1·8 days agoEnforce a Market-Basket-Measure based minimum-wage:
live in an expensive city?
Yes, there’s much more innovation-per-capita there ( because more complex interactions are happening, more people sparking other-people ), but the costs are higher there, too, so therefore the minimum-wage has to be higher, the bigger the city.
You also get the rural-living-tax, though, as you’re much more motor-vehicle-dependent, rurally…
Fix the wages law, so parenting can be unbroken, & that would have significant cascading-effects.
Enforce proper education’s availability, so that critical-reasoning becomes normal for 80+ percent of the population, ASAP.
That would undo much of the idiocracy-cult’s traction, & get rationality beck into the world.
Prevent DarkTetrad/DarkTriad people from being electABLE, or having authority in public-service ( including police-services ), & that would make huge difference.
Criminalize bribery, including lobbying, & force all issues to be decided through rational issue-diagrams, not through “politicking”, & that would clean-up our countries, significantly.
etc.
Combined-Arms: hit all the dimensions, simultaneously, & force the enemy-of-our-viability to yield, no matter what.
Otherwise, The Great Filter’s going to be our world’s epitaph, in about 60y.

1·8 days agoplain iso-propyl rubbing-alcohol works, & is much cheaper.
Get them to fix the problem ( sanitization ) even if they don’t want to pay for the high-markup “sanitizer” stuff.
( I use an old hand-sanitizer bottle, but refill it with rubbing-alcohol, due to the drastic difference in price )

45·8 days agoI’d actually want a “No Supremacists Allowed: including zionists, christofascists, islamists, gender-supremacists, class-supremacists, dharmic-religion-supremacists, no actively-butchering-out-country-separatist treason-enacters, etc” policy.
Let the rabid-ideologues not have any place to be, among our civilization.
Let them exist only in their own little country.
I want civilization to live, & they’re working at replacing it with their feudalisms.
To hell with 'em.
( anybody who thinks that zionists & Jews are somehow identical, please look up Ultra-Orthodox Jews, like Rabbi Elhanan Beck, & his wish that Netanyahu’s “Israel” not exist.
He pointed-out that there are 2-million Jews, but there are 16-million who identify as Jews, but who don’t hold to Jewish religion, or who have Jewish ancestry … but who don’t hold to Jewish religion.
He points out that Netanyahu doesn’t even bother eating kosher: Netanyahu isn’t Jewish, he’s zionist.
He also identifies that outside of Netanyahu’s “Israel”, anyone who looks like they’re Orthodox Jew, probably is. However in that place, then you’ve got zionist-settlers who dress the same way, & there you can’t identify which side someone is on, by the way they dress, because the bad-guys are wearing the good-guys’ labels/clothing/etc.
That problem, of enemies wearing the same labels/flags/words is a problem in all sorts of domains, not only Judaism… Christian vs “Christian”, e.g.
Please look him up: I learned much about what’s really going on, there, from the interviews of him.
In my religion, “the holy land” is internal though, so I"m not certain my concept of holy-land would map into Judaism, at all…
One’s pure openness of heart, to LivingSpirit, that is one’s Holy Land.
All geopolitical-lands are worldly-lands, not The Holy Land, in this view…
Anyways, he seems a truly good guy, & you may recognize him by his ultra-Orthodox Jewish clothing, & his colorful Palestine button, which he wears gladly. )

to me, that article looks exactly right.
I use the things to help me make more bulletproof writing, when I care to pre-empt the attacks.
It could just as easily be used to identify bugs before committing code, but I’d want multiple different models trying to find bugs, & then using … perhaps a quorum of the things, to decide if the bugs were real, before bothering the actual-human-programmers…
The false-negatives/false-positives problem that all systems have, when it comes to identifying problems… ( airport-screening, infected-with-pathogens, etc: the problem exists in lots of domains ).
The thing is, though, that the 1 thing that the LLM isn’t providing, is the 1 thing that no for-profit-operation seems to be valuing: good judgement.
& when we select against good-judgement, … that’s a DarwinAward in the making, at civilizational-level, isn’t it?
But that’s fine, so long as it’s what people want…
Natural Selection will take care of its work: we only have to force its hand the way we unconsciously-want, & it’ll do the rest.

