Look for all Gramps spam to dry-up if John Young is arrested
by professor rat 27 Aug '21

If the Jan 6 investigations now threaten Donald Dumbfuck its quite possible Alex Jones is already in the bag. And here's where " Prisoners Dilemma ' kicks in - as we just saw in the Gov Kidnap Plot thing in Michigan. It seems uncontroversial to say Alex could flip on John - and then all Gramps spam could suddenly dry up. I may even start an Augur market on this. https://augur.net

[ot][wrong][spam][crazy] mc soap opera idea
by Karl 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

mc soap opera idea It's such a relief to find this stupid show iZombie which keeps holding zombies as something you could be and referencing things but is really stupid. Would like to make a show where people instead implant each other with mind control chips. In the show, the woman ends up playing a role of a "psychic" for the police department, which is cute I guess. Dunno. The psychicness would be because you get random experiences of other people as the borg virus uses your brain to hold them during inter-borg struggles, or somesuch.

Cryptocurrency: Governance - planetary mastery through staking vampires like Peter Thiel

I now see how my killing Gramps may be seen as a Mercy Killing. His vision of the future is one of such despair for humanity its a wonder he still knows how to breath. Of course, seeing as how skeptical he is about Chinese Marxist biological warfare agents, he might be using a machine for that quite soon. " VENT-IL-ATOR ". Let off some steampunk, G.

[noob] [update] codesynth, my current project
by Karl 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

# free source code generator I bounce from project to project. My most recent is a simple python package for easing access to language models that can automatically generate source code. It's at https://github.com/xloem/codesynth/tree/wip . The wip branch contains some crash fixes that were caused by typos, but I haven't merged it yet because I haven't tested it to fix newly introduced typos. It can generate code now, though: # add a few lines of code to file.py python3 extend.py --model eleuther_demo file.py Language models work by predicting what will be said next, based on the words already said. I think it would be cool to integrate it into a semantenic completion engine, to make it easier to write software. You could hit tab to complete entire functions, etc. There are a couple existing systems to do that, and some are free (don't remember them offhand except for microsoft copilot) but they are proprietary. I'm hoping by doing this to share the work I do for my struggle to be productive, with everybody else, as far as I can.

[ot][spam][wrong] Mediating with the military borg in my mind.
by Karl 26 Aug '21

Regarding airgapped private keys, I understand that it's important to you to know and possibly influence certain things about me and possibly communications. I'm imagining a situation where we develop enough trust, that I can hold a pgp private key in a way secure enough that _others_ cannot access it easily.

FCC, RoboCalls, RF Spectrum, State Schools, FreeSpeech, Leftist News, etc

>> https://bipartisanreport.com/2021/08/24/feds-hit-jacob-wohl-with-5m-fine-fo… > Well, I COULD say, "It's about time!" > However, anybody who has owned a cell phone for more than a couple years is > fully aware of the flood of robo-calls. Apparently, the FCC does nothing > about it. What's worse is that 100% of all calls CDR's are permanently recorded forever at the phone switch level. Any civil suit by FCC or end-user could subpoena proof of millions of robocalls to make claims, even including tracking back to unspoofable physical trunks and lines, and which airborne tower and IMEI, etc. But the FCC serves political masters, usually replacing the FCC chair every election, and they are lobbied by telecom and "services" and "political" industries all of which make huge money and fraudulently sway elections off the backs of such robocalls. In short, only civil suits by civilians will begin to break the bank of robocallers, and most civilians won't follow through. So keep enjoying your robobcalls. Now really what free peoples would ever want an "FCC" to be involved in their comms? You already have UWB-SS and encryption and GNURadio etc, so just go make opensource HW and SW and FABS to give the final fuck you to that part of the State. Don't forget to educate people on preserving parts of the spectrum from noise for important science, etc. As Freedom does not come without the Education and Responsibility to enjoy and preserve it. > Are these people being charged for > robo-calling? Or, are they being charged for being "political"? > And, "the wrong kind of 'political' "??? It is clearly political, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of fine that would NEVER have been levied if it were not Republicans but instead was Democrats doing the robocalling under a Democrat regime. >> https://bipartisanreport.com/2021/08/24/feds-hit-jacob-wohl-with-5m-fine-fo… Further, RatBoy, the so called man, who is really too much of a pussy trap agent to actually run the crypto game he loves to talk smack about and faux wager his pathetically small dicked stack of just 20Yuan on, is now clearly shilling and propping links for the US GovPol Left... such as @PalmerReport, @EmptyWheel, @Gal_Suburban, @SeditionHunters, @BiPartisanReport (which is in fact not "Bi" but is entirely LeftDemProg sided), etc without offering any kind of An/Lib/Vol counter narrative, thus he is hardly the "anarchist" he claims to be, but instead a prop for Leftist Statists. To be fair, there are more links on those fantastical clowns... https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/01/wohl-robocall-michigan/ https://www.thedailybeast.com/jacob-wohl-wanted-on-felony-arrest-warrant https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/09/05/jacob-wohl-felony-security… https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/08/27/robocalls-michigan-penn-… https://www.thedailybeast.com/mueller-smear-pushed-by-pro-trump-activists-f… https://www.thedailybeast.com/far-right-smear-merchants-jacob-wohl-and-jack… https://www.thedailybeast.com/did-a-far-right-star-recruit-jacob-wohl-to-te… https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/02/26/twitter-suspends-far-r… https://www.thedailybeast.com/jacob-wohl-faked-death-threats-against-himself [ps: Did you remember when the Left claimed they were going to die from fake news Jan6 threats that were never voiced, never screenshot published for public to see, etc] [Oh, and nevermind that the FBI just cleared everyone from any "planning" of Jan6, including Trump and AJ and the PeanutButter Boys, etc. Left's False Narratives keep falling apart as usual.] Much of those links all seems to be... - Free Speech, only the Left's BigTechMediaFakeNewsSocial is currently engaged in such massive expansion and execution of Censorship and Steering and Speech Finance Cancelling regime for its own political gain. - Fake paper "laws" on finance, issued by GovCorp, interfering against the proper functioning of free markets. - Fake paper "laws" on "fraud", issued by GovCorp, which free peoples should be more educated to avoid in the first place... but of course the State's mandatory public underage young-pliable-mind school systems, which many cannot opt out of, let alone opt out of the taxation for that crap, will never teach people Fraud or Finance or Freedom, preferring instead to indoctrinate them into subjugating and depending themselves unto the State as Saviour, and now total Woke Bullshit like CRT, Reparations, OwnNothing-BeHappy, etc. And more importantly, the links are smalltime nothings compared to BigTechMediaFakeNewsSocial's in total massive election influence, 12 years mandatory worshipment of State in public school systems, etc. All that "democratic" leftism adds up to an unfree situation. All the cell phone buyers and users had to do was create filter lists, greylisting, pay-for-first-call-through, and in general opensource and alternative new phone comms tech etc. But instead they cry to GovCorp to go rule over other people instead of enabling free markets, to go maintain legacy corrupt entrenchments, to go keep people unfree and unthinking, etc... all at murder of gunpoint. Wake up.
