I hope we collectively figure out that "this idea is exclusively mine" for however long I can keep it secret or get my 'patent rights' enforced is an obsolete idea.

exclusive property over ideas is an old practice that needs to stay back in the 20th century, where it was useful and when the technology was not just here yet

can we have a 21st century digital renaissance yet?

once they solve 'aging' they can proceed to solve 'childhood'

then we can stay adults forever, thereby ceasing to exist

but is DRM a 'technology' or is it something more specific?

if computers are a technology, then DRM is an specific application of it???

ugh, I just destroyed my own understanding

cuz it happens to be the first spoken language I learned?

does this answer your question? if not, maybe this can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdOtR2A5agc

but this is only because 10 in ten in decimal system

but the numbers are not (only) how they're written down!

meh...

what is the OC? whose replies??

I think I gotta somehow get a better understanding of Mersenne and Eisenstein primes, but I don't like jumping through 'bureaucratic'-academic hoops to get things explained to me. it's only numbers, I have other things to do

I'm looking for some point?

also, you're focused on base 10. And that 1,3,7,9 is the basis of the how i remember them: 11,13,17,19 then 23 AND ALSO 101,103,107,109, and then 113. but why!?

I learned that all twin primes in base 4 either end in 1 xor 3. and I know that all primes congruent to 1 modulo 4 can factorized into a complex number with its conjugate (Gaussian primes). But I don't understand this, I only 'know it'

And then, I figured that all the twin primes in base 6 are always end in 5 then in 1. and that's it, this is supposed to be a question by the way

you're calling the bottom line of hardware manufacturers "no good reason"!

they're looking for a way to completely capture the "boons afforded by digital assets" (digital goods)

if they control your computer, they can prevent you from incurring in 'illegal' activities such as piracy

but it all boils down to the logic of the market, the raw fact that capitalism works even with marginal costs. but when copying (and distribution) costs go lower (less than 'marginal' down to zero cost) it all starts to break down

if people aren't selling digital assets to each other (which doesn't make sense with the technology we have right now), they cannot be taxed and so on.

solution: fix the technology. make it so that only those with specially authorized keys (trust worthy actors) can copy digital information at will. everybody else will have to pay them for this privilege.

oh and nevermind the fact that computers work by copying bits all over the place

except for the autistic crazy who just somehow knows

but I haven't seen that movie in many years, so I don't remember what he knows

but the actual test was 9 digits? (if i recall well)

I 'memorized' the first 31 primes! why? I'm not sure; but I know how I did it, I don't know what it means tho

well, they invented the basic outline of eyes we have, so give them some cred (our eyes are flipped, I wonder how this relates to swimming in liquid in contrast with gas)

if anything, scalar interstellar travel is SLOW

the necessity of debt to measure and trade is dubious at best, selfish and evil at worst

people advocating for this are on the receiving end of a very extractive and destructive system

is a world where people pay to use specific words

the idea of "property" (ownership) which is the cornerstone of the whole of civilization breaks down when applied to digital goods.

I am probably even crazier

I see that the mathematics ultimately provide the basis for a lot of that research, which can be summed up as measuring various things, recording the measurements, and publishing the whole thing. But it's all built on the same essential math at the foundation.

and the mathematics is duplicated a lot to, but this is hard to see, you'd need a 'real' expert, of the kind that can be hand counted

there was this:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/may/07/too-greedy-m...

also the scandals in standford and harvard.

also this https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=202307201... which is bad because the academia is intended to be above this "petty geopolitics". as far as I know academic collaboration didn't quite stop either during the cold war, but I was born after it was over so I don't really know this, might be wrong.

and more than all these, the whole sci-hub debacle is the biggest telltale.

this is not about good or bad science, but about the money incentives.

maybe I'm in a news-bubble, but I also see things about postdocs being a fraud, even PhD's are now a dubious gamble?

and then I add my personal experience doing a masters at a public 3rd world country university, and I just hope it burns to the ground, which is a bad idea to dwell on.

at the end of the day, all of academia is part of the larger "publishing industry"...

though I think that to keep up with the scale, maybe I should call it "publishing institution" (alongside, government institutions, organized crime institutions (arguably blended with the government in some places), industrial institutions, and merchant institutions like banks)

so then, journalism was the first to be redrawn by the internet technology when tech companies became the biggest advertisers in the world. then music, even 'BIG entertainment' is on strike.

and now academia is having its moment, and so many things are unraveling as well

I live in a place where legal rights are very different from legal realities, so pardon my snark

> The reality distortion field is alive and well, folks.

summer spectacles have been applied: e.g. barbieheimer and women's soccer world cup

I wonder what else

it is becoming impossible to own your hardware. go cloud!

apparently tiktok tokens are already worth real world money?

CDBC are here. FedNow is essentially that. also russia just announced DigitalRubles.

USA Dollar is now part of a more competitive currency market? maybe?

as part of the general public, I can only guess

I remember a long time ago, on a talk by Benoit Mandelbrot, who visited my university in what may have well been a "Farewell Tour"

that towards the end he says: but the only "practical" application is gaming financial markets, and proceeded to talk about his work in this area; or something like this, my memory is a bit vague. I remember feeling disappointment.

My own 'rationalizaton' of why astrology:

we all go too school on the same calendar cycle. But to young children one year difference can be quite significant.

this magnitude of difference diminishes with age: 50 vs 51 years old? same thing... 3 vs 4 years old? may be the difference between pooping your pants and holding it in

but consider the social consequences of shitting your pants in a semi-public setting? and add these up over your whole k12 education across millions of people.

the idea is that some psychological traits will be formed by this. and the zodiac reveals when you where born.

in summary I'm saying that taking all these things together and averaging them out may reveal psychological traits formed by an homogenized (standardized) education experience.

I agree with you, I think "just be yourself" or else get comfortable acting

on the other hand, it's also important to 'go with the flow' sometimes, specially around things you don't consider too important; whichever those may be (I've noticed that what is important is even affected by my mood).

> You probably also want to fix whatever organizational dysfunction led to a video game company behaving like this, and talking like this.

I think this is not a problem unique to Ubisoft, so I am skeptical of the usefulness of blaming this on them alone.

but transhumanism is ideologically corrupt!

such prejudice, I really really hope you're not an academic ethicist

I thought I wanted to be an academic after quitting my 'industry' job

then I had to go through some traditions which are trying to teach me things I had to unlearn while working 'professionally'

needless to say, my degree is on hiatus; why learn things which I know I will have to unlearn later when I go back into 'industry'?

and then the pandemic happened, and then FAANG fired tens of thousands and now I cannot find a job to go back to

the laws are something that is written, they are a consequence of writing (where writing is taken as a social technology)

software is something new, it's writing that can write itself, or change itself. it's a bunch or written things which then take other written things and transform them.

this has conceptual consequences for the laws because the technology that the the concept of laws if mounted on top of, has been radically changed by software

hence it's not as simple as relying on 'licensure' which ultimately leans on the notions and constructions emanating from "the written law"

maybe in the future congress is going to have to approve pull-requests to google infrastructure code? heheh

the american civil war was the way the british crown took back control of their former colony

catholicism is how rome beat down the 'barbarians', which ended up as the germanic holy roman empire

yes, it's usually the end of the stick they give to people in countries other than 1st world

it is in a sense poetic that the stick is sourced in the 3rd world

but I get it, you're both, correctly nitpicking and I'm wrong. this is the hierarchy of the "worlds". I feel really bad now, highly recommended.

nonetheless, you refuse the deeper point. may somebody form the 0th world help you
