I was at LOWES the other day with a used can of paint that I brought for color matching. obviously used. beat up and stained. at the checkout the computer halted the checkout process said "did you forget something in your cart?" y

in art you don't know what you're making. you are creating, you aren't just moving towards a goal. that's the power of it and that's why it feels so good. now an llm might assist in that, but you got to be there wit

ai is the natural evolution of language. it's the next level of that device. creativity is you wandering the aisles of walmart, pushing your cart past shelves full of all kinds of devices.

in a roguelike game, my incentive for playing is the discovery of weird new stuff. this might be the opposite of procedural. because procedural is just the same old stuff in new combinations. right? how would we get a procedural thing or an

I'm listening to OK Computer right now. Came upon this reply half way through "Let Down". Hmm. In my own procedural explorations, the solution to the 10,000 bowls of oatmeal problem is to manually curate them and give the use

It's like reading the title of the post and skipping reading the actual post. She embodied a popular identity, offered a popularly STEMmy business plan, and the rest was skipped. Word to wise entrepreneurs.

I dislike lamb but the rest sounds great. Maybe I could sub beef.

In Orwell's 1984, control of the language was central to control of society. Newspeak and such. Consider recent quibbles over pronouns.

Things seen at a distance blend together, as opposed to just disappearing. So that's an interesting parallel. Says something about memory.

You ever spend a decade working on something really great? I mean something truly brilliant and clever and next-level. And you bring it all the way to solid results. And it's real and beautiful. And nobody cares. I have. I think that&#

maybe the physical world is the moderator of the dream world (internet). In the absence of the physical world the dream world runs rampant. with no empirical reference, truth becomes a matter of popularity or the loudest argument. with no s

A billion hungry discorporate souls, roaming a vast non-space, looking to feed their hunger, looking to eat each other. Some call that hell.

If the past has taught us anything it's that we can contrive a logically-consistent, authoritatively-founded rationale to support literally anything.

Remember covid? We all fell into lockstep with great eagerness . Suddenly everybody agreed on what's good and bad, who's good and bad. And why. So don't go pointing fingers. Attend to the 2x4 in your own eye because it'

They have this standard icon for leopard. That's an example of it. It's like our Mickey Mouse isn't exactly anatomically correct either.

Would you say that modern medical science is truth-motivated or profit-motivated? 50-50? 60-40?

by analog8374 24d ago
Agreed. And reading is not an unalloyed good. We squat over our fetish and acquire a bit of a hunch. 200 years of pro-reading propaganda may have bent our opinion. Once upon a time reading was considered a morbid activity. And it kinda is.

To be a good writer you must also love writing. But writing isn't naturally lovable. You rarely hear much from those guys who don't love writing, because they didn't write.

To read as much as you can, have a love for reading. How do you acquire a love for reading? Why would you want to acquire a love for reading?
