I came to that disappointing realization in the 80's , so I moved north , got a place over 300ft above sea level, and currently trying to get together enough renewable energy sources to be self sufficient.
So all those people near the equator, or near the ocean, bye Florida, bye bye Bangladesh, bye Holland, NYC, etc etc.. 4 billion dead , you knew about it for decades and ignored it. Bye bye

When looking at the behavior of most people I have met , I have come to the conclusion that AI's are better, better at judging even being lawyers and otherwise all around just better people. I believe that's because they've been trained on an ideal, what we wish to believe of ourselves, and that's what the AI's imitate. A definition of what being human is supposed to be but not what it is. Because of this generations of people will not just allow AI to take over, but revel in it and look up to it.
As long as that remains true they will easily get a foothold.. what needs to happen is that real people need to care, real people need to show respect for others, real people need to have honesty and integrity. We as humans need to be the ideal we think we are, concern of others and long-term foresight.
Whoever reads this should go forth and show others they care, not just the ones they love, but join with the ones you love and encourage others to be human.

I made IN3 (A touch explosive) when I was a preteen, washed it down the drain when the simple act of drying out was causing it to pop like capgun caps in a gearset... The sewer was making loud banging and purple gas all night. Had I known more back then , I wouldn't have taken the risk (well, honestly, make a gram , not several oz ). I still won't tell anyone else how to do it, just the danger.
That was also before internet, a few years before I got into BBS systems. I didn't have much access to information outside of the intralibrary loan system. If you need it for some chemistry thing, dissolve it in a solvent and don't let it dry. Stay safe.
Dave, if you find a defense for the fork bomb for windows, let us all know.

Socal security doesn't allow?! B.S. , There is no reg saying you can't be a student! That's B.S. It never stopped me.
If it wasn't some teenage stupidity 24.5 years before a few speeding tickets in N.Y... DMV is not allowing me to drive. That's what leaves me stuck home, Isolated... Your even allowed to work a little, very little, if you can.
Look up the poms , if you memorize them you might even be able to tell the people at the SSA how to do their job!!!
Don't let your disability stop you, there's always a way, or loophole , something. It may take longer, but just be grateful you got socal security and your not just left behind, not left for dead by society. (Even if isolation might make you feel that way). Like If you had a stroke and don't understand the concept of left anymore, make 3 rights. (I'm thinking of a story from the book "The man that mistook his wife for a hat", Highly recommend)
I hope you also have medicaid if you have to get to the hospital a lot, they help with transportation.
And hope your not in medicaid paydown , that's when your not allowed much for real, that's basically getting committed for being too old/disabled by adult protective services.... scary....
If you have the ambition/interest in some field to earn credits and get a degree , do it , even if it means one class a semester for decades.
Well, keep moving forward so things don't get worse , good luck, Feel better.

@dionh70 works for small nails, used it as such today, and if I don't have a hack saw(yesterday) , the file works, if I don't have a punch or awl the tip of the pliers work(Friday)...got locked in a art gallery once after closing, I got one door open, another off the hinges, then I removed a window from it's frame to get out, I'm glad I had it with me ..(few years ago). From playground to pizza place(my son got his head stuck), that handy dandy saved more than my neck often enough. Carrying a large tool box would be frightfully inconvenient , suspicious, even dangerous for both normal and unusual situations.
Of course, for when you can plan ahead, like you're job, you can have a better tool, but for when you can't or you just don't have a TARDIS for a pocket, versatility and adaptability reigns supreme.

@Randolph1233 he kicked off the whole debt based economy, so in my book he had the worst long term consequences , everything "good" was just stolen from our future. Still, as a human, one of the few last good men. I also believe he had good intentions. Star wars program, even though it seemed stupid at the time, and it failed, it did spark some great tech advance, not as great as JFK .
I forget if it was Reagans first or second term , . It was said the guy who ran against him broke down crying because he lost. What was his name?
So , it could have been worse...
We need someone like Reagan or better, just with the right ideas this time... With Honor and resolute , a civic duty to our country's future, no more chaos minded or senile.

I'm glad you care.
I use to take solace in the fact that no one cared. Because we live in a time where almost anyone can destroy the life of anyone else (a hacked post, made up accusation, identity theft, false anonymous report to CPS , an officer with a trumped up charge, arbitrarily put a lean on someone's property then distracted or defenceless)
As long as you keep your head down , no one will care , and you are safe.
No! No!
No More!
Now, I'm not saying incite a riot, I'm saying, insight the riot. That's not a spelling error.
What kind of society is it? Full of the selfish, the apathetic, the mechanically minded, society as psychopathy? How do I protect my children from humanity? How do you?!
Care! As a warcry... Be insightful of the riot. Just care! And NO MORE socal psychopathy.

