[00:00:35] login btw, PapaFrog, does your nickname refer to the fact that you are a father?

[00:00:50] login or a reference (do not be offended) to the pepe meme?

[12:11:25] login MAGIC: how would you feel if the DuckHunt reset and everybody restarted at 0 again?

[12:42:19] login oh, so it resets every 4 months?

[12:43:29] login why does it reset?

[12:43:44] login what's the point of playing if it's going to be deleted with no record of achievement left behind?

[12:44:37] login but the money gets erased too, right?

[12:45:06] login is this true computertech? why do you pay and how?

[13:04:15] login !bang

[13:04:34] login !duckstats

[13:05:13] login so (100-55)/3 = 15?

[22:33:32] login hello averagejoe

[22:33:37] login are you part of the Prometheus Society?

[22:35:46] login Do you know what it takes to enter that Society?

[22:42:04] login Mikoolo: source code available?

[22:42:27] login Hello Kuro-chan, why do you like ComputerTech so much? What makes ?him? so missable?

[22:43:04] login AverageJoe: The Prometheus Society only accepts high IQ people at the 1 in 30,000 level

[22:43:42] login How does one show their dedication to the superior and amazing being who is ComputerTech

[22:43:59] login With or without marijuana?

[22:50:45] login i've never tried it either

[22:50:56] login You are a good chef, Kuro-chan

[22:51:22] login is this you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg_Kuro-chan

[22:51:46] login complaint or compliment?

[22:52:36] login once i got banned from a channel. the reason was 'chats like a markov model (precursor to LLM)'

[22:53:22] login i was the one wondering, btw, ComputerTech

[22:53:45] login I asked, why Kuro-chan misses you so much? What makes you so missable

[22:54:09] login The response was, you are amazing and most superior, and deserving of the dedication of every minute of one's life

[22:54:29] login ans said dedication would be expressed via homemade cookies

[22:54:31] login *and

[22:55:05] login phonekait: what does 'kait' mean?

[22:55:22] login I didn't know there was an 'Angel' obt

[22:55:23] login *bot

[22:55:34] login phonekait: nan = mother or aunt?

[22:55:51] login there is a whole joke on this in the movie (spoiler) 'Crazy Stupid Love'

[22:56:19] login nanny

[22:56:49] login nanny, definition: a person, in particular a woman, employed to look after a child in its own home.

[22:57:01] login Google (from Oxford dictionary) calls a child 'it'

[22:57:31] login phonekait: is nan a number?

[22:57:48] login ski: brain

[22:58:01] login brain sync*

[22:58:27] login Ahsoka: which rule? and you can charge at least 50-100 USD for that

[22:58:36] login a brazilian, it's called

[22:59:22] login ski: do you know, there are companies in Thailand that employ monkeys for fruit-picking?

[22:59:37] login once their upstream suppliers found it, they had to drop the cheap supplier

[22:59:54] login I wonder if food made using oxen tilling the land is still allowed or not

[23:00:35] login Ahsoka: beauty (and looking prepubescent in that one aspect) is painful

[23:00:46] login ski: animal abuse

[23:01:28] login it's because animals cannot consent to work

[23:01:45] login or sex, for that matter

[23:02:13] login they are free to make their living the way they see fit

[23:02:28] login crovax: is that how it appears?

[23:02:45] login is it not allowed?

[23:03:05] login then how do animals procreate?

[23:03:32] login did i mention the sex would be with humans? you assumed that because of certain preconceptions

[23:04:12] login they cannot consent to working, whether for humans or for 'the economy'

[23:04:27] login humans are just the intermediaries of the larger economy demanding work from the animals

[23:04:58] login yet animals have their own economies too

[23:05:11] login since even they have finite resources they want to allocate amongst themselves

[23:05:36] login the animals work or have sex

[23:05:43] login (with each other)

[23:06:17] login i always wrote it with the animal as the subject

[23:07:00] login The monkeys are employed

[23:07:07] login Well, technically, it is

[23:07:34] login humans consent to employing animals

[23:07:39] login animals don't consent to being employed by humans

[23:07:59] login well, i did mean for it to be ambiguous for it to be funnier

[23:08:32] login the joke did not land

[23:09:54] login you can tell from an animal's body language whether they are apprehensive about the situation or not

[23:10:54] login for ethical animal consumption, they'd be breeding them without brains

[23:11:24] login no brain or nervous system = ethical

[23:11:47] login imagine growing an animal with flesh, bone and (importantly) immune system - just for consumption

[23:12:11] login scientists have tried growing animal cells into flesh, but it gets infected very very easily

[23:12:30] login i.e., the body's structure is naturally prone to infection without an immune system to guard

[23:12:36] login there is no soul though

[23:12:45] login and metaphysics is not real

[23:12:56] login it's not that we don't know anything about it - there is nothing to know

[23:13:02] login no, the earth is not round - it is a geoid

[23:13:11] login it's not spherical*

[23:13:17] login it's more oblong due to rotation

[23:13:55] login Is ackchyually a real word?

[23:14:10] login chatgpt proves that it does

[23:14:14] login that thing is an intuition machine

[23:14:39] login ski: how does one check for the existence of it?

[23:14:49] login exactly true

[23:15:01] login science only validates, and even those are subject to scrutiny and refinement

[23:15:06] login science only disproves

[23:15:18] login if it's not falsifiable, it exists outside science

[23:15:56] login what kind of energy is transferred from one soul to another?

[23:16:05] login and what is metaphysical?

[23:16:37] login i.e., the philosophy of existence and the nature of reality?

[23:17:02] login truth is, it's all inside the mind (which is the software whose implementation is the brain) and its perceptions

[23:17:27] login eating a dead animal does not transfer the configuration of its neurons to us - so there is no soul to soul transfer

[23:17:41] login the soul of a human is just the runtime of their brain

[23:17:56] login ComputerTech: you noticed the lamb farm thing?

[23:18:07] login he called you a goat fucker

[23:23:09] login that is an interseting link ski

[23:23:50] login Soul is that part of the human which is unobservable, right?

[23:24:02] login Santa does exist

[23:24:08] login but it's not a person - it's an institution

[23:24:33] login He did come into your house

[23:24:38] login but as a spirit into your parents minds

[23:24:49] login the parents went and did the buying, and the Santa economy produced the good they bought

[23:25:02] login but there is no doubt, Santa was in them... Santa was them

[23:25:34] login That is just a way to visualise the Santa economy

[23:25:42] login like a photo of God

[23:27:12] login epicycles are just another formulation

[23:29:07] login ComputerTech: that cat disappears into that chair!

[23:29:11] login *Mikoolo

[23:31:45] login good like getting a gpu

[23:32:04] login nvidia doesn't sell gaming gpus anymore - it's all about machine learning gpus now

[23:57:34] login So, what is the current consensus on the gaming PC?

[23:57:45] login Whatever it is, I may or may not concur

[23:58:56] login games load into memory anyway

[23:59:16] login only non-optimised software (like macOS) relies on the fast ssd

[23:59:44] login i am eyeing that CD collection
