ELLIOTTCABLE changed the topic of #elliottcable to: a _better_ cult ˙ ͜ʟ˙ embrace, extend, extinguish.
<devyn>
Ruby has some odd operator definitions that no one really uses
<devyn>
for example, everyone knows that:
<devyn>
[1, 2, 3] * 3
<devyn>
is
<devyn>
[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]
<devyn>
but I don't think most people know that
<devyn>
[1, 2, 3] * ","
<devyn>
is
<devyn>
"1,2,3"
<devyn>
it's equivalent to #join
<devyn>
so weird

incomprehensibly: I was thinking about brains yesterday
<alexgordon>
which is funny because I _am_ a brain
<incomprehensibly>
hahahahahaha
<alexgordon>
so it was an exercise in thought-based masturbation
<incomprehensibly>
similar cool things:
<incomprehensibly>
not only is like the word brain refer to the brain itself
<incomprehensibly>
but also like
<incomprehensibly>
think about this:
<incomprehensibly>
"in the soup of concepts in ur brain one concept can refer to the whole soup"
<incomprehensibly>
"soup" is twisting around to be the whole soup
<alexgordon>
!
<alexgordon>
a set that contains itself
<incomprehensibly>
in math and brains everything is "pointers"/"by-reference"
<incomprehensibly>
specifically von neumann imperative stack and heap things very particularly have the stack/heap distinction
<incomprehensibly>
like, copying vs referring is a fundamental thing but like, the fact that "by reference" and "by value" is such a thing in programming
<alexgordon>
pointers are values too!
<incomprehensibly>
right
<alexgordon>
incomprehensibly: anyway so yeah, I was writing a comparison of the brain and man-made technology yesterday
<alexgordon>
I've always been interested in the idea that the brain sets a "lower bound" for computation, because if the brain can do it, then artificial technology can do it too
<alexgordon>
(not sure why I put lower bound in quotes lol)
<purr>
lol
<alexgordon>
so I worked out that if you assembled a brain-sized pile of micro-sd cards, you would have 320 TB of storage
<alexgordon>
which is quite a lot
<alexgordon>
so then I was interested in whether that was bigger or smaller than what the brain is capable of
<alexgordon>
long story short: 320 TB is about 300 million books, or 100 million images, or 22 waking years of video
<alexgordon>
so bigger. much bigger
<incomprehensibly>
hahahha brain sized pile of microsd
<incomprehensibly>
i lik ethat
<incomprehensibly>
i like that*

well i mean, bigger in terms of the analytical knowledge the brain can know on a conscious level
<incomprehensibly>
hard to quantify all the information stored in the brain

is it a trait of smooth switches that pressing them too hard means no response?
<joelteon>
or too quickly, i guess
<joelteon>
i didn't have this problem with browns
<joelteon>
or is this keyboard fucked up?