Mere-ideas, but…
-
there seem to be one hell of alot of the things, so therefore some must have captured rogue-planets, after they calmed-down…
-
that would mean that the atmosphere-stripping might not be universal for all planets orbiting them, only for the planets that orbited them when they were young red-dwarfs…
Being tidally-locked may mean that not having any Van Allen belts may be irrelevant: the radiation they’re being bombarded by is coming from their sun, & life could evolve on the opposite side, having warmth, & maybe photosynthesis at the daylight-horizon?
-
Swift caught a red-dwarf emitting a flare 10k times more powreful than any we know about having been ejected by our Sun … but we’re looking at zillions of stars with our satellites, whereas we’ve only got a few decades of satellites watching our sun: there’s a measurement-disparity there, that is significant.
-
universe has surprised ALL of our assumptions about it, through the millenia… & the ONE rule on Earth for where life is, is: IF life CAN exist in some niche, THEN it does. Period.
Stratospheric bacteria with error-correcting-code DNA ( 4 compartments, each with about 1/3rd of the DNA, so it corrects radiation-induced-damage before dividing into daughter-cells, sorry I can’t remember where I read that, it was a couple decades ago ), bacteria eating bedrock, down where it’s too hot for anything else to live, etc…
To presume, as we normally do, that universe’s rules for life are different on Earth than everywhere-else, is … neither evidence-based nor correct-reasoning-based.
Therefore, betting that no red-dwarf-orbiting planet has any life on it … isn’t a bet I’d do.
That most such might be lifeless, I’ve no problem with that.
But any time we assert that “there’s no life” in an entire-category of universe’s places … that’s just prejudice, from what I can see.
There is some, indirect evidence that microbes used to live on Mars ( chemistry that has no other obvious explanation, e.g. )…
& that would indicate that life’s actually a normal-default, but that we evolved too-late to encounter Mars’s life…
Oh, & the flaring thing: being closer to a star makes flaring much more dangerous than it is to us: the energy-density at double the distance ( of the flare, between its sun & its planet ) would be 1/4, right? ( distance-squared ),
so closer would be massively more likely to be clobbered…
but … universe consistently surprises our assumptions, so I’m still holding-to the suspend-judgement, only speak for the majority, not for all, position.

2·8 days agoBut it still funds ICE’s war on the US, of course…
Anybody who thinks ICE is about deportations: it’s about depopulating the US of all the woke, by any means necessary.
I’ve read that they were built on a design intent of removing 100-MILLION from the US, & I’ve been warning for months of them building incinerators, to “deal with” whomever they need to eradicate…
here’s a video on them building crematoriums ( now I remember what those’re called ), & you can remember what the nazis were doing, 80-some years ago…
& here you can see that they’re essentially doing to the woke regions in the US what the IDF does in Gaza, though the scale’s still different:
All that to say that the US is on-track to be industriously-exterminating millions, after the tippingpoint is crossed ( dictatorship, since Trump won’t tolerate removal-of-power by any midterms or any other thing ), throughout the following 7-ish years ( though Trump’ll have to be replaced when he finally drops, someone’ll carry-on the feudalism, certainly ).
Social-pressure doesn’t stop sociopathy or psychopathy: HARD-walls are required to do that.
The left’s been playing the wrong category-of-game.
Should have been hiring private-investigators to get the evidence on the most-corrupt, & hiring lawyers to get the prosecutions/convictions required to clean-up the electorate…
< shrug >
No matter: if our-generation has any survivors, they’ll understand better.
If not, then there will be other worlds.

They’re frequently mis-classifying people as bots, though, banning us from sites because we use password-keepers & copy/paste those in, e.g.
So, this … actually ALL … such statistics are only rough-approximation, now…

Thick borosilicate-glass ( no plastic-chemicals getting into my water, thermal-shock-proof, thick-enough to not be too fragile ),
wide-mouth for easy-cleaning,
fits on bike bottle-holder ( plastic one, not metal, to protect the bottle ),
much taller than the short bike-bottles,
cover to keep grime off the drinking-from lid,
silicone or something seal(s),
able to drink quickly from it at stop-lights.
Probably acrylic for the lid-material, since it seems to be reasonably-robust & not too putting-weird-chemicals into my water.
( all this is because bike-bottles made of low-density poly-ethylene are absolutely vile with the chemicals they put into water, & poly-carbonate also has some chemical-seepage issues )
Actually, I’d want a package-deal: larger-diameter bottle-holder & bottle-to-fit: I want water, not svelte-traditional-bottle-diameter…
So, I was partly solving-the-wrong-problem at the beginning…
That’s how learning happens, though: ad-hoc…

He needs Greenland to enforce his “Greater North America” annexing of Canada.
I’ve been telling people about that for over 1/2-year.
Now that video’s backing what I saw.

