@sondreolav 👀 I‘d like to go for a weeklong farm house ale brewery walk in Voss next year. Or somewhere else. Participating in brewing day. Do you know someone?

We invite our former employees to a nice dinner each year: the alumni event. Today is such a day. Looking forward to see faces from the past!

Simulation theory: I dicovered an information theory paradoxon. Perfect entropy makes it impossible to figure out how the simulation works from the inside because there‘s no space for leaky abstractions. „Impurities“ (too much order or too much chaos) on the other hand leave space for interpretation about the simulation environment. If leaky abstractions give you information about the environment, don‘t they also increase entropy in the simulation? The paradoxon is: less entropy in the world leads to a more interesting universe because there is more simulation potential. So once again it matters from where you measure.

I‘m inviting to #Zurich for the 20 years anniversary of #Ruby on Rails:

Meetup

20 Years of Rails, Wed, Jul 24, 2024, 6:00 PM | Meetup

Hello Rubyists The Rails Foundation celebrated the 20 years anniversary of Rails last year using the inception date of the framework. As if you co...

I just counted our reusable drinking bottles: 39 (not counting baby bottles) Sometimes I‘m shocked by how much things-turnover my grown-up 4 person household accounts for. As a student I basically consumed cereals and beer and I literally owned one single set of cutlery.

The gray in #Rapperswil is becoming more blue by the minute.

Is there an animal which has a wrong fur direction?

All that talk about fame… come on, you‘re on nostr. I never understood the „social“ in digital social networks anyways. nostr is infrastructure, the use are not, and not even the maintainers.

AI parallels exploration: Like the reformation. The catholic church has a firm grip on books and knowledge. The printing press allows for never seen distribution of knowledge. Reformation splits whole societies. Both have sides having the same access to information, but different interpretion context.

Just listened to Joe Rogan 2156 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0RMUNGWB0P22Ka6E71zV5b) Follow-up thoughts: AI promises unlimited information. Nuclear energy promised unlimited energy. How do we not have unlimited energy today? If this parallel was valid, I‘d lay it out like this: - The first atom bomb was THE thing because it was used in the real world and we perceived it discretly. - Scaling (building more powerful bombs) is comparatively easy. - But it‘s not obvious how to control and distribute useful civil applications. These engineering problems cannot just be solved theoretically. The solutions have to be acted out. - We may not accept unlimited information because they come from simulated truths which have not been acted out (yet). - So we‘ve probably got more time than some of us software-hybritians think. Bonus questions: - At which interfaces is Bitcoin connected to the real world? - Does Bitcoin behave differently in the Matrix?

The opposite of YEStrday is NOstrday.

Simulation theory: - Total chaos is Hell (all exactly and recognizingly random) - Total order is Hell (all zeroes or all ones) What is is Heaven? The Game of Life providing a stable end state showing a pattern like a pulsator? What is life? The Game of Life not yet in an end state

Simulation theory: God is the one who can distinguish between good and evil. Providing the playground for information playing out. Creator of the automated tests. Go and implement! *feeling the sudden urge to watch The Matrix again*
