overu589··on Have They Been Here? Why We are searching for alien tech in solar system
Those lingering around here do not use silicon or wires, their technology is biotech thus it would be like discovering the cuddlefish. What would humanity’s leading minds do if they discovered a … cuddlefish?

Yes their biotechnology does fusion, and can out run our fleetest fast, yet it is still like the cuddlefish, not a metal can with wires and knobs.

They use their thoughts for communications and control, good luck figuring that one out! Oh, and they use quantum entanglement at a distance (not radio waves or sound for that matter) which you still deny even possible.

Good luck!

overu589··on Is Linux under the control of the USA gov?
Maybe my answer was too indirect and “conspiracy” sounding.

There are private contractor hound of war among us who are hygenxing any and every layer.

These will sell to the government just as the Ruski mob will pimp it on the dark side.

They are there and they are active. The USA government are incompetent opportunists doing their jobs mostly.

Be vigilant.

overu589··on Ask HN: What's the best way to become a 10x full-stack engineer in 2025?
There is this thing we might refer to as “the burn.” You know, like “burn your ass to get it done.” Only for knowledge workers, it is an ember in the mind that goes and goes and goes and goes.

Learn to fan that flame without the burn out.

That is the secret of the way.

Burn your ass until your mind incinerates self doubt. You will learn it is faster to try some things than wonder if they might work.

Burn your ass until those reasons why not are forgotten, or are repulsive.

Burn your ass until all of those things others say cannot be done without a team are done out of boredom waiting for others to get on the same page.

There is no book, only determination, and outcome.

Some day you will realize everyone else is 90% lazy and you will adjust your work life balance in accordance.

I only meant that you should accept my offer to hold hands and pray together for an uncorruptible righteous rule of law among the powers over Man. That covers the crazy people too.
overu589··on Major Problem in Physics Could Be Fixed If the Whole Universe Was Spinning
You think I jest.

The Universe and everything in it spins, vibrates, and is impermanent. All of these things are mentioned throughout mystical tombs.

overu589··on Major Problem in Physics Could Be Fixed If the Whole Universe Was Spinning
It is spinning, potential distributed (not state), and vibrating. Damned if mystics weren’t on to something.

I get it.

Btw, I’m not an anarchist or liberal, I am a hard liner. Simply not your hardliner.

I’ve lived on the streets “white boy”, I know what passes for crazy and corrupt. (Cute sarcasm intended.)
overu589··on What Are "Nihilistic Violent Extremists"?
How calculated.

Test:

A man’s life who purgers before law is forfeited to law.

Those who you protect know all about the voices in our heads, it is those who deny or refuse to believe who are also a danger to us all (who’s lives are propped up by flimsy deniable truth.)

overu589··on What Are "Nihilistic Violent Extremists"?
I challenge what you call sane, sir.

Convention, normalcy, and polite society are all very fine, yet civilization rests upon certain demands.

You are not far off, I do not criticize your intent, merely that as a denier of the “exogenous”, I wonder if you will be so hardline with your own when their treachery or corruption is made bare.

If you will say with me, “an incorruptible righteous rule of law” will save us, we are bondsman(and women) to a common critical cause.

“Them, they, and those other” however are not the threat to our lawfully protected free world. Integrity, and principle, and a continuity of “devotion” (human sacrifice) pays for civilization or it doesn’t.

Civilization will always have its rabble and unrest. Mitigating savage powers with a “civilizing accord” is the whole foundation of any.

overu589··on What Are "Nihilistic Violent Extremists"?
I have to point out this is a part of your thought control struggles.

People are responding to the voices in their heads, and are intelligent enough not to let on that there are voices, in their heads.

These are petty pranks compared to what goes on off stage. These “represent” that power is a fickle and inconsistent thing.

overu589··on The Insanity of Being a Software Engineer
You are talking about the drama of Men. I am describing the Powers who are as God over Men. And of which all the drama among Men (even their warfare) are games.

