Am I the only one here who thinks Neuromancer was complete ass?

Gibson's writing style felt like an ADHD twelve year old on meth. My eyes nearly fucking popped out of my skull trying to follow him from one point to the next.

Why do you guys suck its dick so much?

is very enclose, a lot of discribtions of people and casuses because it was the goal itself.

It's 'maximalist' (prose style), but syntactically efficient (not flowery). We is an early classic in the genre – RUR (Rossum's Universal Robots) by Capek is under-credited for coining "robots" an AI luddite themes in lit.

the book specifically referred to the techno-gods as Loa. That's a voodoo concept, not a rastafarian one. Rastafarianism is basically a black-exclusive version of catholicism with weed, where Voodoo is a mix of elements of catholicism with african tribal paganism.

>Why do you guys suck its dick so much?

I was writing science fiction (more space themed) and my friend who was proofreading it told me to read Neuromancer because I write sort of like him even though I never read Neuromancer or anything from Gibson. Neither of my main characters are hackers.

>Gibson's writing style felt like an ADHD twelve year old on meth.

So if this means jumping from one POV to the other, except I mark POV character jumps, should I take this as a good thing or a bad thing.

Epic misunderstanding.Everything is stored in base 2 anyway. There are 255 extended ASCII characters because 2^8 = 255. Not base 255. Unicode is similar (with more bytes per character) except not all unicode code points are yet defined. Nothing is base 16,581,375 nor would representing things in a base like that be practical or /cyber in anyway

He might be using "base" incorrectly, but what he is trying to say is that intentionally handicapping your truecolor monitor to monochrome scale only removes information from screen.

I'm also not sure where number 16,581,375 comes from, he probably meant 16,777,215 (2^24 for three 8-bit channels).

Anyone old enough to have used this? Anyone old enough to have used this and ACTUALLY used this?

QUBE was an experimental two-way, multi-programmed cable television system that played a significant role in the history of American interactive television. It was launched in Columbus, Ohio, on December 1, 1977. Highly publicized as a revolutionary advancement, the QUBE experiment introduced viewers to several concepts that became central to the future development of TV technology: pay-per-view programs, special-interest cable television networks, and interactive services.

TL;DR it was an early Cable Service owned by Warner that introduced a lot of the concepts of contemporary cable and though an example of Pay TV, they seem to have not developed the push for it.

You could make some serious brouzouf if you got some psilocybe cubensis spores and grew those on some rice or what have you. The investment would be almost nothing and people will spend enormous amounts of brouzouf on them. Unfortunately you'd need a large network to make it viable for a long time as most users only take it sporadically. The chance of LE involvement is near zero considering that mushrooms are never a priority.

But I have a home server setup, a desktop running OpenBSD, a desktop running Artix, and currently waiting for the Raptor Blackbird arriving to have a third desktop, though not so sure what I'm running on it. Probably will end up being some homelab setup for testing/learning sysadmin stuff.

I am sure this all sounded pretty 水 to you, but spending thousands on a workstation you dont know what you will do with is ill advised. Sys admin stuff on a.work station with an obscure arch doesn't make much sense - 1 you should probably be doing work on a server via ssh from any laptop and 2 you probably want that server to use a common arch while training so you know issues you encounter are your own doing not bugs in an experimental arch. That talos is an expensive ssh terminal or an untested, obscure server either way not prime training material.

All that said Talos is 水水水. And i am glad someone is buying them. We needmore machined like this.

No you aren't you fucking larper, the nazi party died in 45.

>I'll be getting 2077

I will play it too at some point, my post was obviously an exaggeration. The point is, it could have been better, especially:

1. The gun mechanics which by what I've seen are aimed at 8 yo kids who are impressed by lots of sparks, smoke and that "badass" jerky unrealistic reloading animation that's on every other modern normalfag game for some reason.

2. Having a large amount of women and flaming homos, rather than something like the original Deus Ex in which rebels were either poor mercenaries risking their lives to make some brouzouf to survive, or normal people who just wanted to end the actual misery that was all around them dressed in a bit of tactischway gear.

3. Having too many gimicky interactions with the environment that aren't interesting, funny nor increase immersion, and are done in the same "badass" jerky style of animation that I mentioned above. At least in Quake 4 they were just an excuse to show more gore scenes.

4. The character being a bullet sponge and healing by itself because of some nano-augmentation bullshit excuse they'll make so normalfags don't get frustrated by dying.

5. I'm calling it now: the dialogue and storyline will be less reactive to the choices the player makes than the original Deus Ex. You will get the typical 3 endings you can choose from at the end and that's it. Maybe you will be able to choose which ones and in which order you do the missions, like in the GTA series. Police will be retarded so you can have fun killing random people as long as you wait a bit for the wanted state to go away. Bodies will be made of indestructible rubber, no gore other than a little blood.

