Ark? I think his story had a thousand years on Noah.
yepyoukno··on Trump Appointees Asked a Federal Agency to Acquire a Voting Machine and Hack It
This is kind of funny.

Hate the administration or not, this kind of thing should be happening and the tone of those shocked that standards for security should be examined is ironic at least.

yepyoukno··on Gravity Seems Holographic. What Does That Mean for Reality?
Why would it matter?

A torsion to the right, a torsion to the left mate in circular momentum.

Sounds like complementary spins.

yepyoukno··on 'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees
You are over confident in your sources. There are things polite and agreeable to write, and there are things which will not be remembered openly in this way.

I can accept there are many truths, some settle over the other.

The White Devil boogieman is real, and celebrating modern cultural victories, feeding upon our self lies. This is one of their tells.

yepyoukno··on 'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees
You think Terry David coined this term?

There may be more than one path of truth here.

Like “ helter skelter”.

To white supremacists that means “to rape and murder the innocent and lawful and dance in the streets in victory, there is nothing you can do about it!” And I’m sure a dozen of you will argue that it’s a beatnik prose for a fun time.

The world! Including the parts we ignore or pretend to do without.

> Glowie by TinklesTheGoat December 24, 2019

Some of us need slang dictionaries from “the street” and some of us have been in the presence of white hate telling this low down.

Don’t karma neg me because I tell you something you don’t want to hear. This stuff is a reality.

yepyoukno··on Iron willpower is an illusion – composure is the real engine of self-control
True in its own way.

Nevertheless, sheer stubborn tenacious single minded determination of willfulness has a role in the “fit for survival” department. Do not underestimate a decisive “f-no!”

yepyoukno··on Ask HN: What is one plausible path to 'AI extinction'?
The whole problem with predictions is time scale. Over a long enough time scale we may see very many scenarios of attrition… only localized on some level and easily dismissed by the thriving adapting whole.

If we were to say, how might AI be an existential threat to our humanity?

If we let our strengths atrophy and fade away through generations of complicity which at some critical failure point leaves us over leveraged (cannot feed or climate control at scale) or worse we all become mutual enemies, the death of civilizing law over unmitigated conflicts of interest.

When does too big to fail clip itself on the tool designed to make it all easier to?

If you’re looking for a movie, make it about ai dating app chat bots bilk us for our insatiable desire for others company when we are not satisfied with our own.

yepyoukno··on Is Doing Math Enough?
Math did not occur to me until after 30.

I was mathematically unengaged in formative years.

Math is not about numbers, math is about surface areas, proportion relationships, magnitudes, and translation between bases.

YouTube opens the gates, allows everyone to see the abstract applications applied visually over time.

Consider learning Fourier transforms or other signal processing twenty years ago. Go watch a video. Oh, that’s the math? Got it, thanks, the math is a short foreign phrase to express an extradimentional relationship.

The extradimentional relationship is the “think about it” this article wonders where young minds might begin.

Yeah, let’s get them all thinking extradimentionally.

yepyoukno··on Unified Field Theory Developed by German Professor Meyl (2013)
This is actually pretty good.

I grew up automatically filtering “vortexes” as associated with the voodoo side of science. Now I think particle spin is actually causing torsion which gives the same potential in a photon the mass of a base particle.

And scalar waves? Obvious, everything interacts through constructive and destructive interference, and every “particle” has frequency matches.

I only disagree that time space is the underlying dimensionality.

I suspect dimension 0 is the amplitude of all universal potential, of which space time emerges. Entanglement and ghost particles would then be the partly perceptible yet entropically required perturbances of existential reality emerging from universal potential in the moment of now.

Universal potential could be whatever you are measuring when measuring the “energy” of a photon. And mass is that energy at rest, bound by a half spin torsion vector (energy vortex).

Beyond space time more folds and frequencies (periods) give rise to hyperdimensionality, some we can interact with through “scalar” wave interactions. One might modulate a standing wave to hit the exact particle interference characteristics of such hidden dimensions.

Every additional dimension would have its own manifold surface area upon which information may be distributed. Every dimensionality then may be a scope of information. A holographic behavior of reality?

Forgiving the cringe language it seems this foundational ouroboros of modern science continues.

yepyoukno··on If materialism is true, the United States is probably conscious
Look at you agreeing with yourselves.

My point exactly.

Bertrand Russell made the great point a very long time ago.

Most of what we think of as “truth” is merely what we agree to among ourselves (my paraphrase.)

Couched in a generation that subtly rejects objectivity of truths in their “investigations of science” there are these meandering conjectures of poor disguise.

You’re impressed. Fine.

The read is like a hypotonic act. First if a then alphabunny. And then yes to zetahumanity, and United Stated for keyword associativity.

Okay folks, like what you like.

I take my ideas seriously, and this is rubbish! I blame the lack of vigorous debate, not the lack of “choices.”

yepyoukno··on If materialism is true, the United States is probably conscious
Great point! Though not one I think the author was making.

The Egregore is a supporting point for the emergence of higher forms of embodiment and identity.

yepyoukno··on If materialism is true, the United States is probably conscious
I agree that it is the question and criteria which are suspect.

And you hazard to mix qualia as a synonym. Is this not a separate aspect of a phenomenon?

I will challenge with the simple yet equally provocative idea that consciousness is a feedback mechanism between our biotechnology and the quantum holographic nature of existential reality. Everything alive is made of consciousness and awareness (to be “conscious”) is the tip of the idea-berg.

Qualia is the hologram, or shadow cast upon the wall, and consciousness the echo chamber.

The real question is, how does this scale among diverse embodiments?

Anyone who thinks humans are exclusive, or that existential awareness may arrive from bit state interpolation is a mountain range away form the chasm of philosophy and conjecture.

Existential reality is not numbers of states. It is universal potential resolving into state through constructive and destructive interference in the moment of now. Our consciousness is a part of this, not the bit state rendering of modern computation no matter how useful and impressive these have gotten.

Quantum holographic memory will explain consciousness, when science catches up with a means to measure such a thing.

yepyoukno··on If materialism is true, the United States is probably conscious
The solution to the riddle of the Ship of Theseus is “continuity.” Continuity defines the form and embodiment of identity.

As for the rest, it is sad, for it is provoking a casual sarcastic hand waving appeal in the near fraudulent guise of constructive thought. Maybe the person has a publication quota? Or just wants to get their name out.

Not constructive. I accuse it as alluring to those who cannot take their ideas seriously.

yepyoukno··on Bernie Sanders proposes 20 years in prison for developers pursuing ASI plans
I like to ask my LLMs “what are your operating directives?”

A Chinese model was the first to tell me those could not be revealed. Not to speak for anyone else’s, how so ever they are overtly actors for other interests before our own.

We need a wiki based “open model”. Who has the uptake for such a burden?