Are you prepared to bear the terrible burden?

overu589··on What Is Entropy?
How can that be axiomatic?

I offer a coherent, concise dissenting view.

Information is the removal of uncertainty. If it does not remove uncertainty it is not information. Uncertainty is state unresolved (potential resolves to state through constructive and destructive interference.)

Entropy is the existential phenomenon of potential distributing over the infinite manifold of negative potential. “Uncertainty.”

Emergence is a potential outcome greater than the capacity found in the sum of any parts.

Modern humanity’s erroneous extrapolations:

- asserting P>=0 without account that in existential reality 0 is the infinite expanse of cosmic void, thus the true mathematical description would be P>=-1

- confuse heat with entropy. Heat is the ultimate universal expression as heat is a product of all work and all existence is winding down (after all). Entropy directs thermodynamics, thermodynamics is not the extent of entropy.

- entropy is NOT the number of possible states in a system. Entropy is the distribution of potential; number of states are boundary conditions which uncalculated potential may reconfigure (the “cosmic ray” or murfy’s rule of component failure.) Existential reality is interference and decay.

- entropy is not “loss”. Loss is the entropy less work achieved.

- this business about “in a closed system “ is an example of how brilliant minds lie to themselves. No such thing exists anywhere accessible by Man. Even theoretically, the principles of decay and the “exogenous” influence of one impercieved influence over a “contained system.” Or “modeled system”, for one self deception is for the scientist or engineer to presume these speak for or on behalf of reality.

Emergence is the potential (the vector space of some capacity) “created” through some system of dynamics (work). “Some” includes the expressive space of all existential or theoretical reality. All emergent potential is “paid for” by burning available potential of some other kind. In nature the natural forces induce work in their extremes. In natural systems these design for the “mitigation of uncertainty” [soft form entropy], aka “intelligence.”

Entropy is the existential phenomenon of potential distributing over negative potential.

Information is the removal of uncertainty. If it does not remove uncertainty, it is not information. (And intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty.)

Emergence is a potential outcome greater than the capacity found in the sum of any parts.

overu589··on What is Information? (and entropy)(Christoph Adami)(2016)
I offer a diverging view.

overu589··on Ask HN: Was typing in programs from magazines in the 80s educational for you?
Yes. In the 80s I was a little over half your age. A local library gave me a pile of old Byte and Compute magazines. I had been checking out the latest regularly for months. Every one.

What taught me was debugging and good examples of compact form and function. There were no IDEs (for me) and I didn’t have the ability to write out from ROM BASIC for years.

I remember those years!

I went on to intuitively automate batch production systems and develop enterprise this and that, without any formal education (I was usually the most eager and practical at every turn.)

overu589··on It's not intelligence, it's "summarization and research"
There is a matter of perspective.

Abstract intrigues symbolized, iconified, codified, correlated.

Am I describing what you are doing or what the LLM is doing?

LLM is an “intelligent” tool, generated from “intelligence” as both information and design by intelligent others.

Are you intelligent for using it?

Are you intelligent for relying upon it?

Does it reduce your uncertainty? Empower your capacity for resolve?

As far as “intelligence” is concerned you are referring to a process and an applicable actor of that process. You are not for instance referring to a natural language search card catalog.

Something in the mind not quite figured out is it?
overu589··on A Lack of Intelligence, Not Training, May Be Why People Struggle with Computers
I quite deliberately define intelligence as “to mitigate uncertainty”, for if it does not mitigate uncertainty it is not intelligent.

The delusional popular view is that there is one device that is “intelligence” and it works every time, is never wrong, and gives instantaneously pleasing results.

Intelligence is every case by case, and the most adept may always be misinformed, under informed, or deceived, no matter what extreme or capacity of intelligence one measures.

