woodchipper suggests that each piece in the chipper is identifiable as it goes in, i.e. the carryover buffer size is large enough to identify pieces of the source.

I’m talking about a buffer size of 1 bit. Literally a 1 or a 0. It’s as identifiable as a coin flip.

the reference never changed position in memory, so nothing actually happened during the teleportation process other than a re-labelling.

For real teleportation, that memory has to physically change position. I would do it gradually though, bit-by-bit, synchronized, and very fast.

The idea is that if you slow it down, you witness half-yourself getting destroyed exactly as you witness your other half getting created, with the only carry-over being a single 1 or a 0

I did the same, but came to a different conclusion.

The idea that you’re tethered to your future self by imagination, and it to you by mere memory is a profound one.

It solidifies slightly better the idea that you should do right to yourself if you believe in doing right to others.

Yes, same, and well described

I tried reading Infinite Jest for the first time.

In a pre-LLM world, this kind of word waffling nonsense would seem impressive, but as someone who picked it up to see what it’s about in a post-LLM world… I have few good things to say about this style of pointless writing.

It’s something that I used to excel at too: a long litany of rhythmically satisfying prose that showcased your penchant for picking out the perfect words to soothe the literary soul whilst saying absolutely nothing at the same time.

Then I learned how to write to clear English, and realised that I valued plot over filler most of all in a story.

I’m sorry, Mr Wallace, I just can’t read your book any more.

the kindest lie: “Yes here’s that shoe in size 5, but due to a mislabelling it prints size 7, I hope that’s okay…”

It was a good insight into how the lightbulb dimming tech of the 80s/90s worked. Also why the dimmer switches back then were so dangerous with the capacitor likely just a few mm’s away from the light switch which might not have been properly wired because UK homes back then didn’t run a neutral back from the switch, but daisy-chained the switch and the bulb together and then ran the neutral back from the bulb

My friend and lover, Imperial Leather, begs to differ.

You could slap that label on a tank and send to to the front and it’d come back intact

Thanks for the interesting read. Real nifty little timing/switching circuit!

they should put the percentages inside the buckets, but raw counts underneath. I have no idea if Florida is smaller than Nebraska

I cant wait to hear about his chronic flatulence and the medley of pills and injections he’s on to keep him alert

Ohhh! I thought it was 3 in 3 out, okay 1 in 5 out is a bit better though I hope you’re not daisy chaining any further than that

that’s beautiful, thanks for sharing that

pick up chair and place in corner, shove all the non box stuff on the table, shove the box stuff onto a box pile nearly under the desk, wind the cables into circles and throw them into a bag unsorted, release the postman from the basement, straighten all peripherals, and don’t send the F2a family visa until you’re ready