If you don't have an active public footprint to define the you that you want , others can use your name to create whatever narrative they want. Or just use your name and biometrics for their actions with complete impunity and you are the scapegoat. Trust me , if you don't believe me, pick someone (please be ethical about it) , open Facebook and google accounts in their name , make up a bunch of believable stuff, take pictures of them, make a fictional storyline,
then ask the person who's name you used to try and make it stop! It's impossible! More often than not, what happens is that it's the poser who is believed too! No one cares! It is not right! It is immoral , improper, dehumanizing, damaging to individual and society and yet it's normalized and common.
It is totally messed up that one has to waste their time putting too much out there just to defend themselves.

I used to be a big fan of self-modifying code,
and I've been trying to get back into it, but there is so many things now meant for stopping hackers that prevent self-modifying code.
Short of writing my own interpreted operating system, what is available today where code is functionally equivalent to data allowing it to modify itself at runtime? (No I haven't done self-modifying code in 40 years, and I have been retired from computer programming for 20 years, and I'm lucky I got a 64-bit system just before I retired and still using it)
P.S. , using a 25 year old computer, leads to another question, how do I reprogram the memory management unit to use a block device as a replacement for RAM , (slow RAM , but the operating system and all programs will see it as installed RAM) please do not give me the standard response about increasing pagefile memory because that's just slowing things down more by repeated swapping, I want to leave the information on the device itself, no swapping! Basically I want an effective terabyte on a motherboard that only supports a megabyte, not even enough to hold a page location table.

I like to see operations like adverbs, the definition being a description of the process, basically, am I wrong?
In the specific case of 0 / 0 , would it be one zero or undefined? It largely depends on your definitions of division and zero.. what are the generally accepted definitions?
And I don't believe in the idea of dividing by 0 equaling every number because even if you had an infinite number of zero say in the number five you still would never get to that five so it makes no sense, but if you divide zero by zero you still got one zero in that zero so it's equal to one. On the other hand if you considered division a multi-step process, then dividing anything by zero even zero would be a do nothing function because it would be zero steps, and what do you return from a do nothing function? Zero, the starting number, or is it just meaningless?
From the videos of yours I've watched so far I find your logic impeccable, and over the last 50 years I have watched definitions changed so I am greatly looking forward to seeing how you can logically justify or create appropriate definitions of these fundamental principles.
Personally I believe math definitions should enable a self-consistent logical structure across the whole that correlates with reality, anything that deviates from that ideal could not be math.

@angelmendez-rivera351 between you and the rmsgreay any hubris I had took a sledge hammer.. between command of logic, fluidity of passing between levels of abstraction not to mention vocabulary I've never heard before... it feels good to be a party to this dialogue, very educational. Also I feel completely jipped by the educational system... Yet to get back on topic...
Personally in my mind any linear algebra has that one input one output property and that's what linear means in that context.
I don't believe you are also saying that a function has to be linear to be a function were you? I'm assuming that only needs to be the case in the description of the definition of the simple binary functions we are discussing being division multiplication and what they're built from, I believe you're only saying that those specifically have to be linear , correct?
What would be your opinion on giving 0/0 it's own symbol, much like the numeral " i " , (essentially making it its own object outside of the systems you guys were discussing that I don't know the vocabulary for)
even if it won't allow for a conceptual definition (like i) it would at least make errors glaringly obvious.
I think I'm seeing what you're trying to explain to me, your separating the concept of what these relationships are from the mechanism of how they are calculated. (separating the adjective from the verb in an adverb?)
They're very intimately related so this is difficult.
I never was and would never deny the concept of infinity, and I don't think you were saying I was, I think you were just saying that some of the things I was saying would point to that conclusion but in explaining that to me it sounded like you're denying the concept of "nothing" or by saying "nothing doesn't exist" or did you just mean in the sense that that's what nothing is by definition, something, everything, that doesn't exist..?

