Registering, but don't take it for granted, I have a lot of work, and no guarantee I can come, I'll try to update my RSVP ASAP.
It is full summer now, the heart of June;
Not yet the sunburnt reapers are astir
Upon the upland meadow where too soon
The first red grapes will ripen for the wine.
The land is full of life, the clover blooms,
The song-sparrows sing from every spray,
The yellow butterflies flit to and fro,
And in the woods the partridge drums away.
All Nature laughs in the bright sunshine;
The brooks sing gaily as they run along,
The trees are green and stately where they stand,
And everything is glad except man.
He toils from dawn to dark, from morn till night,
He plods his weary way from day to day,
He eats his meager meal, he drags his feet,
He... (read more)
A bright tomorrow
Original: https://brain.louis030195.com/Philosophy/Poetry/A+bright+tomorrow
When faced with choices, we often fall prey
To cognitive biases that can lead us astray;
We're overconfident, or we're too dismissive,
And end up making suboptimal decisions.
If we're to make the best choices we can;
By being mindful of the way we think,
We can avoid these pitfalls and make better plans.
In life, there will be many grieving times;
But if we keep our wits about us, we'll find
That we can mourn our losses and still move on,
Toward the bright tomorrow that lies ahead.
Rationality can help us through the dark;
It is a lamps that guides us on our way.
When life is hard, and times are tough,
Remember, reason is here to stay.
There is great power... (read more)
The sun set this evening in the clouds.
Tomorrow, the storm shall come, and the evening, and the night;
But to-morrow's sun will rise again,
And the storm will pass away.
All things must change;
Even the clouds that darken our sky.
So let us not fear the storm,
But let us embrace the change.
It is the guide that we use to figure out how the world works,
And to find solutions to the problems we face.
It is the light that dispels the darkness,
And the force that drives away the fear
And let us not be afraid to question everything,
To doubt even our own thoughts and beliefs.
For only by questioning can we find the truth,
And only by doubting... (read 982 more words →)
Thanks for the information, I still don't understand what machines used humans for in this movie?
In reality, I think machines might have another interest in using our bodies:
The human brain, it has been said, is the most complexly organised structure in the universe and to appreciate this you just have to look at some numbers. The brain is made up of one hundred billion nerve cells or "neurons" which is the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system. Each neuron makes something like a thousand to ten thousand contacts with other neurons and these points of contact are called synapses where exchange of information occurs. And based on this information, someone has calculated that the number of possible permutations and combinations of brain activity, in other words the numbers of brain states, exceeds the number of elementary particles in the known universe.

As the inverse model teaches us, more information is less knowledge, in our era of massive information, we have turned a large part of the population into zombies.
In The Matrix, humans are put into tubes, used by machines as energy generators (somehow). Human minds are fooled into a "virtual" world while machines enjoy their life in the "real" world.
My concern is why a "virtual" world would be worse than the "physical" world where machines live in? Let's discuss this somewhere else.
What I want to demonstrate is the fact that most people nowadays are just like these humans in the tubes, but not physically.

The centralized state is obsolete
If we have decentralized companies, why not decentralized state altogether?
Corporations, like the state, are another kind of story we like to make, and by story I mean what Harari so often argues about.
morality before the church, trade before the state, exchange before money, social contracts before Hobbes, welfare before human rights, culture before Babylon, society before Greece, self-interest before Adam Smith, greed before capitalism
~ Matt Ridley
The state has its origins in the emergence of trade, which required some laws to be enforced to ensure proper game-theoretic interactions. My idea of what we need... (read more)

Please be skeptical. What do you think?

Fuck you privacy
When you walk in the street, do people have to "accept cookies" in order to let you watch them? Listen to them? Smell them? Touch them?
Why then do we need consent on The Internet?
Data privacy is the root of opacity.
Data privacy adds a lot of friction in the development of technology, no wonder EU is 50 years behind US and China technologically.
It sounds like it is related to private property, though I do not blame private property, it seems inherent to humans, in the Monkey Brain.
I am too ignorant as of know to debate on the topic... (read more)
Programming automates everything, and now programming is automating itself.
I wrote a tool that translates between programming languages quickly using OpenAI Codex:

A dark night
Tensor products in the sky,
The eigenvectors of the light,
The adjoint of the shadows cast;
Dot products in the grass,
The inverses of the day;
Orthogonal projection onto the line of sight,
Composition of the night!
The product of a day and a night,
A line through the middle of the light,
The sum of the shadows and the day!
Matrix multiplication in the clouds,
The determinant of the sky;
The inverse of the sunset,
The product of the night and the day!
Shear transformations in the mist,
The eigenvectors of the fog,
The adjoint of the shadows cast;
Dilations in twilight,
The inverses of the night;
The singularity augurs a dark night,
A night without stars,
But Everybody has to pass through a dark night before he reaches sunrise.
