[ot][spam][crazy][wrong] Building a Nuke out of Wet Noodles
by k 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

i don't know how to or want to build a nuke. but because it is a dangerous weapon, it is harder for me to pursue. it is even harder if we build it out of something preposterous sounding, like wet noodles. how would you build a nuke out of wet noodles? i dunno. nukes probably involve some kind of exotically heavy metal, and some arrangement of directing exotic particles to impact some shape of the metal. so, maybe building it out of wet noodles, would be finding a way to make a nuclear explosion out of flour and water, and a way of producing a particle gun out of flour and water? not sure. i really know very little about this! maybe i can find atomic bomb plans and paste them here.

[ot][spam][crazy] Making Soup out of Real Stones
by k 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Stone Soup is a wonderful idea talking about the presence of abundance in the world. Whenever you are sad or in need, remember that "stone soup" is a real story about real people, happening all over the world. Together, we have everything. However, an engineer is most likely to misinterpret the meaning of the phrase "stone soup" and instead start boiling up stones for rock golems to eat. Let's take it away. Stones actually have a _lot_ of human nutrients in them, and could be a very strong base to a soup. Some stones have more nutrients than others. In fact, stones are wear supplements are mined from. Additionally, stones found laying on the ground are likely to have biomatter deposits on them from the various excretion processes of the life that fills our wonderful world. Poop from worms and bugs is _full_ of digestible organic matter. You just need enough stones.

War Crime of Aggressions
by Gunnar Larson 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Today on the Memo #1 draft, we debate a potential war crime, aggression. If there was only one active war on the planet, with only one capital city still divided today, would you short sell the adversaries stock market? Then invest in the largest bank on the other side? Fines were paid, but as we get older with this graduate research, the war crime aggression cannot escape thought. --------- A *crime of aggression* is a specific type of crime where a person plans, initiates, or executes an act of aggression using state military force that violates the Charter of the United Nations <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_the_United_Nations>. The act is judged as a violation based on its character, gravity, and scale.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_aggression#cite_note-:0-1> Acts of aggression include invasion, military occupation, annexation by the use of force, bombardment, and military blockade of ports.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_aggression#cite_note-:0-1> The crime of aggression is a crime <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime> under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Statute_of_the_International_Criminal_Co…>.

[ot][spam][crazy] Doing Nothing / karl status
by k 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

It's 0952 ET on 2022-01-07 and i can barely think, move, or plan. When I hold a goal for a bit it tends to kind of disappear in my mind. My muscles move funny when I try to do existing goals. I have a funny brain issue. Oh! I found a description of a good part of my issues ... um ... convergence disorder i think? dunno. Anyway, this happens when I 'resist' my 'mind control' more strongly: the part of my brain 'pretending to be the mind control' gets more active to 'assert its bounds'. If it gets frustrated it just stops everything. But I can post to the list a little bit. It's 0953. It's _very_ helpful to have a task like posting to the list or working on some software or anything. I was thinking of finding somewhere to go and volunteer among others. The parts complained that my "hyperintelligent nanite mind control rabies" which i think might mean "political targeting and rude behavior" might transfer to the other volunteers, and made it hard to plan and act on to protect them. It's 0955. One thing I've been excited about the past couple days is building pytorch for termux on android phones. It was just something to do, really, and it's been a long delay. People have tried to make machine learning research libraries run on mobile for some time without success. I did maybe 70-98% of the work needed to do this. The efforts are broken in two: instructions for building on-device, and a build script for cross building as part of termux's package building system. I have not managed to complete either build at this time, but they both can be found from https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/2724#issuecomment-996168703 .

Zeynep Aydogan's Burn Notice
by professor rat 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Idiotic gossip, Zeynep is at it again. And this time her grotesque hypocrisy is on display for all to see. If she held Wikileaks to the same standards as she condemns Debian community for that might mean she was a good-faith contributor to this list. I doubt that could ever happen in a million years. I remind anyone considering going down this corrupted path there is already a deathlist for several known trolls here ( Gramps, Batshit and Semich ) You don't want to be on it. TIMOTHY " An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion " C. MAY 1992 TIM " I guess now that the Pentagon is setting up a murder pool it can't be illegal for us to do it " MAY. 2003

Only users lose drugs

One of the more unpleasant aspects of a state of war under modern conditions is the appearance of a swarm of individuals, too clever by half, in positions of authority. Excited, conceited, prepared to lie, distort and generally humbug people into states of acquiescence . . . " https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=101046098907830&w=1
