He understands.

So, East Germany, basically, with tech.

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )

& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.

( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )

so, I can’t understand your position.

Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.

Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.

Wasn’t there a competitor named Mattermost?

a FLOSS competitor?

Anybody who pretends that the US hasn’t operated as an empire, there is even a book named “How To Hide An Empire” on it.

That insight ( the link ) of Glubb’s was important.

Please glance at the history backing it, in that table, on that page…

I believe it is partly that the empire-rulers identity becomes sooo completely mis-matched from the actual composition of the empire, that it is an inevitable self-destruction, at that age of its evolution.

1. insightful question,

2. it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.

“once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”

A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).

It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.

Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.

Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…

The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.

“Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.

It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.

Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??

Do it.

Everybody do it.

Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.

I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.

There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.

No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?

Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.

1984, but for-profit.

Sorry for the … dim … view, but it’s been unfolding for a couple decades, & it’s getting blatent, fast.

My comment isn’t on your script, it is on paper-selection…

Please have several, orthogonal, selection-systems:

• most-cited,

• most trustworthy researchers

• most unique area of research, or most unique question, or something

• most central to new tech

• most central to old tech

• most undernoticed, big potential… ( things that should be big news, but the global novelty-addiction ignores it )

• best fundamental science ( definitely include this category! )

• best citizen-science

etc…

iow, the algorithm that most use, which is “paying attention to what others are paying attention to” is an algorithm we shouldn’t be assigning our viability to, you know?

Also, you may need to make a flexible-limit for dumbing-down, as some papers may have a higher limit and others a lower limit, so some could be easy for most to get the sense of, but some might be tricky … and it might well do more good to let them have their different thresholds, see?

it is called “establishing ownership”.

Once their identity is consolidated that way,

then they can enforce their certain-in-their-own-unconscious ownership of Asia, through any violence necessary.

You can see equivalent self-dishonesty in the West, & you can see it in Modi’s delusion that Russia is going to help them against China, even through Russia is financially now a vassal-state of China…

Once the economy guts the Democrats in the US, losing them the 2024 election, & Trump guts NATO, backs Russia & Saudi Arabia,

what is going to protect Asia from China’s smashing it like they did Tibet?

7 years from Trump’s coronation ( in 2025 ) is all Asia has left, it seems.

Establishing ownership is fundamental to bullying, btw: rodents do it, sneaking into places at night, so that they feel righteous when fighting for “their” new territory during the day…

I hadn’t understood that bullying had both a yin/molesting/violating phase & a yang/overt-bullying phase until rodents taught me how it’s done…

The governments who push privacy-violating laws & systems, then later stomp civil-rights, they are demonstrating exactly the same Pattern.

The religions who push for “some” control of everybody’s life, relentlessly pushing for “a little more” authority, then once a tipping-point is crossed, suddenly they can switch from yin-bullying to yang-bullying … same thing.

It’s a really common pattern throughout human history, lately…

All this begs the question:

Why not learn crochet/knitting, & make one’s own, of whatever yarn one wants??

( that will happen, for me: I’m fed-up with things that never fit right, or are wrongly designed )

Obviously, therefore, competing against the system of moneyarchy would be the only possible means of displacing its dominion on the world, so, …

… how come nobody’s doing it properly, or at-scale??

I’m talking about a competing economic-system, not competing against a few companies within moneyarchy’s regime.

: )

I’ve become of 2 minds about leather footwear & gloves:

The primary alternative to leather is plastic, which, when it breaks-down, sabotages the food-web, right?

Leather doesn’t do that.

I honestly don’t know what The Right Answer™ is, on that one, anymore.

I’m usually vegan, btw, not for ideological/religious reasons, but simply because doing otherwise blocks my ability to reach the meditations I need.

I do find butchering animal lives for a mere few-meals unethical, but refugee Buddhist monk Kelsang Gyatso pointed-out in one of his books, IF a person has anemia, THEN the right antidote is eating red meat.

He’s ordained, a Geshe, and he is recommending that right in his dharma.

Years-enduring clothing is a much less desolating consumption than needless meat-eating.

Exactly as that brilliant psychological truth in the Christian bible shows, naive truth, aka symbolic “truth”, is syrupy-sweet in one’s face/mouth, whereas digested & real, experience-induced-understanding Truth, is bitter.