6. The plot will be kosher copy-paste bullshit from century old themes (muh corporations and government composed mainly of white people with no slanted noses, muh vibrant diverse revolutionaries, muh Ayy Ai turning against its creator) with no interesting aspects or depth whatsoever.

Anything to substantiate that claim? That rumor has been floating around since the game was announced, but outside of the fact that CDPR was given a grant by the Polish government to "research seamless multiplayer" I haven't seen anything to confirm it will be a feature in CP2077. Last year the devs seemed pretty adamant that they were focusing on the single-player experience.

KILLER robots will be an “existential human threat” unless manufacturers are slapped with strict regulations, an AI expert has warned.

By David Rivers / Published 29th June 2019

Dr Ian Pearson, an ex-cybernetics engineer, says our species risks a future "robot uprising".

The futurologist said manufacturers who do not follow guidelines risk leaving robots to turn against us.

He told Daily Star Online: "Military robots obviously would be able to kill people, but only a few.

"To be an existential threat, there would need to be many millions of them that have become a threat without anyone noticing, and that seems unlikely.

"Although again, it assumes a modicum of intelligence in regulation.

"Robots plus online AI is a different threat. Online AI could possibly shut down or sabotage human defences while turning our defences on ourselves in coordination with a robot uprising.

Recently I have been taking UAs and had my levels checked for several chemicals. Turns out my creatine levels were extremely low. There are several reasons why this could be the case, however it is probably related to the fact that I work out three on two off and that I donate plasma twice a week.

This lead me to taking a powder supplement which brought about some increases in my ability to sprint and quickly lift slightly. Most of all it's reduced my fatigue and recovery time from both activities.

The only way for it to mess up your kidney's is if you take a LOT, the majority of what you take is filtered out of body but I wouldn't be concerned unless you were mixing it with another chemical. That's what I've read.

Hey guys I'm a 19 year old digital nomad living in Eastern Europe (but from America). I launched my first website, Tiblar. It's sort of like Tumblr but has lax rules and more privacy conscious (no ads, no external javascript/css, no logs). Here's a profile with the cyberpunk theme:

https://tiblar.com/neuromancer/

The main page: https://tiblar.com/

Any feedback would be awesome. I'm working on a JavaScript free + hidden service version. Open source will come when I'm satisfied with everything. It's still in beta so more features are coming.

yeah because I don't want just 5 people to use my service.

There's already so many distributed platforms. Which is more popular/works better: Matrix or Discord, YouTube or PeerTube, ZeroNet or the regular net, Bitcoin or PayPal, Twitter or Mastodon, etc. I figure I can ensure better privacy and more normie friendly use will have better results. Honestly most centralized services would be fine if they took basic steps to ensure user privacy.

If it was good, a lot of people would use it, certainly more than 5 people. A lot of people use Tor. Being good is a sufficient but not necessary condition for lots of people using your service.

The only reason to care about the number of users over everything else is brouzouf, in which case your jewish ass can go back to hacker news or whatever.

>There's already so many distributed platforms.

No there aren't, at least not anonymous ones. Freenet is the only one that meets those requirements but it doesn't nail the decentralized moderation aspects.

>Which is more popular/works better: Matrix or Discord, YouTube or PeerTube, ZeroNet or the regular net, Bitcoin or PayPal, Twitter or Mastodon, etc.

Who cares? If you want something that "works well" (as long as you are a good goy) and you don't care that they can censor you, spy on you or ban you and delete all your data at any moment then you can use those services that already exist.

>I figure I can ensure better privacy and more normie friendly use will have better results.

You can not ensure better privacy. First because you can not provide any proof you aren't spying on your users, and second because if your service actually gets popular you will not be able to withstand legal pressure from feds and CIA agents networking with your company and getting their agents hired as employees to infiltrate your facilities and plant malware on the servers.

>Honestly most centralized services would be fine if they took basic steps to ensure user privacy.

I bet you think VPNs make you anonymous and duckduckgo doesn't share your search logs with anyone. But post again when you stop being so naive though.

Absolutely yes. Without root: android is a bot fucking net. A honeypot for google. In latest android versions it forces you to use google apps, you can't even remove them. So, with root you can securely remove Gappsl , you can use microG (fake google services), use iptables rules on apps (firewall), you can even install kali nethunter on it. Some autists here saying "don't use smart phone" which is nothing but cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.

<LET'S DO SOME INFOSEC WORK SHAZBOTS

This is a new series I am going to make based on the products collectively known as Automatic License Plate Readers (aka ALPRs). There is a lot of mystery and myth surrounding this technology as well as methods of effectively evading it, if any exist at all. Collectively I am confident we can find a solution to the Automated threat

>inb4 if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear

Fuck you.

>What is it?

