Try oats: they love eating the shoots.
When you buy “cat grass”, it’s oats.
Just get some whole oats from your local health-food store, & plant ‘em, & let your friends eat the stuff to their hearts’ content:
it’ll do their health good, too!

He understands.
So, East Germany, basically, with tech.
I’m suggesting you invest in reading a book on https://www.LeanPub.com called “Algebra-Driven Design”.
the reason I’m suggesting it is that the complex-requirements you’re being persecuted-by, are exactly the sort of thing that that book can help with.
( I’m presuming you code )
By creating the domain’s algebra, & using meta-programming, you can prevent whole categories of bugs.
I only got part-way into the book ( I’m braindamaged, & have beenfailing to learn programming since the 1980’s, when I lost 1/10th of my brain-volume ), but being able to create an APi with ZERO bugs in it, is part of what I’d seen in that book.
I’m a huge believer in keeping requirements divided into dimensions, & keeping those dimensions orthogonal, because once you fail in doing that, you’re fscking doomed.
Here: got the link for you:

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )
& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.
( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )
so, I can’t understand your position.
Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.
Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.
You don’t have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.
That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.
Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one’s renditions isn’t in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Anybody who pretends that the US hasn’t operated as an empire, there is even a book named “How To Hide An Empire” on it.
That insight ( the link ) of Glubb’s was important.
Please glance at the history backing it, in that table, on that page…
I believe it is partly that the empire-rulers identity becomes sooo completely mis-matched from the actual composition of the empire, that it is an inevitable self-destruction, at that age of its evolution.
insightful question,
it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.
“once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”
A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).
It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.
Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.
Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…
The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.
“Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.
It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.
Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??
Do it.
Everybody do it.
Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.
I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.
There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.
No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?
Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.
1984, but for-profit.
Sorry for the … dim … view, but it’s been unfolding for a couple decades, & it’s getting blatent, fast.

I can’t imagine the corruption/anti-integrity required to reconcile those 2 facts.
How come he isn’t in jail, for fraud??
Simplistic.
Anarchists pretend that no-archy is both good & workable.
No-archy, within your body, is called metastasized-cancer.
Having bone-cells growing anywhere-they-want, is no-archy.
Having bone-cells growing ONLY where they are supposed to be, is archy.
Same with every kind of cells.
Whenever police-services of whatever kind is removed from a civilization, organized-crime becomes the police.
“Nature abhors a vacuum.”, automatically demonstrates its inevitability.
Try un-corrupting Northern Mexico, now, after the drug-cartels became the real government of that territory.
The hierarchy within your body, with the 4 brains running everything…
One’s gut-biome modifies the funciton of the nervous-system, significantly, too.
But anybody who denies that hierarchy is intrinsic to evolved-intelligence, is incompetent.
Anybody who denies that hierarchy is intrinsic to the human-advantage of considered-reasoning, produced by the cortex, is incompetent.
Just letting all the organs in one’s body decide “by consensus” what to do, blotting-out one’s human-brain, wouldn’t produce human meaning, it’d instead produce porridge’s meaning.
The same is true in civilization.
You cannot have people incompetent in science doing science…
You cannot have people incompetent in managing doing managing…
You cannot have people incompetent in teaching doing teaching…
…without anti-strategic consequences conquering the civilization ( exactly what all countries among our world, at the moment, have done ).
This Anark posits that hierarchy itself is the problem.
OK, so his brain, at the top of the hierarchy within his organs-system, within his body, holds taht hierarchy itself is the wrong answer.
Do you see the narcissistic “different rules for internally vs for externally, different rules for me vs for you” scam that politically-motivateds pull, relentlessly?
Hierarchy itself isn’t the problem.
The problem is the rewards-system embodied in particular hierarchies.
Given that corruption is normal & pervasive in human-nature, the ONLY method for breaking corruption’s rule of our world is … FLOSS doing the managing.
Make the eligibility for authority be removed by being of the narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilism/sadism/systemic-dishonesty hexad.
Make the eligibility for authority be contingent on one’s responsibility.
Make it so that authority cannot be gained politically, but instead only through tested merit.
I’m not talking about politically-highjacked “meritocracy” which always devolves down to privilege-archy, I’m talking about guaranteed-healthy-level-playing-field where education works properly, and cannot be highjacked, where adequate-nutrition is guaranteed to all students & children, where people as part of their educational development are got as competent as possible ( not as dumbed-down & turned-into-steers, as our “education” institution is oriented to doing: “the only manipulable child is a broken & insecure child”, as John Taylor Gatto, the NY State Teacher of the Year award winner, pointed-out )…
I’m talking a kind of education where each student is brought up to their rightful capability, no matter what “grade” that is, for that subject, so you could have a 12yo learning calculus in 1 session then learning basic-English in another, instead of dumbing-down everybody to the institutionally-enforced lowest-common-denominator…
( fundamentally the communist concept of “education”, which is regimented mass force-feeding is evil, as it runs-over the GodGivenPotential in nearly-all of the students’ lives, manufacturing aversion-to-learning, in place of the hunger-for-understanding that had been born into kids )
You boost up LivingPotential, and as people reach the more-competent levels, you challenge 'em more, & test 'em more…
and you prevent the people who have the wrong character, the wrong nature, from having authority, systematically.
THAT is missing from all political-systems in our world.
Politics intends that narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilism/sadism/systemic-dishonesty have exclusive-rights/authority, and uses every means possible, to gain that highjacking.
Break political-motivation from authority of any kind.
ONLY THEN will it be possible to discover what having a “healthy brain, healthy heart, healthy bones, & healthy muscles” means, for any civilization.
Anyways, downvote me to hell, for not parroting accepted-dogma.
Hierarchy is required both within one’s body & within any effective civilization.
Corrupt-VALUES make it impossible for a hierarchy to produce uncorrupt results, but corrupt-values are not God-given, not Universe-predetermined, they are indulged-in by our kind.
Ruthless objectivity & ruthless integrity can, if held-to, break that from our social-momentum, for a portion of humankind, IF that portion has the spine to earn it.
Otherwise, The Great Filter will just keep escalating, until our rampaging ignorance has force-extinguished all humankind, later this century.

