Notices by Thor, the Norseman has moved! (thor@snabeltann.no), page 12

I am now stuffed to the brim with pinnekjøtt (salted, dried, rehydrated, steamed lamb ribs), ribbe (roasted pork belly), kålrotstappe (stewed swedes), potatoes and riskrem (cooled rice porridge folded into whipped cream). I have listened to Sølvguttene (traditional Norwegian boys' choir that ushers in Christmas), watched Tre nøtter til askepott (Czech version of Cinderella dubbed by a single dude who does all the voices) and I have opened my presents. I have done my duty as a Norwegian. 😔🤚🇳🇴

If we are unable to come up with laws that keep companies ethical, how can we expect to come up with laws of robotics that keep autonomous AIs ethical? Just as there are far more ways of tangling a rope than there are ways of rolling it up neatly, there are far more ways of doing the wrong thing than there are ways of doing the right thing.

I have a love-hate relationship to people who jolt you out of your misery with their mental clarity. The sort of person I'm talking about won't display empathy if you bring them a personal problem. Instead, they will ask you a completely tangential question that forces you to think rationally. They are like mental chiropractors fixing a kink in your brain's neck by snapping it into place. I love it because it's so effective. I hate it because someone is cleverer than me.

A thread on Reddit made me realise that people who are monolingual don't know how being bilingual affects your inner monologue. The answer? It switches back and forth. Makes me a bit skeptical of the Saphir-Worf hypothesis to be frank, because I can think about something and instantly speak of it in either language. Also, I often have an abstract idea in my head before I can remember the word for it. That's symbolic thinking without language, isn't it?

@vinzv @NathanHawks @schestowitz I frankly think identities should be transferrable between instances. I mean, it sort of isn't terribly relevant to me what instance my friend is on. I just want to stay in touch with my friend.

Any developers interested in collaborating on an open source multi-user digital painting Web app that aims for high quality output? I've done this kind of thing before, in 2004, in Java. Now I want to do it again, with HTML5+JS+WebGL and iOS/Android+GLES. Render engine will be written in a language with LLVM/Emscripten support to avoid writing it 3 times. Got a sort of white paper written and a block diagram of the client. Poke me / retoot if this piques your interest. 💾

Things I wish they had let me study in elementary and middle school:

- Computer software development
- Analog and digital circuit design
- Vectors, matrices and calculus with a focus on practical engineering applications
- Sound recording and production
- Radio/TV production
- Drawing and traditional animation
- 3D modeling and animation

Hardly anyone in my small town would've understood subjects. I know most of them now, but could've had a head start if they'd let me use my potential.
