<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> ELLIOTTCABLE: hi
<incomprehensibly> alexgordon:
<alexgordon> hi
<purr> alexgordon: hi!
<alexgordon> hi @ incomprehensibly
<purr> alexgordon: hi!
<alexgordon> no...
<alexgordon> stupid bot
<alexgordon> 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*

<incomprehensibly> 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

<joelteon> 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?
