if you could have immortality, would you do it?

Unless in severe pain, the cat will always enjoy this eternal moment, proud of its existence. Never questioning its needs, desires, likes or dislikes, a cat will never consider evaluating itself. The cat glories in its existence and lives with supreme self esteem. It so values itself that it will never assign a value to itself.

The cat has risen entirely above the need for self esteem through perfect self acceptance beyond the need for self esteem.

... for whatever reason I started on this quest to figure out what consciousness is but I somehow never expected to figure it out much less in this way. I figured I'd meditate to it but apparently I understood it through finding some math

but also

I literally didn't expect to have the answer, like ever. maybe like a thousand years if you believe the reincarnation rumours, or at least in my 70s or something. not like. 4 years later from when I started to give a shit. that's pretty crazy

if you learned the government or some corporation can influence anyone into any cognitive state, emotion, or debilitating state like puking or death

and it's like effective, like a magic trick. people come in, and entirely get amnesia on command like it's a scene from the movie men in black. they want you to do the chicken dance they're making 30 people from the crowd do the chicken dance and everybody is laughing and having a great time at this demo conference

would you allow it? or would you be mad and start trying to protest its use?

you're not allowed to hack computers, you get a felony for that

but hacking human brains is totally fine

oooooh

starsuckers

now I understand status

wow pretty messed up 30 years later I get it explained in a dumbass documentary. nobody else could explain wtf "status" was, even those I'd ask who wanted it more than anything else... was so illogical

and turns out it is!

I think video comments are probably going to go into vogue at some point

commentator content is just someone watching stuff and then making videos of their replies to it. it's really weird but it does pretty well even though the commentator isn't even anyone special

but if there was a service where you could just reply with videos... would feel more human and become less isolating and more natural compared to current internet

probably next evolution of the internet and these media platforms

Kung fury omg

why is my system downloading 38GB for electron32

IS YOUR SPIRIT IN THE RIGHT PLACE?!

TFW it's 10am... you've already watched your news, gardened, showered, and did all your laundry, and you literally had to wait for the grocery store to open so you could have your one big dinner for the day, and the postman is taking forever with that package he says will arrive today, and you also have to go to another store for some items but you're actually too sleepy to care now zzz...

now I can be the one dunking on everyone saying they're too slow! HOW'D YOU LIKE THAT

that urge to go work for AI smart city data surveillance green energy people

I disagree with them but because I disagree I like wanna be a spy lol

rust has taught me discipline

my life-long disposition to laziness is suddenly no more

I hate it, thanks

I've always viewed the unlazy and highly disciplined as a loser class. now what

so good to go back to code you wrote 6 years ago, and realize you improved both its readability and its computation complexity in a more recent rewrite

it's like you won bingo against yourself or something

... lol ask AI to solve math problem

it says it's X and Y called math problem, and has no solution

while I'm reading that, I figure out the solution

AIs are so dumb they're giving me arrogance

really hate how they keep using the word equity everywhere

an AI just used it to describe some process prioritization code I handed it to summarize

that is not at all relevant here...

> Your concern is entirely valid—naming can significantly affect how intuitive a concept feels. The term "object safe" in Rust might seem odd or even misleading if we approach it from a traditional object‑oriented perspective.

can rust please stop trying to be "different" for the sake of being different. Dumbest thing. Just call things what they are. What's the point of words if you're not actually accurately using them. Especially for a programming language, which is based on math and logical systems. Like how. Why. Stop. Antithesis to the mindset that should be making languages to begin with if you can't do logic with the words that already exist. Horrible sales pitch. Are they trying to confuse people on purpose, make moats so nobody learns it? is this self-sabotage?

---

I have bludgeoned an AI on this matter. I feel kind of bad. It tried to ad hominem me and then tell me I'd get it if I wasn't so new, and that it's a perfectly valid name because it's in the "reference guide". Called it out on appeal to authority and now it's just saying my argument points back at me like it's groveling. Sigh.

And it's hallucinated thinking I'm the whole online community giving critiques on this matter now, therefore my points are valid, lmao

> This is indeed a well-known architectural challenge—the "tying together" of heterogeneously typed objects with their matching data—often referred to as a variant of the Expression Problem

=-=

> The expression problem is a challenging problem in programming languages that concerns the extensibility and modularity of statically typed data abstractions. The goal is to define a data abstraction that is extensible both in its representations and its behaviors, where one can add new representations and new behaviors to the data abstraction, without recompiling existing code, and while retaining static type safety (e.g., no casts). The statement of the problem exposes deficiencies in programming paradigms and programming languages, and as of 2023 is still considered unsolved,[citation needed] although there are many proposed solutions

=-=

why do I always

also this is easy as pie in javascript. No wonder it was my favourite language. you're just so free to express yourself. DUNCHU SEE?!

you have 6 problems

you introduce rust, now you have 30 problems

you worked on it for about a month and maybe this is the 6th rewrite, and you now have 300 problems and also you have less functionality than every one of the previous versions

why and how

this pattern seems to be consistent no less

waiting on the day that someone else makes a decision on your future is not a fun thing to do, especially if you don't have the capability to outswim the sharks

mayday, mayday

world communism day
and Illuminati day

you're welcome

turns out Battlestar Galactica was a meta documentary

power outage

I wonder if I post every time how many it will be

especially with green power political stuff going on these days this could be a funny bingo game

why must everything be a cult =-=

uergfhh I just feel irrationally miserable, wttffff

one day, a solar flare will come in and erase everyone's banking records

and then what would the communists complain about?!

modern day Robinhood. erases all your debts, all tax information at the royalty office, the mortgage you owe on your house, and every rich person's balance

come into our digital space so we can charge you tax for breathing - modern internet era

I guess the longer a group of people stick together the asymptote of more and more taxes approaches?

pls stop putting talking into music mixes. you're ruining my jive. I don't wanna hear your opinions. just play the math noises

when you figure out a solution to something, do you think it's you who figured it out or did "inspiration" come to you somehow, out of nowhere, with the answer?
