Kids with projectors are putting images on smog areas in America

At first police thought it was ufos.

This trend now has been taken by big business and advertising in smog is big business

>How do probiotics get the genes out of the test tube and into a functioning living organism?

You make the bacteria produce something that will be absorbed by the body. If you wanted muscle growth for example you could make the bacteria produce a Myostatin Inhibitor.

>>48992

Somewhat similar, as a type one diabetic I've wondered if some sort of controlled insulinoma (tumor that results in excess insulin production) could be used to produce a basal amount of insulin. Of course, that'd mean either having a tumor inside you by choice, or having it outside your body for ease of control, which isn't much of a benefit over insulin pump therapy.

>>49018

How about microbe in your gut that generate insulin? would that work?

>>49046

It would be very difficult to do that in the gut. You would need the microbes to produce just the right amount of insulin at the right time. A better idea might be an insulin pump with a bioreactor attached to it.

Anyone know where I could get an erythropoietin gene doping kit?

Has anyone ever noticed the rich always are killing people.

Then the police in force the poor.

Not bashing the police

It’s just odd.

I mean… we aren't really getting cybernetic body replacements because we skipped pasted it to straight up growing shit with stem cells. Weird how we didn't predict that.

No miles and miles of fiber, instead we've skipped past that to straight wireless everything.

The IoT and wireless everything is a boom for war drivers like me. Scene nearly dropped off till everyone started hooking up all kinds of shit to wireless networks. Now it's a field day of remotes, video streaming dongles, camera's and all manner of computers.

It's not like we expected it but I enjoy the surprise! The future is now with all it's wonder and sometimes frightening possibilities.

The chess board is 3d now instead of 2d. You won't see a 1984 scenario exactly, more like a hybrid of normal, brave new world and 1984, only this case governments and corporations have a tenuous grasp of things.

Maybe a stupid question but…where can one find cyber clubs/orgs/etc? I'm sure there's no central repository for this information and sites like Meetup I HIGHLY doubt will ever be of use for such an underground interest.

Some time ago I would meet up with a group of dudes and we would have a "flash drive party" (I know totally virgin-sounding) where we would get together with our laptops and exchange shit we had. Everything from movies, games, ebooks, sites, forums, pics, etc. yet most of it was all cyber-related. We all sadly went our separate ways (school, jobs, etc.) but…idk as old-fashioned as that sounds it would be cool to meet like-minded people and share data.

Probably a man. Generally, people are hesitant to get in long distance relationships because its such a strain. Couples who have been dating for monthes break things off when people move (IE. kids going off to colleges). Women control the dating market under 30. So, a woman under 30 choosing to enter a relationship long term with no prior connection, is probably a man / fat / or both. And even fat women can get in person relationships.

You never know. What if you met girl and she was a woman, and fat. Would things have been perfect? Maybe she accepts you as is, you break up for a different reason, and you forewent all the self improvement you would have chased for years trying to make yourself marketable material. Maybe she would be fat, and you guys would settle for each other half happy, never improved. Maybe she was a man, and its good for you didn't meet her. Etc. There are really so many possibilities, how can you decide what the best decision was ? You can only guess.

>>52541

Nah. I went out of my way to meet them. I've met one person from /cyber/, 4 from /vg/ (one of whom I'm now living with), and a shitload from /k/.

It's been a wild ride.

working on my compiler which is more like a macro assembler + linker than a true compiler It's written in C.

Is codeacademy any good for an absolute, know-nothing beginner?

>>51986

I remember not liking it, but I don't remember why exactly.

>>51986

It's probably okay if you're motivated to follow through on it. Personally I read books when I was beginning because they are easier to skip around in when you don't give a shit about a topic. The most important thing is to work on projects that interest you but are also within your ability. When you naturally find yourself needing a feature you'll be more motivated to learn it.

>>51991

> When you naturally find yourself needing a feature you'll be more motivated to learn it.

This is why I wrote my first hash table implementation. command_name -> function mapping in some IRC bot. Linked lists were taking too long with 100s of commands.

Also, I did make changes/edits to address issues with clarity where the article, my composition and/or expressing of ideas were concerned.

So thank you again for your input!

>>52498

You sound severely autistic. Thanks for shitting up the board with your self-advertising. You remind me of that retard on Megachan who tried to get everyone to read his stupid blog.

>>52513

As I stated, my work generally already reaches a considerable audience.

I have been coming to this site for a couple of years and do not think I have ever posted my other work here.

I state this because I did not post my work here for recognition.

I posted it here because there are few places on the Internet with a dedicated population interested in Cyberpunk, and I value the opinions of this community and was hoping a productive dialogue would result.

I think minds with interests in the subjects/themes that comprise Cyberpunk could have some perspective on real world problems I interested in.