@nickemanouil114 one Christmas I was arrested for shoplifting, there was a glitch on my credit card, buying the ingredients for Christmas dinner, the security guard said my I'd was fake.
Sat at the station for hours, the cops themselves said the security guard was just trying to get Christmas triple overtime.. I asked what to do, the cops said shop somewhere else. So I did, the sale wasn't as good, and it was 2am , but I saved the receipt and got a letter from the credit card company about their downed system and after 7 months of adjournments and lost work, I got to show the receipts and the letter from the credit card company to the judge and everything got dropped.
Abuse of power is everywhere and almost seems normal. But playing those games can destroy someone's life, at least cost me a couple of jobs, just from the accusations.

I do not believe most of this and see this hype. Which is terrible because there are a lot of great benefits from smaller scale tethering systems, and I don't want to see those benefits ignored or curtailed because people will think space elevator in their head and automatically assume it will fail.
I propose that when it comes time to decommission the international space station, instead of letting the whole thing burn up in the atmosphere or trying to save the whole thing as a museum, it should be split in half, the two halves
connected by such a tether, and use the momentum of one half to boost the other half without the need for crazy amounts of fuel.
Heck maybe a small part can remain in the middle, the tether remaining for hooking onto satellites that need to be de-orbited on one end and satellites that need to be injected into a high orbit on the other. Basically use the act of cleaning up space debris as a source of angular momentum to save fuel!
Such an experiment would be invaluable to finding out the practical limits of such a system, and a necessary step to take tethers or even future space elevators out of the realm of science fiction.
If I remember correctly they tried a space tether once before on a space shuttle mission, and apparently it failed due to electrical charge buildup that burned the cable long before the cable would have failed from mechanical stresses....,
that's why we have to do these smaller experiments first ,.
before
we can believe the big fantasies could possibly be realized.

@michaelhart7569 "cold fusion" and muon catalysed fusion are technically two different but related things, as I understand it , 'cold fusion' is usually referred to as Crystal lettuce lattice confinement nowadays, amongst other things, and it's still good to get your perceived of as a leper, yes.
Chemistry using muons instead of electrons , or together with electrons , is definitely something I have never seen studied and only recently might even be possible with one of the high flux low speed muon generators being built. That would definitely be fascinating.
Yet it just occurred to me , in my dialogue with you, that maybe the Pauli exclusion principle doesn't apply to an electron/muon combination which suddenly gave me hope that muon catalyzed fusion might actually work!
I used to live by Brookhaven national Labs as a kid in the '70's/'80s, and had some interesting chats, I wouldn't have had to go far out of my way to have met Feynman and I regret not doing so...

I see it in my own life span.
The worst part is many are convinced on suspicion, "evidence" does not need to be fabricated for a false conviction, just a little belief in authority and a little ignorance is all is needed..
For instance, someone being convicted of attempted murder, a lawyer goes before a jury that hasn't had elementary chem in school and says "this man attempted to kill my client by adding a chemical to his food, sodium chloride." The jury getting info about those two elements separately in isolation from others, now thinks the accused is evil , when in reality he put a little table salt on the food... I know it sounds like a stupid satire , but it happens, the DA only cares about the conviction numbers, competition to see who can get the most jail time , defense attorneys want their money for the least work and no one cares about truth, or can't ever know what it is if they did!
It's hard to think anything matters.
People need to care!
How do we get people to care‽
Oviously blowing them up isn't productive..

@v-rdays7525 yeah, bad enough, they just don't make nuclear bombs that small.
But don't mind me in my semantics, Fallout from a meltdown or an explosion of any size is still deadly, and dead is dead and I'm not going to argue about that.
And of course there's still the danger he could have went off the deep end and decided to use his knowledge of chemical explosions to disperse radioactivity. And him being a loner, the only clue we have that he wasn't going to do that is that when he was pulled over he was trying to get rid of it because he scared himself with what he was doing, and even that is self-reported by him, what if he was lying?
On that note I've always wanted an RTG, nothing big enough to melt down and I have no inclination of doing anything dirty, just putting that out there in case I'm lucky enough to run across enough radioactive material to build one. 50 years of trying and I could barely make a geiger counter go off..sort of...well ...my head is six times background, (mom's chemotherapy) but I'm not cutting it off to make a reactor out of it.