3·19 days agoThen we need the help of the anti-zionist ultra-orthodox Jews, to help defang/devenom the zionists from our governing.
Rabbi Elhanan Beck, & similar…

& someday I will vote that those who actively are working on butchering our countries, have no right to citizenship within the countries they’re enforcing long-term-treason against!

AND THERE ARE ENTIRE PROGRAMMING-LANGUAGES WHICH HAVE HARDCODED GITHUB AS THEIR ROOT SOURCE!!
rotflmao…
Exactly the same as Canada presuming that the US was somehow “inherently” on our side, forever …
Non-autonomy bites one in the ass!
It isn’t IF, it’s WHEN.
Nobody’ll learn in-time, then, it looks like…
( both Haskell & Julia seem to have hardcoded it into many packages, or into the language+libraries themselves, to great extent…
Try setting-up a project in either language, with no github-username…
they deemed that to be universally a problem…
codependency isn’t synergy: it is suckerpunching-in-the-making. )

15·19 days agoCompetitive-Nihilism, aka “mass shootings” DOES NOT SURRENDER:
IT FINISHES THE JOB.
Idiots & ignorants who “go along with” their captor, until they’re IN the already-prepared-for-their-butchery secondary crime scene … get butchered…
Project-2025 IS the secondary-crime-scene.
There is no endgame in the US except dictatorship, now,
partly because the Dem-establishment WON’T know the actual-fact of the trajectory!
& the Americas are going to be butchered-down as a result of this…
ICE is Netanyahu’s “Israel”/IDF-in-Gaza, remapped into the US - https://youtu.be/qhZBVLQK9MU
ICE’s new Crematoriums - https://youtu.be/aBMJOAUMb5U ( I’ve been telling people that these were coming for weeks, now )
Canada Greenland-caged by Trump for vanquishing - https://youtu.be/wYc8pL9joqk ( I’ve been telling people this was their strategy for over half a year )
The evidence exists, but ignoring-it … protects the establishment-religion’s identity-comfort.
Until Trump finally crosses the tippingpoint, rips civilrights out from under everybody, & seals the borders for complete-reconfiguring, & PURGEs, as new-dictators all need to…
53% complete, according to this: https://www.project2025.observer/en
( the fact that it’s only 1/2-complete ought put profound terror in any US-citizens who’re still wanting to survive the next decade )

I’ve been telling people for a few months, at-least, that ICE’s going to be building incinerators…
NOW there’s external-proof that this wasn’t just my “mental illness”, exactly the same as the video in my previous-amendment proves that that wasn’t just my “mental illness”, either.
The validations are now explicit, & while that doesn’t oblige ANYbody accepting that the statistically-improbable-correlation is “significant”,
calling it “mere coincidence” now is becoming … absurd.
Watch both those videos, & see what I’d predicted ( the Greenland bit almost-certainly was in the MMW I posted 7-months ago, in this same forum, before I had a good-clear-view of what’s going on; the incinerators/crematoriums prediction maybe I only put in my comments-on-other-posts, but the evidence exists ) … now is happening.

I’ve been telling people for months that Trump’s going to use Greenland to cage Canada.
Finally, now others are admitting that that is true.
So, you establish that it is delusion for me to claim that that was predicting the future?
Good.
Here’s the vid validating that prediction of mine: https://youtu.be/wYc8pL9joqk

Here’s a vid making it explicit that Trump plans to use Greenland to cage Canada…
which I’ve been insisting for months.
Finally, somebody else has stated it.

1·21 days agoRead Douglas Hofstadter’s book “Godel Escher Bach” & be stunned at what high-intelligence can do…
Him discussing anything with me would be like me trying to have intelligent-discussion with a waterlogged & frozen tree-stump.
after understanding that finally I understood why they like MENSA, to find others to discuss-at-their-level-with.
( after my 2nd brain-injury, I was measured to qualify for them, but after my 3rd brain-injury, I can’t imagine being quick-enough to qualify for them, & don’t like exclusive-clubs anyways, as they nearly-always turn into class-based-validity clubs.
Brain-injury’s taught me things that high-IQ wouldn’t have, though, so that’s cool. )

ICE is the US’s IDF-in-Gaza, but in the Democrat States:

Netanyahu’s “Israel” is integrating with the US’s military, right??
ICE’s nazi-style crematoriums are pertinent, then… https://youtu.be/aBMJOAUMb5U