Also, I do not believe I have ever been to Megachan (or knew it existed before now) and have not been diagnosed as autistic.

I am working to try and find solutions to issues; I do not blame you for being skeptical, but it is the truth.

Think tanks are regularly employed in a similar manner.

No worries though. I have compiled thousands of links to related subjects/documents/resources/pages related to these topics..

When the hidden service is up I will post the link here; hopefully the ideas I seek will occur more organically that way.

>>52505

>I was more stating that people have more in common with some themes of Cyberpunk.

I'd say that reality has become more cyberpunk rather than everyone one the planet is a cyberpunk. Your examples were particularly egregious: Taxes have literally been around for at least 2,000 years, and predate virtually everything except agriculture. Amish paying taxes isn't high tech. Indigenous tribes acting territorial isn't failing to escape tech, its human behavior as old as time. My thought is that cyberpunks are supposed to be more technologically equipt and on the outskirt of societal norms involving technology than their peers. You see this Necromancer with Panther Moderns under going cosmetic body modification to look grotesque intentionally to signal themselves as outsiders. Its punk. I think a core feature is rejection of societal values, and by definition the majority of people cannot do that.

>I am concerned that governments do not seem to be addressing what is around the corner (which is not a surprise and is a trend in of itself).

The trend your talking about is not far from clear. Personally, I believe its extremely likely that automation within my lifetime will kill jobs in masse. But this perspective is something people have been saying since the 1920s. And as new technology has emerged, new jobs have emerged with it. Generally, people whoose jobs are automated away are not able to be retrained, but a new generation takes ups new jobs. Many economists argue that technology advance actually creates as many jobs as it displaces.

But, your idea that a sizable amount of people will be able to transition to STEM jobs is non-nonsensical. Already their not enough hard science jobs to match the number of people graduating with hard science degrees. And most people are not even remotely capable of the kind of analytic thought required for a B.S degree in a hard science, and beyond that, a B.S. in hard science isn't actually enough knowledge ot be economically useful. Its such a meme. Know one will pay you to solve the limited differential equations you can solve when CAS systems exist.

Its hard for me to understand how you can be a professional pentester. Your basic understanding of things like password complexity, computing power, and even what electronics are seems widely deficit.

It seems clear you have never repaired a computer a day in your life. Perhaps pentesting is specialized knowledge. But you seemed to vastly overestimate the power of tools like metasploit, and what kind of requirements exist to get a job in IT.

There are plenty of hostile people here, and I think you should ignore them. I am happy to discuss your crazy ideas with you, but they are crazy. 1/3 of your essay was about the third world rising up using metasploit and e-waste. I suppose there is a kernel of truth to that - not that the 3rd world could reorder global geopolitics successfully on a massive scale through e-waste and metasploit, but that "cyberware" is a cheap way to project power globally, and so countries deficient in hard power like North Korea, Iran, Israel have definitely explored it.

>>52404

Amen to that.

All of 8chan is dying, tons of people went back to cuckchan and some boards there are now 120% normalfagit-tier. The original pol is co-opted as shit, artificial opposition, nothing but conspiratards and blackedposting.

And normalfagits themselves got too used to the ease-of-use and sheltered safe spaces of apps. I seen kids who don't know what the fuck to do when there isn't an app store.

Reddit as a platform sucks for a variety of reasons, but none of those reasons are reddit 4 newbs im a hacker cyberpunk schway.

Just a quick update for anybody who thought this was dead. It's still in the works, and there are 2 seasons confirmed: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-08-02/new-ghost-in-the-shell-anime-will-have-2-seasons/.134977

I just saw Ready Player One and as shit as the entire thing being filled to the brim with pop culture references, the inventory system seems to be viable at the very least.

>>44980

how was no one recognized this as National Instruments LabView + 3D ?

Its designed to make programming accessible to electrical engineers who think in signal flow. Its proprietary bullshit, but unbelievably, used at CERN.

No idea where you got the idea that tox had died, there are consistently like 20-40 people on it actively chatting everyday. Swells up on the weekends, Club Cyberia is still going strong.

tox by itself isnt dead, sorry for misunderstanding

>>52176

I just tried out this chatroom on tor last night and nobody at all was on it, and the logs of discussion in the scroll two days back didn't amount to much more than 'hey' 'whats up' do you guys actually have interesting discussions there or is it usually like this?

>>52406

we usually have interesting discussions. A lot of that stuff is in members chat. It is a bit lonely on working days and plus I'm too busy to spend time there right now. Really good stuff is on weekends.

Also note that activity peaks around 20 UTC

Sorry for doubleposting but also I'm usually available around 22:00UTC if that helps anyone contact me.
