CIA MK Ultra The True Story of Julian Assange

Congratulations for qualifying as a Marxist-Communist! https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/7dwc4n/the_russian_l… Thus do these loans, which are a curse to the people, a ruin to the holders, and a danger to the Governments, become a blessing to the houses of the children of Judah. This Jew organization of loan-mongers is as dangerous to the people as the aristocratic organization of landowners. It principally sprung up in Europe since Rothschild was made a Baron by Austria, and enriched by the money earned by Hessians in fighting the American Revolution.

Isn’t it tempting to connect these dots.

Isn’t it tempting to connect those dots. The dots between Wikileaks residing on Pirate Bay‘s P2P servers in Stockholm, which are owned by Carl Lundstrom, the self professed Swedish neo-Nazi and financial backer of Sweden’s fascist political party, the Socialistiska partiet. Before WWII that party used to be Sweden’s Communist Party, the Sveriges kommunistiska, but they converted to National Socialism during the war and remained that way ever since. https://brutalproof.net/2018/06/henry-makow-reveals-julian-assanges-ties-to…

Israel Shamir, I mean Mussolini was Catholic. Franco was Catholic. Himmler, head of the SS, was a Catholic. The SS was set up on the Jesuit model. Goebbels was Catholic. Hoss, the camp commandant of Auschwitz, was a Catholic. Frank,‘ the butcher of Poland ’, was Catholic. https://www.unz.com/ishamir/the-long-captivity-of-julian-assange/

The IMF, including its British members, have learned the a highly suspicious republic has been seeking significant quantities of WMD-grade crypto-munitions in Ooga-Booga Africa-land. Clearly this republic is not disarming - it is deceiving. https://beincrypto.com/central-african-republic-under-scrutiny-by-imf/

End-user experience of most crypto wallets bad
by professor rat 08 May '22

08 May '22

Guthrie sees blockchain technology as a great tool to reduce the frictions and costs resulting from the myriad middlemen involved in financial transactions. Still, he says the end-user experience of most crypto wallets is far too complicated for the average person at the moment.

Second largest cryptocoin moving to proof-of-stake

FROM Mar 17 Ethereum’s merge on the Kiln testnet on Wednesday was a success, as the blockchain passed the final public test before its highly anticipated transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake (PoS), which is expected to happen by the end of Q2, 2022. https://forkast.news/headlines/ethereum-closer-to-pos-after-kiln/ Reposts not necessarily endorphins

[ot][notes] Marketing and Reinforcement Learning
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 08 May '22

08 May '22

Marketing -> Reinforcement Learning -> Consumer Behavior / Human Brain -> Human Decision-Making Process The human decision making process -- the end of the chain above -- is the most powerful thing in the world. It's just a bunch of neurons in everyone's skull. Theory: Any successful reinforcement learning algorithm, if trained in feedback with human behavior for long enough, will eventually discover mind control. -- Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a type of machine learning (transformer model based data algorithms) where the models are placed in feedback with real or simulated environments, in order to direct agents to meet rewards within those environments. It is quite successful when done properly. HuggingFace has an ongoing public training course right now, in deep reinforcement learning.

Distro wars in the Blockchain arena
by professor rat 08 May '22

08 May '22

Yakovenko, who is the engineering brains of Solana, firstly noted Rust’s popularity. “It’s not like we picked Haskell or something,” he joked (a dig at Solana’s rival blockchain, Cardano, currently ranked 6th on CoinMarketCap, which did choose Haskell). He went on to explain why they didn’t choose to build with Solidity https://thenewstack.io/solana-rust-developers/

A dark episode in the history of Trento
by professor rat 08 May '22

08 May '22

A dark episode in the history of Trento was the Trento blood libel. When a 3-year-old Christian boy, Simonino, later known as Simon of Trent, disappeared in 1475 on the eve of Good Friday, the city's small Jewish community was accused of killing him and draining his blood for Jewish ritual purposes. Eight Jews were tortured and burned at the stake, and their families forced to convert to Christianity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trento

Two cheers for biometrics
by professor rat 08 May '22

08 May '22

Biometric hashes stored in a blockchain certainly make life easier for UBI ( via the Orb ) and for ease-of-use - ( if the latest trusted module system from a Silicon Valley consortium works as advertised ) Advances like this that are utilitarian and wildly popular help advance c-punk goals in broad brushstroke terms. They make everyday use of the anarchic web deserving of essential human-and-civil right status. ( Except for Nazi-Punks ) But we're still a ways short of full cryptoanarchy and the long-time, hot-button " True Names ' issue remains non-trivial and NP hard. Unlike the blockchain we can't get enough ( strong AI and ubiquitous quantum ) tech off-the-shelf, economically, overnight. We're getting there. I'm insanely confident we'll even get there by CYPHERPUNK 2027. But this won't be brute-forced - and we really need the strong AI now like we needed decentralized digital-cash 20 years ago. " Help us strong AI - you're our last, best hope "
