Oddly enough, if you take the derivative of f, you get the constant function 0.

Many interpret this to mean that “all memes are derivative”, which is true, but not the cause.

The real cause is that the value of any given meme is equal to the value of any other given meme. Doesn’t matter which one you look at, they all fail to make you laugh.

I’ll label every real number with the integer 1.

Who is harmed by this? No one living. Maybe you could argue Hitler has some right to not have his remains disturbed, but DNA testing isn’t very invasive and we do it at crime scenes without consent all the time, so it’s minor even if relevant.

What could we learn? Nothing of value. Even if there is some “psychopath gene” or “genocide gene” you’d need 100s of examples to show the effect and far easier to just pick such candidates from living, diagnosed people who can consent.

So then should we do it? Probs not. No real reason to, even though there’s little reason not to.

Would

Or say “ok, you got me there. But, two things can be true and I’m here to listen if you have something you want to talk about”

Disclaimer: I have a dream job for me and my experience is probably not representative.

Go on open.kattis.com, pick a problem, solve it. That’s what 40% of my job is like. 20% more is reading through and understanding where the right place for this bit of code to live or what bits of code I should be reusing to make it. Another 20% is discussing with other engineers the tradeoffs of solving a problem with x vs y and picking what to do, and the last 20% is reviewing code, i.e. making sure other people solve their problems correctly and don’t drop a bunch of hack in our tree.

1. Dollar is fucked, national currency is Bitcoin now. Hope you bought some.

2. You all have fought over gender too much, I’m taking it away. They/them for everyone. Using gendered pronouns is a minor offense, but can be considered harassment and/or incitement. All sports leagues are now coed. Bathrooms only have private stalls.

3. If anyone your business employs can demonstrate that they are below the poverty line, it’s getting nationalized. No, you don’t get to know the number before the fed publishes it each quarter.

4. Climate is fucked, and it’s significantly our fault. Gas is now taxed at 2,000%. Meats and well, everything really, is going to be heavily taxed according to carbon footprint. And that will go up until we reach our target net emissions, zero.

5. All elected public officials are executed at the end of their terms.

I will not be reelected, and I will not be taking any questions.

Also does not handle ‘IIIIIIIII’ -> ‘IX’ properly

I have a medical condition that makes it difficult for me to defecate, so doing so often takes 20m or more.

I usually doo on my own time (because, like, ethic or whatever), but even so, this seems actively hostile to me and I wonder if there’s a legal remedy.

Hmmm. But what if fucks aren’t fungible?

Who said anything about using a rubber? Or not? Let’s properly support the people that exist now.

You mad?

Yes, to support everyone on what our economy outputs today will involve the quality of life decreasing for a lot of people. And the economy will have to change, to build the things that people need but are currently unable to pay for. This is unsurprising.

Probably the living space is more to show this is feasible over it being the expected/desired solution. It would be very counterproductive to tear down good houses, but small apartments work well for “house single unhoused people”.

Rural transport is a rounding error compared to the number of private cars that could be converted with minimal fuss in cities.

Why would an export economy be a bad model? They literally have a surplus; all you need to do to fix it is… Make less?

Bitcoin wouldn’t be an awful solution to this, but there’s certainly a few better ones, such as

• Visa and MC just being the opinionless payment providers they ought to be.
• Regulation enforcing all payment providers to be similarly opinionless.
• Ethereum, or another crypto more suited to many, fast payments
• A layer-2 network over Bitcoin that can enable many fast payments, such as the lightning network.

Most of these are good, just for different things. I want waffle fries at the bar; I want shoestring fries at the burger place; I want wedges at the cafe on the corner.

Except the zigzags. I don’t think I’ve ever had a good zigzag.

Maybe something could be hacked together to fix copyright, but further complication there is just going to make accurate enforcement even harder. And we already have Google (in YouTube) already doing a shitty job of it and that’s… One of the largest companies on earth.

We should just kill copyright. Yes, it’ll disrupt Hollywood. Yes it’ll disrupt the music industry. Yes it’ll make it even harder to be successful or wealthy as an author. But this is going to happen one way or the other so long as AI can be trained on copyrighted works (and maybe even if not). We might as well get started on the transition early.

Ah you’re right. Torterra then

I imagine it’ll look like paras

And my toes too, just to be sure

Sounds fun actually

Oh shit it might be working

2.5M sounds ok to me. Even 10M would get the 99.9% of the benefit. The important part is that it’s capped.
