| kanzure | I'm starting to realize that there's no secret to most manufacturing and the transformation of noise/signal, matter/energy into the complementary forms. From what I can tell, it's mostly just an application of lots and lots of energy, force, power. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| kanzure | Very much 'stick and stones tactics'. | 00:02 |
| kanzure | *sticks | 00:02 |
| Splicer | There seems to be an exuilibrium. I've though about the same thing concerning people who believe in curry lines, religion, ghosts and so on... I thought the info avaliable would make them go away - it didn't - instead thy contribute to the noise. | 00:06 |
| kanzure | Hm? I don't see how that fits into what I was talking about. Could you explain? | 00:09 |
| Splicer | hmm.. i think i missed the context.. sorry | 00:10 |
| Splicer | you were not talking about people | 00:11 |
| kanzure | Right. | 00:12 |
| Splicer | just woke up | 00:12 |
| kanzure | :) | 00:13 |
| kanzure | Oh, right, needed to continue my thoughts. | 00:24 |
| kanzure | So since it's just the application of energy and raw materials in bruteforce tactics in the first place, solutions will always be constrained on the input processes that are feeding the entire system (autotrophy designs); so in this case it probably leads back to the idea of the conversion of 3D volume into 2D surfaces to harvest photons/quanta-of-energy from the local star. | 00:25 |
| kanzure | But that too would need a bootstrapping process. | 00:25 |
| kanzure | Actually, mechanical rollers/flatterners might be sufficient for a bootstrapping proc for orbital / extraplanetary material deconstruction. As long as the energy input provided by the 2D surface is greater than the energy required to fix the metal used to crush flatten the rocks/metal in the first place, all is well. | 00:28 |
| kanzure | Besides, many manufacturing facilities are apparently completely abrasive and lose their metals. So a replacement strategy would be acceptable. | 00:28 |
| kanzure | Of course, proper engineering would lead to absolutely no moving parts, but I'm not sure if we really need such strictness here. | 00:28 |
| kanzure | fenn? | 00:29 |

| kanzure | Hahah. | 21:26 |
| kanzure | I'm going through my medical records. | 21:26 |
| kanzure | They had me on Depakote, Wellbutrin SR, Neurontin, Tegretol, Rispirdal, Zoloft, Tenex, Prozac, and even codeine. | 21:26 |
| ybit | are you taking any of it now? | 22:36 |
| ybit | my drug of choice is modafinil now | 22:36 |

| fenn | nsh | 23:17 |
| ybit | okay, who created nsh? | 23:31 |
| ybit | is it logging? | 23:31 |
| ybit | if so, where to? | 23:31 |
| ybit | where to = where is the log? | 23:31 |
| fenn | nsh is not a bot, and afaik there arent any public logs of this channel | 23:34 |

| fenn | a philosophical question perhaps | 23:41 |
| fenn | i think he just got confused in #swhack | 23:41 |
| fenn | they play with markov chain bots in there | 23:42 |
