amazing. you get an order in your shopify shop. shopify warns you that the paid amount may be charged back (i.e. "this could be fraud"). you want to cancel the order on the buyers behalf. you still have to pay for their credit card fees.
this is how the sausage is made.

2024-07-18 21:07:58

implicative logic is confusing. P -> Q holds if P is false? wut
and logically Q must also be false
the ternary becomes (Q -> P) AND (!Q -> R)

2024-07-05 07:34:33

biden definitely has dementia. i unfortunately recognize the signs. but i'm fairly sure the president's staff does 95% of the hard work. the "strong leader" has been a myth anyway. since the 90s at least, presidential decisions on the dem side have been guided by focus groups. and thanks for that! the romanticization of boneheadedness has done us all no favors.

2024-07-03 14:59:26

"no politics" is the perfect non sequitur
e.g. *whacks the croissant off your breakfast plate* "i said NO POLITICS!"
makes you wonder what this is about. is it because the croissant is french? does this relate to the french not wanting to co-invade iraq in 2003? or is it because the croissant looks both like two dicks and the horns of satan, and thus promotes homosexuality? or is it due to the flagrant use of butter in the recipe, alluding to Jim Field Smith’s butter-carving satire Butter?

if you're feeling powerless, and you think only social organization and activism is gonna help (and perhaps quietly wondering if even this may be a futile endeavor):
there is, i think, at this point enough proof that you do not need to be at the top of some kind of social hierarchy to bring about social change. heck, ask yourself if the change you want is even truly social.
only military organizations believe in hierarchy. our world is a network, and you can pull its strings from anywhere.

it appears to me the cybernetic principle "the purpose of a system is what it does" is contemporaneously misused to paranoidly imply that bad outcomes are the result of conspiratorial four-dimensional chess moves, as if *someone* out there knew what they were doing.
but "the purpose of a system is what it does" is only meaningful as a response to someone believing more in intent and design of a system rather than its actual performance and emergent manifestations.

3000 years ago, in ancient tibet
monk 1: so what sort of terpenes should this new medicinal plant have that we're breeding?
monk 2: yes.
monk 1: i mean what curing smells are we after? sweet? sour? peppery? minty? pungent? etheric? or plain stinky?
monk 2: again, yes.
monk 1: you're not helping! i'm asking agai-- oh. OOOH!

whole western world just angry that china beats them at capitalism. china is so capitalist, they don't even have an arbiting government anymore. it's just one big corp with lots of daughter corps, head to toe. china inc.
they took our USP and turned it to 11. i suppose we will now all have to become democratic socialists in protest.

transferring what we have learned about AI writing in the academic world:
the excessive presence of automation in a creative domain is always an indicator of staleness creeping in.
and when art culture has gotten so stale that a machine can indeed do an artists job (from the perspective of art consumers), then the entire culture needs fixing.
my prediction is that eventually, the same colors, faces, poses and style will satiate boredom & foster appetite for something that stirs the shit again

yak shaving has a stack structure.
a new problem that stops you from continuing the current problem requires you to put it aside and solve the new problem first. so you push it.
when the problem is solved, you pop it from the stack, and when your stack is deep enough, then remembering what came before is difficult.
thus; forget the todo-list. just write a linear todo-stack that only contains all tasks you are presently simultaneously solving, ordered by how they depend on one another.

horcrux encryption: split a document into several equal-sized documents that can only be decrypted by adding them all together per byte.
dorian gray encryption: subtract two equal-sized documents, a secret and a public one, to get a key that turns the public document into the secret one when horcruxed. the key can be split too.

The more I play deathloop the more I get the feeling that they really wanted the player to feel like bill murray's character at the end of groundhogs day: knowing exactly what happens any moment of the day because this single day has become his whole universe

@npub1y4h…t26u psychedelics. but these - any of them - should, at best, only be done once a week.
any daily dopamine related hack (which includes cannabis) can in the long term produce bounce back effects of fear, unrest and paranoia because the body starts dialing down its own dopamine production.