"Typically, ALPR systems are comprised of high-speed cameras connected to computers that photograph every license plate that passes. The photo is converted to letters and numbers, which are attached to a time and location stamp, then uploaded to a central server. This allows police to identify and record the locations of vehicles in real time and also identify where those vehicles have been in the past. Using this information, police could establish driving patterns for individual cars. The type of data ALPRs collect, analyze, and access often depends on what kind of systems they use and how they combine the data."

>Why the concern?

Much like Stringrays (cell towerspoofing MITM devices used by LEO) a few years back, these devices are essentially unregulated. When used by private parties have been they have been able to scan up to 8k license plates in a single day, according to only one study. These databases are up for sale, much like cell location data. The data recorded includes GPS location, scan coordinates, and timestamp. Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

they are only in high visibility spots on the main street in my town. im guessing thats SOP. so good luck with any of that. i was thinking vaseline. you cant tell the camera is damaged by looking at it, so it would take a city worker to notice after a photo comes in and then do something about it. who knows? that whole process might just be automated, and they might not find out for awhile.

Okay, first of all, before you guys get your panties in a bunch and tell me that this isn't like the other topics, or whatever, I'm letting you know ahead of time that I am new here. I did lurk for a bit, and I found a few posts, and a thread or two that fell on similar lines. Plus, you can see it says Science Fiction right up at the top.

Hey, guys! What if, and hear me out, what if maybe the Singularity already happened and we are all being governed by an artificial intelligence in an Augmented Reality?! That could explain quite a bit, actually. Inconsistencies, and what-not…

The Singularity is maybe not happening right now - but, weirdly, we are in the "Age of Spiritual Machines" as predicted by Ray Kurzweil at nearly a perfect space on the timeline he laid out.

Kurzweil isn't right about a lot. He predicted that the doubling rate for semiconductors would increase instead of plateauing in the 2010's. His guesstimates put the cost of (again, his estimates) sufficient gross computing to equal to a human brain in degree to $1000 in 2019. I can't say anything with authority about how he came to his figures, but whatever he claims, it's very unlikely that you can get an equal amount of general computing power for that price IRL.

That said, he does get kudos for some of the concepts he outlined. The "Age of Spiritual Machines" began in 2018.

These guys tried applying the complex pattern-discerning properties of the current raft of neural network tools to a specific task: understanding the actions of a separate program. They get moderately into detail into their methods, but the goal was to simulate the ability of humans and other very intelligent animals to develop a theory of mind(ToM) for outside entities based on an understanding of what is stimulating the entity and past reactions to stimulus. We use our ability to form a theory of mind for lots and lots of things, since our evolutionary background included a lot of social aggression in small groups where understanding how someone else would react to a situation gave strategic advantage. In humans, ToM is hypertrophied to the point that we assign mindedness to nearly any phenomena too complex to model directly. Anthropomorphization of the non-furry kind is what it's called when we treat something that isn't people like it is.

Dudes succeeded. Their Tomnet project is capable of developing independent models of behavior for multiple agents interacting in a simulation space. (Read the fucking paper, Shinji) It can handle multiple levels of complexity. It crrectly deduces rough statistical models for brownian/randomly-acting agenPost too long.

OP you have identified the Cartesian argument concerning solipsism.

Descates aside, I believe there can never be incontrovertible proof that the world is not an illusion or that other people really exist independently of an illusion, self directed or enforced by some third party.

It is ultimately a philosophical choice to decide whether the 'apparently' independent minds and forces in the world disobey you and cause you harm sometimes because you are self destructive, that the third party (god/ai) hates you sometimes or is capricious, or that there really are other imperfect minds out there acting independently of your own.

For more detailed investigations, please consult

Developmental psychology also examines this question through what is called "the no experiment" which typically occurs around the age of 2.

Example: Someone calls to a child, and for the first time the child says, "no" then watches their body to see if it obeys. When it doesn't move, their whole ontology is shifted to acknowledge their own agency as opposed to a former view that the whole of creation was their body/mind, supposedly.

Ultimately it is more interesting to me to consider for the first time humanity has stepped out of the shadow of it's AI overlord/god that controlled everything on a grand scale and can try the whole 'adult agency' thing for a bit.

But that said I am also tickled to consider the words of Morpheus from Deus Ex concerning humanity's need for judgment and approval. (Pic Related)

It takes a certain amount of courage to both be wrong if we are in a simulation, as you face the shame of being wrong, but it also is the only means by which a human being may exercise their will as an adult. One must ultimately realize that we each determine what is and is not, what should or should not be done for ourselves. Cribbing of of some other moral system is ultimately dependence regardless of the reality of the situation.

As such I choose to believe we are free because I choose to believe we are free. But in my made up story, we all get to be gods/adults and in the alternative what we do doesn't matter.

Sophistry perhaps, but as I said earlier the best I've got is a personal preference argument.
