@izaya for a security job? I feel like you could just say you won and which competition, since CTF is a known activity that demonstrates practical security skills

for some reason, this made me think of a scene in Octavia Butler's "Dawn" (I think it was dawn anyway) where the main character drops an orange on the ground and it starts to damage the environment. naturally, if your world was a living ship, you would know not to "pollute" living systems by mixing them in an uncontrolled way. in some ways though, our world really is a living ship that we should think of caring for in that way. some do, but it's not taught as widely because we've gotten to pretend the world is virtually boundless for so long.

@izaya maybe, but are the marketing people also going to get paid by this? or the custodians in the game devs' office? or HR?

The dough for this also had a relatively long time to proof: I started it in the mid-afternoon and let it sit, first in a warming drawer, then at room temp, then in the fridge overnight. I credit that with giving the bread a lot of its flavor: there's a bit of sour that I like that I generally don't detect for a shorter proof.

@jeffalyanak ah. forgot I had ever played this on GBA. weird, sad, fun game.

all self-knowledge is good. even so, it's rather disappointing to me to realize how much external motivation I need to really get things done. it's not universal, obviously: I've managed to study, exercise, and eat healthy at different times without anyone telling me to. still, when there are no consequences in terms of my personal or professional relationships, it's far too easy for me to just put things off or drop them.

@izaya the music of your people?

@izaya that shouldn't be hard. aren't you in Australia?

british/indian slang is a funny thing. I read a headline about a woman getting "papped" outside of an office. I was surprised: I always thought pap smears were done *inside* the doctor's office 😂

There seems to be a hang-up around the linguistic accessibility of conscious experience. One of the thought experiments is "Mary" the color theorist who lives in a gray world then sees color for the first time, where the question is "does Mary learn something when experiencing color although she has all the knowledge of color theory?" To me, that's not more remarkable than the inaccessibility of the mechanism by which we can instrument our limbs without knowing the precise evolution of the cascade of impulses flowing from our brains.

I put a cup of oats the dough at the start, 2 cups bread flour, and another cup of all purpose. I'm not sure what difference it's made in the end. after that it was a combination of, I think, 2 more cups AP, somewhat more than 1 cup of whole wheat. i used a muffin tin since I thought it would make my rolls look a bit funny. also they've got a good coating of olive oil and a bit more salt on that, which is pretty nice.

the loaf is made from the same dough. it's a bit undersized for the pan, and probably over proofed, but I remembered to deflate the larger pockets before baking, so I think it should hold together better than my last loaf where the crust tore away from the interior

I don't understand what the "hard problem of consciousness" is. What do philosophers mean when they say that "there's something it's like to ..."? They say "like" in this emphatic way that they seem to believe means something.

finally read up on spatial indexing. dunno what took me so long: the basics aren't much more complicated than with btrees. still need to understand some of the specifics of how some things work like adding buffers around a region or querying relative to curves (e.g. find the closest road to a river, going upriver from point x)

@izaya use more emojis? I imagine people don't read any of my posting history to pick up on my vibe, so I try to make my tone more explicit. (I still feel like I'm too old or too young for some of the emojis I use though😅 )
