been thinking for a while about what immortality really means in practical terms and have begun coming around to the notion that what may be more realistic than both biological and digital immortality is memetic

the best part is that I've consistently failed to predict the dimensions among which my errors lie; each time I discover new and exciting ways to have completely missed the mark

lowkey one of my biggest struggles is continuously realizing how much of what I "know" is but flickering symbols on the cave wall, dimensional reductions missing the complexity of the actual systems from which these insight fruits were plucked by those w/ realworld experience

when you construct an entirely new personality tailor made to the girl you're tryna get with which is incompatible w/ some aspect of your Self, generating unreconcilable internal tensions in the process & forcing a subjective fracturing of reality to maintain psychic integrity

what sort of object is a diagnosis? what does its state transition diagram look like? is being diagnosed a property you possess and can it be taken away? is it a process thru which you pass?

I’m a frickin genius.
Context: my kid is mildly allergic to citric acid and citric fruit. Brings out eczema. And citric acid is in SO many things. And it’s painful checking ingredients lists for it.
This morning I wondered: can my phone OCR the ingredients list and check it?
My first thought was to make a little web app. But there doesn’t seem to be a OCR in web browsers yet.
But I KNOW my phone can get text from images.
Then…
Apple Shortcuts!!!
CHECK THIS OUT!!!

With Gargron now considering developing QTs, we should talk specifics:
It may sound good to have an option to disable QTs, and I don't oppose it. However, I fear people don't understand that disabling it actually makes you more vulnerable, not less.
QTs track everyone who is QTing you. This gives you situational awareness, and the ability to block bad actors. If you disable QTs, people may resort to screenshotting and linking instead, which you have no oversight of.

Useful test: don't join a Mastodon instance that doesn't let you follow https://raspberrypi.social/@Raspberry_Pi - defederated by many instances because they hired a policeman who had used a Pi to do police work in the past, and were then unapologetic about it.

I've found much utility in the litany of gendlin reframing: I've been wrong the whole time, but admitting it gives me a chance to become right

this is precisely my attitude towards software bugs, and why I make a point of being HAPPY and excited to find them; they were already there, but now that you've become aware, they can be fixed! I find this a powerful mindset shift to teach to neophyte engineers https://twitte…