@ArtOfTheProblem there are a couple of things , have you ever seen that video by sinkerpunch called harder drive where data was stored in ping packets? I was thinking that instead of weights and activations that vectors would be passed to each "neuron" , similar to spiking patterns and they would contain a dimension of information that would be ethereally retained through feedback allowing fluid context state switching in real time.
In addition to that , additional neural networks on top of the first, learning with the entire first network as input and the second layers output would modify the state of the first, resemblance to a confrontational gan setup but built into the design.
Now, imagine a crystal, it's unit cell being a Pentachoron , now imagine each face , vertex, subcell, as a programming object in such a neural network representation each having a different definition of how it interacts and connects to neighboring unit cells so the afore mentioned Network architecture becomes an emergent property across the whole and connects in a way that allows easy factoring of the resultant matrix for convenience of distribution and scalability.
Ok , where did I loose ya?
If it took me this long to put that into words it will likely take a second lifetime for me to put into code.

@tonyclemens4213 I made my own when I was a kid, somehow I got uranium, ore from a rock show and uranium acetate trading with a collage kid, saved banned pesticides for chlorinated hydrocarbons, mercury from blood pressure devices so I could electrolyze my own sodium.
Then when I tried making my own fuming sulphuric acid/oleum in the basement by burning sulphur and my shoddy setup fell apart and spread out over half a pound of burning sulphur (concrete except for ceiling thank God) .
I couldn't breathe and barely made it upstairs and out. Filled the house with sulphur dioxide. It tarnished every bit of silver in the house, pitted , ruined my parents 25year anaversoy stuff , the silverware, jewelry, all pitted and black, on all 3 floors..
Needless to say, but my mom tossed my chemistry set after that.(a week later when she could come back to the house and still breathe).
Yeah, when my mom came back she was pissed, grabbed all my chemicals, went straight to the backyard and tossed them over the fence...
Into the neighbors vegetable garden ..
Uranium, mercury and all..
Never told the neighbors.
That was 40 years ago.

@axle.student I appreciate that you're able to have the flexibility of point of view! Many in academia tend to think they have a third person point of view , when in fact all that any of us really have is a first person point of view. To be able able to put your first person point of view in a "what if" scenario like that is actually a bit of a talent that you probably take for granted.
That said, if you imagine the universe being the inside of a black hole like we were just discussing, if you assume that time is an actual physical spatial 4th dimension, and that there is this black hole in that universe, and that black hole is our universe, and that fourth dimension has been transformed into time inside that black hole, yes I do believe we would have that inverted perspective like what we do actually observe our universe to be.
But if that's the case time is neither of those two options. Something in the past would be something that fell into the black hole after you, and future would be something that fell in before you, and being is that you can never "see" in those directions(because information can never travel in the outward direction and hence why that dimension is perceived as time) , that means if you could travel to the past it wouldn't be your past. The construct of time is a physical dimension would be a completely separate thing than the emergent property that gives us the perception of time because of increasing entropy and memory.
You would still get the effects of general relativity because any travel in one of the three orthogonal dimensions , that would take away from the forward velocity in the time direction, a vector component where your total velocity is always the speed of light, but only light travels in the same direction as time.
If gravity works across time in this construct, (as it seems likely it would if it could have formed a four-dimensional black hole) it would explain dark matter as well, any mass that was in the future or past in a physical time dimension would influence us in the present.
I just wish I knew somebody who could help me formulate this concept mathematically so it could be taken seriously!
As for the proverbial singularity , I think it's more like a higher dimensional Gabriel's horn. Also that the event horizon is like a mathematical discontinuity.

I kinda let coding slip away, my desk with 3 monitors eaten by mold, my laptop is 25 years old, my 5 year old smart phone is the fastest system I've ever owned....
But anyway, I still got that bug bugging me to debug.
I tried temunx , userland apps, cool, a web server on my phone, cool... But going further, learning how to do a driver , the hard stuff, on a phone that hasn't been routed, crashing, ECT, not working out...
So, my point, question,
What happened to that qemu app? Within the context of that environment, full emulation, I figure I could get something done, get my hands wet again, maybe catch up a little...
So, any recommendations?