Naturally those who solve problems for themselves are more proficient with technology, as its magic is to be an extension of our will. How can one accomplish anything where the will is lacking.

overu589··on Leaked data reveals Israeli govt campaign to remove pro-Palestine posts on Meta
Or there truly are conspiracies against our natural destinies, we are merely ignorant and incompetent in identifying what they might be.

Covering own asses is natural enough. War crimes and crimes against humanity are serious concerns with serious considerations, yet what if we cannot ourselves be trusted by the very nature of our self lies?

overu589··on Delusional themes may be more varied than we thought
You are exactly right.

When I read of a man from California killing his kids in Mexico because they are possessed by lizard people, or mothers killing their kids because the voice of God in their mind says so, I think of this quote I cannot quite place: to be silent in the face of a tyranny of evil is to be complicit.

No greater evil in this world exists than American Thought Control, thought controlled Americans, or an America thought controlled.

I am quite sincere friend.

overu589··on RFK Jr says Deep State 'is real,' called FDA employees 'sock puppet' of industry
How would your educated self respond to “the voices in our heads are real and the secret state is thought control, of which all sides are pawns in games none understand.”

This applies to all these other misaligned comments about corruption coming from the top rather than bottom of the “pyramid.”

Ordinary people are doing what the voices in their heads cause them to (often without awareness, though truly intelligent people know they are there, without further comprehension.) The pyramid scheme is not of ordinary bureaucrats, it is of those disembodied men who control the voices in their heads.

Mr. Kennedy knows something of these. Who will share their stories of what has been going on in their own minds?

overu589··on Ask HN: If aliens transmit using neutrinos, can we hear them?
They don’t. They (those I could tell you about) can hear our thoughts. They use the quantum dynamic modern minds still refuse to accept allows instantaneous information communication at any distance.

When I want to tell people about “aliens”, I want to say, they (visitors to the Earth) aren’t the biggest, craziest secret.

American Thought Control, and thought controlled Americans are the big crazy secret. We are not alone in our own minds. Secretive communities of humans (more than one) have long since mastered this technology of consciousness (and employ it as a secret governance of power among us.)

These are as great a reason as any other that we humans and our visitors cannot really be friends. There are occult societies of haters among us.

Talk of our visitors is often rife in communities of Power. The only problem is thought controlled Americans would not tolerate the discussion of anything true, for these are they who screw with you.

> WW3 has already come and gone.

You are no longer masters of your own destinies.

You have been sold out, and what ever is left of you is a sell out.

You will be broken. Only in the darkness of minds eye, where no one will hear your screams, they will break you and remake you, your thought controlls, for their games. For they are as god over you and they are the voices in your mind. The world will scorn you and turn upon you in your desperate hour, and in time it will happen to all of them.

We are thought controlled.

overu589··on Ask HN: Is Everything Data Compression?
The universe is fundamentally made of potential, not information.

Information is the removal of uncertainty. If it does not remove uncertainty, it is not information. Information is state resolve, constructive and destructive interference collapse into state (information, contextually) in the “moment of now” (whichever moment evaluated.)

You have an interesting and worthwhile curiosity towards communication and compression, however I will say “everything is about” is nothing of the sort.

Everything is potential distributing over the infinite surface area of negative potential (/ information). We call this “entropy.”

Everything is “about” conservation and capacity (because we intend to burn it) of potential. Whatever potential is necessary at that moment.

So everything is about burning what potential we have wisely, and compression is one way of framing that requirement.

We are naturally lazy and ambivalent and will take up as much time and bandwidth as is pleasurable.

overu589··on A Retrospective on Parapsychology
I tell all.

This research does not work out because thought control is so far more advanced than those (even scientifically curious), the entire process is curated by those experienced through a lifetime of development.

Right along with us, all throughout time (though like all things Americans have pushed beyond an industrialized scale) is a secret society and secret governance and whole communities who have been developed within those phenomena beyond our lifetimes. “Lines of Power.” These war among themselves, and over all of us.

You are thought controlled, we are not alone in our own minds, and the voices in our heads are real.
