Finamp is slowly getting there, still miles to go though…

I asked my Aunt for R.E.M. at the height of their popularity. She gave me an old REO speedwagon album that had none of their hits on them. All in all, that’s the worst, so i’ve done very well.

Ideally, I wouldn’t have to see the proofs for everything, just recognize the observable math.

The problem with the “This statement is false” could simply be coupled by something akin to imaginary numbers. Paradoxes can be described mathematically without being solvable.

Honestly finding out the lack of free will exists would be the most liberating thing ever. I could just let autopilot take its course.

or even I have to do something I’d rather not

What works for me for this: A soundtrack. Back in the day, I used to bike every weekend. I hated exercise but realized I had to do it. I started collecting fast, powerful tracks, found what made me focus rather than go into daydreaming. I slowly over the weeks, months and years, kept at the same soundtrack. Now, when there’s busy work, or shit work, or pain i need to endure, i throw an earbud in and i’m back on the long ass boring trail, just focusing on whatever bullshit i need to do.

Doesn’t work well if I need to do something creative, but cleaning and grass cutting, it’s like a switch to turn off my “god i ate this” switch.

Our ideas are always good to us, but they’re highly informed based on our own experiences and needs.

I had a neighbor who asked me to help them create some form of device that sits on the dashboard of their car and catalog billboards. Apparently, a hole in their life was passing by a billboard with kids in the car and forgetting what exit the food/restaurant was on.

This was in an era where cell phones and online maps/search existed.

I had another acquaintance (decades ago) who wanted me to work on a photography simulator in which you had to manipulate people in 3D to compose a picture. I tried to explain the high level of difficulty and the cost per unit being so high that no one would be willing to pay for it. They pushed me until I did some napkin match on arists/developer/marketing costs then they got all pissed off at me because it came in conservatively north of 300k.

I suspect it’ll be the other way around.

Our brains must be augmented with tech first, then uploads are trivial.

Start with a calculator, learn how to manipulate it and read it like proprioception. At some point we have an LLM on a chip in our head and updates to that update our consiousness.

I want the entirety of mathematics indellably etched into my mental model. I want to see the math behind everything in reality the way Neo saw the matrix code in the walls of the grubby apartment buildings.

police force wouldn’t lie

Absolutely corruptible. That lie wouldn’t even be expensive. Company puts in a call to execs running the police, they say how they want it to go down, make promises for money/power/favor, trickles down through the ranks.

massive legal backlash if the company disclosed false info

The feds didn’t even pay the reward and there was no backlash. We don’t get together well and protest over things that don’t affect us individually. Even the left is shit at it. We expect them to lie. If someone produces proof he was with them, they’ll just plain plausible deniability or individual incompetence.

Corporations own our political landscape on both sides. The judges, the police, everyone is running with a level of autonomy, wiggle room as you will, but when they need a narrative fed, it’s easy. Only 60% of us even believe the truth, feeding a few lies is simple.

The manifesto they found on him was completely innocuous. What people are talking about that you consider might be fake is his online post history of the years on several platforms. no way they backfilled several services for that.

Every family without a gigantic kitchen has that drawer.

I have the contents of that drawer in about 4 drawers and 2 cabinets. I have so many cabinets, I don’t even have things in some of them and I have instant pots, a tortilla maker and sourdough proofing tools

However, I do have an oversized drawer that has a l lot of stuff in there like the funnels and tenderizer, but it has no sharps in it, and no scale.

Our 85 Thunderbird used to blink a set of numbers out. But you still had to have some type of information to make use of it

We could have had readable diagnostics since they started showing multiple items on the in-dash LCDs. It’s always money.

I host searXNG this way

I use my own SSL keys, some amount of tracking is done by cloudflare but it’s not Google or Bing mining my search traffic at least

They didn’t ban it because it was dangerous or violent, They banned it because the anti-corporate and spez is a musk wanna be

Reddit was full of false outrage and fake stories long before GPT ever existed. Just the last few people that were willing to post have kind of wandered off. I think we got the best of them here

What all they said about the reset, also Amber light on a Dell could be anything out of the ordinary. Only have one out of two power supplies plugged in? Messed up network config, bad fan, missing discs, bad disc. You name it, it’ll throw amber.

If you really don’t want to reset it, throw it on a switch with another device and run Wireshark, You’ll see it’s a source IP while it’s looking for its long lost network. Course that’s still not likely to help you if you don’t have logins

I went from Fitbit to Withings, that Fitbit scale was nothing but pain. Every time my battery started getting low it would disconnect from Wi-Fi and I have to re pair it. It was inconsistent, If you pick it up and move it a foot to the left you get a completely different reading than if you just leave it where it sits. Because of the messed up fluctuations, It constantly identified the wrong person in the house.

Had the Withings scale for 4 years now and it’s just been fine.

My YouTube music app is able to see my Roku. Might be able to work something out there with a Roku stick.

Not OP, I’ve installed a little bit of all of them for work, every form factor and version seem to be stellar.

I installed a bunch of Enterprise 7s at work and they’re super fast, but approaching chonky in size. Honestly, I really like the in-wall HDs They cover most of my house