See for yourself:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation 10%3A8-10&version=CJB

Those are the natures of the phases of The Great Filter:

from top to bottom:

• AnimalsAndTribesTime ( the StalkGrowingTime, of the people-of-the-corn, the future LivingPeace time being the FloweringTime, in their prophecies/predictions ), Unconsciously Wasting Opportunity, Potential, Resources, Time, etc ( last few millenia )

• Predicting the inevitable and inescapable circumstances in The Great Filter ( the Christian bible’s “Revelations” and “Daniel” & other stuff, some Indigenous prophecy, like The Great Purification, & the one with the everybody-in-the-forest-is-panicking-and-the-whole-forest-is-burning, which is symbolic, etc… )

• an “Age” ( a “Day” as a thousand years, followed by a “Night” as a thousand years, aka approx 2 millenia ) passes after the earliest of those predictions/prophecies, blossoming into…

• An Industrial Age, industriously butchering the ecology, the climate-basis, EVERYthing, thus enforcing what the scientifically-testable-prediction/prophecy predicted, for possession-of-dollars…

multiple transformations, accelerating, eventually 1 of those becoming a tipping-point, that is…

• The Yin Unravelling, when ignoring/denying and the assumed-entitlement underlying it, “protects” the spiritual/progressive population, while the herd-authority-BULLING factional-supremacists, of all kinds, work at setting-up the decapitation of all governance ( began a few decades ago )

• The Yang Unravelling, when SUDDENLY rampaging military butchery is empire-building globally, and at the end of this phase 4 empires/alliances remain on the world ( this has to do with the unconscious-mind Rule of 3: it isnt possible for a normal limbic or brainstem mind to track more than 3 things, I saw a Nature article on their site about salamanders having this 3-thing-limit, so self+3-others becomes the planetary-limit due to a psychological LAW underlying possibly all vertebrates ).

This stage takes ( on this world ) 7 years. Since I expect this stage to begin in the January of 2025, when Trump is crowned GEOTUS ( this is truly-sad, but if you go to https://www.Wikipedia.org/ and you search for GEOTUS, you will be landed on the Donald Trump page. “GEOTUS” stands for “God Emperor Of The United States”. Exactly what Daniel predicted, back when Buddha was kicking around ) :

Israel is going to be annihilated then.

It is probable that with Trump gutting NATO, & siding with Russia, most of East Europe will become possession of Russia, who, themselves, will be owned by the CCP who financially own Russia, right now, and increasingly, too…

Asia is going to be smashed by CCP, in the Yang Unravelling.

Africa? Smashed by the one that Eternity ( or the meditations dwelling deep within it, whichever ) calls “The Demon King”, turned partly into a worshiping-of-that-king and a mountain-of-murders.

The West? civil-wars, civil “schizophrenia” tearing it to shreds, going nowhere.

• Hammerfall, when ALL enforcement-of-violence, through ALL means, owns EVERYTHING in the world.

This, obviously, is what ww3 aka “The Great Purification” ( Indigenous, 9+ centuries old prophecy/prediction ) or “THE Valley Of Death” refers to.

Because Kessler-Syndrome gets enforced by all sides, the very beginning of Hammerfall phase, then it turns immediately into a grinding war-of-attrition, globally.

It will go on for multiple decades, probably tending-towards 1/2 century.

• Ecological-collapse, of both terrestrial & marine food-webs, is guaranteed late this-century, given our rabid butchery of it, for a few temporary dollars: multiplying the butchery-of-food-web by ww3 makes it impossible that it won’t happen, this century.

I’ve no idea what the proper-naming-of-this-stage’s-essence is, yet.

TimeOfBillionsOfDeaths ( a very-few years, since you can’t postpone nutritional-requirement, unlike a particular-territory’s-battle ) would be a sane name for that phase, but Eternity will speak its meaning, whenever it does.

• Some kind of transformation happens, later, but the war-of-attrition continues grinding, until factional-herdbeast-bulling-supremacism is extinguished, whether anybody-else survives, or not, planetwide…

• I expect no more than 1.5% of humankind to be living into next-century’s possible, but not guaranteed “LivingPeace”.

Both Jewish & Christian bibles contradict me, saying 1/3rd survive Hammerfall & TimeOfBillionsOfDeaths, but … they don’t actually identify what fraction survives the whole thing, do they?

The Christian version only identifies that 2/3rds of the planet’s population dies, during some part of the whole catastrophy.

