Remember, if you ever have unexplained back pain, it’s because you got all your men killed while storming the castle.

I told you guys I had a past life reading on Reddit once, right? Still not sure I believe it. I would like to be professionally regressed through hypnosis, but it’s not covered by my insurance.

One can give offense by getting some fiction wrong?

do you believe that death is the END?

 

[levi]

I don't know much about religions but I had this notion than some (hinduism???) had this notion of you reincarnating in higher or lower life forms depending on how well you used your life, with the end goal being reaching some kind of illumination or bodyless existence or something. I may be mixing concepts, no offense meant to anyone.

Sounds more like the indian concept of buddhism to me, but I'm not too familiar with hinduism myself.

So your soul can be recycled into something non-human.

Sure. Pick the author of fiction you most dislike. If I attributed their works to you, you might take offense.

I guess, in isolation my question asked for that to. In context though, it wasn't about crediting someone with somebody elses authorship. What I meant to be asking is:
If there's a possibility someone takes offense at you getting fiction wrong they've been fed and have accepted as universal truth, do you owe being considerate about it?
I think one owes consideration about oneselfe's confidence in the statement one's making and to phrase the statement accordingly. But that's owed to the receipients in general.

do you believe that death is the END?

I think it most likely, it's the end of and for those who reach it, if that's what your asking.

Oh man, I just watched a woman on the Jeff Mara Podcast who said she switched political parties over the fact that President Biden’s aura was black. She also said famine was coming. Pretty easy prediction to make, grocery prices are already up, wheat’s stopped coming out of the Ukraine, bird flu is killing poultry left and right. She did mention a new farming technique of planting different crops side by side was going to fail though. Hmmm…

There's some threshold somewhere about how much effort you should put in learning something before speaking about it. Even fiction.
I mean one possibly should not speak of Harry Potter's light sabre.
So, yes my apology was to any recipient, not to a particular religious group. But still, those who have put more effort into explaining their fiction might
be more frustrated than others at people who didn't understand it.

I think it most likely, it's the end of and for those who reach it, if that's what your asking.

Well, most directly yes, in first approximation. Then there's your offspring left, your work if any of it survives you, and your share of waste. Your share of your nuclear waste particulary may have a much longer halflife than you. (don't ask me what's a person halflife, that may get too philosophical with midlife crisis and all).

 

[JDTAY]

Oh man, I can’t find this part I wanted to review in the podcast I mentioned in my last post. She was talking about what the different aura colors mean and how people with similar auras hang out with each other. She did mention early on that the Earth’s aura was changing from red to black. Maybe it was around there?

do you believe that death is the END?

As a christian, it's just a pause (kill -STOP $person), until we all get resurrected (kill -CONT *) and then the eval() and sorting() happens.

evilly_sort(), you mean.

Are you sure our fabric of reality is not Object Oriented? So it would be: humanity.sort.by_evilness();
For example we have a grow_tail() which is overloaded to only initialize, but do nothing else. This way the coxis is there, to let muscle adhere to it, but we don't have a tail. And grow_leftarm() is overloaded in birds to let the fingers become very long and thin "pen".
In DNA we see the opposite. It's clearly a .tar.gz which is passed over many times to extract little bytecode "codon". But I always wondered why we have so many STOP codons. But if we look at computers, hey, those ALSO have lots of STOP markers: EOF, ETX, EOL, ETB, FF, etc.

Strangly, 6 bits (64 combinations) should be enough to make everyone...

I thought objectification was not politically correct.

Not quite. I understand DNA to be made out of pairs of molecules in four configurations (nucleotides), namely Adenine paired with Thynine and Gunanine paired with Cytosine and the reverse pairings. So that's four combinations so two bits per nucleotide, packed into a long string forming a chromosome, and a collection of those is a genome. So basically long strings of two bits describes a person, I'm just not sure if pairs beginning with adenine or whatever can be repeated in sequence, I think the simlest sequence I've seen is on pair next to it's revese, then back again. So a bit less than two bits repeated.

humanity.sort.by_evilness();

Nay, I first wrote evil_sort(), but recognized its ambiguity and corrected it to evilly_sort().

Yes, ATGC are the 4 bits, but in order to create something useful, say Lysine, you need AAA (three of them, forming a codon).
With computers, a 3.3 volt, a 2.9 volt are 1 and 0 volt, 1.6 volt are 0 and these are grouped together usually by 8, with 2 of these, "00 41" we have the letter "A" in Unicode. But we need a single one of those 8 to get an ASCII code.
So a "bit" in DNA is Adenine, and a "bit" in computers is just a given amount of voltage, with a high refresh rate which represents zero or one (or true/false).

We cal these Quaternary bits and Binary bits, respectively... but it's still a SINGLE bit (even if Quaternary), but to represent a Quaternary bit in Binary, you will indeed need more binary bits.v

So: 4 combinations grouped_by 3 = letter and 2 combinations grouped_by 8 is letter.


>I'm just not sure if pairs beginning with adenine or whatever can be repeated in sequence,
Yes they can. Any order is possible. They've even encoded video in DNA. See the CRISPR method on DDG for more details.

No, if you have four states that can be stored in two bits. I think and that wikipedia page agrees that the number you write out in quaternary are called digits, as for reference that's where bit came from, it's an abbreviation of binary digit. And technially 00 41 isn't unicode it's either a decimal point in the BMP or if you want to be somewhat old school, UCS-2 or UTF-16.

Amazon Admits Giving Ring Camera Footage to Police Without a Warrant or Consent

In response to recent questions from Sen. Ed Markey, Amazon stated that it has provided police with user footage 11 times this year alone.

Big surprise, eh?

 

[Null]

It is, I thought the number of times would have been much higher than 11.
