Well, I don't get recommended spam and even if I do, I don't find it believable because I have a strong intolerance of bullshit my entire life and the algorithms pick up on that. So basically, don't tolerate bullshit.
Opinion, yes. Politics? No.
Well, you can't address individual neurons unless you're a brain surgeon shining a laser at someone's individual neurons, but you can address individual memories through indirect references, surely 2^24 unique memories might take millennia to acquire and chances are I'd forget almost all of them. It's a quote by me, not a rule.

I feel like 256 or 65536 bytes is too small for a usable computer with usable applications, whereas 2^32 bytes or larger is too unrestrictive on writing correct, bloatless applications. So I'm making a quote where 2^24 of anything ought to be enough for anybody. Like, 2^24 bytes of ram, 2^24 bytes of nonvolatile storage, 2^24 bytes of cpu cache, 2^24 clock cycles per second cpu cores, 2^24 fpga...
When are we gonna start spinning it?

Prompt: "Let's say I discover the cheat code to life. I win, and I win big at everything. But it feels like I didn't earn it. Do I just give up almost all my winnings to start over repeatedly, tearing apart marriages, friendships and adding another problem for others besides jealousy? I can't just reprogram myself to use a simpler model to keep feeling challenged and change back when necessary,...
Almost as if the more of a deadbeat someone is, the higher they rise to the top.
Wrong, only once have I seen a useful ad in my entire life, and decided against buying it because I don't need it. I can reveal the ad if you ask, just don't want to be seen as a, dare I say, a tiser'.
Go lobby for car makers to replace car chargers with usb ports because car chargers can be used as cigarette lighters so no one bothers you to light their ciggie.
you could make a religion out of this! - By the guy behind the sun is a deadly lazer.

Or if you are willing to learn Portuguese with me in addition to pink and black favorite colors and you're a between 18 and 24 girl. That's my type.
Do you know Portuguese and your two favorite colors are pink and black? Otherwise, no.
Cool. When will a reputable payment platform that isn't negligent in investigating fraud that accepts one or more cryptocurrencies be commonly accepted by the vast majority of businesses?
Edit: There's a risk. When one files a cryptocurrency tax form, and say, no one wants to buy some of their cryptocurrency so that they can pay taxes on the rest, that could discourage adoption because unlike being allowed to take your money out of the bank unless they're bankrupt or physically having cash, no one owes anyone a cryptocurrency transaction.

Or would that go against the monolithic kernel paradigm of the Linux kernel?Edit: There's this flag in kexec: "--load-preserve-context Load the new kernel and preserve context of current kernel during kexec."
So, trades, where people are also taught how to repair stuff relevant to their career?
If you're not criticized for telling the truth, was it even truth you spoke?
Kind of like saying "if there wasn't a equal and opposite reaction to your action, did your action really happen?"
Surely that subreddit might know of any AIs that don't use copyright incompatible training data and / or weights. What other places could I ask?
I'd want to try AI for coding, but I want to use a software license compatible with all it's training data and weights software licenses and attribute copyright to all the training data's authors, because I don't believe the copywashing from AI companies. No explanation was given for the post's removal.
Go ahead and downvote me, AI company lawyers.
I emailed rms about whether he'd might consider using a fully free software, hardware, firmware computer with a free software targetable eFPGA, which I explained here all the computer parts that exist today that can make it happen:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43547644The april fools is that I asked him to also consider using mitigations that counter the side effects of the two possibly proprietary components. (the display and nonvolatile storage medium)
Edit: I emailed rms about this idea (by emailing him the text.) I asked if he's willing to use a partially or fully proprietary displayport alt mode over usb c monitor that he can add wireless shielding for privacy and verify that no screen data is stored.
And I asked if he's willing to use a partially or fully proprietary storage medium but if it only stores encrypted data with the private key he gives to the Qomu when prompted upon boot, the private key kept in Sram the entire time, and erased on poweroff.

Basically, a QuickLogic Qomu Dev Board plugged into a hub with six USB Type A ports: * A USB Type A keyboard
* A USB Type A mouse
* A DisplayPort over USB Type C Monitor connected with a USB Type C to USB Type A adapter
* A MicroSD to USB Type C Adapter connected to a USB Type C to USB Type A adapter
* A free and open source wifi or ethernet or lora...

I read somewhere that Sram can have specific values set by the manufacturer when powered on, and I see that as useful for implementing a Soft-Core in a Sram FPGA, but what bitstream should I bias the Sram to have immediately upon power on reset?Like, I read that it was seen as a hardware trojan, like the manufacturer biased the sram to have a specific value upon power on reset.Edit: I'll just...
Can I add my own instruction set extensions to the original x86 isa as implemented by the 8086 without permission from Intel and / or AMD as long as I'm not copying any x86 instruction set extensions?
It's a unix system, I know this!
I on the other hand want to make a voice command centered user interface for a dual quicklogic eos s3 chip programmable smartwatch, programmable via voice commands but optional touch screen for mute people.
Okay, I get it now. So Linux that's treated like it's GPLv3 but is actually GPLv2 only by not locking down the bootloader or providing the necessary private keys to unlock it is real linux.
