I spent a major portion of the years where you're supposed to be learning how to feel and think like other humans programming and studying computers instead. Plus I'm autistic. So um sometimes treating my brain like a computer actually works. It's not entirely like a regular human's brain... shhh 🤫

Next time I should request my thoughts be stored in nonvolatile RAM rather than gradually draining away naturally (which can take longer), oops. And I guess I can provide a dream prompt and RNG seed so I don't just get a rewrite of whatever events were just happening. Noted... I'll try to remember.

Yes. And standardization! I have two cells labeled 18650 with slightly different operating voltages 🙃 (internal polarity protection diode causing a bit of voltage drop maybe?)

Being a human is an absurdly dismal moral learning experience anyway. We are raised by monsters to be monsters, and if we become slightly less monstrous by the time we die, then that is a great achievement , and about the best moral trajectory anyone can hope for

A significant portion of my C-PTSD comes from just being raised in a very religious setting, even one that emphasized God's love and living harmoniously. There's still weird obsessions with forces of evil and sin and damnation, plus anti-autonomy and anti-sexuality galore

I miss having AAs etc that I could just recharge regularly and use with everything. Plus, the hazards of Li-ion seem like they'd be easier to deal with if they weren't permanently attached to the devices they power

Yeah, like there's some variation in behavior in some of the battery interface chips I've seen, but the discharging and charging cutoff voltages are basically standard because of the underlying chemistry. It shouldn't be hard to make easy to swap & manage battery systems

Battery management circuit should be part of the module. Whole module gets swapped. Something like USB3 power negotiation for the interface to the device itself. DIY replacement of cells in the module should be an option with the right tools and expertise. Is anybody working on this? 🤔

Microsoft is trying to make us all type like trump

(Google voice typing does weird capitalizations too, but it assumes you're referencing brand names and popular media every other word I think?)

maybe it's this? apparently google is having a lot of 0-day vulns now? are they vibecoding at googleplex...

dealing with constantly downloading and installing packages is really fucking annoying, even with the helper script I have now. bandwidth abuse

chrome itself malfunctioned in an absurd way, also. upon restart, it seems like every tab I had open triggered a popup window alerting me certain google "apps" were going to stop supporting my "outdated" chrome (which was updated only a few weeks ago)

Brain might have been filtering out what it thought were stray signals until it realized they weren't, and you might have strong "neurological upstream flow" as I call it

Random question but if you read about someone getting hurt in a book does your body respond to it?

but will inch closer to wherever they need to go to make it happen. So you'll have to keep tugging this "box", this border at the edge between perception and action, through repeated nudges, but eventually the thousands of parts of your brain will find their way to new positions. So I keep guiding!

Swype used to be great before they sold out to @microsoft.com (now it's called SwiftKey and has buttons on the popup bar for Bing and Copilot that I don't want, but I don't think those buttons can be disabled... Grrrr)

Eg I keep a food log so I can make sure I am eating enough (sometimes my stomach forgets to get hungry when it's time to eat). I buy and consume cinnamon raisin bagels with some regularity. Yet after typing "cinnamon", it always suggests "rolls" (I've rarely typed that!) not "bagels"

I long to see people like that using their power to empower others and using their smarts to educate others. And by others, I specifically mean prioritizing those who lack adequate access to fair opportunities and good education.

In contrast: I'm deeply unimpressed by self-serving social elites.

They are often the best rated by the Better Rizzness Bureau

Systemic discrimination due to race often leads to personal bias against someone due to race but calling both racism leads to confusion. I think if you want to fight racism, it really helps to look at the actual mechanism and the level of threat it carries, more than analyze definitions people use