My comment isn’t on your script, it is on paper-selection…
Please have several, orthogonal, selection-systems:
most-cited,
most trustworthy researchers
most unique area of research, or most unique question, or something
most central to new tech
most central to old tech
most undernoticed, big potential… ( things that should be big news, but the global novelty-addiction ignores it )
best fundamental science ( definitely include this category! )
best citizen-science
etc…
iow, the algorithm that most use, which is “paying attention to what others are paying attention to” is an algorithm we shouldn’t be assigning our viability to, you know?
Also, you may need to make a flexible-limit for dumbing-down, as some papers may have a higher limit and others a lower limit, so some could be easy for most to get the sense of, but some might be tricky … and it might well do more good to let them have their different thresholds, see?
2 comments:
they said that it shows the emission of electromagnetic energy has the same cause, but didn’t explain what that cause is…
they said that magnetars don’t emit energy all the time, so we had to catch them when they did emit: that is false: we have to catch them when they’re emitting at us, which is a very-different frame-of-reference.
Also, if the things are neutron-stars, then how the hell can they even have any electromagnetic field?
Neutrons are neutral.
It must be a crust of non-neutron protons & electrons, or the plasma swirling in, or something, that’s producing the electromagnetic field…
No need to bother commenting on anything I say:
just random thoughs flitting through a deteriorating old brain…

I think part of the problem is simply that people are trying to figure-out what “good & proper boundaries” means, for them, and since nobody’s got themselves together
( our world is engineered to sabotage self-competence: the self-competent can’t be preyed-upon as completely or easily as the compromised, therefore self-competence isn’t permitted.
As John Taylor Gatto, a New York State award winning teacher told us, children with secure self can’t be manipulated, and therefore the education institution cannot tolerate children to have secure self.
Breaking them, so they are dependent on approval, is required, for institutional authority/security/dominion.
All the spyware that surveillance-capitalism does, the “panopticon” we bought our way into, is the same thing, but for-profit, and for-corporatism. A “designer prison”.
Comically, it’s fundamentally about competing addictions, with social-status being tied to sociopathy, in some corporate cultures. )
since nobody’s got themselves together, we’re all defective in doing relationship properly, because the fake relationship pushed on/in previous generations ( looking at the 1950’s for its fakeness, as the worst ) meant that their relationships were … often fundamentally ignoring & pretence based.
Try enduring a few minutes of “The Waltons” and see if you can stomach the “relationships” in it…
it was popular!
People believed in that, as hard as they could.
Getting bogusness out from ourselves has to happen in order for us to get it out from our relationships, right?
Well, it’s a messy process…
Violence is changing in the US, and the “dip” is … temporary.
( the calm before the storm )
Notice that mass-shootings are now over 2x per day in the US.
That isn’t a decrease, that is skyrocketing.
After economic collapse destroys Biden in 2024 ( incumbents lose when the economy wrecks, and right-wing “getting even” often/usually wins on that circumstance, exactly as Hitler did, nearly a century ago ),
and the kkk rules the US, you won’t see low violence statistics, you may well not see any statistics, because it might be illegal to collect them, just as the NRA lobbied until it got child-deaths-by-guns to no longer be monitored ( anti-evidence on that, is evil ).
People like Steven Pinker, who insists that “economic violence doesn’t exist” ( really? double the unemployment rate, & see if violent-crime changes, and in which direction, if your ideology permits you to see the evidence, Pinker ), and others who look at short term ( some years, a decade or 2 ), but who ignore the consequences of the now-normal working-destitution, of the enforcing learned-helplessness into more & more & more of the population ( learned-helplessness produces nihilism & sadism, as Russian culture, and all the torture-chambers Russians create throughout Ukraine, or Wagner-territory )…
There are consequences that take a generation or 2 to “flower”.
The chickens are coming home to roost, soon.
Nobody on the planet, who has intellectual integrity, is going to claim “violence has decreased” once the now-inevitable slaughter has got going.
Wait until 2026 & try claiming that lethal violence has decreased in the US, on average, I dare you/anyone.
Humanity wouldn’t correct the real/fundamental problems, and so … the distractions … didn’t work, and the fundamental problems now get to take possession/ownership of our world.
Oh, well: I guess people can’t learn until experience-induced-understanding forces learning into one, so it’s natural, but … it’s going to cost an ocean of lives.
It’s simple:
Beat the population into learned-helplessness,
& then all the AI molestingware that the device can run, can be running in it.
Desensitization/enforced-learned-helplessness.
It’s just a conditioning-step, is all.
The profit is in having the population not have any privacy left, & living only within the neuromarketing-platforms that the mainstream operating-systems are becoming.
It’s just a step in the suckerpunching humankind, is all.