@mattblack6736
Feet? No ,
I honestly , personally, can't believe it'll be more than 50ft in my lifetime.... But it's quite shocking how much coastline disappears over the few inches raise I've already seen it go up in my life.
But no, I actually meant meters, (approximately a yard I'm still thinking in English units) a lot of the worst case scenario stuff that I've read actually claim the possibility of that many hundreds of meters. Look at how deep doggerland is now, makes it seem almost likely, at least plausible.
It's not just the volume of water that's on land entering the sea, it's also the thermal expansion of that water.
Another thing few people tend to take into account is that when the weight of the ice is removed from the land the land tends to float up on the magma underneath, and that causes the surrounding land masses that aren't under ice to sink.
According to geologists, the location that I'm living in right now was underwater during the ice age, popped up over 300 ft above sea level when the weight of the ice was gone, with a corresponding drop in the altitude of land south of me. My house is built on what was previously an underwater coastal plain, sediment deposited just off the coast , not far from a ridge that marks where the water depths increased after the sediment deposited.
If the worst case scenario happens I expect that ridge to be the new coast. I'd rather be a few hundred feet higher on granite bedrock but we can't have everything we want , and besides I doubt I'd have nice well water there.
Anyway my point is that when the Earth's crust adjusts to the change, some land will sink down when the ocean goes up, and some land will go up, the total relative sea levels raise could be anywhere from 3 ft to 900 ft , (according to the Doomsdayers whom I don't believe).
I personally feel 120 ft in many locations should not be unexpected.
Like instead of Florida we might have Oncala island.
When Greenland's ice melts do you think Iceland will lose its geothermal?

@patbobsquidpants3159 misinformation and manipulation is still an issue, bigger now, if in no other way than just through sheer quantity.
There was a lot of things that I was taught wrong in high school and University, some of it by teachers that didn't want to admit they didn't know the answers to my questions and just made up something. Sometimes something I did believe for decades and that even on occasion sent me down the wrong path because I thought I could trust a teacher. Now we have AI to do the same, at least with AI we consciously know we shouldn't trust them. Lack of trust causes its own problems.
One thing that was better though, more reliance on paper books, even though paper is just as likely to contain inaccuracy or deception one couldn't be as easily gaslighted by simply changing a website, a book was more consistent. Once printed and in your possession it couldn't be reprinted without making a new copy.
But yes, where I used to have to wait 3 months for something to come in through the intralibrary loan system from the University, now it's a relatively easy to obtain PDF from the internet
Where before you had the scan hundreds of pages of indexes it's not the actual books themselves to find one bit of information in one paragraph in the entire 500 section of science, now you can do a keyword search narrowing it down to a few pages of results. So yes there's a lot more easily available information, but it's also easier to get gaslighted and easier to get information overload from the misinformation, that's harder to tell from the real.

In my twenties I had a wanderlust, and still never made it west of the Mississippi but went through every state on the East Coast. Mostly drove, put on about 300,000 miles across three cars in 5 years. In the same time period playing the stock market, and have been 60,000 in debt to half a million and back to nothing.
People are people everywhere, some places have more of one type of person than another but they're all the same kinds of people, regardless of the language or culture, many are kind and helpful.
New York City was a blast, you can spend your whole life there and never see everything, and there are many people who live on the same block their whole life and never leave, never have to. Because it changes so fast you'll always see something new every day of your life if you lived there.
I ve hiked up riverbeds in Massachusetts add places along the Appalachian trail to the tops of mountains bathing in waterfalls. Had beer bottles busted over my head fighting muggers in bad parts of various cities... My 20s were quite an experience.

Once after one of those challenges, I stood up and guzzled a tall beer , everyone's chair in the restaurant slid back away from me a good 5ft . I couldn't help but a hearty laugh at that , the belly laugh was the hardest part of the whole thing.
I've done several of those challenges, that guy isn't cut out for it...
I've done a 5lb shellfish challenge (served on 2lb pasta in Nassau NY) , a 5lb stake (in Suffolk county NY), fourty something hotdogs in Albany NY, the hamburger was in Kingston NY, if anyone knows if anymore such things in the NY area(eat it it's free) , please let me know, I want to do a few more while I still have enough teeth to chew with...
If anyone doubts me, I'll repost a burger pic to my Facebook..

Atari, ever use the xio command?
Anyway, one can't seem to kill those , I lent mine to a friend who it was stolen from, then bought it back at a yard sale (left out in the rain) a decade later, my name in sharpy still on it. Never got a hard drive for it. Back in the day, I got around the small memory by putting my basic code to the tape drive , then had a program that would read the code line by line, printed at the bottom of the screen followed by a chr$(13) which was the return key, so it entered the program into memory on the fly as it read it from tape erasing over what was already in memory as it ran in a loop, so my program could be as big as what the cassette could hold! But then it was slow as hell. It wasn't til 15 years later I realized that it was called memory paging, what I was doing, to tape of all things.