Therefore, 1 or the other is guaranteed to be wrong, simply because you can’t have 2 identical-fractions of death for 2 different scopes of time, around this century… the scope that includes more of the butchery, all the phases, should have a higher-number, arithmetically, right?

The names I’m certain-of, I didn’t invent: they just were, themselves, and I eventually either found them, in the Eternity-dwelling meditations, or was told them, and they fit.

Like when somebody pointed-out that the term translated in Christian bibles’ Revelations as “harlot” and “whore” is also “strumpet”, in Rev’s referring to “the Jezebel”.

( check any thesaurus of English for the truth of that, btw )

Anyways, since you actually cared to understand, I hope this clarifies what I currently find to be true, whether it proves-out or not.

Kaizen requires that one relentlessly improve one’s current-view based-on-evidence, right?

& Scientific Method requires letting the evidence speak its Truth, right?

: )

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, Hoomin!

I only glanced at that, & saw the ascendency/supremacy items…

Any moron can see that the dark-pentad…

{ Narcissism; Machiavellianism; Psychopathy; Nihilism; Sadism }

…is being more-and-more explored & pushed by various factional-supremacists throughout our world…

“Mutually Assured Destruction” … is ONLY a deterrant when BOTH sides DON’T assume that God is going to obediently reward them for “martyring” themselves, with other-souls/CellsOfGod made into personal-slaves for them, for all Eternity.

Hamas’s aim is Mutually Assured Destruction: Nihilism, with religious-reward from the GiverOfAllSouls supposedly rewarding them for their Nihilism-enforcement.

The “Christian” apocalyptic-nihilists are on the same wavelength, btw.

The Yang Unravelling stage of this Great Filter either has begun, or is about-to begin, between now & spring 2025…

There should be only 4 factions/empires left on the planet by 2033, and then the Hammerfall stage of The Great Filter begins, and should last for about 1/2 or so century, before terrestrial & marine food-webs collapse… maybe less than 1/2 century, but it won’t be a mere-decade…

For all who believe that ICBM’s are going to settle everything in mere-days, Kessler Syndrome is going to rip the rug out from all aerospace force-projection, right in the 1st few hours, if not minutes, of Hammerfall-stage.

It’s like hollering into a building hurricane: nobody is going to believe ANY of this, until it has already become historical-fact, and even-then, it’ll be denied by the world’s majority: ideological-addiction/prejudice is a drug stronger than crack?

Non-objectivity is a mental-illness our cultures have made their beloved-drugs. And our lives are going to pay the price for that ignoring/denying, a thousandfold.

There is an error that many in the dispute are making…

Imagine that BORG-AI is an ai that was trained ONLY on GPL2 program-code…

Imagine that you use it to fill-in some functions in your codebase…

What sort of copyright-status should be on those??

I say they should be GPL2, and they should be considered derivative of the ENTIRE training-data-set.

That doesn’t mean I think that the BORG-AI should be a copyright holder, though!

I’m saying that there should be a NEW category, between uncopyrighted & copyrighted, and that the training-sets need to be segregated by license, so that derivatives CAN know what their legal licensing-status is.

GPL2, GPL3, BSD, LGPL2, whatever… it needs to be consistent within the training-data-set, so that the derivative of THAT module/expert can be having the same license, see?

The collapse of the economy is going to gut that: 2024 won’t be won by the Democrats.

I hadn’t forseen the 17-month suspension-from-traiding put on Evergrande group, but that didn’t prevent them from losing, oh, 2 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE of value, on the day they began trading again…

You simply can’t remove the anti-financial-crisis-rules, as Trump did, without enabling financial-crisis-2, which is going to have Citadel simply disappear, instead of paying for the naked-shorting it’s been doing…

Whatever: nobody believes that the current-conditions are real, so why bother trying to communicate that the progression-from-now-to-inevitable-consequences is real, right?

The Republicans win 2024, due to backlash, and then their “Red Caesar” dictatorship plan decapitates “democracy” from the US in early 2025, and then … then the ocean-of-butchery begins.

This is, obviously, a testable prediction: simply wait & see.

I expect there to be about 260 million slaughtered in the 14 years beginning with 2025, in North America, not including those who die fighting in ww3, only including those who died in the internal war(s) & the natural-disasters of this accelerating ClimatePunctuation time.

Simply wait & see: science is made of testable predictions, and the tests that either falsify 'em or fail to falsify 'em.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen.
