hysteresis added to avoid behavioral flickering

six-word sci-fi

And the laborer who for 12 hours long, weaves, spins, bores, turns, builds, shovels, breaks stone, carries hods, and so on – is this 12 hours’ weaving, spinning, boring, turning, building, shovelling, stone-breaking, regarded by him as a manifestation of life, as life? Quite the contrary. Life for him begins where this activity ceases, at the table, at the tavern, in bed. The 12 hours’ work, on the other hand, has no meaning for him as weaving, spinning, boring, and so on, but only as earnings, which enable him to sit down at a table, to take his seat in the tavern, and to lie down in a bed. If the silk-worm’s object in spinning were to prolong its existence as caterpillar, it would be a perfect example of a wage-worker.

this is more because the paradigms according to which we understand how 2 philosophy were inherited from/filtered thru to us from Europe, and we have NO idea how to approach it otherwise, and won’t take seriously attempts to do so bc they aren’t parsable via our validation criteria

Ontology, whatever else it is, is usually just forgotten infrastructure.

this is what I’m constantly saying about software systems

I wanna write software where you can give a computer a camera pointed at some physical outputs it has and it deduces (perhaps with helpful nudges) the inverse transform necessary to produce apparent front-on images from the camera’s perspective

bonus points if it can figure out approximate gamma curves and calibrate color response

primary questions are "what space of transforms?" and "what about convergence?" which are related and really hard to answer

I have preliminary results for the 1D case and (an imprecisely delineated subset of) monotonic polynomial transforms but when will I find the time to do this properly

why would you make yr home on the outskirts of a small town, 80 flights of staircases into the air

when I'm so weighed down w/ bag stuff I can barely reach the lowest handhold

and I forgot part of me and [untranslatable? literally, "missed and book"]

I need to fax or telephone the answer to the past

What are your lines? What map are you in the process of making or rearranging? What abstract line will you draw, and at what price, for yourself and for others?
